Introduction

Quick Build is an alternative to Project compilation. This allows you to quickly compile the currently open class without setting up a project.

• In main menu: Tools > Flash Tools > QuickBuild
• Shortcut: Ctrl+F8

By default the generated SWF will be named after your class and placed at the root of your project directory.

Warning: this compilation method is completely unaware of your project settings, so if you want to add libraries, classpath, a custom output location, additional compiler arguments, etc. you will have to specify Quick Build arguments.

Optional Quick Build arguments

Special Quick Build arguments
