I’m trying to import someone else’s Flex project folder into Flash Builder 4.5, and I’m having some problems with the paths. When I load everything up, I’m getting errors that say that the “Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant” for all the .as files living in src. It looks like based on the path settings, it cannot find those files.

So I went to the Package > Properties and tried to add the src folder to the Source Path list, but no luck there either.

One curious thing is that when I look at the error at the bottom, I see Path is set to /ProjectName/src/. Is that an absolute path? Certainly it wouldn’t find them if it were.

Can anyone shed some light on getting my Flex project to find my src folder?

Thanks,

Whit

    /ProjectName/foo/bar in Flash Builder would be resolved to the project’s foo/bar directory, therefore it is not an absolute path.

    The project you experience may also have to do with the libraries (SWCs) referenced by your project are not properly referenced. You may go to Project -> Properties -> Flex Build Path -> Library path (tab) and add reference to libraries similar to the fashion you add the Source Path.

    Additionally, when source path is correctly added, you would also notice a “virtual folder” appearing in the referencing project, which allows you to directly load and edit the source code of the referenced project.
