[Papervision3D] FlashDevelop - Papervision Template

Thu Mar 22 04:29:45 EST 2007

David's right, the @mxmlc command is quicker (especially for large apps -
PaperWorld is closing in on the 400 class mark now - and it takes less than
10 seconds to compile with the @mxmlc tag, around 20 with Ant - and the
Adobe AS3 preview takes several minutes!) - I really need to get my head
around the new exclude mechanism!

But, if you're not familiar with Ant already and you're planning on doing a
lot of AS3 work then i strongly recommend you investigate it. It's not just
for compiling but will run any program and manipulate it once open, will
move, copy, open files, append, remove, delete from an opened file - rename
things, the list is endless and if you know a little Java you can easily
write your own tasks to extend it's functionality - we swear by it at work
and i use it at home a lot now, PaperWorld will rely heavily on it for
compiling and deploying.

You can run Ant targets directly from Eclipse, too, so i'm guessing there's
something similar in the Flex IDE.
