Actionscript package naming and directory structure

Question

Hello all,
I've got some actionscript which begins with:
package obfus_plugin{
import org.flowplayer.model.Plugin;
import org.flowplayer.util.Arrange;
import org.flowplayer.model.PluginModel;
import org.flowplayer.view.Flowplayer;
public class obfus extends Sprite implements Plugin {

and when I try to publish, I get the error:

5001: The name of package 'obfus_plugin' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:\flowplayer\url_secure\src\actionscript\obfus_plugin\obfus.as

the location of the .as file is:

C:\flowplayer\url_secure\src\actionscript\obfus_plugin\obfus_plugin.as

In my classpaths I have:

C:\flowplayer\url_secure\src\actionscript\obfus_plugin  

What am I doing wrong? Did I miss a directory somewhere? All help is GREATLY appreciated.

Answer 1

Have you tried moving the file to the suggested location?

`C:\Documents and Settings\***\My Documents\My Dropbox\Public\obfus_plugin\obfus_plugin.as`

It's telling you that's where it should be placed. From the classpath root, the actionscript file should live in a nest of folders that reflects the package name.

Say you have an actionscript file with class in package X.Y.Z, the file should live in folder %classpath%\X\Y\Z

Answer 2

The directory structure should match the package structure, with classpath as it's root.

package{} matches %classpath%.

package A{} matches %classpath%/A.

So, instead of:

C:\flowplayer\url_secure\src\actionscript\obfus_plugin

You should use, as classpath:

C:\flowplayer\url_secure\src\actionscript

or place the file in a new folder:

C:\flowplayer\url_secure\src\actionscript\obfus_plugin\obfus_plugin

or even use the default package in the .as file:

package {
    import [...]
}
