Re: [flexcoders] Why is import mandatory?

[Hasan Otuome]

IMO, without importing, the compiler has no way of knowing anything about our custom data types, etc (fully-qualified or not). That's how I look @ it anyway, plus its "best practice" (a/k/a less debugging). If you notice, Flex Builder will auto-insert import statements for you when you make reference to a built-in class without importing first. With custom stuff it's up to us.
