I downloaded your flex project and tried to run it on a mac but when I launch the Publish command it switches to Flash (cs4) but doesnt launch it.

Also the Document Class for main.fla doesnt match up with Main.as…

Thanks!

Why are you using the tag?

Yeah, it’s about the back slashes – in javascript they’ll be interpreted as special characters (like \t for tab or \r for carriage return). Try adding two backslashes (\\ will become \): C:\\Users\\Mirko\\workspace\\Flex\\HelloWorld\\HelloWorld.fla

That should do the trick. I’m not sure though about the command line stuff in windows – wether it behaves the same as in OS X (which after all is a unix system).

Let us know if you’re lucky – I’m sure there are other win users trying to achieve this.

I think i found what’s causing the problem, it seams to be ‘path’ related. If i just display the value of the ${fla.path} ant variable i get the correct path:

${fla.path}

displays in my example:

C:\Users\Mirko\workspace\Flex\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.fla

which is correct,but in the jsfl part:

var sourceFile = “#FLA#”;

if i trace the sourceFile value:

fl.trace(sourceFile);

i get the following malformed (without ‘\’) path:

C:UsersMirkoworkspaceFlexHelloWorldHelloWorld.fla

So i am not sure why this happens :/ I am using FB 3 and Flash CS4 IDE on Vista OS. Any ideas?

That means the file build.jsfl can’t be found. My only spontaneous idea would be that it’s already been removed, or never been written (though in the last case you should have gotten an error at the concat command). Is this reproducable, does it happen every time?

Hi,

I tried running the example build file with ant but got the following error:

CreateProcess: open build.jsfl error=2

Any idea what might be wrong?

thanks
