I've been successfully building AS3 projects that import FXG graphics using FlashBuilder 4 for web.
I'm now upgrading to FlashBuilder4.5 so I can build mobile apps but I'm getting an error when I try and using FXGs
The error is
The definition of base class SpriteVisualElement was not found. [Generated code (use -keep to save): Path: data\gold-interface.as, Line: 6, Column: 27]
The line and column number don't seem to relate to anything I can understand...
Can anyone point me in the correct direction to solving this please?
thanks
Kevin
This is an error in generated code. If you go to your project properties, and go to Flex compiler, you can add the
-keep
option to the compilation. This will retain the generated code in the "generated" subfolder of your src folder. From there you can inspect the gold-interface.as file. That's the best I can offer with the information you've given.
There's the potential this is a bug in the Flex compiler (MXML compiler) introduced in 4.5, or an incompatability with FXG (disclaimer: I've never used FXG)

I am using FB 4.6 with SDK Flex 4.0A. I am trying to import and run an Actionscript (3) Project.
When I build the file, I get the error "1172: Definition mx.utils.ObjectUtil could not be found"
When I look in the Utils folder, there is no ObjectUtil.as file. Is this the problem?
ObjectUtil.as does not seem to be standard in the Util folder. https://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/source/browse/trunk/src/com/adobe/utils/?r=54
If you have pure ActionScript project it's normal that class from Flex SDK could not be found. Try to copy this class from SDK to your project. Also copy classes from list of imports if it's necessary.
ObjectUtil is a Flex class; you'll need to import this project as a Flex project rather than a pure Actionscript project.
I have some flex/AS3 code (from a 3rd party) which I must alter to fit my needs. I am constrained to use FlashDevelop due to my budget - which means the 3rd party are unwilling to offer much support (they used FlashBuilder)
The solution is made of approximately 10 "sub" projects, most of which use the spark.swc and spark_rb.swc in their library
These 10 projects are compiled into .swc using the Export SWC plugin. Each "sub" project compiles succesfully.
I then in use those .swc files in a main project.
I have tried every combination of adding the spark.swc and the spark_rb.swc to the "sub" projects library ("include referenced classes", "include completely", "not included") and similarly every combination of adding the "sub" .swcs to the main - and still I get compile errors, when building the main project similar to:
Error: Symbol 'en_US$components_properties' is multiply defined in
C:\flex_sdk_4.1.0.16076A\frameworks\locale\en_US\spark_rb.swc$locale/en_US/components.properties
and C:\Path\To\Folder\SubProject1.swc(en_US$components_properties)
I have not included either spark.swc or spark_rb.swc in the library of the main project.
How should I be using .swc files that share .swc code? Or - am I asking the wrong question, and should be doing something different?
That setup is okay, what you need to do is avoid compiling into your library the classes that are already included in other libraries while exporting them.
I don't know how to do this in Export SWC thing for FlashDevelop, but in Ant it is pretty easy (or even command line if you prefer):
Generate a link-report (-link-report=report.xml) while compiling
your app: It will contain info on what is compiled in you main SFW.
Compile all sub projects with -load-externs=report.xml: this way
the classes already included in the main SFW will not be compiled in
sub export file.

