AS is not Java. See the modules presentation on my blog.
You won't want to reference MyScreen as MyScreen in the main app, but rather as IScreen. MyScreen should have been created by ModuleLoader and the child property should be an IScreen. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of arunprakash dhanabal Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 6:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Loading an ActionScript class from and external swf file Hi, Im running into an issue with Flex and need some help. I have an action script application in flexbuilder. Here is the setup, * interface named IScreen defined in the application * Created a new mxml module(MyScreen.mxml) which is implementing the IScreen interface * The main application's SWF has just the IScreen.as and the application.mxml * The MyScreen.swf has the MyScreen.as and the related dependencies Im trying to instantiate the class MyScreen from the application.mxml. Im loading the swf file using a ModuleLoader and once the module is loaded, Im trying to create an instance of the MyScreen using the getDefinitionByName. I get the following error Error #1065: Variable MyScreen is not defined. I get this because MyScreen is a seperate module and not compiled into the main swf file. I dont want the MyScreen to be compiled into the main app as my requirement is that I dont know which implementation of the screen, I willbe loading in the runtime. In Java I would just define the interface in the main application and then, load the class that is implementing the interface from the classpath and I should be able to call the methods in the interface. Any thoughts!!! I have a sample workspace showing this problem Thanks for your time in reading this email.
