[Flashcoders] Strange errors upon compile; inconsistent errors

2006-04-02 Thread Ramon Miguel M. Tayag

This is not the strange error, but strange occurence:

**Error** D:\flashResources\ASClasses\net\quirkworks\saatchi\PopupLoader.as:
Line 37: The property being referenced does not have the static
attribute.
Draw.drawFill(mc.mcCatcher, new Point(0, 0), new Point(800,
600), 0, 0, true);

At first the errors appeared on a colleague's computer but not on
mine.  The classpath was the same, the set of classes were exactly the
same, the fla and the actionscript file the fla #included were the
same.  (I know they were the same because I had just sent it).

Then, my colleague removed and added the custom classpath, and got
these strange errors:

**Warning** Symbol=mc.generalLoader, layer=Layer 4, frame=1:Line 1:
The file 'toplevel.as', which is required for typechecking
ActionScript 2.0, could not be found. Please make sure the directory
'$(LocalData)/Classes' is listed in the global classpath of the
ActionScript Preferences.
 mcCatcher.onRelease = function(){}

**Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=as, frame=1:Line 1: The file
'toplevel.as', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 2.0,
could not be found. Please make sure the directory
'$(LocalData)/Classes' is listed in the global classpath of the
ActionScript Preferences.
 #include 0_main.as

**Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=tooltip, frame=1:Line 1: The file
'toplevel.as', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 2.0,
could not be found. Please make sure the directory
'$(LocalData)/Classes' is listed in the global classpath of the
ActionScript Preferences.


Then, he removed and added the $(LocalData)/Classes and the old errors
appeared again.

This isn't the first time 2 IDEs displayed inconsistent errors
compiling the same things.

I'm not really sure there's an answer here.  My colleague uninstalled
and reinstalled the IDE and it's working fine now.  It's just pretty
annoying to find out there can be errors that appear on one computer
and not the other by something not caused by the code.  What if there
wasn't another computer to confirm this?  Would be hours of figuring
out .. nothing!  Hehe.

Thanks!

Hi,

Whatever you want to get a bug-free player : )

I came across this

doing some reading about Sun's Mustang. What caught my attention was
the mention of a contest run by sun to find errors in regression tests in
the new Java. Now I might have taken this entirely out of context but it
gave me an idea that I wanted to throw out there and see if anybody from
Adobe thinks it's worth catching.

We have the Flex Derby -right? How about an 8.5 player bug-finding
competition. We all know that it's very important to the face of the
Player 8.5 to be as close to flawless as possible. I personally feel that
the tendency now is to toy with the new features etc. How about motivating
people to make sure that legacy content works and if it doesn't finding out
where it fails?

Okay- that's it for my idea. If it's dumb then ignore or flame me. I've
got my asbestos on...but it's worth a thought.
