I'm building a flex .swc library using Ant, and many of the assets that are supposed to be in the file are not being copied, instead creating 0-byte entries in the .swc.
Here is the ant compc target that is doing the creation. I've tried both compiler.include-libraries and compiler.library-path here, which is why the latter is still present and commented out. Neither worked.
<compc headless-server="true"
default-frame-rate="${flex.default-frame-rate}"
debug="${flex.compiler.debug.mode}"
directory="false"
output="${project.swc.dir}/${project.swc.name}.swc">
<source-path path-element="${project.src.dir}"/>
<source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
<compiler.include-libraries dir="${FLEX_HOME}" append="true">
<include name="*.swc"/>
<include name="bundles/{locale}/*.swc"/>
<include name="libs/*"/>
</compiler.include-libraries>
<!-- List of SWC files or directories that contain SWC files.
<compiler.library-path dir="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" append="true">
<include name="libs" />
<include name="../bundles/{locale}" />
</compiler.library-path>-->
<include-sources dir="${project.src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.as" />
<include name="**/*.mxml" />
</include-sources>
<include-file name="package/assets/error.png" path="${project.src.dir}/package/assets/error.png" />
<include-file name="package/assets/folder.png" path="${project.src.dir}/package/assets/folder.png" />
<include-file name="package/assets/success.png" path="${project.src.dir}/package/assets/success.png" />
</compc>
The output of this is a .swc file like this:

In your ant script, include a source path element that references the root location where the images can be found as follows:
You should be able to find a particular image from that root location. For example, the result of the following:
should include the 0-byte the images referenced in your swc.
