Hi, thanks for posting, it seems quite useful. When I run the command in flash tho, I get an error saying

Line 141 :A was expected.

Any idea ???

Hi Steve, thanks for your post, it's been a massive help, although i still can't quite believe that you can't access and edit publish settings directly through jsfl???

I was also wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction with something else i'm stuck on. I've written a jsfl script that recurses through a directory structure, creates a new file for each .flv file that it finds, imports the flv (to embed it) and then outputs a swf. The only problem is that i can't find a way to automate the 'import video' dialog box that pops up when you import an flv into the fla? I've got to do this for 850 flv's so i'm hoping you might know a way to communicate with this dialog box through jsfl? Otherwise i'm looking at a serious RSI!

I noticed an earlier comment from Quince mentioning profiles for video encoding and have got my hopes up that this may be the ray of light of was looking for! Any ideas?

cheers.

The indexOf("") is WordPress stripping out characters it shouldn't be. I'll fix it.

What is supposed to happen in the replace publish paths section? When I used the code (on a mac) the new publish path is put between every single character. Where in the xml file are the publish path changes supposed to go?

What is confusing me is the code:

xml.indexOf("");

What is that searching for?

Not that I know of. If you ask on Flashcoders or Flash_Tiger, you might get an answer from Adobe's technical writer Francis Cheng.

Thanks, I already did that, but I want to know what is actually allowed in the xml. you can also see that their are profiles for video encoding, flash lite, and projects. but is there any documentation on the publish xml file? attributes and tags…

Go into Flash, export a publish profile manually and look at the XML file it creates.

Do you know where there is a list of the allowable xml tags in a xml profile?

My Gaia Framework uses something similar to this in the JSFL that scaffolds pages. Install it and open the JSFL files it uses to see how it works.
