I haven't tried it, but just off the top of my head, would it be worth using a variable to catch whatever value is returned by the system.os call where you're executing mxmlc and then print that value...
Something like this??
mxmlc_output = os.system("mxmlc.exe swick.swc -output location/swiff.swf")
print mxmlc_outputLike I said, I've not tried it; but it might work!

Nah, os.system just returns the return value.
You'd be better off using a subprocess and read the STDOUT pipe... Additionally, you could add a " > filename.txt" to the end of your command, which will dump the stdout into a file called filename.txt.

ignore that last post...all that does is return a numerical value...Not quite what you were after!

Hmm, yes that would probably be a more sensible idea!
