I'm trying to create a bundle command that will compile a Flex (.mxml) file using fcsh (the flex compiler shell http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Compiler_Shell) unlike the mxmlc compiler fcsh keeps things in memory so it's much much faster.
Long story short to use the fcsh compiler you would open up the Terminal and run
$ fcsh
which launches the compiler, then you compile the mxml file as you normally would
(fcsh) mxmlc /pathto/my.mxml
that mxml file gets assigned an ID (say '1'), from then on you use the command
(fcsh) compile 1
I can get fcsh to run from a bundle command, but how I can I have it wait to launch then run 'mxmlc /pathto/my.mxml' the first time but then 'compile 1' thereafter? (All within the original Terminal window). If all three steps together are impossible, could I have it just run 'compile 1' in a Terminal window in which I've manually run steps 1 and 2?
thanks!

You would need to start a server process that launches fcsh (with its input/output attached to a pipe under the control of this server process) and then communicate with this server process.
The TerminalMate bundle [1] does this, and might be good to look at. Otherwise ask, and I or someone else can elaborate.

Please let me know if you get this working. This would be way way hip.
Thanks!
I've actually recently put something just like this together. I have it compiling and running in HTML window. I'm just trying to add fdb reading traces to a Dialog window and am working out some issues with tm_dialog. The only real difference is I'm using mxmlc, but if you say fsch is way faster I'll make a quick change to that. Let me know if you have any ideas or want to take a look at what I've done, it makes no sense for us to both make the same thing.
