RE: [Flashcoders] Question about SWC elements for use in Flex

2011-09-21 Thread jchilcott 
If you don't need to use Flex, then it's all good. However, if Flex is
required, it's not really an arduous task to create a wrapper. We do
this this for various sprites developed in FLA's to maintain
reuseability throughout.

Thanks for your response. I have to weigh whether or not I want to jump
through the extra hoop or not (I can create a non-MXML app where I can
do
things straight away).

Thanks again,
Eric

addElement() is meant for display objects that extend the
SpriteVisualElement class, which are a part of the Flex libraries. What
you need to do if you want to use Sphere as you have made it, is to
create a wrapper display object that extends SpriteVisualElement and
have the wrapper add your Sphere object via an addChild(). You would do
an addElement() on your wrapper.

If I make an ActionScript Project - things work fine. I link the SWC,
import
the asset's stub class & I can use it. However I can't figure how to do
the
same for a Flex Project or Flex Mobile Project yet.

what if you do 'var s:Sphere = new Sphere() as IVisualElement' ?`


Apologies but I haven't done any Flex in a few years and I am  
getting back

into it.

I created a FLA and then created some visual assets in the Library,  
with

Linkage names. I then published a SWC of these.

In my Flex app project I linked the SWC with my project. Then I try  
to call

the stuff up and place & I get an error:





TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
Sphere@46b0179to mx.core.IVisualElement.
