Unfortunately, I just looked and I can’t find the script anymore. Sorry about that.

I’m currently using #2 above. Did you ever find out if you could publish your Perl script?
Thanks

Would the ResourceManager provide a similar facility to what you are doing above?

Your solution seems very elegant, however my embedded object are in mxml files with source=”@embed…”, that’s slightly different than in your examlpe. I can’t get the style sheet to work correctly. Could you please e-mail me an example of a style sheet and how it correspond to the embedded objects, or post it on the blog.
Thanks

Try to put this arguments on Project->Properties->Flex Compiler options panel.

Where is: -locale en_US

Write: -locale en_US incremental=true -keep=true

It increases a little the building/compilling speed.

Also you may consider right clicking your flex project in Flex Builder 3 Beta 2 and choosing Properties > Flex Compiler. Then UNCHECK the box that says – “Copy non-embedded files to output directory”. from my experience in FlexBuilder 3 beta 2 this drastically increased my compile time. It’s just way too much to add every sub folder etc… when all you NEED is your embedded assets. I realize the module issue works but may also become tedious at times. Also Symbolic links to bin Directory works pretty good too for runtime assets. Anyways my 2 cents yo.

Hey, neat, look at that … runtime css swfs. Learn something new everyday.

It certainly does look like it would cover option #1. We combined both options into a single module so we’ll probably just leave ours but that does seem like an easier solution.

Would creating a runtime CSS SWF accomplish the same thing as option 1? Why not use that method over creating a Module SWF?

Great solution, well done Marc!
