Thanks for the additional information Roger!

I didn’t know about the += feature for overlaying config files. This will be really useful as I end up using 90% of the same settings as the defaults with exception of my compc config files which tend to get a little more involved to create.

The append attribute is also a nice trick. Thanks!

The auto load feature is something new to me as well. Until now I have been loading my config files with the –load-config attribute.

These all some great tricks and will definitely make things a little more organized and a lot cleaner when working with the config files for me!

You can also use "mxmlc -dump-config=mycfg.xml -otheroptions..." to build a starter config file.  In general, you'll then want to edit it down to the bare minimum settings you need.

I somehow overlooked to have "dump-config" enabled on compc (will put this into a dot release) but the config files are pretty much identical (+/- the compc-specific values that you can find out about via compc -help as Renaun says below).

You'll then generally want to use "mxmlc -load-config+=mycfg.xml" to compile.  Note the "+=", which says "don't nuke the existing default value of load-config (which points to the flex-config.xml file) just overlay these settings on top".

Inside your config file, you can do the same sort of operation as += via the (undocumented?) "append" attribute:

<library-path append="true">

  <path-element>mylib.swc</path-element>

</library-path>

Of course, you can also use these config files by naming them myapp-config.xml (where myapp is the name of your mxml/as application) and have them automatically loaded:

Given

myapp-config.xml

myapp.mxml

mxmlc myapp.mxml

will automatically load myapp-config.xml as if it were -load-config+=myapp-config.xml

Enjoy,

-rg

Have you tried:

mxmlc -help list
mxmlc -help advanced
mxmlc -help syntax
mxmlc -help aliases
mxmlc -help details

You can find alot of information from the executables themselves.
