Hey George,

Try to use external-library-path …
-external-library-path=/Path/To/lib.swc

cheers Martin

Hello Martin,

This is a very helpful post. I don’t know how to use asdoc at the moment, so I ran into trouble when documenting my current project.

I am using Flash Player 10 classes and did set the external-library-path so that’s fine. I am using MinimalComps(dependency) in my project so I’ve set -exclude-dependencies, but this causes an Error. It seems I cannot use both -ds/-doc-sources and -exclude-dependencies:

“Error: exclude-dependencies can not be used with doc-sources.”

My arguments look like this: -output ./doc -source-path ./src -library-path ./lib -main-title “${project_name}” -window-title “${project_name}” -external-library-path “/Applications/FDT/plugins/com.powerflasher.fdt.shippedFlexSDK4_4.0.0.14159_1000/flex/frameworks/libs/player/10.0/playerglobal.swc” -exclude-dependencies -ds ./src

How can I generate the documentation ?

I’ve also tried using -doc-classes and adding the full class names, but I get another error:

oading configuration file /Applications/FDT/plugins/com.powerflasher.fdt.shippedFlexSDK4_4.0.0.14159_1000/flex/frameworks/flex-config.xml

Any hints ?

hey dan, the idea is actually quite nice. here you go:

Working Directory
${project_loc}

Arguments:
-doc-sources ./src -output ./doc -main-title “${project_name}” -window-title “${project_name}”

Now the docs of the selected project are getting built.

I haven’t tried it yet, but could this work? This way you could re-use the same tool on different projects, depending on which project you have currently selected.

-doc-sources ./src -output ./doc -main-title “${project_name} Documentation” -window-title “${project_name} Documentation”

I guess you have to add your swc file to the -doc-sources or -library-path

check out the docs for a complete list of arguments http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/asdoc_127_9.html#142061

Hi – My project has references to several movieClips set to export as classes in a swc file. When I try to build documentation using AsDoc I get several errors saying “Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant” or “Call to a possibly undefined method” for all the movieClip instances. The project compiles fine without any errors though.

Any suggestions on how to fix this AsDoc problem?
