AsDoc and COMPC now supported in Sprouts

I just got some enhancements into the Sprout packages that provide full support for asdoc and compc.

The AsDoc support is especially handy because it gives the full terminal interface, but also allows you to generate documentation against any already defined MXMLC task without duplicating all of your configuration!

A Rakefile might look something like this:

desc "Compile the main application"
mxmlc 'bin/SomeProject.swf' do |t|
  t.input = 'src/SomeProject.as'
  t.source_path = 'lib/yourlib'
  t.source_path = 'lib/asunit'
  t.source_path = 'test'
  t.source_path = 'src'
end

desc "Generate documentation"
asdoc :doc => 'bin/SomeProject.swf'

That’s it!

You just set an MXMLC task as a prerequisite for an asdoc task and the configuration options are inherited.

The latest as3 bundle gem automatically adds something similar to all of your new project rake files.

sprout -R
sudo gem update sprout

Be sure to let us know if anything doesn’t work as expected!
