This seems like you're talking about a couple different things here. I'm not sure I understand where mx.core.Application.application comes into it.
You can do the same thing with source as you can with a SWC; Make a new directory tree, looks like you're using mrstd. Then, you'll make one source file per class (that you are currently putting in one file). Name the source file the same as the classname. BTW - several of your utility functions should probably really be static - there's no reason to create a class instance just to call a function when there are no vars on the object! Add the directory one level above the mrstd directory to your actionscript-classpath (either via the flex-config file or by setting it in FlexBuilder; Project > ActionScript Build Path > Class path. When you want to use these classes from some other file, just do import mrstd.*; Use the classes as you would expect. This should get you most of the way there. Ok, so what if you want to hand your mrstd classes off to someone else? Or maybe you don't want to keep compiling them? That's when you need a SWC. Unfortunately, the alpha build of FlexBuilder doesn't have any SWC support built-in, so you need to drop down to the command line. Run compc.exe -i source source source -o mrstd.swc Go back into FlexBuilder, and remove the mrstd directory from the classpath, and add the mrstd.swc file to the library path tab. Is this what you need? -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Johnson > Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 11:45 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2:Package/Class problem > > This is a part I didn't even get a chance to get into with 1.5 so im > coming kinda late in 2. > > In my post you saw the functions that I want to make so I can use > them all over without having to > use "mx.core.Application.application." every time I use one. > > Most of them I use in .as files not .mxml files.
