Overview

The MXMLC task provides a rake front end to the Flex MXMLC command line compiler. This task is integrated with the LibraryTask so that if any dependencies are library tasks, they will be automatically added to the library_path or source_path depending on whether they provide a swc or sources.

The entire MXMLC advanced interface has been provided here. All parameter names should be identical to what is available on the regular compiler except dashes have been replaced by underscores.

The following example can be pasted in a file named ‘rakefile.rb’ which should be placed in the same folder as an ActionScript 3.0 class named ‘SomeProject.as’ that extends flash.display.Sprite.

# Create a remote library dependency on the corelib swc.
library :corelib

# Alias the compilation task with one that is easier to type
task :compile => 'SomeProject.swf'

# Create an MXMLCTask named for the output file that it creates. This task depends on the
# corelib library and will automatically add the corelib.swc to it's library_path
mxmlc 'SomeProject.swf' => :corelib do |t|
  t.input                     = 'SomeProject.as'
  t.default_size              = '800 600'
  t.default_background_color  = "#FFFFFF"
end

Note: Be sure to check out the features of the ToolTask to learn more about gem_version and preprocessor

end

#debug=(boolean) ⇒ Object

Generates a debug SWF file. This file includes line numbers and filenames of all the source files. When a run-time error occurs, the stacktrace shows these line numbers and filenames. This information is also used by the command-line debugger and the Flex Builder debugger. Enabling the debug option generates larger SWF files.

For the mxmlc compiler, the default value is false. For the compc compiler, the default value is true.

For SWC files generated with the compc compiler, set this value to true, unless the target SWC file is an RSL. In that case, set the debug option to false.

For information about the command-line debugger, see Using the Command-Line Debugger (livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001540.html#181846).

Flex also uses the verbose-stacktraces setting to determine whether line numbers are added to the stacktrace.

end

#default_background_color=(string) ⇒ Object

Sets the application’s background color. You use the 0x notation to set the color, as the following example shows:

-default-background-color=0xCCCCFF

The default value is null. The default background of a Flex application is an image of a gray gradient. You must override this image for the value of the default-background-color option to be visible. For more information, see Editing application settings (livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001504.html#138781).

This is an advanced option.

# File 'lib/sprout/tasks/mxmlc_documentation.rb', line 84

def default_frame_rate=(number)
  @default_frame_rate = number
end

#default_script_limits=(string) ⇒ Object

Defines the application’s script execution limits. The max-recursion-depth value specifies the maximum depth of Adobe Flash Player call stack before Flash Player stops. This is essentially the stack overflow limit. The default value is 1000.

The max-execution-time value specifies the maximum duration, in seconds, that an ActionScript event handler can execute before Flash Player assumes that it is hung, and aborts it. The default value is 60 seconds. You cannot set this value above 60 seconds.

Example:

# 900 is new max-recursion-depth # 20 is new max-execution-time t.default_script_limits = ‘900 20’

You can override these settings in the application.

This is an advanced option.

#define_conditional=(strings) ⇒ Object

This parameter is normally called ‘define’ but thanks to scoping issues with Sprouts and Rake, we needed to rename it and chose: ‘define_conditional’.

Define a global AS3 conditional compilation definition, e.g. -define=CONFIG::debugging,true or -define+=CONFIG::debugging,true (to append to existing definitions in flex-config.xml) (advanced, repeatable)

end

#es=(boolean) ⇒ Object

Use the ECMAScript edition 3 prototype-based object model to allow dynamic overriding of prototype properties. In the prototype-based object model, built-in functions are implemented as dynamic properties of prototype objects.

You can set the strict option to true when you use this model, but it might result in compiler errors for references to dynamic properties.

The default value is false. If you set this option to true, you must set the es3 option to false.

This is an advanced option.

end

#include_libraries=(files) ⇒ Object

Links all classes inside a SWC file to the resulting application SWF file, regardless of whether or not they are used.

Contrast this option with the library-path option that includes only those classes that are referenced at compile time.

To link one or more classes whether or not they are used and not an entire SWC file, use the includes option.

This option is commonly used to specify resource bundles.



241
242
243
 
# File 'lib/sprout/tasks/mxmlc_documentation.rb', line 241

def include_libraries=(files)
  @include_libraries = files

256
 
# File 'lib/sprout/tasks/mxmlc_documentation.rb', line 254

def include_path=(paths)
  @include_path = paths
end

#includes=(symbols) ⇒ Object

Links one or more classes to the resulting application SWF file, whether or not those classes are required at compile time.

To link an entire SWC file rather than individual classes, use the include-libraries option.



248
249
250
 
# File 'lib/sprout/tasks/mxmlc_documentation.rb', line 248

def includes=(symbols)
  @includes = symbols
end

#incremental=(boolean) ⇒ Object

Enables incremental compilation. For more information, see About incremental compilation (livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001506.html#153980).

