Changing destination folder for SWF library

GiG · January 17, 2017, 2:50pm

Hi,
I am using and SWF library and noticed that when I compile my project the .swf is dismembered into the “/lib” folder, even if it would be obvious to me to find it in a different folder.
Is it possible to set a different destination folder than “/lib” for the “compiled” .SWF? I need to keep “/lib” folder for soundjs and other libraries that are common to multiple HTML5 apps (this folder is specified in the index.html template), and separate “/libX” folders for specific applications, inside the folder of each compiled application.

I need to compile the project and obtain a folder structure like this

/app
- /Assets
- /lib
- /libX (compiled swf)

so I will be able to deploy multiple compiled applications in the following folder structure

/commonFiles
- /lib (common .js libraries)
/app1
- /Assets
- /libX (compiled swf)
/app2
- /Assets
- /libX (compiled swf)
  …

Please tell me this is possible.
Thanks

This is not yet possible, but these are the places that appear to be hard-coded:

`Assets.loadLibrary`

	}
	
	
	public static function loadFont (id:String, useCache:Bool = true):Future<Font> {
		
		return cast loadAsset (id, FONT, useCache);
		
	}
	
	
	public static function loadImage (id:String, useCache:Bool = true):Future<Image> {
		
		return cast loadAsset (id, IMAGE, useCache);
		
	}
	
	
	public static function loadLibrary (id:String):Future<AssetLibrary> {
		
		var promise = new Promise<AssetLibrary> ();

I’m open to input on how this could/should be improved. You could make edits and openfl rebuild tools to test hard-coded changes, but ideally it sounds like we should have a method of not making this hard-coded.
