Whichever of the compiler options you use, IntelliJ IDEA keeps track of the modules where nothing has changed since the previous compilation. Consequently, the SWF and SWC files that are up-to-date are not compiled. |
Prefer ActionScript Compiler 2.0 for pure ActionScript build configurations | If this check box is selected, the ActionScript Compiler 2.0 (ASC 2.0) is used for pure ActionScript build configurations. |
Parallel compilation with up to <this_many> threads or processes | Specify the maximum number of compilation threads (for the built-in compiler shell) or processes (for the mxml/compc compiler) to run simultaneously. |
Compiler heap size |
Specify the maximum heap size available to the process that launches the compiler.
