Flash CS5 not exporting SWC?

Question

So for some weird reason i've run into a bug today. I'm trying to export a FLA in CS5 to SWC but click the "export to SWC" setting in the publish settings. my problem is for whatever reason it's not exporting the swc file. I've never had this issue before, is there a fix to this issue?

Answer 1

This usually happens if there is no ActionScript to export. Even if there is some vector art or some symbols, there needs to be some ActionScript elements. Flash will never output an empty SWC; instead, it just outputs nothing.

Make sure you have "Export for ActionScript" and "Export on 1st frame" checked for at least one symbol in the library, or have some code on your timeline.

Answer 2

One main reason is because you have errors in the code and in compiling it will screw up the SWC. Check for duplicate indentifiers and also duplicate functions. The errors are not reported once the SWC fails.
