Classes may only be defined in external ActionScript 2.0 class scripts.

i try to use the BitmapExporter 2.2.
i inserted the .as file into the first frame in my fla but
when i try to test movie i get
"Classes may only be defined in external ActionScript 2.0
class scripts."
since i am not expert in extensions - what did i do wrong and
hoe can i properly use this extension?

remove the .as file code from your fla. put the .as file in
the same directory with your flash files. when you publish your
swf, flash will incorporate the .as code in your swf when you use
the new BitmapExporter() statement.

'Basic' external actionscript file/class usage

Hey All,
I'm a bit baffled by something that should, in my humble opinion, be a piece of cake...
The setup is really easy. A simple application with a single textinput, a button and a text component.
When the button is clicked a function is called that sets the text from the inputfield to the text component.
code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            public function click(inputText:String):void {
                outPutTxt.text = inputText;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:TextInput x="10" y="10" id="inputTxt"/>
    <mx:Button x="178" y="10" label="Button" id="Btn" click="{click(inputTxt.text)}"/>
    <mx:Text x="251" y="12" text="Text" id="outPutTxt"/>
</mx:Application>
As I said, really easy.
What I want to do is put the function 'click' into an external actionscript file or class. And still be able to, from within the external file, modify the outPutTxt stuff.
I'm aware that I could create a public bindable variable inside of the external file and then bind the outPutTxt to that variable, but I would really like to be able to 'simply' force the value...
Is that possible? If yes: how plix
If it's not possible, I'd like to know as well! And in that case, how would I then re-use the same instance of a class/file in multiple seperate components? Say I got a 'login' thingie where a user logs in (data stored externally in a seperate actionscript file/class) and I want to re-use that information on other pages... Or is this done automatically?
Any and all comments/answers are higly appreciated!
Pieter

Hey Levancho,
thanks for your answer!! Much appreciated.
However, the code you proposed threw an error...
Errormessage:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property outPutTxt not found on controls.Control and there is no default value.
    at controls::Control/btnClick()[C:\...\FlexTest_03\src\controls\Control.as:13]
    at FlexTest_03/__Btn_click()[C:\...\FlexTest_03\src\FlexTest_03.mxml:11]
So I tried something else where I bind the text in my OutPutTxt to a variable inside of the external class file.
Code:
Class:
package controls
    public class Control
        [Bindable]
        public var outPutText:String = "";
        public function Control()
        public function btnClick(inputText:String):void {
            this.outPutText = inputText;
Mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import controls.Control;
            [Bindable]
            private var control:Control = new Control();
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:TextInput x="10" y="10" id="inputTxt"/>
    <mx:Button x="178" y="10" label="Button" id="Btn" click="{control.btnClick(inputTxt.text)}"/>
    <mx:Text x="251" y="12" id="outPutTxt" text="{control.outPutText}"/>
</mx:Application>
And this basically did what I wanted to do... so I just need to do some major binding between my application and the classes I'll be using for my business logic.
Now for something else entirely...
Is there a way for me to pass the instance of my class between flex components?

ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs.

This is driving me nuts. I have an old AS1 project which I
upgraded to AS2. It uses an include file, settings.as, which has
stuff like this:
settings = new Object();
settings.property = 'some value';
Then I include it on the main timeline like this:
#include "settings.as"
Every time I render, I get a million and one Compile Errors
stating:
"ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or
interface constructs."
But it isn't an ActionScript 2.0 class! It's just a regular
include. How do I avoid the bogus Compile Errors?

Okay, I found why the compiler is getting confused.
In my settings.as file I create an object named 'settings' as
mentioned. Later in my code elsewhere on the timeline, I refer to
settings.property. When Flash sees that, I guess it sees that I
refer to an object 'settings' and that there's a .as file called
'settings' and it erroneously assumes it should be a class or
something. I concluded this because if I change the object or .as
name so that they do not match, the compile errors go away. As far
as I know there's no way to tell the compiler that settings.as is
not a class, despite the fact I'm not telling Flash that it is a
class.

