Cool Script Grant!

I think itīs time for me to read in a little bit in JSFL - looks pretty useful..=)
Just one question:

Shouldnīt this line

if (schemaURI.substr(schemaURI.length-5) == ".txt") { alert(">> ERROR: Selected schema is not a .txt file."); return; }

be

if (schemaURI.substr(schemaURI.length-4) != ".txt") { alert(">> ERROR: Selected schema is not a .txt file."); return; }

A made a little enhancement, but actually itīs just for windows user:

If the folder, which are specified donīt exit they are created.

...
function move(p_file,p_newName,p_fileName) {
// delete old already compiled swf:
FLfile.remove(p_newName);
var ok = checkDirectories(p_newName);
...

function checkDirectories(filePath) {
// check the first characters containing partition information
var part = filePath.substr(0,10);
// if partition doesnīt exists
if(!FLfile.exists(part)) {
appendToLog(">> ERROR: partition ("+part+") doesnīt exist.");
return false
}
//seperate directories
var arr = filePath.split("/");
var l = arr.length-1;
for(i=4;i> ERROR: created directory ("+part+") because it doesnīt exist.");
FLfile.createFolder(part);
}
}
return true;
}

We are also having problems now running the script. I had previously used this without incident, but I had provided this to a co-worker and he is unable to get it to run. getting the following message as previous post, "ReferenceError: FLfile is not defined". Any help or suggestion greatly appreciated, this is a great script and had previously helped me out tremendously, but can't see why it no longer runs.

Kurt: This extension requires the 7.2 update found at http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/downloads.html

Grant,

I'm testing your JSFL batch compiler and ran into a couple issues. First, I get "Running compile on undefined files at..." It says undefined because you have startLog("Running..." +l+ "..."); before var l is defined.

Second, if you are placing your SWFs in a different location than the FLA the line if (!FLfile.exists(dirURI+swfName)) will append ">> ERROR: File did not compile correctly: " even if it compiled correctly. Without testing I believe

var swfName = flaName.substr(0,flaName.lastIndexOf(".")+1)+"swf";

should be

var swfName = (row[1] != undefined) ? row[1] : flaName.substr(0,flaName.lastIndexOf(".")+1)+"swf";

What you've done here is a godsend. Thanks!

Really nice work Grant!
I'm running into couple of issues with this script running on Flash 8.
First of 1 question: has anyone attempted the last change by Chris suggested above when placing the SWF's in a different location

2nd: I'm running into issues batch compiling 100's of files (if not 1000's) & i get a pop up "While executing in , a JavaScript error occured".
And the output window shows a message "Cannot find file file:///.....xxx.fla"
I have confirmed that the file does exist. I can open the file in Flash 8 & publish it manually without any issues.

The publish profile error can be resolved by simply changing row[1] to row[2] in the call to compile function.
row[1] corresponds to the swf file, row[2] contains the publish profile info.
See snippet below to get the idea
.
.
if (!FLfile.exists(dirURI+flaName)) { appendToLog(">> ERROR: FLA not found: "+flaName); error=true; continue; }
compile(dirURI+flaName,row[2],flaName);
.
.
Also you can add custom publish profile by importing them in jsfl see snippet below for usage
.
. doc.importPublishProfile("file:///C:/Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/Configuration/Publish Profiles/flash7.xml");
doc.currentPublishProfile = p_profile;
if (doc.currentPublishProfile != p_profile) { appendToLog(">> ERROR: Could not set publish profile ("+p_profile+"): "+p_fileName); error=true; }
}
.
.
