I try to recompile a flash package from somebody who has left the company and I have some difficulty to understand why I can't.

There are only warnings of type "variable 'x' has no type declaration" when building so why does it halt ?

FlashDevelop treats warnings as errors and so won't compile successfully if there are warnings.

I went to project properties->compiler options then set Enable All Warnings to false..and it worked like a charm after. Seems like warnings are treated as errors by default

There could be an obscure error of which has not been picked up by the ide. these include package declaration errors, sometimes inline XML and especially Flex - mxml errors unflagged.

Try cleaning the application, ensure no SVN files a kicking around -

ooh I'd like to add this happened to me once when I tried to make a backup of a class called Myclass_old.as

The ide will try and parse it - bt of course I had the same thing. I guess that falls under incorrect package naming but it easy to overlook.

  • Well i have no svn files and no special files. But it uses fl.transitions.* classes I don't have so I decompiled some swf files to get them, maybe that's not good ? – user310291 May 22 '10 at 15:10
  • As I remember decompliers can never get the code out perfectly - but I'm curious. If the package is 'fl.transitions' then why did you need to decompile the old work? Are they not native to flash (Due to the 'fl' package name) - Could you be implementing package namespaces that already exist? – Glycerine May 22 '10 at 15:34
