what is SWC, when/where we use SWC in Flash

Does any one know what is SWC and where we use this SWC in Flash Development?

Solution

  • SWC files make it easy to exchange components and other assets among Flex developers. You need only exchange a single file, rather than the MXML or ActionScript files and images and other resource files. The SWF file in a SWC file is compiled, which means that the code is loaded efficiently and it is hidden from casual view.

    .

    You can also dynamically link the contents of SWC files. Dynamic linking is when the entire SWF file is loaded at run time. To achieve dynamic linking of the SWF file, you must use the SWC file as a Runtime Shared Library, or RSL.