Error "You may only define methods within "CLASS class IMPLEMENTATION"

We have code in LMIGOSMC so that the vendor batch number appears in the MIGO transaction for certain movement types. We have created another, custom movement type in which this functionality should be available so I need to add it to LMIGOSMC. When I go in and try to make the modification I am getting the following error:
"You may only define methods within "CLASS class IMPLEMENTATION ...ENDCLASS".
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
You are not doing anything wrong with regard to the syntax error you are getting. During the syntax check of include program LMIGOSMC, the system is not aware of the CLASS... ENDCLASS statements within the program LMIGOSM4. Try the syntax check at the LMIGOSM4 program level (or even better, at the SAPLMIGO level) and you will see that the error is not given.

How to import classes from an external actionscript file

This is driving me crazy, I've been trying to resolve this on my own for ages, and I've reviewed a lot of different materials, but I still can't seem to just import some external actionscript classes correctly.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 with the Flex 4 SDK on mac osx 10.6
the class I'm trying to import (I'll call it DesiredClass) is in a folder like this
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
within the class itself, the package declaration looks like this (I left all the guts out for clarity):
package com.foreignproject
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class DesiredClass extends Sprite
        public function DesiredClass()
I'm working on a totally different actionscript file at
/Users/username/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4/TestProject/src/TestProject.as
in this file I try to import the DesiredClass:
package
     import com.foreignproject.DesiredClass;
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     public class TestProject extends Sprite
          public function TestProject()
          var neatClass:DesiredClass = new DesiredClass();
And then I try to add the class I want to the source path.
I've tried adding each folder to the source path separately:
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
If I choose the libraries folder or either of the com folders then an error shows up in theTestProject.as file, saying:
Definition com.foreignproject:DesiredClass could not be found.
But f I choose either of the foreignproject folders then an error shows up in theDesiredClass.as file saying:
a file found in a source-path must have the same package structure 'com.foreignproject', as the definition's package, ".
What am I doing wrong? Please help. I bought a book on actionscript, started doing the flex-in-a-week series, read numerous online discussion boards, and I still can't import these classes.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this method is supported anymore but you can give it a try.
If you backed up bookmarks in IE using the following directions, you should be good!
*In IE, "File -> Import and Export -> Export Cookies".
*Open newly exported "cookies.txt" in a text editor and put a period before every line that starts with a domain. So a line starting with <b>altavista.com TRUE / FALSE 1388491200 AV_ALL 1</b> will become <b>.altavista.com TRUE / FALSE 1388491200 AV_ALL 1</b>
*Then, move the "cookies.txt" file to your profile folder.
You can get to the Profile folder two ways
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

Flex 3 vs Flex 4 Preprocessor directives and code behind (External Actionscript file)

I have a framework that I've built that I want to use on Flex3 and Flex4.
I've added pre-processor directives as per this link (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_21.html) and got my Flex 4 code to compile nicely.
I then went to flex 3 and discovered my sub-class of Application wouldn't compile because it was based off of spark. No problem, I'll add in a directive.
Except now my overridden class has duplicate code, specific to which SDK it is using.
No problem, I'll put all of the application class code in an Actionscript file and include it in both Application class declarations for each directive.
It works nicely in Flex 3, so I went to Flex 4, tried to compile and now I'm getting compiler errors saying things such as "The (private|public|protected) attribute may only be used on class property definitions." and "The (private|public|protected) attribute can only be used inside a package.
This same file works in Flex 3, but not in Flex 4.
What can I do to make the code compile in both places?
I'll work on a simple case so I can upload some code.

Nevermind.
I got around this issue by renaming my sub-classed Application to "...Application".
Now I can use a directive to specify an import statement for the extends Application portion rather than specifiing the fully qualified spark.components.Application or mx.core.Application.
Lame - but done.

Why do button functions included in external actionscript not persist across frames?

this one drives me nuts!
if i include an external actionscript file in frame one of my
movie, then [as you'd expect] all the functions, global variables
etc contained in that external AS file are available throughout my
movie - with one notable exception.
if i add a button to the stage - in a frame other than frame
one - whose onRelease handler is defined in the external AS, the
function is not called when the button is clicked - i have to
re-include the external AS file again on the frame in which the
button resides, in order for the buttons function to be called.
anyone know why this is - and if there's a way round it?
how come all the other functions in the AS persist across all
frames and all timelines in the movie, but the button handlers only
seem to be available on the actual frame in which the AS file is
included?

