flash object (fl)
Last updated 5/2/2011
Parameters
flaURI A string, expressed as a file:/// URI, that specifies the path of the FLA file that should be silently published.
publishProfile A string that specifies the publish profile to use when publishing. If this parameter is omitted, the
default publish profile is used.
Returns
Boolean
Description
Method; publishes a FLA file without opening it. This API opens the FLA in a headless mode and publishes the SWF
(or whatever the profile is set to). The second parameter (publishProfile) is optional. The return value is a boolean
indicating if the profile was found or not. In the case where the second parameter is not supplied, the return value is
always true.
Example
The following example prompts the user to select a FLA file and silently publishes it using the “Default” publish profile:
var uri = fl.browseForFileURL("select", "select a FLA file to publish");
var publishProfileName = "Default";
fl.publishDocument(uri, publishProfileName);
fl.quit()
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
fl.quit([bPromptIfNeeded])
Parameters
bPromptIfNeeded A Boolean value that is true (default) if you want the user to be prompted to save any modified
documents. Set this parameter to false if you do not want the user to be prompted to save modified documents. In
the latter case, any modifications in open documents will be discarded and the application will exit immediately.
Although it is useful for batch processing, use this method with caution. This parameter is optional.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; quits Flash, prompting the user to save any changed documents.
Example
The following example illustrates quitting with and without asking to save modified documents:
