list of mxmlc/compc arguments

August 9th, 2006 中文

Have you ever tried to figure out all the configuration parameters of mxmlc?

Well there is a lot of information inside the mxmlc itself. You can actually list all the simple and advanced command line arguments that are available. It even gives you power to search across multiple sets of lists to get speciifc information about your search terms. Lets take a more in depth look.
You start by running:

You should see:

From here you can run the help on specific keywords or upon the special keywords. You'll see the special keywords defined as syntax, list, advanced, aliases, and details.

Here is my quick search for "theme"

You can list and search through all the mxml arguments to find what you are looking for, this is much better then livedocs, hehe...

I am going to list all the arguments from the simple and more advanced special keywords to have a running list of arguments. The items in bold are found in the mxmlc -advanced list but not in the livedocs.
