Feature request: Merge SWC files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would it be terribly complicated to add a new feature to Apparat that is able 
to merge two or more swc files into one?
I've been googling around a bit and there doesn't seem to be any tools out 
there capable of doing so.

The functionality would be similar to ILMerge for .NET: 
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/mergingassemblies.aspx

I guess the merging would have to take into account classes that appear in 
multiple swc's, so it's not just a matter of merging the all of the ABC files.

Would this be feasible, and would you consider adding this?

Thanks for your time!

cheers,

Roland Zwaga

Hi Roland,

what about the reducer tool which can already merge ABC files inside a single 
SWC. In fact you can use the exact same code to build a small script which 
merges multiple SWC files into one.

Does that work for you?

Hey Joa,

aha, I wasn't aware of this reducer functionality, I'll give it a shot when I 
find the time. Thanks for the tip!

cheers,

Roland

I am interested in this feature too but don't see the doc on reducer.  Do you 
have an example of script that merges multiple SWC into one?  Thanks!

Perhaps it would be useful for someone. 
compc from FlexSDK(4.5) with option "-compiler.include-libraries" already can 
merge swc files.
Example:
   compc -compiler.include-libraries=MonsterDebugger-2.5.1.swc,robotlegs-framework-1.3.0.swc -o lib.swc
Good luck!
