Question

Working with the BasicView class in Papervision 2.0, I’m getting an error when compiling:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property SPRING through a reference with static type Class.

If I comment out the access of that static property and add the constant value manually, it works as expected:

case 'Spring': //CameraType.SPRING:     _camera = new SpringCamera3D();     _camera.target = DisplayObject3D.ZERO;           break;   

Here’s where it’s being defined in the CameraType class:

/*  * the SPRING constant defines a SpringCamera3D  */ public static var SPRING        :String = 'Spring'; 

Any ideas as to what would cause this to occur? My first guess is a conflict with another static/const var as I’ve run into problems with Actionscript conflicts like that. Perhaps this ASCollada class (also in the PV lib):

public static const DAE_SPRING_ELEMENT:String = 'spring';

Not directly pv3d related but, could help … It sounds more like a conflict between an older version and the newer. Could it happen that you have referenced two concurrent versions/classpath. I’ve had this kind of problem forgetting to remove a SWC containing the same (but slightly different) classes as the imported ones.
