DiTA: Doc in The AIR

dita is a small AIR application meant to generate asdoc commands.

The main function of DiTA is to scan classes within specified folders and allow users to filter classes with regular expression. It does not run asdoc automatically for you. Instead you need to run the generated commands from command line or terminal.

asdoc is an ActionScript document generation tool. It's very cool but it only supports command line and it's not easy to type the commands if you have lots of classes.

The detailed parameters are list in Adobe's LiveDoc site. The simplest command should look like this:

asdoc -doc-sources my_dir   -output myDoc

However, this gets messy if the project involve 3rd party libraries, e.g. Tweener or PaperVision3D. You cannot take them out easily by using -exclude-classes string because you need to list out every single class in 3rd party libraries.

The biggest mistake of asdoc is that it does not support regular expression. Our life will be much easier if it can do something like this:

asdoc -doc-sources my_dir   -output myDoc   -exclude-calsses Tweener.*
