Adding metadata to SWF files
The application compilers support adding metadata to SWF files. This metadata can be used by search engines
and other utilities to gather information about the SWF file. This metadata represents a subset of the Dublin Core
schema.
You can set the following values:
• contributor
• creator
• date
• description
• language
• localized-description
• localized-title
• publisher
• title
For the mxmlc command-line compiler, the default metadata settings in the flex-config.xml file are as follows:
<metadata>
<title>Adobe Flex 2 Application</title>
<description>http://www.adobe.com/flex</description>
<publisher>unknown</publisher>
<creator>unknown</creator>
<language>EN</language>
</metadata>
You can also set the metadata values as command-line options. The following example sets some of the metadata
values:
mxmlc -language+=klingon -title "checkintest!" -localized-description "it r0x0rs" en-us -
localized-description "c'est magnifique!" fr-fr -creator "Flexy Frank" -publisher "Franks
Beans" flexstore.mxml
In this example, the following values are compiled into the resulting SWF file:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
<rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1'>
<dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
<dc:title>checkintest!</dc:title>
<dc:description>
<rdf:Alt>
<rdf:li xml:lang='fr-fr'>c'est magnifique!</rdf:li>
<rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>http://www.adobe.com/flex<
