"Copy non-embedded files to output folder" does not work for linked resources

[Guest]

Is it not possible to have the files from a linked resource (folder) be copied to the bin-release/debug folder?

I have an actionscript project that loads the release swfs of other projects. To make things easier, I created an assets folder that has linked folders to the bin-release folders of the other projects, so that every time I compile a release swf from them, the newest build lands into the assets folder of "loader" app. That worked fine and I can see all my swfs. I can not seem to get those linked resources to be copied into the bin-release/debug folder of the project though. Before I turn to my savior ANT, is there a way in eclipse to have these seen as hard links instead of references, or perhaps a compiler option that will allow me to set that folder to always be copied.

This solution works the other way around, when i set the bin-release folder of each of the projects that are being loaded to a linked assets directory of the loaded app, so I'm assuming that the (virtual) linked resources are the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

Did you ever figure this out? I am having exactly the same issue!

Thanks for bringing this up.

We have filed a bug for the same:

The bug is under investigation and please refer to the bug report for any updates.

From the bug:

Flash Builder currently ignores linked folders while copying resources if their actual location sits outside known source containers.

A simple workaround would be to create a new source folder (this is a link as well and can point to an existing folder) via Project Properties -> Flex Build Path that contains the files that need to be copied to bin-debug/bin-release.

Would this work in your case?
