Need to run custom scripts before compiling/building.

Question

Hi,

I am creating an AIR app. In this app there's a need to copy a folder from a fixed known localtion C:\xyz to app:/. I would like to know how can I do this copying before compilation/build so that they get packaged when I run the 'Export Release Build'.

Thanks guys in advance... :)

Answer 1

you can copy your c:\xyz folder inside the /src folder of the project. That way it will always be placed inside the bin-debug folder when debugging :) and will be included into the release build.

Answer 2

Maybe you should have a look at the ant tasks for compiling your application: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf678b2-8000.html
