Description

To support Chrome/Pepperflash our application requires us to add the BrokerLocalConnection property to the FileAttributes Tag.

Currently the only way to achieve that is a post-compilation step to augment the FileAttributes using a (very old) Adobe tool called "flashfileattributes". E.g.:

flashfileattributes /some/folder/structure/movie.swf +brokerLocalConnection

Request is to modify the MXML compiler to allow us to specify that option at compile time, thus eliminating the post-compilation step.

Reference:

• flash.swf.tags.FileAttributes
• flex2.linker.SimpleMovie
