Packaging Adobe Flex Projects as Add-Ons
The Dashboards Add-On Packager provides an easy way to package your component as an add-on
.xlx file for distribution to Dashboards users. Dashboards users can simply use the Dashboards
Add-on Manager to install or remove your add-on.
For more information about using the Add-on Manager, see the “Customizing Dashboards with Add-Ons”
section in the
SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards User Guide

9.1 To create a release version of the SWF
While you are testing your component, you can use the debug version of your SWF.
If you created a custom property sheet, in Adobe Flash Builder 4, use the File > Export > Release
Build option to create the release version.
Note:
If you update your add-on package .xlx before you distribute it, make sure you use the release version
of the SWF instead of the debug version.
If your component uses the default property sheet, before you package your component, complete the
following steps to use the Adobe Flex MXML compiler to build a release version of the SWF that includes
the metadata required for use with the Dashboards Default Property Sheet.
1.
Locate your Adobe Flex MXML command-line compiler.
The MXML compiler (mxmlc.exe) is located in the Adobe Flex SDK bin folder.
For example: C:\Program Files\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.0.0\bin\mxmlc.exe
2.
Locate the top-level application MXML file for your component.
For example: SalesFunnelSource.mxml
3.
Create an MXML compiler configuration file for your application MXML and save it in the same
directory as your top-level application MXML file.
Note:
To ensure the MXML compiler uses the configuration file when you build your MXML application,
name the configuration file with the same name as your application MXML file, but replace .mxml
with -config.xml.
For example, for an application MXML file called SalesFunnelSource.mxml, name the
configuration file SalesFunnelSource-config.xml.
