Question

Question: I get an annoying error:
I try to use the type Size in the below actionscript code.
But I always get this error:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Size.

But no matter what I try, it seems to break when I add

public function get Size():Size

Somehow it doesn’t like the return type Size, but what am I doing wrong ?

package BaseTypes
{
    public class StockData 
    {
        private var size:Size;
        public function get Size():Size
        {
            return this.size;
        }
        public function set Size(value:Size):void
        {
            this.size = value;
        }
    } // End Class
}// End Package

I have the bellow code in folder BaseTypes, and it is in the AS3 class path.

package BaseTypes
{
    public class Size  
    {
        private var width:Number;
        private var height:Number;
        public function Size(width:Number, height:Number)
        {
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;
        }
        public function get Width():Number
        {
            return this.width;
        }
        public function set Width(value:Number):void
        {
            this.width = value;
        }
        public function get Height():Number
        {
            return this.height;
        }
        public function set Height(value:Number):void
        {
            this.height = value;
        }
        public function toString():String
        {
            return "{width: " +this.width.toString()+ " height: " +this.height.toString() + "}";
        }
    } // End Class
} // End package

You have named your getter function the same as the class you imported, I think this is the source of your error.

in your StockData class you have the definition

public function get Size():Size

you should rename “Size” to either “size” or something that is not the same name as the class you imported.
