Asdocs seems unable to find embedded assets.

Question

I'm running asdocs from a .bat file with flex sdk 3.2.0 (I have replaced my long project root folder with PROJECTROOT):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\bin\asdoc" -source-path . "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0" "_PROJECTROOT_\Components\src" "C:\_PROJECTROOT_\assets" -doc-sources .
PAUSE"

Unforunately, I keep getting errors similar to this:

"_PROJECTROOT_\assets\styles.css(344): Error: Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet - can't resolve source 'Embed(source = "close_button.png")'.

downSkin: Embed(source="close_button.png");"

I really don't understand this as "close_button.png" is in the same folder as styles.css. When I build the project from within flexbuilder, it compiles it fine and does not throw any errors.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

It's not using your folder with the CSS as the root folder when it's working. It's looking for the assets in the folder you are running the commands from.

Try adding the assets folder to your source path.
