The mxmlc options that don't contribute SWCs to the compiler are ignored by swcdepends. The idea is you can substitute swcdepends for mxmlc on the command line without having to worry about removing options like metadata. So many options are ignored by swcdepends.

Hi and thanks for the links, this is somewhat helpful, but it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. These articles only cover some small subset of all options available to this utility, below is the full set: -benchmark -compiler.accessible -compiler.actionscript-file-encoding <string> -compiler.compress -compiler.context-root <context-path> -compiler.debug -compiler.enable-runtime-design-layers -compiler.extensions.extension [extension] [parameters] [...] -compiler.external-library-path [path-element] [...] -compiler.fonts.advanced-anti-aliasing -compiler.fonts.flash-type -compiler.fonts.max-glyphs-per-face <string> -compiler.include-libraries [library] [...] -compiler.incremental -compiler.library-path [path-element] [...] -compiler.locale [locale-element] [...] -compiler.minimum-supported-version <string> -compiler.mobile -compiler.mxml.compatibility-version <version> -compiler.mxml.minimum-supported-version <string> -compiler.namespaces.namespace [uri] [manifest] [...] -compiler.omit-trace-statements -compiler.optimize -compiler.preloader <string> -compiler.report-invalid-styles-as-warnings -compiler.services <filename> -compiler.show-actionscript-warnings -compiler.show-binding-warnings -compiler.show-invalid-css-property-warnings -compiler.show-shadowed-device-font-warnings -compiler.show-unused-type-selector-warnings -compiler.source-path [path-element] [...] -compiler.strict -compiler.theme [filename] [...] -compiler.use-resource-bundle-metadata -compiler.verbose-stacktraces -dependency.minimize-dependency-set -dependency.show-external-classes -dependency.show-swcs [swc-name] [...] -dependency.show-types -dependency.types [type] [...] -framework <string> -help [keyword] [...] -include-resource-bundles [bundle] [...] -licenses.license <product> <serial-number> -load-config <filename> -metadata.contributor <name> -metadata.creator <name> -metadata.date <text> -metadata.description <text> -metadata.language <code> -metadata.localized-description <text> <lang> -metadata.localized-title <title> <lang> -metadata.publisher <name> -metadata.title <text> -output <filename> -runtime-shared-libraries [url] [...] -runtime-shared-library-path [path-element] [rsl-url] [policy-file-url] [rsl-url] [policy-file-url] -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries -swf-version <int> -target-player <version> -tools-locale <string> -use-direct-blit -use-gpu -use-network -version -warnings There are a lot of options that aren't even applicable to SWCs, like, for example, all the metadata group. The descriptions for these properties are copy-and-paste from mxmlc/compc documentation. So, I don't know what to think. Best. Oleg
