Help and Support

Minimum Requirements

Visual Studio Code 1.37
Java 1.8 Runtime

asconfig.json

Add a file named asconfig.json to the root of your project to enable the ActionScript & MXML extension.

A sample asconfig.json file for an Apache Royale project appears below:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "targets": ["JSRoyale"],
    "source-path": ["src"],
    "source-map": true
  },
  "mainClass": "HelloRoyale"
}

Here's another sample asconfig.json file for a pure ActionScript project targeting Adobe AIR on mobile:

{
  "config": "airmobile",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "source-path": ["src"],
    "output": "bin/HelloAIR.swf"
  },
  "mainClass": "HelloAIR",
  "application": "src/HelloAIR-app.xml",
  "airOptions": {
    "android": {
      "output": "bin/HelloAIR.apk",
      "signingOptions": {
        "storetype": "pkcs12",
        "keystore": "android_certificate.p12"
      }
    },
    "ios": {
      "output": "bin/HelloAIR.ipa",
      "signingOptions": {
        "storetype": "pkcs12",
        "keystore": "ios_certificate.p12",
        "provisioning-profile": "example.mobileprovision"
      }
    }
  }
}
