Question

I have an MXML file, which references an external script file for all its event handlers:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx='http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml' layout='absolute'>     <mx:Script source='LoginExample.as' />     <mx:Button id='btnGoodLogin' click='btnGoodLogin_onClick()'  label='Good Login' enabled='true' y='28'/>     <mx:Button id='btnBadLogin' click='btnBadLogin_onClick()'  label='Bad Login' enabled='true' y='28' x='112'/>     <mx:Button id='btnLogout' click='btnLogout_onClick()'  label='Logout' enabled='true' y='28' x='219'/>     <mx:Button id='btnCheck' click='btnCheck_onClick()'  label='Check' enabled='true' y='28' x='325'/>     <mx:Text id='txtResult'  y='58' width='263'/> </mx:Application> 

The external file defines the handlers:

// LoginExample.as import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; function btnGoodLogin_onClick():void {    // ... } function btnBadLogin_onClick():void {   // ... } // etc. for other handlers 

Every single one of these handlers, plus every other function defined in the script, results in a warning message from the compiler:

1084: function ‘btnBadLogin_onClick’ will be scoped to the default namespace: LoginExample: internal. It will not be visible outside of this package. LoginExample/src LoginExample.as line 27 1225162212118 189

What’s the best way to get rid of these warnings?

Answer 1

Stick a private, protected, internal or public before the function declaration:

private function btnBadLogin_onClick():void 

That should do the trick.
