Copy FlashDevelop output to another location

Just a small tip if you want to copy the output of your FlashDevelop build to another location:

  • open project settings
  • Go to post build section
  • paste: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /k copy “$(OutputDir)\$(OutputName)” “c:\temp\”
  • replace c:\temp\ with a path of your choice

If your FlashDevelop version hangs on the build because of this, place a batchfile in your project root called buildActions.bat and call that one instead.

For example the post build becomes: $(ProjectDir) buildActions.bat “$(OutputDir)\$(OutputName)” and you can do whatever you want from the batchfile.
