A sample OpenFL and Haxe project that compiles a .swc library for ActionScript 3.0 developers

Create SWC Library with OpenFL Sample

Demonstrates how to create a .swc library for ActionScript 3.0 using OpenFL and Haxe. This allows AS3 developers using Adobe AIR to access Haxe libraries too.

To build the .swc library, use the following command:

openfl build flash -debug

The file will be created at bin/flash/bin/mylibrary.swc.

To use the .swc library in an ActionScript project, add it with the --library-path compiler option.

mxmlc --library-path+=mylibrary.swc

During startup, such as in the constructor of the main AS3 class, you should add the following AS3 code because it initializes a few things that are expected by Haxe-compiled .swc libraries:

haxe.initSwc(null);
