This was originally a reply, but I’ve broken it into a new topic to make it easy to find
The tools have a different class, based on the target platform. For example, Windows builds are handled here:
If there was an asset packing solution, I would probably expect it could go in the AssetHelper class. On the update step (when files are copied) you can see it creates the asset manifest (with the list of all the asset files and IDs) here:
All the default assets are available to openfl.Assets using the DefaultAssetLibrary class:
This is what handles the “unpacking” of assets – how we go from “give me asset XYZ, please!” to having a real BitmapData instance. Instead of loading from disk, these could come from a big byte blob somewhere.
Perhaps we need obfuscate or pack options, packing everything could be done without much changes, but packing into separate bundles would probably need a new attribute to assets, so we can decide how to bundle them in which separate files
can we bundle all assets into one file or several files depending on file types? itch.io provides a way to upload html5 game, but there’s a limit on number of files being uploaded.
getting below error when using the suggested library tag as above.

Hi, HaxeFlixel relies on an old openFL version (before 4.0 if I remember correctly) so you won’t be able to use this feature which is from openFL 7 I think
