I've ran into 2 roadblocks, 1 confirmed, 1 unconfirmed and extremely hard to re-produce.
1. Symbol names can be a maximum of 64 characters. Flex utilizes a custom numbering scheme upon compile, so your physical views, say: com.company.yourapp.view.controls.YourControl; Would become: __Packages.342809923.com.company.yourapp.view.controls.YourControl; So, watch for that. I can't remember how long the numbers are, but if you add that to the word "__Packages", then subtract that number from your classpath, and that'll tell you if you are ok or not. Code to check: var s = "__Packages.342809923.com.company.yourapp.view.controls.YourControl"; trace(s.length); 2. Some package depths are too long. Reproducing this was impossible, because it was dependent on how many pakcages (folders) you had. I was finding that a class wasn't working if it was longer than 72 characters... but if I moved it up one package; from controls to view lets say, I could get away with 84. So, if I were you, I'd only care about #1, and forget about #2 unless you're seeing crazy stuff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 2:56 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Nesting Instinct on overload? How far can you nest custom components? IOW including one in another. Right now im looking at like 5 or 6 layers Main App File window1 - file .as file window2 - file .as file window3 - file .as file tab1 - file .as file window1 viewstack1 - file .as file viewstack2 - file .as file viewstack3 - file .as file window2 - file .as file window3 tab2 - file .as file tab1 - file .as file accordian1 - file .as file accordian2 - file .as file viewstack1 - file .as file viewstack2 - file .as file viewstack3 - file .as file viewstack4 - file .as file viewstack5 - file .as file tab2 - file .as file tab3 - file .as file tab4 - file .as file Yes, this is a very very very complex app that I need to be highly expandable but still easy to work on the code, so I was breaking it up into lots of small files. But then I started getting errors saying it can't read .as file this or that and I know 100% the file is there because I used the "browse" mode to select it. Have I gone too bonkers for Flex's like?
