This document discusses using the MXML compiler (mxmlc) to compile Flex projects from the command line rather than within Flex Builder. It provides an example command to compile a FlexMXML file located in the user's Documents folder. Additional command line arguments are also demonstrated, such as specifying the output SWF file location and adding library paths. The document recommends adding the Flex SDK bin directory to the system PATH environment variable so mxmlc can be called directly from the command line without specifying the full SDK path.
