Errors in compilation

[billywhy]

I'm a newbie in Flash.
I met some compilation errors and hope one can help.

I used Flash 8 professional.
My FLA file involves a few AS files e.g. btn_Down.as. <--- Please see the code attached
When I compiled, all the errors are concerning "ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs."
Please help. Thanks.

Here are the errors:

How are you *including* the AS files?

[kglad]

do you have a btn_Down class? or are you using an include statement to load your as file?

[lipi_artist]

Randomly out of nowhere the type tool stops working. It's not a particular set of steps that trigger it but anything randomly makes the type tool freeze. I have to restart the application all over again to make it work - which is as annoying as it sounds.

Please provide some help or support regarding this.

Thanks,

Hi, try uninstalling and installing Adobe XD again.

[andre_fauri]

I'm having this same problem. I tried to reinstall and it didn't work.

The issue is really annoying, it's happening repeatedly and I have to close and reopen XD over and over. =/

[Preran]

Let us know if the above solution worked, or if you still need assistance.

Thanks,

Preran

[andre_fauri]

Preran, I don't understand. The issue on type tool I and lipi_artist were talking about is in Adobe XD. The conversation was moved to a Flash discussion from 2006? I tried to understand the conversation to see if there is a relation and don't see how to use it on solving type issue on XD.

[billywhy]

Attached is my btn_Down.as file.
I used an include statement to load it.

[kglad]

show your include statement. (and you can't attach files here.)

[billywhy]

#include "btn_Down.as"

[kglad]

there's something other than the code you've posted here causing that problem. are you sure the code for btn_Down.as is accurately posted here?

is it possible that you have two btn_Down.as files in two different directories? is your flash html and swf in the same folder? if they are in different folders, are there two different btn_Down.as files in those folders?

if you're still having problems after reading the above, post a link to your fla and your .as file.

[billywhy]

Thanks for your reply.

I'm sure the code is correct and there is no other btn_Down.as.

Is there any setting which I may neglect?

[AnandMX]

I tried this code and wont find any error. it may that your .fla file has corrupted.
// --- btn_Down .. ------------------------------------------------------------

_root.val = 1;
_root.ovr(_root.Val);

var pageWidth = 1320;
var pageHeight = 938;
var cnt:Number = 0;

var ratioX:Number = 0.12;
var ratioY:Number = 0.12;

_root.mouseSensor = true;
_root.goDest = false;

this.btn_Down.onEnterFrame = function () {
trace("working ")
cnt++;
if(cnt%2 == 0) { // %翱骯濠蒂 檜辨 enterFrame擊 fps / 4
if (_root.mouseSensor) {
destX = pageWidth / 2 + (pageWidth / 2 - _xmouse) * ratioX;
destY = pageHeight / 1.5 + (pageHeight / 2 - _ymouse) * ratioY;

dX = destX - this._x;
dY = destY - this._y;
this._x = this._x + dX * 0.1;
this._y = this._y + dY * 0.1;
}

if (_root.goDest) {
dX = destX - this._x;
dY = destY - this._y;
if (Math.abs(Math.round(dX)) == 0 && Math.abs(Math.round(dY)) == 0) {
_root.goDest = false;
}
this._x = this._x + dX * 0.200000;
this._y = this._y + dY * 0.200000;
}
}
};

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make sure your "btn_Down" is a movieClip and you are not using ";"
after #include "btn_Down.as"

[billywhy]

Thanks for the replies from all of you.

To be honest, all the FLA and AS are from someone.
I'm sure the they are correct and it needs not to change anymore.

However, I need to edit some animation in the flash.
Unfortunately, before editing, I tried to compile but I failed.

Because I can't contact with that person anymore, I need to work out myself.

It seems something other than the FLA and AS which cause the errors.
Is there any procedures in compilation which I may neglect?

[kglad]

post a link to your .as and .fla files.
