I tried to add -incremental=false option, but flex compiler annoyed me with

command line: Error: configuration variable 'compiler.incremental' must only be set once
Use 'mxmlc -help' for information about using the command line.
Build halted with errors (fcsh).

Thanks.

This is currently not possible.

If you have a compiler cache problem you can switch to another project and back to your project - this will reset the compiler.

Is it possible now?

And now?

Technically, if you remove 'fcsh.exe' in your Flex SDK, FlashDevelop should switch to non optimized compilation.

I tried it but is giving me weird results...
I deleted the fcsh.exe from my flexsdk bin folder but in FlashDevelop console it still saying "Using the Flex Compiler Shell." and using -incremental=true after that...

Ah right, we're not using the .EXE anymore, but the JAR library directly.

Removing (renaming) fcsh.jar in the SDK's libs does the trick.

Is it possible to add 'Rebuild' button or context menu item in project panel just like in VStudio?

Sometimes I have problems with incremental compilation too.

Standard 'Build' does incremental=true
'Rebuild' does incremental=false

Ok added in FD4 branch:
a "Clean Project" action in the Project menu to clear the compiler cache (and also tries deleting the output SWF).

as you might notice I am trying to use latest sdk 4.5 and it goes crazy with incremental build so this is kind of necessary feature.

Sorry to bump this old thread. But renaming fcsh.jar now throws an error.

compiler.incremental throws an error

And it isn't possible to turn Clean project on consistently.

Is there a new way to fix this now that renaming fcsh.jar is broken.

Yes very old thread, FCSH is now always used.
You can reset the compiler by re-opening the project.

Sorry about dragging up the old thread. I just figured it might be better to continue the discussion. And the search engine lead me here.

The problem is that if you do something like

package
{
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedSuperclassName;

[Embed(source = "../lib/assets.swf", symbol = "Button1")]
public class TesterGreen extends BaseTester
{
override protected function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
super.onClick(e);
}
}
}


It does not cache properly. So you have to open and close every compile.

It's a bug in FCSH as far as I can tell. It would be great if you bought back a way to disable it.

It also bugs when you try to override and existing class.

E.g. if you have a swc imported with a baseclass and you have a class with the same name to override (replace is prolly a better word) it.

Might not be typical ways to use flash. But are important in my work flow, because it means you can bake your code into assets and separate out the design/code flow better. Letting designers concern themselves with layout.. and programmers with functionality.

an example that will break fairly consistently http://plosy.com/LoadOrder.rar

renaming fcsh used to solve it.

Thanks heaps for your help. I imagine I'm a bit of an edge case.

I'll try your example - for what it's worth I very often use the swc base class replacement and don't have compilation problems.
