this will throw a runtime error if you don't override the init function in an extending class. (look below)
is there anyway to force a COMPILE error instead of a runtime error? my guess it not, but if there is a way i want to do that

I'm coding an AS3 project with Flex Builder. I just updated my Flex SDK from 3.1 to 3.3. And that's IT. Now, when I try to compile I get the following errors[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem that I cannot figure out. I have searched the internet, describing as best I could and I could only find one other person with the same problem as me and no one replied to his post. Here's to hoping someone knows what is up.My App was working fine yesterday, then I added a few lines of code to a class file. When I tried to test the movie, it wouldn't compile. It would just run through all of the frames flashing each control. It does not output anything to the Output window nor the Compiler Errors window, which is odd because even when it would compile before it would output some warnings to the compiler errors window.
So I went into the class I changed and commented out the changes I made. Still will not compile.Also, when I try and go and Debug the movie, it tells me "You cannot debug this SWF because it contains no Actionscript". I've tried researching this problem as well, but it seems that this problem occurs when people are using the Document Class. I am not using a document class. My actionscript is on the frames.This same problem happened for the first time on Monday, but by tinkering with files/settings, it was fixed. That is until yesterday when i made that change.
I'm trying to open a pdf inside flash. I followed a tutorial online but I'm have issues with the compiler. Here's my code:
import flash.html.HTMLLoader;

import flash.html.HTMLWindowCreateOptions;
if( HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK ){

It results in these errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: UIComponent.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method UIComponent.
I've tried to import fl.core.UIComponents in the beginning but that resulted in this error: 1172: Definition fl.core:UIComponent could not be found.
I have a Flash builder project that I am migrating from SDK 4.1.0 to 4.5.1. This has been a relatively easy change (we are using maven for our builds, and were able to get a successful build after updating to the 4.5.1 dependencies).
As said, the project builds fine with maven and flexmojos. The issue is when opening the project in flash builder. The maven project is imported and then set as a flex project by running the maven flexmojos:flexbuilder build command.
The issue lies when certain mx components that are specified with the s: namespace are no longer accepted by the IDE, and result in an error. For example, for the following to compile:
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal" />
<s:State name="disabled" />
</s:states>
s:State must be changed to the mx namespace:
<s:states>
<mx:State name="normal" />
<mx:State name="disabled" />
</s:states>
This is just one example, and only happens for certain spark-namespaced components. Why is this? Why does this compile OK with Flex SDK 4.1.0 but not with Flex SDK 4.5.1, and what is the cause of the necessary namespace change?
Those who had started with AS2.0, mostly complain about AS3.0's restricting warnings and errors displayed at the compile time. Which was almost too weak ( and made to feel breeze ) in AS2.0 .However, recently, i was undergoing a hell time debugging, that made me realise how AS2.0 makes a slip, because of weak compilation.
Code:
class MyClass
{
var abc:Number ;[code].....
in the above trace statement, one would always get undefined ( but no compile time error ) even when i am trying to call getAbc() which is actually a private function.
In flexbuilder 3 for some mxml files I can purposely put in syntax errors and the compiler will seem to compile the specific page(but actually not compile it) or report any errors for that page. Is there any way that you know of to get the compiler to report the errors to me so I can get it to compile the page. I've tried rebuilding all and cleaning the project already.

If I use the code-snippet(as a seperate class called Helicopter.as)below with Flash or Flashdeveloper it works fine.

I use CS4.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code]...........
Both of these are saved in files with the name same as the classes.
Both are saved a folder which also contains an fla file name hello.fla.So,when test the movie(hello.fla),after choosing the document class as WavyBall,I get these errors: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Ball.
Source: var Ball:Ball;
1120: Access of undefined property stage.
Source:Ball.x=stage.stageWidth/2;
1120: Access of undefined property stage.
Source:Ball.y=stage.stageHeight/2;
5000: The class 'WavyBall' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.What is wrong?
I'm using Flash Develop to build an as3 application using the Flex compiler. In the constructor of a particular class I have written the following code
Code:
//constructor
public function Test(par1:int, arr:/*int*/Array = [1, 2]){ <----- compiler shows error here
[code].....
There is probably no way for this but does anyone know a method of excluding certain functions from a build by use of a meta tag and or compiler option?I want to expose some functions for testing but not have them bloat the application on production. I could create separate testing classes and test for a complier directive or option and only load them if necessary but I like the idea of having the test function on the actual object (in the class).

My code currently throws the movieclip after the mouse is release but there is no easing while the mouse button is down.

I'm trying to make a button draggable and also throw it across the screen. I know that I have to use the mouseDown and mouseUp options for the button, but could someone explain a method for allowing me to drag it and then throw it? In other words, it should keep going after mouseUp.

I'm learning AS3 and I'm trying to build a little interaction where I can throw a square off the stage. It just need to stay on the x-axis, to be thrown either to the left or right.I found quite a few tutorials where it involves physics. I don't need anything as complicated as that. With mine, as long as you click down on the square and throw it a bit, doesn'tmatter how hard that throwing action is, the square will always be thrown off the stage, depending on the direction of your mouse.I kind of have the idea in my head that the "throw" feel can be done with tween in a movieclip (since it only need to go to either left or right), which will be activated depending on the direction of the mouse.
