Could not resolve * to a component implementation

Hi,

I'm a wee bit stuck on this, and was hoping you might have some input to help me.

I'm getting the "Could not resolve * to a component implementation." error message. However, everything I've read about this via Google hasn't helped my case in the slightest. I presume I'm just missing something obvious, but maybe its something more serious.

So, to solve this problem, I've tried two things, and both work, as far as they take me. First, I added a new component, of the exact same variety, and then copied the contents of the erroring component into it. I replace the viewstack 'page' with the new component (which as near as I can tell is IDENTICAL, but with a different name), and the compiler error goes away.

I can also solve this by simply renaming the original component & letting FB4 refactor for me. The error goes away again. But if I then re-rename back to the original name, I get the compiler error again.

I've tried to clean the project several times, and that doesn't help. Neither does deleting the workspace, and re-importing the project.

I'd really like to understand what I've done wrong here. What am I missing?

Thanks much!

I'm afraid that I don't see that. In flashbuilder 4, I get to "properties"...and after that our paths diverge, no "Flex Library Build Path"I do have a "Flex Build Path" however, but clicking on that does not turn up a "Classes" tab, and quickly browsing for one, I couldn't find it.

searching for "classes" in the little search dialog also turns up nothing.

The original poster is referring to a Flex Library Project. The dialog is intended for you to specify which file should be compiled into the SWC. There would not be a "class list" for a Flex Project; as when creating a SWF you want to put all files in there.

Yes, its a compile time error.As far as I can tell, there are no other components with that name. The namespace is reasonably new (as is the entire project).Hmm..wait, that makes me think of something. I first got this error after removing all the script from OrderEntryView_2_Cart.mxml and placing it into a file OrderEntryView_2_Cart.as which is then sourced into the mxml file. One thing I haven't tried yet, is changing the name of THAT file. I didn't think of changing that file, because, its just an AS file...not a class or anything. Never even crossed my mind that it might conflict

well, I'll be....that was the problem. I renamed the actionscript file, relinked, and Voile! I'm good to go!Thanks for asking a question that pointed me in the right direction!

What I'm not understanding, however, is, why is the compiler picking up the ActionScript 'file' and treating it like a component? There's no class declaration there.

I don't know, but if I had to theorize, there is a reason that paths / filenames must tbe the same as packages / class names. Having two files name the same probably confuses a "pre-file parse" lookup of sorts.
