As you have discovered, changing class hierarchy and -keep don't go very well together. Classes need to be initialized in the proper order, or the prototype chain isn't set up correctly. When you use the keep flag, mtasc keeps all existing classes (and preserves their order), and then adds all the additional classes compiled afterwards (in the correct order for class initialization). But if the class hierarchy changes, the order from the inject swf may be wrong, and mtasc doesn't change it. You can see this using a tool like asv.
You can easily lose hours to these types of errors, because things mostly work, which is why everyone advises moving all classes out of the FLA generated swf. You should have better luck if ONLY the v2 components/classes are in the swf, since you won't likely change the v2 base classes. --Brian On 8/5/07, Hans Wichman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Ron, > > my swf contains v2 components, including their classes. > Im compiling against the v2 component framework in intrinsic format so i > need the classes in the swf. > > In addition we use a hybrid kind of project setup where u you can work in > either the flash ide or in flashdevelop. > This is not required, but the timeline has been setup for preloading and > starting the main application, so one way or another our classes will be > in > the injection swf. > > The useMain is set to false in flashdevelop btw. > > So there is no error msgs everything works ok, except for the fact that > introducing superclasses has some weird results if you dont recompile the > injection swf. > > greetz > JC > > > On 8/4/07, Ron Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > It is not clear why any classes are in the swf from the IDE.
