   Cool Script Grant!

   I think it´s time for me to read in a little bit in JSFL – looks pretty useful..=)

   Just one question:

   Shouldn´t this line

   if (schemaURI.substr(schemaURI.length-5) == “.txt”) { alert(“>> ERROR: Selected schema is not a .txt file.”); return; }

   be

   if (schemaURI.substr(schemaURI.length-4) != “.txt”) { alert(“>> ERROR: Selected schema is not a .txt file.”); return; }

   A made a little enhancement, but actually it´s just for windows user:

   If the folder, which are specified don´t exit they are created.

   …

   function move(p_file,p_newName,p_fileName) {

   // delete old already compiled swf:

   FLfile.remove(p_newName);

   var ok = checkDirectories(p_newName);

   …

   function checkDirectories(filePath) {

   // check the first characters containing partition information

   var part = filePath.substr(0,10);

   // if partition doesn´t exists

   if(!FLfile.exists(part)) {

   appendToLog(“>> ERROR: partition (“+part+”) doesn´t exist.”);

   return false

   }

   //seperate directories

   var arr = filePath.split(“/”);

   var l = arr.length-1;

   for(i=4;i> ERROR: created directory (“+part+”) because it doesn´t exist.”);

   FLfile.createFolder(part);

   }

   }

   return true;

   }

   We are also having problems now running the script. I had previously used this without incident, but I had provided this to a co-worker and he is unable to get it to run. getting the following message as previous post, “ReferenceError: FLfile is not defined”. Any help or suggestion greatly appreciated, this is a great script and had previously helped me out tremendously, but can’t see why it no longer runs.

   Kurt: This extension requires the 7.2 update found at http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/downloads.html

    Grant,

    I’m testing your JSFL batch compiler and ran into a couple issues. First, I get “Running compile on undefined files at…” It says undefined because you have startLog(“Running…” +l+ “…”); before var l is defined.

    Second, if you are placing your SWFs in a different location than the FLA the line if (!FLfile.exists(dirURI+swfName)) will append “>> ERROR: File did not compile correctly: ” even if it compiled correctly. Without testing I believe

    var swfName = flaName.substr(0,flaName.lastIndexOf(“.”)+1)+”swf”;

    should be

    var swfName = (row[1] != undefined) ? row[1] : flaName.substr(0,flaName.lastIndexOf(“.”)+1)+”swf”;

    What you’ve done here is a godsend. Thanks!

    Really nice work Grant!

    I’m running into couple of issues with this script running on Flash 8.

    First of 1 question: has anyone attempted the last change by Chris suggested above when placing the SWF’s in a different location

    2nd: I’m running into issues batch compiling 100’s of files (if not 1000’s) & i get a pop up “While executing in , a JavaScript error occured”.

    And the output window shows a message “Cannot find file file:///…..xxx.fla”

    I have confirmed that the file does exist. I can open the file in Flash 8 & publish it manually without any issues.

    The publish profile error can be resolved by simply changing row[1] to row[2] in the call to compile function.

    row[1] corresponds to the swf file, row[2] contains the publish profile info.

    See snippet below to get the idea

    .

    .

    if (!FLfile.exists(dirURI+flaName)) { appendToLog(“>> ERROR: FLA not found: “+flaName); error=true; continue; }

    compile(dirURI+flaName,row[2],flaName);

    .

    .

    Also you can add custom publish profile by importing them in jsfl see snippet below for usage

    .

    . doc.importPublishProfile(“file:///C:/Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/Configuration/Publish Profiles/flash7.xml”);

    doc.currentPublishProfile = p_profile;

    if (doc.currentPublishProfile != p_profile) { appendToLog(“>> ERROR: Could not set publish profile (“+p_profile+”): “+p_fileName); error=true; }

    }

    .

    .

    With CS4 (may be CS3 as well), the compilation errors are not shown in Output panel. Use fl.compilerErrors to access compilation error in these versions.

    BTW, I was wondering if there was a neat way to find if I should use fl.outputPanel or fl.compilerErrors (in other words how do I find if its FlashMX/8 or CS3/4)?

    [Currently I am checking if(fl.compilerErrors){}else{}]
