Running the ANT Build:

Thank you for downloading my URIManagerUtil. Here is a quick guide to getting started and how to use the library.

First, make sure you have ANT installed on your computer.

Copy the build.template.properties file and rename it to build.properties.

Change the path to your FLEX_HOME to where you put the Flex SDK (needs version 4.0.0)

The ANT file is automatically set up to run the Unit Test, generate AS Docs, and build a SWC.

That should be everything you need to know about running the ANT build, here is how to use the utility:

Cong XML example

Doc class example that loads config xml and sets up URIManager

package { import com.flashartofwar.utils.URIManagerUtil;

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.display.Sprite;

/**

public class URIManagerExamples extends Sprite 
{
	private var loader : URLLoader;
	private var uriManager : URIManagerUtil;

	public function URIManagerExamples() 
	{
		
		loadConfig( );
	}

	private function loadConfig() : void
	{
		loader = new URLLoader( );
		loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onConfigLoad );
		loader.load( new URLRequest( "xml/config.xml" ) );
	}

	private function onConfigLoad(event : Event) : void 
	{
		parseURIs( XML( event.target.data ) );
	}

	private function parseURIs(xml : XML) : void 
	{
		
		var uriList : XMLList = xml.uris.*;
		
		uriManager = URIManagerUtil.instance;
		var uri : XML;
		
		for each (uri in uriList) 
		{
			uriManager.addURI( uri.@name, uri.toString( ) );
		}
		
		testURIManager( );
	}

	private function testURIManager() : void 
	{
		
		// Test 1
		trace( "locations \n", uriManager.getURI( "locations" ) + "\n", uriManager.getURI( "locations", {filename: "eastvillage"} ), "\n" );
		
		// Test 2
		trace( "fonts \n", uriManager.getURI( "fonts" ) + "\n", uriManager.getURI( "fonts", {filename: "FontLibrary"} ), "\n" );
		
		// Test 3
		trace( "selectContainer \n", uriManager.getURI( "selectContainer" ) + "\n", uriManager.getURI( "selectContainer", {location: "eastvillage", id:"1"} ), "\n" );
	}
}
