221ADOBE FLEX 3
Building and Deploying Adobe Flex 3 Applications
You can view the settings of the SWC files that are included with Flex but whose classes are not included in the
framework RSLs by expanding the list of libraries used by Flex in the Library Path tab. This list includes the
automation.swc and qtp.swc files. You might want to compile your application against these SWC files as RSLs if
your application will benefit from doing so. These SWC files are not optimized, so before you use them as RSLs,
you should optimize them as described in “Optimizing RSL SWF files” on page 212.
Use other Adobe SWC files as RSLs in Flex Builder
1 On the Library Path tab, click the + to expand the list of SWC files.
2 Select the SWC file that you want to use as an RSL and click the + to show its properties. For example, click
the + next to the automation.swc file.
3 Click the Link Type property and click the Edit button. The default link type is “Merged into code”, which
means that the library is statically linked to your application by default.
4 If you are already using the framework.swc file as an RSL, you can select the Use Same Linkage As Framework
option. This option lets you toggle the RSL’s status on and off by changing only the framework.swc file’s linkage
status. Otherwise, select Runtime Shared Library (RSL) from the Link Type drop-down list.
The RSL Options field is enabled.
5 Select the Verification type and the deployment locations of the RSL as described in “Compiling applications
with standard and cross-domain RSLs” on page 206.
6 Click OK to save your changes.
In some cases, you might not want to deploy the framework RSLs in the same directory as your main application.
You might have a central server where these RSLs are stored, and need to share them across multiple applications.
