AS3: Include AS file plz help!

[pa-pavel]

Hi hope some one can help me with this.

Im trying to include an .as file but i want the path to that file to have a variable.

public var folderpath:String = "english"

include "F:/folder/folder" + folderpath + "/file.as"

is there a way to do this?

Thx pavel

Include is a compile time directive, you can't use actionscript (which runs after compilation) to affect it.

However, you can use conditional compilation. I can imagine this making sense when you have tons of files at different places and wat to be able to switch between them.

You can define compile time constants in Publish Settings -> ActionScript 3.0 Settings -> Config Constants -> Add as much constants as you need, in this case:

CONFIG::ENGLISH     true

CONFIG::GERMAN     false

CONFIG::ENGLISH function init() { include "en/file.as"; }
CONFIG::GERMAN function init() { include "de/file.as"; }
init();

Result: "en/file.as" gets included.

Conditional compilation enables you to define multiple function or class definitions and with setting the Config constant, you get different results.
