But we launch flash directly from Ant instead of requiring python, using the open command on the Mac which on Leopard has flags for using the already opened instance of Flash or starting a new one, as well as making flash open below everything so it doesn't steal focus as you're doing something else. We support Windows too since a lot of our contractors use it as well as our clients, but on windows we had a hard time getting the Windows open command to work on files with spaces in them through Ant's exec task. So we ended up specifying the temporary jsfl file as the command to launch Flash on windows. We did something similar in our office.

That way the generated swf file opens in case that you need a similar functionality as in "Publish Preview" Hi, maybe should be useful to add these lines:
shellCommand = “open \”" + outputPath + “\”"
os.system(shellCommand)

To the Mike Chambers Phyton file. That way the generated swf file opens in case that you need a similar functionality as in “Publish Preview”
