I'm very new to Gradle and maybe the question is very easy.

I have an external lib and i dont want convert it in swc and i dont want past the lib folder inside my src.
Something like that

/lib/src
/project1/src/

How can i include all files inside lib/src inside my project?

I tried without success to use inside dependencies "filetree"
dependencies {
fileTree(dir: '/lib/src/', include: '*.as')
}

   The answer to this is not directly related to gradle, but more to the Flex compiler. If you use dependencies you're inherently referencing a library. The dependency scopes we use for GradleFx all translate to a Flex compiler flag that only expects a swc.

   So your only option is to consider these files sources and configure them as such:
   

   srcDirs = [‘project1/src/’, 'lib/src' ]
   

   You can't use absolute paths here however.

   To tell you the truth, I don't really understand why you don't want to compile the library into - well - a library artifact (a swc). It would make this much easier and logical. Have a look at our multi-project examples on GitHub.

   I would recommend to follow Maxime's answer, but if that isn't an option or doesn't solve your specific issue then there's also the includeSources property:

   includeSources = [...]
   

   This is similar to the include-sources compiler option, for which you can find the explanation here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c...
