Hey list,
I'm trying to compile AS3 on my mac, have tried every which method and keep on
running into the same issue. Here's the deal:
Downloaded latest version of Flex SDK from labs.adobe.com
Moved SDK to user directory, tried comiling from command line.
Could compile MXML no problems, but when I tried to compile AS3 file, got the
following errors:
/Users/dpeek/test.as(9): col: 21 Error: Call to a possibly undefined method
TextField.
helloField = new TextField();
^
/Users/dpeek/test.as(2): col: 23 Error: Definition flash.display:TextField
could not be found.
import flash.display.TextField;
It seemed like the compiler wasn't loading the AS3 stub files, which as far as
I can tell are supposed to be in an swc somewhere. I'd followed various
walkthroughs to the letter always with the same result: MXML - no problem, AS3
- can't find intrinsic classes.
Installed xcode today so I could try a different approach, followed Josh
Buhlers excellent walkthrough, only to run into the same problem. I've done a
pretty thorough search for that error code to no avail. So, if anyone has any
ideas, I'd be eternally greatful :)
oh, here's the AS I'm trying to compile, as found in gskinners flcompile files:
package {
import flash.display.TextField;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class test extends Sprite {
private var helloField:TextField;
public function test() {
helloField = new TextField();
helloField.text = "Hello World!";
addChild(helloField);
}
}
}
Thanks in advance,
David
