Calling mxmlc/fcsh from PHP script

[kanu kukreja]

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

Hi Kanu,

I am not sure you can compile SWF at the run time in current versions of Flex but I do remember that in Flex 1.5 days, it was a server side app and was allowing msml/as scripts to swf.

Ca you check the specs, may be you get something suitabl.e
