I noticed that the resulting swf file of an mxmlc compilation is missing classes that are not used but still given to the compiler via the -source-path option.

How can this be avoided?

Also, how does the compiler find out which classes are not used?

If you want the unused classes to be included, using an import on those classes should be sufficient. Make sure you include the import in a class that is being used.

Add the compiler flag "link-report filename" generates a report to see what classes are included.

  • It is starting from the main source file. – Robin van den Bogaard Sep 24 '14 at 13:00
  • ok, but what if i want to use some classes with reflection? or what if i compile a library which has no main source file? – clamp Sep 24 '14 at 13:01
  • libraries get compiled not with mxmlc but with compc, this accepts a "include-classes" parameter to include all classes needed. – Robin van den Bogaard Sep 24 '14 at 13:03
  • intresting! i see compc.jar is only 476 bytes large. so i guess it is just starting mxmlc with special parameters. – clamp Sep 24 '14 at 13:08
