Sample NAnt build script

Here is a sample NAnt build script for your flex projects. I have this building a project that has the ESRI Flex API in it so it should be a simple installation. I will explain to make it easier.

Here is the script

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <project name="FV2" default="build" basedir=".">
    <target name="build">
  <echo message=""/>
  <exec program="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.0.0\bin\mxmlc.exe" basedir="${project::get-base-directory()}\src">
  <arg value="${project::get-base-directory()}\src\index.mxml"/>
  <arg value="-library-path+=${project::get-base-directory()}\libs\agslib-2.1-2010-09-17.swc" />
  <arg value="-locale=en_US" />
  <arg value="-source-path=locale/en_US" />
  <arg value="-keep-all-type-selectors=true" />
  </exec>
    </target>
  </project>

Change the path in this line to reflect your environment

<exec program="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.0.0\bin\mxmlc.exe"

This line assumes your ESRI Flex swc is in the lib folder of your project. If it is not.... change it accordingly

<arg value="-library-path+=${project::get-base-directory()}\libs\agslib-2.1-2010-09-17.swc" />

Change these if you need to... should be self explanatory

<arg value="-locale=en_US" />
<arg value="-source-path=locale/en_US" />

Specifying the locale folder is used for finding ViewerStrings.properties file.

Resources that may be of assistance:

Unable to Resolve errors - You may run into a ton of reference errors. The compiler may have trouble finding the assets folder. Try this. I added the '/' to the beginning of the paths and then found this URL that solidified other people were doing the same.

If you run into problems let me know....

Edit:
Also... if you are interested in localizing flex applications with Ant (non NAnt) then try this link... Seems handy...