I think you and I are dealing with similar issues and the
root cause is referred to as "scope." The only difference between
your and my problems is that your code is in an external as file
and mine is on the timline. But in both instances, code that should
work doesn't. Robert Reinhardt has covered this in an article at
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=8E4DF.
He is the author of the Flash Actionscript Bible series and so
knows what he is talking about. I have been studying it for an hour
and darn if I can understand the second page of it. I've asked for
help myself about this at

How do I make the drag and drop functions in the

Any help is very much appreciated. ^^

You can reference a external actionscript file in a
<mx:Script source="myScripts.as"/>
I do not use it this way as it is not a vary OO way to do
things.
I will generally create a singleton class (so it is only
instantiated once)
and use it for utility type functions.
For example:
public class UtilityClass
private static var _instance:UtilityClass;
public function UtilityClass()
public static function getInstance():UtilityClass
if(_instance == null)
_instance = new UtilityClass();
return _instance;
public function myFunction():void
Then in a mxml
<mx:list id="list"
dragDrop="UtilityClass.getInstance().myfunction()"

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

Help needed to define a xsd for a java class that has initialization block

Please help.
thx

You will have to write the initilization logic in helper or utility classes.

Calling a function in an external actionscript

Hi. First of all I'd like to put my hands up and say that what I know about Flash is antiquated (I used to work with Flash 4 / 5), and have now been thrown into the deep end, as it were.
I have an application that has a button component. In an external actionscript file there's an event listener that calls a function when this button is pressed. I want to replace the button with a graphic that switches according to whether the button is 'on' or 'off'. I've created a movie clip that cycles back and forth between the on and off states when clicked, but the trouble I'm having is getting it to call the function. I have no idea how to do it, other than to just include function_name(); (or call.function_name();) in the onRelease handler (which doesn't work). Is it possible to use event listners for movie clips (rather than components?) Or else how can I call this function? It should be really simple and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get it to work! The function is declared 'public', by the way...
Oh yes, this is ActionScript 1 (I think...)
Eternal thanks and gratitude to anyone who can help me...

Do you mean to copy it here, or copy it into the fla? I've already tried doing the latter, which doesn't work - the script imports other external as files and I think that that's messing things up. The function only seems to work when it's located in this external file. The function I'm trying to call is
public function toggleAudio() {
       //if (btnAudio.label == "Sound Off") {
       if (_root.audio == "mute" or btnAudio2.label == "Sound Off") {
           trace("toggleAudio AUDIO: Off");
           //btnAudio.label = "Sound On";
           _root.audio = "unmute";
                     // stop recieving audio from in stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnInStream().receiveAudio(false) ;
           // stop sending audio on out stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnOutStream().attachAudio(null);
                 } else {
           trace("toggleAudio AUDIO: On");
           btnAudio2.label = "Sound Off";
           _root.audio = "mute";
                     // start recieving audio from in stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnInStream().receiveAudio(true);
           // start sending audio on out stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnOutStream().attachAudio(Servic eLocator.getInstance().getService("camService").returnMic());
The bit at the beginning where I've commented some stuff out is where I've been trying out different things to get it to work.
For all intents and purposes though the function could be
public function please_work() {
trace("I work!");
All I need is for a way to call this from the main flash movie

Ebflow: Problem defining an external service using WF_EXTSRV

I'm trying to define an external service for the Webflow to use. In transaction WF_EXTSRV I have to provide details of the service. One field requires the Logical System to be nominated. The help says that this entry must be in table TWPURLSVR. In our system this table is empty, and I cannot figure out in customising where to populate this table.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
Anyone also know what may be a better forum to post this message in?
BR,
Tony.

Hi Anthony,
Better forum to post it on is on the BPM & Workflow forum which can be found under SAP NetWeaver. I'm now experiencing the same problem as you. No entry in this table. But when I leave the field blank in WF_EXTSRV, I don't have any problems calling my service from the workflow.
If you already have an answer to your own querstion, could you let me know?
Kind regards!

Hi Anthony,
Couple of things:
1) You may make manual entry in this table.
2) the necessary steps can be found in the documentation: SAP@Web Installation Guide, chapter "Post-Installation Activities".
3) from se80 go to utilities->settings->ITS choose the server where you want to publish or choose all available servers. (note if you dont see the ITS server list in the drop down -ITs may not be configured properly)
I hope these clues help.
