Exporting release build - Flex through Intellij Idea

Question

How do I generate release build of my Flex Application
through IntelliJ Idea, like I do in Flex Builder?

Answer 1

Does IntelliJ support Ant? Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but you could use the Flex Ant Tasks to build outside of FB.

Answer 2

1. Right click on any project and select module setting.
2. Select tab "Flex compiler setting"
3. Last field on this tab is "Additional compiler options:" add "-debug=false" without double quotes to it.
4. Do this for all the subprojects. (From this form only you can choose different projects).
5. do a project Rebuild and you will get a smaller swf.

Only problem is you need to keep separate project files for debug and release build, but thats ok, as you release builds are done rarely.
