Here are more details: 1) The code being externalised contains imports, variable declarations, numerous functions and runtime code (approx. 150-250 lines of code) 2) The movieclip is dynamic and created on the fly by the application, putting the movieclip within various other movieclips deep in the display stack 3) Multiple other movieclips (approx. 30) also contain code with imports, variable declarations, functions and runtime code So the question I ask: Is it technically possible to externalise all code in a CS3 FLA document by exporting all code from all timelines and using the include directive?

Re: [Flashcoders] include directive ...
Hi there, I know this is an actionscript list; yet, I hope that the below helps a php newbie out there, as for some reason I see this issue a lot in people's code. An i/nclude/ in most languages means the code will be brought inline, and it will throw an error during compilation if the file is not present; thus, when I first started with php several years back, I didn't realize that if the server gets too many requests, or the file is not present for whatever reason, the server will just run the page without it. I was very lucky to have not followed the many online tutorials suggesting I use the /include/ preprocessor directive when creating password protected areas, and instead decided to read the documentation to ensure I actually understood, at least to some degree, what I was doing. Use: require()- fatal exception if file not available and execution stops require_once()- same as require; yet, checks the rest of the code to ensure it has not already been loaded There are a lot of pages, and password protected areas out there on the web, that are totally hackable because many people just assume that the include directive should work the same in php as it does almost everywhere else.

Re: [Flashcoders] include directive ...
The include directive is just plain text inclusion from an external source. Once included it's as though it were inline. I think that if you are using the timeline and having lots of includes all over the place to replace all of the inline code, it would be a nightmare to work out what's going on. I rarely use the include directive. Better to use classes. Paul - Original Message - From: "SJF" To: Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 2:37 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] include directive ... Looking for clarity on the include directive in a CS3 FLA file. Technically, does anyone know if pound-for-pound, having code on a movieclip's timeline is EXACTLY the same as having it's code in an external .as file and using the include directive? Here are more details: 1) The code being externalised contains imports, variable declarations, numerous functions and runtime code (approx. 150-250 lines of code) 2) The movieclip is dynamic and created on the fly by the application, putting the movieclip within various other movieclips deep in the display stack 3) Multiple other movieclips (approx. 30) also contain code with imports, variable declarations, functions and runtime code So the question I ask: Is it technically possible to externalise all code in a CS3 FLA document by exporting all code from all timelines and using the include directive? Are there issues with instantiation of objects/classes or problems with import paths, etc?
