Running Flash (AS3) code in Haxe

Question

I am starting out developing in Haxe in combination with OpenFl, and am in a situation where I need to be able to run Flash/AS3 code in a Haxe program which is being compiled to Flash anyway.

I know I could use the command lime build -as3 as3source/ and then edit that code and manually insert the AS3 code I need to run, but I would prefer not doing that if I can.

Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

You can compile your AS3 code into a separate swf or swc and then use -swf-lib to use it from Haxe.

Answer 2

You can always write a build script which enters the code in combination with the command for you, if you just want to avoid doing it manually, but I belive that´s the kind of answer you want.

I just find build script very usefull.

Answer 3

You may want to look at this article, some major options are described there (including tools for converting AS3 code to Haxe and technique with -swf-lib).
