FlashDevelop — Specify an HXML file?

Question

[a continuation of this question]

In order to embed resources in a SWF file, I have to add lines to my HXML file. However, since I'm using FlashDevelop, I don't know where to find that. Where should I put stuff I would ordinarily specify in my HXML?

Answer 1

There's more detailed help about the projects settings you need in the Haxe wiki.

You can use a custom .hxml file to build your project in FlashDevelop. Go to Project -> Properties.... Choose Custom Build as compilation target. Go to the Build tab and insert the following line in the Pre-Build Command Line field (assuming you named your build configuration compile.hxml and placed it in the root of the project directory):

$(CompilerPath)\haxe.exe $(ProjectDir)\compile.hxml

Answer 2

At least in the case of specifying resources, you can do this by specifying a command line argument (right click the project in the Project view, select Properties..., then click Compiler Options > Additional Compiler Options and add it there).
