I don't know either how the forward slashes work somewhere and somewhere they don't, but good thing that it worked in FlashDevelop too. :) I'll try to remember to update the links and other outdated stuff in this post this weekend. Cheers, Joonas Glad I could help. I don’t know either how the forward slashes work somewhere and somewhere they don’t, but good thing that it worked in FlashDevelop too. :)

I'm new to Ant too, but much newer. :|D Last night I fixed those problems. It was as you said with the slashes to backslashes and the basedir. Still don't understand how the base dir works fine (with backslashes) with other paths like "${basedir}/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar". The "\" from the base dir work fine with the "/". Who knows... I'll have to read the manual! I use flashdevelop + the ant panel plugin, very easy to setup. Install Ant, set the path in the plugin's properties. Done. I'm very happy with the new workflow now. Thanks for the article! SP. Joonas,

Are you using a Windows or a Mac platform? Sorry but as this was my first ANT-task, I've not had a chance (or rather the skills) to thoroughly test it on different platforms. However, I found a bug in the build file, that might prevent it from compiling in Flash Builder. In the line 128 which reads <code><mapper type="glob" from="${TEMP_CLASS_PATH}/*.as" to="*"/></code> It should read <code><mapper type="glob" from="${basedir}/${TEMP_CLASS_PATH}/*.as" to="*"/></code> so you may need to add <code>${basedir}/</code> before the <code>${TEMP_CLASS_PATH}</code>. If you are on a Windows platform, you might also need to change '/' characters to '\' characters on line 117. (or better yet, use ${file.separator}). Let me know if either or both of those tricks worked for you or not. It seems that the link to installing the ant support also leads to a page not found, so I need to check and update this post as soon as I get back home... luckily my ANT skills have gotten better since writing this post, and I've also added the support for embedding SVG-files. Please stay tuned... :) Cheers, - Joonas Hi SP,

The pathconvert part is not generating the assetList correctly, it's just empty (echo after it). Could there be something wrong with the build file? I'm using ant-contrib ant all seems to work fine if I create the assetList property manually. Please help! I would be really great to be able to compile my assets like this! Hi,
