Flash Builder 'building' html files...

Question

I'm using Flash Builder 3 to edit my Flex app, but I noticed that every time I make a change on the .html files (index.template.html for example), even if it's not in the IDE but with another program, Flash Builder rebuilds the whole project.

Is there anyway to stop this? Why would it need to rebuild the workspace everytime a html file changes?

If it was too long it wouldn't bother me, but it takes a lot of time (more than 1 minute) every time. For your information the html file is 95 lines of 'code'.

Thanks

Answer 1

In the main application menu, make sure Project->Build Automatically is unchecked. That will stop it from automatically rebuilding your project every time a file changes.

Answer 2

Looks like it's the HTMLWrapper that takes a long time for compiling.

If you encounter the same problem, you can deactivate the wrapper generation in the compiler option.

Answer 3

Ive written a short article about how to edit index.template.html so that your swf will centre on the page similar to Flashdevelop centering. You might find that useful, I wrote it mainly to explain to myself and the technique works fine.
