Add Linked Resources (as a src folder) to ANT builds

August 13th, 2010 Marvin Blase

Here's another quick snippet to add Linked Resources to a compile process built with ANT. You know, you can link a whole directory to be a "Linked Library" in FDT, e.g. Greensock's TweenLite. Doing so means that you cannot use the -library-path argument as it only work with .swc files. Instead of this use -source-path to successfully add a whole directory to be compiled into your SWF.

PLAIN TEXT

XML:

1. <arg value="-source-path=/Users/marvin/libs/greensock-as3" />

This way you can use it in an AIR build as well and you do not have to replace your directory based libraries with SWC files.

   NICE! This was exactly what I was looking for! I already started a comment conversation with Karl Freeman from flashlounge.net about this.

   The only way i could compile external libs was either copy them in my src folder (which i thought was not efficient) or compile my libs as swcs (which i was doing right now :) )

   So thank you for this!
