Do you know how to pass an arbitrary parameter from ANT to jsfl? It would be convenient to have ANT provide a layer of indirection so I could keep my various jsfl files more reusable. So for instance: Great series! Hi Peng. Do you know how to pass an arbitrary parameter from ANT to jsfl?

I would recommend that you copy the Flex sdk directory to a path such as C:\\flex_sdk_3 and point Ant to that. Ant has problems referencing paths that contain space characters.

It's not quite feature complete, but I'm getting back to working on it finally and hope to be adding lots of new features soon. It's main advantage is that it lets you specify your publish settings from within Ant, allowing you to setup different targets that will publish the FLA with different settings - most of which can't be done easily via JSFL as most publish settings are not accessible via JSFL. For instance one target for publishing in your normal workflow, and another target for release builds that have debug set to off, are protected, and use higher JPEG compression (without ever having to change these settings in the FLA). This is especially handy for continuous integration environments. It's also cross-platform (Mac & PC). Here's an example of it's use: http://code.google.com/p/fluant/wiki/HowTo_Publish_A_SWF Hope you find it helpful! You may want to check out Fluant for publishing FLAs from Ant.
