Command line compilation.

For command line compilation we use the command mxmlc.

The steps to be followed mentioned below.

Step 1: Open command prompt window.

Step 2: Go to the Flex SDK Path. 
             (for e.g.: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Builder4\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.0.0\bin).

Step 3: Execute the command ‘mxmlc {Flex local folder path}\src\Sample.mxml’.

             (Sample {Flex local folder path} = D:\FlashBuilder_4_workspace\SampleProject).

Command line compilation - Normal Case.

If we need to include the resource bundle the execution command is as follows

    {Flex SDK Path}>mxmlc  -locale=en_US,fr_FR -include-resource-bundles
                                  resources -source-path={Flex local folder path}\locale\{locale} 
                                  {Flex local folder path}\src\Sample.mxml

•  ‘-locale=en_US,fr_FR -include-resource-bundles resources’                            This string from varies according to the project.
•   This string can accessed from the properties of current project.

Current project property selection.

•            Then select the option ‘Flex Compiler’.

•             Then copy the contents in the text box named                                                                 ‘Additional compiler  arguments’.

Command line compilation - including Resource Bundle.

If we need to include external libraries the execution command is as follows

          {Flex SDK Path}>mxmlc -locale=en_US,fr_FR 
                                        -include-resource-bundles resources 
                                        -source-path={Flex local folder path}\locale\{locale} 
                                        library-path+={Flex local folder path}\libs\externalLibrary.swc
                                        {Flex local folder path}\src\Sample.mxml

•       Normally we include external libraries in ‘lib’ folder.

Command line compilation - including Resource Bundle & External Libraries.

To know the current version of flex sdk , the following command to be executed.

          {Flex SDK Path}>mxmlc -version
         

          Sample result: Version 4.0.0 build 14159
