I think I finally worked it out. Gumbo seems like a great upcoming release. Thanks for the information and keep up the great work!

You should pass in sdk.dir and point that to the sdk root folder. For example

ant asdocgen -Dsdk.dir=/Users/Ian/Flex_SDK

Also take a look at build.xml which is present under the asdoc folder of Flex SDK.

Hi Gaurav,

This looks brilliant, unfortunately I got stuck trying to run your script. I would feel incredibly thankful if you could share your complete build.xml and build.properties files. I just downloaded FB4 and it looks amazing, I am sure that it uses the most recent SDK. For some reason it throws an error saying:

asdocgen:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/Ian/Documents/Flex Builder 3/InteractiveWorks [iFramework]/ant/build.xml:15: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/Users/Ian/Documents/Flex Builder 3/InteractiveWorks [iFramework]/ant/build.xml:33: Problem: failed to create task or type asdoc
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any / declarations have taken place.

It looks like it can’t find that specific asdoc task. :S

I would love to learn how to make your script work so its not dependent on platform and can exclude unnecessary files (such as include files).

Thanks in advance!
