Could not resolve to a component implementation

I'm using Flex Builder 2 Version 2.0.143459 (Geez, couldn't
you just make it 2.0.144?) and I am running Eclipse version 3.2.1
and I have Flex Charting 2 installed also.
Now, I downloaded the example for "dashboard" that has the
various graphs, and when I go and create these files and copy in
the contents into my eclipse project I get:
Could not resolve <AllRegions> to a component
implementation.
Could not resolve <RegionBreakdown> to a component
implementation.
Could not resolve <RegionDetail> to a component
implementation.
It seems to be something with the namespace? But what is the
solution? I've search these boards and people say uninstall Beta 1,
etc, but I am not running a Beta, AND this is a fresh install for
any Flex at all.
Thanks for any help

OK, I solved the problem -- it was a simple item that got
left out of the top <mx:Application tag
I needed to have xmlns="*" in there, and eclipse does not put
that there when you start a project!
Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

  • Could not resolve to a component implementation error

    I am using the SuperImage component from
    http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/2007/01/23/some-thoughts-on-doubt-on-flex-as-the-best- option-orhow-i-made-my-flex-images-stop-dancing/
    The problem I am having is that when I try to use this
    component in a TileList ItemRenderer, I recieve the error Could not
    resolve <qs:SuperImage> to a component implementation.
    In my Application tag, I use xmlns:qs="qs.controls.*" which
    allows me to use the SuperImage component anywhere else, but the
    error occurs when I use it in a Component.
    I have searched for an answer but could not find anything
    that worked. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong? Below is
    the code where the error occurs.
    <mx:TileList>
    <mx:itemRenderer>
    <mx:Component>
    <mx:VBox>
    <qs:SuperImage/>
    <mx:Label/>
    </mx:VBox>
    </mx:Component>
    </mx:itemRenderer>
    </mx:TileList>
    Thank you for any help.

    Why would Component not be able to find the package, but
    everywhere else in the same file can?
    If I add <qs:SuperImage/> right before the TileList, it
    works correctly. Is there a way to specify the classpath for
    Component specifically? I wasn't able to find a way to do
    that.

  • Could not resolve fx:Script (or fx: Declarations to a component implementation

    Hi,
    I am trying to compile a file into swf using mxmlc in command line.  When it is a very simple mxml, compile is successful. But when the file  contaion the fx name space, I get a compile error like: could not  resolve COMPONENT_NAME to a component implementation.
    I have to be able to do this, without the help of Flash Builder  because I am working on a project where I will need to generate swf  files from mxml files  which we generate the code of.
    I tried it with SDK version 4.0.0.,  version 4.1.0 build 16076 and 4.5.0. build 20967. And I also tried it in 3 different computers. Note: Our notebooks has Windows 7 OS - locale:Turkish.
     I read that this error is specific to some locales like Turkish here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/892431#892431, . But I couldnt find the solution.
    Any suggestions?
    The simple code I am trying to compile is(which is generated by Flash Builder 4 and can be compiled there):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                      xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                      xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
         <fx:Declarations>
              <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
         </fx:Declarations>
    </s:Application>

    Could you please file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira with sample code that fails to compile on a Turkish system, so that we can track this problem and fix it in a future release?

  • Error: Could not resolve s:SolidColor to a component implementation

    So I have a library project and in that project I have a CustomDataGridBackgroundSkin file which is as follows:

    I am simply trying to get an ant task to compile this library to SWC, but I am getting a " Error: Could not resolve <s:SolidColor> to a component implementation" error during compile.  The only way to fix it is to add these lines of code (bold).

    </s:SparkSkin>
    I can also get this error to go away if I put this line in my build.xml file: "<include-sources dir="${src.dir}" includes="*"/>"
    But then I get this error => "[compc] Error: Unsupported file type: C:\dev_projects\features\flex4version\web\OneVoice\src\components.xml"
    components.xml is my manifest file.
    Anyone know what the issue is?  Why would I need the xmlns:spark="mx.graphics.*" namespace when I have xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"?

    Curious. Which version of the Flex SDK are you using?
    Does this work if you try in a brand new project using Flex 4.1 or Flex Hero?

  • Using AIR 15 (10/14/2014): Could not resolve s:ViewNavigator to a component implementation.

    Hi
    I want to update to the newest version of AIR so I can upload my ipa to App Store. Usually I get AIR from the Apache Flex SDK installer, but it only has the beta version of 15.0.0.183. I have instead downloaded the SDK from
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1603494
    (AIR SDK 15 (Compatible with Flex) for Windows)
    but when I compile, I get the following error:
    Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigator> to a component implementation.
    I have tried the following things:
    * Downloaded AIR 15 SDK from Apache Flex and merged the new files into this SDK (same error)
    * Downloaded AIR 15.0.0.183 beta from Apache Flex and merged the new files into this SDK (same error)
    * Downloaded AIR 15.0.0.183 beta from Apache Flex (no error, but I don't know if Apple will accept this version)
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    I think I got it to work. Apparantly there is a secret link called "Download Windows" below the yellow download button which is for Flex users even though I already chose the Flex version on the previous page.

