Contrast this option with the To link one or more classes whether or not they are used and not an entire SWC file, use the This option is commonly used to specify resource bundles. |
includes class [...] |
Links one or more classes to the resulting application SWF file, whether or not those classes are required at compile time. To link an entire SWC file rather than individual classes, use the |
incremental=true|false |
Enables incremental compilation. For more information, see About incremental compilation. This option is |
keep-generated-actionscript=true|false |
Determines whether to keep the generated ActionScript class files. The generated class files include stubs and classes that are generated by the compiler and used to build the SWF file. The default location of the files is the /generated subdirectory, which is directly below the target MXML file. If the /generated directory does not exist, the compiler creates one. The default names of the primary generated class files are filename-generated.as and filename-interface.as. The default value is This is an advanced option. |

The default value of the To point to individual classes or packages rather than entire SWC files, use the If you set the value of the You can use the += operator to append the new argument to the list of existing SWC files. In a configuration file, you can set the append attribute of the |
link-report filename |
Prints linking information to the specified output file. This file is an XML file that contains The file format output by this command can be used to write a file for input to the load-externs option. For more information on the report, see Examining linker dependencies. This is an advanced option. |
load-config filename |
Specifies the location of the configuration file that defines compiler options. If you specify a configuration file, you can override individual options by setting them on the command line. All relative paths in the configuration file are relative to the location of the configuration file itself. Use the For more information on using configuration files to provide options to the command-line compilers, see About configuration files. |
load-externs filename [...] |
Specifies the location of an XML file that contains This option provides compile-time link checking for external components that are dynamically linked. For more information about dynamic linking, see About linking. This is an advanced option. |

You run the mxmlc compiler multiple times to create SWF files for more than one locale, with only the You must also include the parent directory of the individual locale directories, plus the token mxmlc -locale en_EN -source-path locale/{locale} -file-specs MainApp.mxml For more information, see Localizing Flex Applicationsin Flex 2 Developer's Guide. |

optimize=true|false |
Enables the ActionScript optimizer. This optimizer reduces file size and increases performance by optimizing the SWF file's bytecode. The default value is |
output filename |
Specifies the output path and filename for the resulting file. If you omit this option, the compiler saves the SWF file to the directory where the target file is located. The default SWF filename matches the target filename, but with a SWF file extension. If you use a relative path to define the filename, it is always relative to the current working directory, not the target MXML application root. The compiler creates extra directories based on the specified filename if those directories are not present. When using this option with the component compiler, the output is a SWC file rather than a SWF file. |
publisher name |
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files. |

You specify the location of the SWF file relative to the deployment location of the application. For example, if you store a file named library.swf file in the web_root/libraries directory on the web server, and the application in the web root, you specify libraries/library.swf. For more information about RSLs, see Using Runtime Shared Libraries. |

Shows deprecation warnings for Flex components. To see warnings for ActionScript classes, use the The default value is For more information about viewing warnings and errors, see Viewing warnings and errors. |
source-path path-element [...] |
Adds directories or files to the source path. The Flex compiler searches directories in the source path for MXML or AS source files that are used in your Flex applications and includes those that are required at compile time. You can use wildcards to include all files and subdirectories of a directory. To link an entire library SWC file and not individual classes or directories, use the The source path is also used as the search path for the component compiler's You can also use the += operator to append the new argument to the list of existing source path entries. |
