I’ve been trying to create a simple swf file for a while now and I’ve found that the build doesn’t compile unless I add the following dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.adobe.flash.core</groupId>
<artifactId>playerglobal</artifactId>
<type>swc</type>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>

Even when I do add this dependency I seem to have problems running my my file. This is the only relevant web page I have found concerning this issue: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15073

Have you ever seen a similar problem? More information is available upon request.

Definitely, it’s a compiler bug, playerglobal.swc can’t be renamed. You can use “mvn flex:eclipse” command on your project to generate the .actionScriptProperty file, playerglobal.swc will be copied in your libs folder and linked to your project.

Hello Philip,
Actually, the playerglobal.swc contains the type definitions of the flash player’s built-in classes, so its bytecode should not be embedded into your SWF artifact.
You should declare your dependency with the “provided” scope. This way the bytecode will be used by the compiler to link the classes, but it won’t be embedded into your SWF file.

You may use archetypes to create sample projects : http://maven.servebox.org/sites/maven-flex-plugin/flex-plugin/configuration/using-archetypes.html

I updated this post, because the dependency was not mentioned there.

I hope this helps.
Jeff.
