Using SWC libraries - devboy/buildr_as3 GitHub Wiki

Buildr-as3 makes it really easy to link against swc libraries when compiling your project. Let's say we want to tween something using the TweenMax tweening-library by greensock. Download the greensock.swc and put it inside a directory of your project. I chose lib/main/as3/swcs as the directory for my swc-files.

We start with the buildfile from Compiling a SWF, where we need to add our greensock.swc as dependency. We are going to use the compile.with method to add our swc:

compile.with _(:lib,:main,:as3,:swcs,"greensock.swc")

Our buildfile should now look like this:

require "buildr/as3"

define "UsingSWCLibraries" do

  compile.using :mxmlc,
                :flexsdk => FlexSDK.new("4.5.0.20967"),
                :main => _(:source, :main, :as3, "Main.as")

  compile.with _(:lib,:main,:as3,:swcs,"greensock.swc")

end

If you want to add a directory containing swc-files as a dependency, you can do that in the exact same way and buildr-as3 will figure it out. So referencing the directory containing our swc will work as well:

compile.with _(:lib,:main,:as3,:swcs)

Here you'll find the example project.
