Question on the assets

[marstonstudio]

Hello,

Thankyou for starting this project, as the lone Air developer on a
team filled with Ruby people, I'm excited to start using rake to
compile my air code.

I've run into a problem though, I seem to be unable to have any
embedded assets included. I have set the assets parameter in the
airake.yml file, but that doesn't appear to be picked up.

Using the default project generated by airake, I would expect the
mxmlc command line to include some reference to the files in src/
assets, but I don't see anything there. My generated project is called
AirTest:

rake compile (in /Users/jon/Workspace/AirTest)
rm /Users/jon/Workspace/AirTest/bin/AirTest.swf
>> Opened connection to fcshd on 127.0.0.1:20569
[FCSHD] /Users/jon/Workspace/AirTest
[FCSHD] mxmlc +configname=air -source-path /Users/jon/Workspace/
AirTest/src -library-path+=/Users/jon/Workspace/AirTest/lib -output /
Users/jon/Workspace/AirTest/bin/AirTest.swf -debug=true -- /Users/jon/
Workspace/AirTest/src/AirTest.mxml
[FCSH] Loading configuration file /Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/

[FCSH] /Users/jon/Workspace/AirTest/bin/AirTest.swf (399585 bytes)
[FCSH] Compilation complete in: 0.571708 seconds

In my actual project I'm running into compilation errors because
embedded assets aren't getting found.

Any ideas?

Assets don't get "included" during swf build or adl... but during
packaging, (rake package) for example:

adt -package -keystore foo.pfx -storetype pkcs12 bin/Foo.air src/Foo-
app.xml bin/Foo.swf src/assets 2>&1

where in the airake.yml, assets: src/assets

If you are using Embeds... I think they have to be relative to a
source directory, for me:

[Embed(source="/assets/images/famfamfam/folder.png")];
protected var directoryIcon:Class;

Maybe try experimenting with the paths?