  • Flex in a week: error Could not resolve s:Application to a component implementation

    Hi All, I've seen other posts mentioning this error but seems no fix has come up.
    Was just trying out the example project for Flex in a Week and out of the box am stuck on
    " Could not resolve <s:Application> to a component implementation "
    the namespace and all expected attributes are in the s:Application tag.
    Is there a common fix for using these samples?
    thanks everyone for your consideration.

    Thanks, I am using Flex Builder 3.

  • Error "Could not resolve s:ViewNavigatorApplication to a component implementation...", after overlaying with AIR SDK 13.0

    Just installed FB 4.7, overlayed with AIR SDK 13.0, started FlexMobileProject and I get this error "Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation...", which I can't get rid of. Tried 3-4 times, error stays.
    I overwrote the Flex sdk 4.6.0 with Air SDK 13.0.
    Is this a bug? Please help.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried changing to the airmobile-config.xml but then I got the same error with a different componenet.
    Error: Could not resolve <r:QContainer> to a component implementation. <r:QContainer id="d">
    Could this related to a missing SWC from my build path do you think?

  • Error: Could not resolve s:states to a component implementation.

    So I am trying to setup states on a Flex application I'm building, but it doesn't seem to want to compile. I get this error:
    $ ./build.sh
    Loading configuration file /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4/sdks/4.1.0/frameworks/flex-config.xml
    uploader.mxml(24): Error: Could not resolve <s:states> to a component implementation.
        <s:states>
    Here is my build command nothing special ...
    $ cat ./build.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    mxmlc -output bin/uploader.swf src/uploader.mxml
    I have a class that extends the Spark application like so ...
    package com.uploader.controllers
        import spark.components.Application;
         dynamic public class FlashUploader extends Application
    Then in my main application mxml file I use it like so ...
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <c:FlashUploader xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
        xmlns:v="com.uploader.view"
        xmlns:c="com.uploader.controllers.*"
        minWidth="709" minHeight="400"
        skinClass="com.uploader.skins.UploaderApplicationSkin">
        <fx:Style source="styles.css" />
        <!-- states -->
        <s:states>
            <s:State name="default" />
            <s:State name="startup" />
            <s:State name="uploading" />
            <s:State name="normal" />
        </s:states>
    </c:FlashUploader>
    Now when I try to compile I get the states error. I've found several examples and even made a dummy app just using the spark application and it compiles fine. Not sure if I'm doing anything weird here but the few other flex devs I know don't seem to see anything wrong with what I'm doing that could cause this.

    When you define an object using a namespace you have to use the same namespace for its properties, so you will want to use "<c:states>" instead of "<s:states>" in this case.

  • Error: "Could not resolve [public class] to a component implementation

    Here's another clueless newbie question! :-(
    I define a public class "DynamicTextArea" at the top of the file, and get the compiler error message "Could not resolve <DynamicTextArea> to a component implementation" at the bottom of the same file.
    Clearly, I don't understand something very basic.
    (The code between the commenrted asterisks was originally in a separate package file, which I couldn't get either mxmlc or FlexBuilder to find, so rather than fight that issue now, I moved it into the same file.)

    Gordon:
        As you've noted, there were multiple  misunderstandings.
        Some are due to references in the language which are  different from uses in pre-existing languages.
        Take "name spaces". They look like URLs but they're  not. One of the first errors I made when starting Flex was to try to browse to  http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml. I  figured that it would have some description of the language. But it didn't. In  spite of LOOKING like a URL, it doesn't point to anything; it's really just an  arbitrary magic incantation, like "Open Sesame".
        But, then when I wanted to use my OWN namespace, I  find that it's NOT arbitrary, and does have to point to something, but it's  still not a URL. The "AHA" moment was when Michael told me that "*" means "look  in this directory for a file with the name later named in an import statement,  but not named here". And if the file was in subfolder  "X" I'd have to use "X.*", while if it were a URL I'd use slash instead of  dot, but never an asterisk.
        When the language syntax is so contrary to the  expectations of people coming from a declarative language or web programming  background, I think it is important to explicitly address the differences and  disabuse them of their preconceptions. I think the same should apply to the ways  in which ActionScript differs from ECMAScript.
        Another problem adding to my confusion is the habit  of naming variables with the names of keywords but with capitalization changes.  Not only does that set readers up for subtle "gotchas", but makes it unclear  which names are truly arbitrary, and which are required by the  compiler.
    It might be a good idea to have a convention of an  identifiable format for user variables. Many authors use names like  myButton for that purpose.
        It would also be helpful if printed text could  simulate the syntax coloring of the better editors, or at least have more  in-source comments saying exactly what each line does. (Or both)
        Another aid to understanding would be to provide a  reference to the alternative (MXML or AS) way of doing anything, whenever you  demonstrate one of the ways.
        I find that the emphasis on using FlexBuilder  distracts from a sense of what is really going on behind the scenes. E,g.: If  FlexBuilder automatically sets up the folder structure, I don't learn to do it  myself. I like to work at the code level, so when something goes wrong I don't  have to worry about what level it went wrong at.
        Also, not everyone is willing to drop $600 or $250  BEFORE they've learned whether they even like Flex. Your tutorials are, by  definition, addressed to newcomers who may well not yet have committed to the  expense of FlexBuilder. So more emphasis on using mxmlc would be nice. It would  also be helpful to discuss how to use local servers, like Tomcat, during the  development stage.
        Thanks for asking my opinion. I'm afraid that my 40  years of programming experience may make it harder for me to adapt to this new  style of programming than it would be for a kid with a tabula rasa. But, it  looks like it'll be fun once I get over the hump!

