Using ANT to compile Flex files

Hi All,

The below example will show how to use ANT to compile Flex files to generate .SWF files.

Step 1: Install FLEX SDK3.1   e.g   c:/flex3.1

Step 2: Create a build.xml    e.g. build.xml

Step 3: Add the below ant task defination  in the Build.xml
<taskdef resource=”flexTasks.tasks” classpath=”c:/flex3.1/ant/lib/flexTasks.jar”/>

Step 4: Crate an Ant Task
<target name=”compileFlex”>
<mxmlc file=”/flex/src/Index.mxml”
incremental=”true”
debug=”false”
optimize=”true”
warnings=”false”
services=”flex/services-config.xml”
output=”build/project/view/index.swf”
classpath=”c:/flex3.1/ant/lib/flexTasks.jar”>
<load-config filename=”c:/flex3.1/frameworks/flex-config.xml”/>
<compiler.library-path dir=”lib/swc” append=”true”>
<include name=”*.swc” />
</compiler.library-path>

</mxmlc>

</target>

Thanks
