More tutorial problems

Question

In another tutorial I get the following compile error:
Error /tutorials/tutorial2.mxml
A file found in an source-path must have the same package
structure '',
as the definition's package, 'samples.contact'.
There is a file called Contact.as, but I don't know where it
should be
located to be in a flex classpath.
The file tutorial2.mxml contains the line:
import samples.contact.Contact;
Anybody know how to solve this problem?

Yes you are right I think (can't be absolutely certain as I
still have
an error). Adding the mxml files to a correctly defined
project (see
below) gets rid of the error I had before.
I am confused though about the difference between a project
and a package.
I have found that if I use the same name for an mxml file in
different
projects, any errors that occur in either file are all shown
in the
problems panel when either file is selected, and neither will
run. Both
generate a page can't be found error e.g. tutorial1.html
cannot be found
(followed by the location) whereas I can see that this file
definitely
does exist at this location. Deleting either of the files
allows the
other to run correctly.
In the project definition, I had to change from the default
server
(default\flex) to default\samples - I think this is what the
tutorial
writer means when he talks about a 'samples web application'.
For anyone else trying to follow these tutorials:
Put the Contact.as file into a contact folder in the
default\samples
directory and then in that file and any other mxml file where
it is
mentioned, change samples.contact.Contact to just
contact.Contact.
However, I still have an error:
In the completed1.mxml file downloaded from MM, there is the
following code:
public function changeHandler(event:ObjectEvent)
log.text = noteProxy.noteText;
This generates the error:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
ObjectEvent
I think this tutorial was written for an earlier beta and has
not been
amended to reflect the changes in later betas. It looks as
though there
is no longer a type called ObjectEvent in beta3. Does anyone
know what
this should be changed to?
