Yes, it would be great if it could work with Flash CS5!!

Love this. I would also vote for CS5 support.

The other thing which would be very useful is the ability to open (or refresh and give focus to) a specified HTML page once the publishing is complete. Often I need to preview the Flash in the browser, since it relies on flashvars or ExternalInterface etc.

Thanks, great work.

[...] Fuel Ant Tasks After seeing Julian Dolce’s FOTB Jam Throwdown last year I’ve been using his Fuel Ant Tasks whenever I’ve needed to utilize the Flash IDE in any of my projects. The Ant script file is easy to set up and guaranteed will save you time with its ability to publish out whole folders of flas in the background while you carry on with stuff. So if your ever in painful station of having multiple fla dependencies with you project, this should be a lifesaver. [...]

Glad to see someone using the ant task concept, btw I’ve got some other stuff I’ve been working on I may post soon. Been really busy lately. Love what you all have done with the code though!!

Julian,
This is a really useful set of tools. I was wondering if there was any plans on adding support for CS5? I tried running it with CS5 but obviously it’s not working.

Also, is there any possibility of giving focus to the Flash IDE/SWF that gets compiled when the ant task runs? From my tests, I saw the output in my console in FDT but had to manually alt+tab over to Flash IDE to see the compiled SWF.

Thanks for your work.

Matt

This fills a HUGE gap in the Flash workflow! Thanks very much for making this available!

Is there any way I can use Ant succesfully to publish a Flash CS3 .fla to flash Player 10 (… I have replaced the playerglobal .swc to target 10 – and that sorta works when I publish out of Flash CS3, in that I can publish to 10, and most .fla’s will run ok – but the Vector class doesn’t seem to work… nor does SliderEvent, it seems.)

Here’s hoping…

This has been a lifesaver on a recent project I’m working on, must of saved at least half an hour a day. Thanks!!

Thanks Julian. I’m actually only interested in the buildcommand, not the compilers. Saw your presentation at FOTB, hence the inspiration..

I’ve already got TortoiseSVN, can you see any way to integrate with that instead?

Thanks for the link, I’ll install svn and will see what happens.

@Nils

If you just want to just use the compiling features of the tasks then you don’t have to worry about the buildnumbercommand.

But if you want to use the buildnumber command you need to make sure that you have the svn binaries installed on your machine.

Try installing the command line tool from here

Hope that helps.
