grunt-as3
This is an awesome plugin for who have been working with Grunt.js and now have to implement few AS3 modules in the same environment. You don't need to download an exclusive flex sdk plugin for it works. You should take advantage of the Flex SDK already installed in your environment, you have just to create a link into Gruntfile.js file. Also the MXMLC remains the same arguments, thus you can read all the documentation about it on the adobe's website.

Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-as3 --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-as3");
