could not resolve (or ) to a component implementation

Question

I am trying to compile a file into swf using mxmlc in command line. When it is a very simple mxml, compile is successful. But when the file contaion the fx name space, I get a compile error like: could not resolve (or ) to a component implementation.

I have to be able to do this, without the help of Flash Builder because I am working on a project where I will need to generate swf files from mxml files of which we generate the code.

Any suggestions?

The code I am trying to compile is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Answer 1

Finally, I found a solution.

First of all, as I understand the problem is specific to some locales. Problem is defined here

It seems this problem is very common in Turkish locales(in computers where a OS is Turkish)

Here is how I solved this problem: forcing the java virtual machine that mxmlc uses to use English locale. I found the jvm.config of JVM that my SDK uses and added the lines -Duser.language=en -Duser.location=us. Now it works!

I hope this solution works for everyone who has the same problem.

Answer 2

Try to execute the following:

mxmlc -version

invoking mxmlc the same way as you're compiling from command line. What version number is in output? It should be at least 4.0.
