two classes. First lines of the problem class:
import flash.geom.*;
import as.maps.model.GroupReference;
class as.maps.model.Topic{
...
}
first lines of the GroupReference class
import as.memomaps.model.Topic;
class as.memomaps.model.GroupReference{
...
}
Topic.as: Line 3: The name of this class, 'as.memomaps.model.Topic',
conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded,
'as.memomaps.model.Topic'.
class as.memomaps.model.Topic{
This makes sense. Topic imports groupreference which imports topic. Bad
Andreas.
So how to work around this? I make a completely empty class called
DataSource, and have Topic extend that.
Then in GroupReference, i import as.memomaps.model.DataSource instead,
and have whatever variables were expecting a Topic datatype to expect a
DataSource type.
Whammy. no more errors.
The thing is, it's hard to simplify the Topic class down further: it's
got a very specialized purpose. So is my method acceptable? To me it
just looks terribly dirty.
Any suggestions as to how i can solve this kind of cross-import issue in
a more elegant manner?
