Thanks for taking the time to put this together Dave. Nice to work through and the FlashDevelop templates are excellent.

Hey Alex,

That’s exactly the same setup as I have here, so there isn’t anything wrong with that.

From the error message I am 99% sure that you are creating the classes in the wrong place. Basically that message means that the class package (i.e. the bit after ‘package’ at the beginning of the class) and the directory structure to the file itself don’t match up. Go back to part 2 and carefully go over the steps again and see if you missed something out.

Also be sure that ’src’ is in your classpath.

Good luck!

Dave

I’m using XP and FlashDevelop 3.0.0 Beta 9

It’s not a problem to fix paths, but I have an error when trying to test movie:
Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure ‘org.davekeen.xiffer’, as the definition’s package, ”.
I searched the solving of the problem on internet, but didn’t find good explanation.

That’s very odd. What version of FlashDevelop are you running? Also what platform (XP, Vista)?

Cheers,

Dave

Nope! I have the same problem. All files that I create from your templates have empty package path, just like in Felipe’s example.

Hey Felipe,

I think your problem is that you are creating the ApplicationFacade at the top level of the application instead of in the org.davekeen.xiffer package. To do this navigate to the correct directory in the tree, right click on the ‘xiffer’ folder and then select New ApplicationFacade…

That should automatically fill in all the missing bits with ‘org.davekeen.xiffer’ and you’ll be able to continue with the tutorial

Hi Dave,
i think i installed templates properly, since i see elements in the Add menu in FlashDevelop, but when i create a new SimpleCommand or a new ApplicationFacade, package name is empty and import is incomplete. Is this correct? Am i supposed to add path by hand?

I paste below the first lines of my ApplicationFacade.as:

package
{
import org.puremvc.as3.interfaces.IFacade;
import org.puremvc.as3.patterns.facade.Facade;
import .model.*;
import .view.*;
import .controller.*;

Thanks

Hey Jose,

Oops, that was a typo - I meant to write ‘controller’ instead of ‘command’. That’s now corrected. Well spotted

Dave
