Compile through Flash IDE

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I know this is a huge request, that will take some valuable development time, 
but even having some way of pathing to the Flash IDE for compiling, so I can 
shift-enter in Moonshine which sends out.

Would literally replace Flash Develop if this would be featured.

Go Team.

I don't know how this is accomplished in other IDE's. Flash Builder can do 
this, and I think the Flash IDE has some connection going to Flash Builder too.

If you could provide technical details on how it's done I'm sure it's a fast 
thing to implement.

SNIP

Description
Method; publishes a FLA file without opening it. This API opens the FLA in a 
headless mode and publishes the SWF (or whatever the profile is set to). The 
second parameter (publishProfile) is optional. The return value is a boolean 
indicating if the profile was found or not. In the case where the second 
parameter is not supplied, the return value is always true.

Example
The following example prompts the user to select a FLA file and silently 
publishes it using the “Default” publish profile:

var uri = fl.browseForFileURL("select", "select a FLA file to publish"); 
var publishProfileName = "Default"; 
fl.publishDocument(uri, publishProfileName);

There is a bug filed in Adobe JIRA (login required) around this issue, which 
basically adds command line support to compile FLA files:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-13217

There is also Fluant, an Ant task, which seems to work for some people but I 
could not get to work reliably initially (and have rewritten large chunks). 
But, the author seems to have updated it since I first used it:

http://fluant.riaforge.org/

Fluant uses a basic structure which I'd use, which is to do the following:

1. Write a generalized JSFL file to the disk
2. Command to open Flash.exe, opening the JSFL file
2. Open the FLA with the JSFL file
3. Attach publish settings to the FLA with JSFL
4. Have the JSFL call the publish routine
5. Have the JSFL close out Flash when complete

If the core code is correctly written, the Ant task would be a thin wrapper to 
the core code, allowing the ability to have another thin wrapper which is a 
command line java program to do the same routine.

I've now added basic support for this (compiling).

It parses the errors yielded, if any, but it's not 100% solid that code.

The method is close to what you describe, it writes out a JSFL file & does 
file.openWithDefaultApplication() on it
Path-handing is a bit mac-only now, but that's easily fixed (if one has a 
windows machine at least).
