Extension settings

To configure the ActionScript & MXML extension for Visual Studio Code, open the File menu (On macOS, open the Code application menu) and go to Preferences → Workspace Settings.

Alternatively, you may manually create a file named settings.json inside your workspace's .vscode/ directory (you'll need to create this directory, if it doesn't exist in your workspace yet).

Settings

nextgenas.sdk.framework

Specifies the folder path of the ActionScript SDK used by the current workspace. Supports Apache FlexJS, the Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler, the Apache Flex SDK, Adobe Flex SDK, and the Feathers SDK.

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.framework": "/path/to/sdk"
}

This setting may also be customized by clicking the name of the currently selected SDK in the status bar to open the SDK picker.

nextgenas.sdk.searchPaths

Specifies a folder path containing one or more SDKs to add as custom options in the SDK picker.

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.searchPaths": "/path/to/custom/sdks"
}

Alternatively, you can use an array of paths, if you happen store SDKs in more than one location:

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.searchPaths": [
		"/path/to/custom/sdks",
		"/more/custom/sdks"
	]
}

nextgenas.asconfigc.useBundled

(Advanced) Indicates if the extension will use the bundled version of asconfigc or a different version that is installed on the system path. Defaults to true.

If you have the npm version of asconfigc installed globally, and you'd prefer to use that version of the program instead of the version that is bundled with the extension, change the value of this setting to false.

{
	"nextgenas.asconfigc.useBundled": false
}

nextgenas.java

(Advanced) If the extension cannot find Java automatically, this setting may be used to specify the exact path to the java executable that the extension should use (Note: it must be an executable, and not directory).

On macOS or Linux, you might specify a path like this:

{
	"nextgenas.java": "/usr/bin/java"
}

On Windows, you should specify the path to java.exe (the exact path may be different on your system):

{
	"nextgenas.java": "c:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_131\\bin\\java.exe"
}

nextgenas.sdk.editor

(Advanced) Specifies the folder path of the Apache Royale SDK used internally by the extension for code intelligence. Unless you know what you're doing, you should probably set nextgenas.sdk.framework instead.

{
	"nextgenas.sdk.editor": "/path/to/sdk"
}

If you are using a pre-release/nightly build of Apache Royale, you may be required to use the nextgenas.sdk.editor setting to avoid compiler errors. Sometimes, new versions of Royale add new compiler options that older versions of compiler may not recognize.
