I’ve developed a ‘Batch-Publish’ Command for Flash. It lets you publish all the Flash files from a folder (provided by user). By selecting ‘Include Sub-Folders’ option will enable you to publish all the Flash files from sub folders also.
Once all Flash files are published a short report will be generated in output window. This report will include:
- Number of Flash files published (Please note: This number is calculated as per the Read Only files found in folder/s).
- Full path of Flash files which were not published, as their respective swf files are ‘Read Only’ (Please note: This number is calculated as per the Read Only files found in folder/s).
This command is available on Macromedia Exchange as well. Just search for “Batch-Publish Command” under JSFL catagory.
You can also download it from here.
Give it a try & let me know if it was helpful.

But it doesn’t accept the \
What should I do?
Thanks,

I am having a small issue. Say I want to change all the publish settings to one level above where the .fla’s,
../EN/media/
it wont accept the above line, I also tried making it absolute like
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\EN\media
neither work… any ideas?

lwsanom, relative path will not work. You will have to give absolute path. For absolute path, what error did you get?
By: Tushar on July 9, 2008

It gave me the same error using absolute,
Please provide valid Publist Profile. Or uncheck Change Publish Profile Option.
I tried changing the backslashes(\) to forward slashes(/) but that wasnt the problem..

lwsanom, if you are not wanted change the Publish Profile of Flash files, make sure that the ‘Publish Profile Path’ field is empty and make sure that ‘Change Publish Profile’ checkbox is unchecked.
If you want to change the Publish Profile of Flash files, provide valid path for the Publish Profile (XML) file and select the ‘Change Publish Profile’ checkbox.
By: Tushar on July 15, 2008

Oh it needs to be an xml file? For example… all my fla’s currently have a publish profile set to
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\EN\glossary
I would like to change them all to
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\EN\media
So I put C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\EN\media into the publish profile path and check “Change Publish Profile” as well as “Save File”. This is when I get the error, regardless of what is checked or unchecked I get that error if I put my new publish profile path in.
I guess I dont understand exactly why the Publish Profile Path should point to an xml file?? What exactly should this xml file contain…

Path filed is to provide path for the Fla files which you want to publish.
You can give only this path and hit OK (Make sure that Change Publish Profile check box is not selected).

Hi.
Great little piece of software and one that will save me loads of time.
One problem though… as its opening all my flash files it doesn’t save and close them. Instead, each file is left open with a save / do not save dialogue box. 10′s of files are open causing Flash to crash.
Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a way to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.