This option is true by default for the Flex Builder application compiler. For the command-line compiler, the default is false. The web-tier compiler does not support incremental compilation.



261
262
263
 
# File 'lib/sprout/tasks/mxmlc_documentation.rb', line 261

def incremental=(boolean)
  @incremental = boolean

EOF
  end
  
  add_param(:library_path, :files) do |p|
    p.description =<<EOF
Links SWC files to the resulting application SWF file. The compiler only links in those classes for the SWC file that are required.

The default value of the library-path option includes all SWC files in the libs directory and the current locale. These are required.

To point to individual classes or packages rather than entire SWC files, use the source-path option.

If you set the value of the library-path as an option of the command-line compiler, you must also explicitly add the framework.swc and locale SWC files. Your new entry is not appended to the library-path but replaces it.

You can use the += operator to append the new argument to the list of existing SWC files.

In a configuration file, you can set the append attribute of the library-path tag to true to indicate that the values should be appended to the library path rather than replace it.

Prints linking information to the specified output file. This file is an XML file that contains <def>, <pre>, and <ext> symbols showing linker dependencies in the final SWF file.

The file format output by this command can be used to write a file for input to the load-externs option.

For more information on the report, see Examining linker dependencies (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001394.html#211202).

This is an advanced option.
EOF
  end
  
  add_param(:load_config, :files) do |p|
    p.description =<<EOF
Specifies the location of the configuration file that defines compiler options.

If you specify a configuration file, you can override individual options by setting them on the command line.

All relative paths in the configuration file are relative to the location of the configuration file itself.

Use the += operator to chain this configuration file to other configuration files.

For more information on using configuration files to provide options to the command-line compilers, see About configuration files (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001490.html#138195).
EOF
  end
  
  add_param(:load_externs, :file) do |p|
    p.description =<<EOF
Specifies the location of an XML file that contains <def>, <pre>, and <ext> symbols to omit from linking when compiling a SWF file.

For more information on the report, see Examining linker dependencies (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001394.html#211202).

This option provides compile-time link checking for external components that are dynamically linked.

For more information about dynamic linking, see About linking (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001521.html#205852).

This is an advanced option.
EOF

The default value is false.
EOF
  end
  
  add_param(:output, :file) do |p|
    p.description =<<EOF
Specifies the output path and filename for the resulting file. If you omit this option, the compiler saves the SWF file to the directory where the target file is located.

The default SWF filename matches the target filename, but with a SWF file extension.

If you use a relative path to define the filename, it is always relative to the current working directory, not the target MXML application root.

The compiler creates extra directories based on the specified filename if those directories are not present.

When using this option with the component compiler, the output is a SWC file rather than a SWF file.

#library_path=(files) ⇒ Object

Links SWC files to the resulting application SWF file. The compiler only links in those classes for the SWC file that are required.

The default value of the library-path option includes all SWC files in the libs directory and the current locale. These are required.

To point to individual classes or packages rather than entire SWC files, use the source-path option.

If you set the value of the library-path as an option of the command-line compiler, you must also explicitly add the framework.swc and locale SWC files. Your new entry is not appended to the library-path but replaces it.

You can use the += operator to append the new argument to the list of existing SWC files.

In a configuration file, you can set the append attribute of the library-path tag to true to indicate that the values should be appended to the library path rather than replace it.

Specifies the location of an XML file that contains <def>, <pre>, and <ext> symbols to omit from linking when compiling a SWF file. The XML file uses the same syntax as the one produced by the link-report option. For more information on the report, see Examining linker dependencies (livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001394.html#211202).

This option provides compile-time link checking for external components that are dynamically linked.

For more information about dynamic linking, see About linking (livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00001521.html#205852).

This is an advanced option.

#locale=(string) ⇒ Object

Specifies the locale that should be packaged in the SWF file (for example, en_EN). You run the mxmlc compiler multiple times to create SWF files for more than one locale, with only the locale option changing.

You must also include the parent directory of the individual locale directories, plus the token locale, in the source-path; for example:

mxmlc -locale en_EN -source-path locale/locale -file-specs MainApp.mxml

# File 'lib/sprout/tasks/mxmlc_documentation.rb', line 404

def optimize=(boolean)
  @optimize = boolean
end

#output=(file) ⇒ Object

Specifies the output path and filename for the resulting file. If you omit this option, the compiler saves the SWF file to the directory where the target file is located.

The default SWF filename matches the target filename, but with a SWF file extension.

If you use a relative path to define the filename, it is always relative to the current working directory, not the target MXML application root.

The compiler creates extra directories based on the specified filename if those directories are not present.

When using this option with the component compiler, the output is a SWC file rather than a SWF file.