  • Error - Could not resolve s:Script to a component implementation?

    Flex Builder 4.6, 60-day trial version. New  to MXML / AS, but familiar with Java, Javascript, XML, OpenLaszlo. Ooooold, sloooow Vista box.
    I want a bare-bones proof-of-concept class extending <s:Label> with a script responding to a click. Here's what I have:
    Ptile.mxml (in package com.blackbird):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Label xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
        xmlns:comp="com.blackbird.*"
        click="talkToMe()">   
        <s:Script>
            <![CDATA[
            private function talkToMe() : void {
                trace("I'm alive, sarge");
            ]]>   
        </s:Script>
    </s:Label>
    Calling application is :
    TileTest.mxml (also package com.blackbird):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

            <comp:Ptile x="40" y="200" />
        <s:BorderContainer/>
    <s:Application>
    Ptile.mxml won't compile - Error message in the editor is "Could not resolve <s:Script> to a component implementation". I've banged and hammered this around - namespaces, typos and syntax all checked, documentation, Google. No luck. For a bet, I'd guess it's a namespace problem - I'm a little shaky on that - but I'm sugared if I can find it.
    Using the <mx:Script> or <fx:Script> tags also fails.
    I've edited the Eclipse.ini file, as detailed here : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/449232. Nothing.
    Anybody? Thanks.

    There is no s:Script, it will be fx:Script and you will need the new Spark namespaces.

  • FABridge in AIR: Could not resolve fab:FABridge to a component implementation

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to use the FABridge in my HTML-based AIR app to communicate between a swf file and my JavaScript code. Browsing through the forums, it appears that ExternalInterface is not advisable in AIR, so I turned to FABridge instead. Can anyone on this forum advise me on whether FABridge is the correct route to take if I want to communicate betweeen flex and javascript.
    If FABridge is the recommended protocol, can someone please advise on how to include the FABridge.as file as part of a amxmlc compiler option. I've tried the following:
    seanosheas-macbook-pro:bin seanoshea$ ./amxmlc -sp+=${FLEX_3_HOME}/frameworks/javascript/fabridge/src/bridge ${PROJECT_HOME}/GMapsController.mxml
    but I keep getting this error:
    Error: Could not resolve <fab:FABridge> to a component implementation.
    Looking at Mike Chambers' blog post here: http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2005/12/22/compiling-actionscript-3-and-mxml-on-mac-and-l inux/, it looks like the air-config.xml file could be modified to include the FABridge.as file. I've tried modifying the air-config.xml file to point at the fabridge/src/bridge directory, but no luck.
    Sean

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the reply. I was drawn to the FABridge because the documentation said it's useful if:
    "You want to use a rich Flex component in an Ajax application but do not want to write a lot of Flex code. If you wrap the component in a FABridge-enabled stub application, you can script it entirely from JavaScript, including using JavaScript generated remotely by the server."
    The rich Flex component I'm trying to control in my Ajax application is a Google Maps swf. The swf is pretty simple ... it just looks like this:
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

         </div>
    I'm not sure I can include it as a library of classes as you describe in your post.
    It would be really sweet if I could attach an id attribute to the embed tag and be able to call the functionality within the swf file in JavaScript.
    Do you know whether this is possible or not? I'm pretty new to flex (if you guys havent already guessed), so I could be missing something pretty simple.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

  • Problem with child tag - Could not resolve x to a component implementation.

    Hello.
    I am writing some chart component and got a problem setting property via child tag. Property is a custom class.
    My directory structure:

            public var test:MyTest;
    MyTest.as:

            public var x:Number;
    I got this error:
    Error: Could not resolve <oxcharts:test> to a component implementation.
    I guess something wrong with imports. Setting Number property via child tag works just fine.

    I'm gonna give a clerear example, I hope it'll help you better understand what I mean let's say I have a custom class named Login:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:oxcharts="ec.*">
