Flex Projects
Flex project (in Flex Builder)...
There are several types of projects that can be created via Flex Builder:
- Flex Web project - create .swf files that run in Flash Player
- Flex Desktop project - create .air files that run in Adobe AIR-Runtime
- Flex Library project - create .swc library files for use in other Flex projects
- --ActionScript project - (consult Flex documentation for more information)--
Flex Web Projects
Standard directories of a Flex Web project:
- bin-debug -
- bin-release - holds release builds and assets (not created until first release build)
- html-template - holds HTML and JavaScript template files
- libs - library directory for adding .swc files to the build path
- src - holds the source files (.mxml and .as)
Of course you can create and modify the directories...
Flex Desktop (AIR) Projects
Standard directories of a Flex Desktop project:
- bin-debug -
- bin-release - holds release builds and assets (not created until first release build)
- libs - library directory for adding .swc files to the build path
- src - holds the source files (.mxml and .as)
Flex Library Projects
Library projects can contain both code and assets. The result of building a Library project is not a launchable application, rather it is a .swc file that can be used in other Flex/ActionScript projects and applications.
Standard directories of a Flex Library project:
- bin - build directory where source files are compiled to
- ProjectName.swc
- src - holds the source files (.mxml and .as)
The project code is compiled into a .swc file (with the same name as the project) in the project's bin folder.
