OpenFL 1.1 fix #4

Closed jgranick closed 11 years ago

jgranick commented 11 years ago

In OpenFL 1.1 (which we plan to release soon), we have been trying to improve support for swappable backends. Currently, you can use (target name)-backend to define what is loaded, instead of the default. For example:

<set name="html5-backend" value="openfl-bitfive" />
<haxelib name="openfl" />

When you define "html5-backend", the library is loaded in place of "openfl-html5", so I needed to fix the ApplicationMain so it would not require an "openfl_html5" define, and did a little cleanup, since the ApplicationMain will always be used with your library.

This can be done on the command-line as well, for any project:

openfl test html5 -Dhtml5-backend=openfl-bitfive

This should be a step forward, but we're open to input to make it even more comfortable.

As an alternative approach, I added the "html5-backend" define to the include.xml file, so a user can include it like this as well:

<haxelib name="openfl-bitfive" if="html5" />
<haxelib name="openfl" />

(the order is important)

Have a great day!

Thanks! I recall having issues with Assets class when I first tried to use include.xml flags... probably had to do with this.
