AW: AW: [Falcon] Declaring defines in config xml doesn't seem to work

[Christofer Dutz]

Hi Alex,


you were right ... the strange thing was that I looked at your "this instead of 
that" and couldn't notice the difference. Had to look at it 3 or 4 times to 
notice the missing "3" ... gee ... I seem to be blind for the details.


Just to quote a German saying: "As soon as you start doing it right, it starts 
working" ;-)


I also added the -include-lookup-only to the config options of the maven plugin 
and now the Flat project also produces the correct output in the catalog.xml.


Now I'm down to some examples not compiling ... but I'll try to sort this out 
on my own first ...


Chris

Well, could it be that you have:
COMPILE::AS

instead of:

COMPILE::AS3

Nice.

This should make things much easier. Good direction!

Yeah, I didn't notice it right away either.  FWIW, I've thought about
replacing COMPILE::AS3 with COMPILE::SWF since all the code is really AS3
and the flag maybe should dictate the output.  And then it would also
cause fewer folks to miss the '3'.  Thoughts?

Thanks.  There are some limitations because the naming scheme is
one-dimensional.  For example, I did not create a cordova-config.xml
because you might actually use Jquery as the UI framework in a Cordova app
and/or Google Maps in the same app and then we'd need every combination of
configname (jquery-cordova-googlemaps-config.xml)

Also, it occurred to me that now that we have named configs, we can
re-think some of how the externs SWCs are configured.  For example, the
node-config.xml references js.swc, but I'm now wondering if we should
break out the browser APIs from js.swc into a browser.swc so anyone doing
node work won't be offered Window/Document/MouseEvent in the
code-assistance.  Then we can make such changes behind the named-configs
and affect fewer people.

Thoughts?

It occurred to me too that a separate SWC for browser APIs would make
sense, since Node should only need a subset of JS types from js.swc. I
think it's a good idea.

Is it possible to use local config files? So using your example, we could
create a ../src/jquery-cordova-googlemaps-config.xml config in your project?

For sure. You can create bunches of -config.xml files and specify them
with -load-config, but you can only use +configname once.  And also, the
compiler automatically loads {project-name}-config.xml if there is one.

Re: [FLEXJS] Named Configs for JS, JQuery, Node, and CreateJS

[Josh Tynjala]

I didn't know about {project-name}-config.xml. That could be really useful.
{project-name} would be the name of the main class you pass to the compiler
right, so if I had HelloWorld.as, it would be HelloWorld-config.xml?

Yes.  In flex-sdk, in the frameworks/tests/basicTests folder is an example.

[FlexJS] Hello World

[Tom Dowdell]

Hi,

It's my first day using Builder, Flex and FlexJS -- I have zero experience
with Adobe development. Following the great instructions here (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Using+FlexJS+with+Adobe+Flash+Builder)
I was able to get "Hello World" running pretty quickly but am confused by
two things:

- When I launch the html in a browser it uses the flash plug-in. I saw this
in the html...not sure if related:
*"SWFObject's dynamic embed method replaces this alternative HTML content
with Flash content when enough *
* JavaScript and Flash plug-in support is available. The div is
initially hidden so that it doesn't show*
* when JavaScript is disabled." *

- Check out the error in the console window. Not sure what to do about it.

Any clarity you can provide would be appreciated.
