Compiling a Flex project

Hi,

Do you have your flex compiler config out of project base dir?

Has any one been successful in compiling a flex project from within IDEA, not using Ant?

In the console, I end up with:

I have defined a compiler configuration file in the settings pane, but it does not appear to be used.

I generated a flex compiler config via:

mxmlc -dump-config

if my project basedir was 'foo', the config was 'foo/foo-config.xm'

in the configuration pane, however, the fully-qualified path to the config was there.. it wasn't a relative pathname.

(really, when compiling an application, the compiler configuration should ideally be optional. to compile from the command-line all i need is:

mxmlc -output /Users/osi/Sites/foo/foo.swf src/Foo.mxml
)

It is ok to have fully qualified config name in settings.
However, due to flex compiler shell limitation with fully qualified
pathes I need to pass relative path to flex config (and null indicates
there is no relative path from project base directory)
As to optionality of flex compiler config, I agree with you, it will be
that way.

aha! that might be it.. my directory structure is:

- project-root
- something
-- flex stuff

so relative to the project root, its ../something/flex stuff

however, the module root for the flex module is 'flex stuff', so it is safely relative to that.