I'm developing AS3 project using Flash Builder 4.5 (also with library Away3D 4.0 and Flex 4.5.1 SDK).
Also, I add my own SWC library, which I compile previously into my project.
It works find if I import class in my SWC library, however I want my swf run in a stand-alone flash player 11.
I follow this tutorial:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-4dd43be212e8f90c222-7ffb.html
Now, I could run my app in a flash player 11, but I got an error in run time:
VerifyError: Error #1014: XXX class could not be found
And XXX is my class in SWC library. How should I fix this?
Merged into code means this, in project properties -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path -> Framework Linkage. Framework lingage has two options Merged into code and RSL. Chose Merged into code. This should solve your problem.
We had this problem when trying to build a project using a Native Extension.
Classes within the NE weren't being found at runtime, but were accessible in Flash Builder.
It turned out that by default the .ANE file wasn't copied to the device.
To fix this, change the following project property:
ActionScript Build Packaging -> Apple iOS -> Native Extensions -> Check 'Package' for the ANE
No idea why it wasn't included by default. When you uncheck 'Package' you get a warning telling you that it may cause runtime issues!
In my case, we had a nested reference to the same library which needed to load before the other library also using it. This fix can be accomplished by unchecking the 'Automatically determine library ordering based on dependencies' and moving the library up in the chain of Build path libraries. Flash Builder was unable to determine the correct order base on dependencies because we had 2 different versions of the same library. The error would only happen during run time.
I had this problem after installing AIR 3.9 and trying to upgrade a project.
It was also saying there was an RSL error, before throwing a succession of #1014 errors.
It worked after I set the textLayout.swc link type in Advanced ActionScript Settings to 'merged into code' instead of the default (RSL)
Hope this helps!
Since I landed on this page searching for this error message and none of the above solutions worked for me, here's how I finally managed to work around it:
It seems that this error happens particularly when you include old libraries that were compiled with the old compiler but compile your app with the new one. Unfortunately the error sometimes fires and when you compile again it doesn't; at other times it works fine in the debug version but then it fails in the release.
What worked for me is to include dummy objects in your main app which are instances of the class that the verify error complains about:
import some.classpath.to.TheClassThatFailsOnVerify;
function YourMainApp(){
var dummy:TheClassThatFailsOnVerify = new TheClassThatFailsOnVerify ();
}
At least in my case the errors only fired for classes that were not used directly in the app but only internally in the swc library code, so by having the dummy objects in the main app I force Flash Builder to include those classes in the compilation.
In some cases you might have to first find the swc that contains the class in question since it's not part of the library swc you use but it's again a library that that swc uses itself.
I'm using FlashDevelop4.0.0 RC1 to create AS3 library project, in which I want to import Away3D library. I follow this tutorial to set up my FD.
http://www.mclelun.com/blog/2011/08/flashdevelop-stage3d-away3d/
However, FD generate error message when I use ExportSWC4.2 plugin to compile the project, I got error message said that
at away3d\materials\methods\TerrainDiffuseMethod_NormalizeKernel.as(10): The definition of base class ByteArrayAsset was not found
Can anyone help me with that? Thanks!
p.s.
I also have issue like the following link
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3401191&group_id=252536&atid=1127375
not sure if it's related to my problem.
Are you downloading the zip package from http://away3d.com/download/ or accessing via SVN / GIT?
http://away3d.com/images/uploads/releases/away3d_4_0_110915.zip
Not sure about their GIT, but I found the SVN repo dated.
I did not see ByteArrayAsset anywhere in the inheritance chain within my version:
away3d.materials.methods.TerrainDiffuseMethod
away3d.materials.methods.BasicDiffuseMethod
away3d.materials.methods.LightingMethodBase
away3d.materials.methods.ShadingMethodBase
mx.core.ByteArrayAsset is an Adobe class.
There's a NormalizeSplats Pixel Bender linkage, but I did not see any Normalize Kernel.
I'd recommend grabbing the Broomstick ZIP package - I had no issues building the SWC with Flash Builder targeting Flash Player 11.
I am facing a really weird issue while trying to use an "swc" file imported from Flash CS5, that I am trying to use in Flex Builder 3 (by converting symbol to "Flex Component"). The errors are coming in files which are not even remotely related to the "swc" file that i am importing.
Now, I know that the automation stuff has come as a part of FB4, but I don't really have an option to migrate to FB4.
I have tried to change the flex sdk settings in Flash CS5 (steps given below), but that has not helped.
Edit-->Preferences-->Actionscript-->"Actionscript 3.0 Settings"-->"Flex SDK Path" (pointing this to flex3.5 sdk instead of Flex4.0 sdk)
I feel that the issue is most probably a compatibility issue b/w Flex 3 and Flex 4, but have not been able to find a workaround for the same. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kapil
Here is the trace:

OK, first, the error: this means that Flash probably generated a class for the symbol you are importing using a certain template, where the template doesn't fit the SDK you are using to compile the project. Specifically, the generated class did not implement the methods listed in the error message. I.e. your framework.swc has a definition of mx.automation:IAutomationObject that has method createAutomationIDPartWithRequiredProperties() (nice name btw), but Flash generated code that reads as
package com.sparsha.view.ui {
import mx.automation:IAutomationObject;
public class SchematicWindow implements IAutomationObject { . . . } }
Since you cannot do anything about Flash not generating the method you need, your only way is to monkeypatch the SDK. I.e. copy the mx/automation/IAutomationObject.as from the SDK sources to the classpath of your project. Remove the conflicting method declaration (this may or may not result in other errors). If it results in further errors, repeat the same procedure for every class that "misbehaves"...
However, monkeypatching will mean that you are no longer able to use framework RSLs, as they will come with the original version. So, I would try to avoid the problem altogether and look for another way of exporting symbols from Flash IDE, for example, by not making them a Flex component. Or, if you really insist on them being a Flex component, then bootstrap the FlexSprite, for example, and assign your Flash symbols the bootstrapped class as the "parent class".
I was also having this problem recently. I would get the errors when I included the flash generated swc in my flex projects lib folder.
I was able to work around the issue by upgrading my flex to the flex 4.5.1.21328A SDK.
Additional Details about my project that might help others:
My swc was generated from Flash Professional CS5.5 and my Flex Project was being used in Flash Builder 4.5.
My swc was published to Flash Player 9 with ActionScript 3.0.
My flex project was using the 3.5.0.12683 SDK.
