Hey guys,
First time mailing the group. Let me introduce myself. I've been working on
Flex 3.2 for the past 6 years, and I've only recently upgraded my project to
Flex 4.6.
I'm having difficulty in two areas and I've Googled the hell out of this but
all the web links that seem to have the answers, are dead. Serves me right for
upgrading 6 years after Flex 4 was introduced.
Anyway, I'm hoping some of you might have the answer to my issues.
Issue 1:
I have a main Flex project for my application. I have a separate Flex project
(a "style" project) that has all the style definitions and assets in it. The
.css file is located under src/skin folder inside this style project. The
problem is that I'm not able to 'ClassReference' my skin class. The compiler
keeps throwing an error saying that the class is not found. Here is my sample:
custom|CustomItemRendererComponent
{
skinClass:
ClassReference("skin.sparkSkins.SkinForCustomItemRendererComponent");
}
If I move my .css file directly under the src folder, then the compiler seems
to find the class. If it is under src/skin, this breaks. Can someone tell me if
there is a workaround for this without having to move the .css file directly
under the src folder?
Issue 2:
A skin class is inside a separate Flex project (a "style" project as mentioned
above). I am unable to declare the HostComponent inside the skin class if this
is a custom component belonging to the main Flex project. Here is my sample:
[HostComponent("custom.itemRenderers.CustomItemRendererComponent")]
The CustomItemRendererComponent is defined inside the main Flex Project. So, I
thought that this was the reason the compiler is not able to find the class.
So, I linked the entire main Flex project in the Source Path of my style
project. But this still does not get rid of the error. I even get the class in
the code hinting, but the compiler doesn't see the class. The error goes away
only if I physically move the skin class somewhere inside the style project.
This is not feasible unfortunately. Can someone help please? Is there a way I
can fix the compiler error or maybe tell the compiler to ignore this "error" in
any way? FYI, until this error goes away, I'm forced to change the
HostComponent to "spark.components.SkinnableContainer" (super class of
CustomItemRendererComponent). I would prefer to use the actual custom component
class though.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Cheers,
David Frank
