Do Sub Functions have to be declared as AS3_Val ?

Question

Hi,
If you include additional cpp files which contain sub functions to  the  main function you are calling from AS3 do they have to be declared  as  AS3_Val as well... for example if returnString() itself  called a  function of an instance of a class in another file? Or is it  only the root functions in main that have to be declared as   AS3_Val?
thanks as always...

The main C file:
#include "AS3.h" 
static AS3_Val returnString()
  char* text = "Hello World"; 
  return AS3_String(text); 
int main() 
  AS3_Val cMethod  = AS3_Function( NULL, returnString ); 
  AS3_Val result = AS3_Object( "returnString : AS3ValType" , cMethod); 
  AS3_Release( cMethod ); 
  AS3_LibInit( result ); 
  return 0;

Neither. You need to compile the library code from source with Alchemy together with your application. A library that you (I assume) only have in compiled form is no good. Flash will not allow any bytecode it loads from an swf to run foreign machine code (*), no matter whether it arises from ActionScript or from C via Alchemy.
(*) Except if you do really horrible things like package up the machine code as an ActiveX component and marshal your calls through JavaScript glue somehow, and that is not even remotely close to being a solution for your question anyway.
