Thank you very much for your example about custom compiler options.

Do you have any idea about this similar question: how can I insert the current date/time as a compiler option?

E.g. how to insert the contents of the %date% or %time% variable in Windows. This would help me to automatically have a version information in the .swf file like “Compiled: date, time”. Thank you very much!

Is there a way to customize the default application file that gets created when you create a new project? For instance, if for every future project I create I’d like to have some custom comments or Application properties (additional namespaces, height, width etc. set to particular defaults ) generated along with the usual look and feel of the Application tag in an initially generated file in the ide (either Flex 3 or Flash Builder) and/or when a New Application menu item is selected?

Third time is the charm…

report.xml

Lol. I guess I should read the big red sign before posting! Let’s try that again…

<default-size>
<width>400</width>
<height>400</height>
</default-size>

Are you sure this is working? If I add

400
400

it has no effect. I’ve also tried:

report.xml

and no file is generated. Of course, if I add these options to the project properties, it works.
Am I missing something?

Well the pre tags didn’t work — the code that wouldn’t compile is:

xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”
xmlns:degrafa=”http://www.degrafa.com/2007″
xmlns:geometry=”com.degrafa.geometry.*”>

I wanted to share a few observations relative to the 3.4 sdk and the Eclipse plugin of Flex Builder 3 (Mac OS X) –

Apparently a variant of this bug: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-21156 — “Library Project namespaces should be appended by default” exists in this environment. In particular, when using degrafa within a “Flex Library Project” rather than a regular “Flex Project” the following would not compile:

It generated a “Could not resolve to a component implementation. ” error.

Explicitly including the library in a config file, as per your example, fixed the problem. However, I had to include the full rooted path to the config file in the Project Properties Library Compiler settings, as follows:

-load-config+=/Users/username/Documents/workspace/projectname/src/config.xml

Also, since the file was in src, the library file had to be specified in the config.xml as:

../libs/DegrafaLibrary.swc

Shared in the interest of Google helping the next poor soul who hits this problem — and to offer another motivation for using this technique.

chaitra,

Make sure you have a assets/ARIAL.TTF in your project. Also, if you are using Mac or Linux, the filenames will be case sensitive, so make make sure that the file name is ARIAL.TTF (uppercase), or change the code to match whatever case the font name is on your machine.

Hi Peter,

This really very good example but when i am trying the same example in my Flex builder Workspace its throwing an error like “unable to resolve ‘assets/ARIAL.TTF’ for transcoding” please give me a suggestion on this issue.

Thanks in advance,
Chaitra H.
