Hi,

My question is whether or not Flex's mxmlc can be called from within a PHP
script. Here is the background:

I have been created a simple process that creates a simple quiz/tutorial by
converting a text file into a .as file and compiling to a .swf file using
the mxmlc compiler. This works well from the command line, but I wanted to
make the process easier by creating a web-interface to do this.  I have not
been able to get the mxmlc compiler to work.

After searching on the Web and on this site, I believe that using fcsh
(instead of mxmlc) may be the way to go. Using fcsh would certainly compile
the .mxml file faster (after the first run), and I think that fcsh can be
launched as a service that might be able to be called from PHP.

On the other hand, maybe I am approaching this the wrong way. Would it be
better to write a Flex application that calls fcsh/mxmlc and avoid using
PHP?

Thanks

Kanu kukrejA
