lots of errors with DataSet, didn't modify the code at all...

[mmm..pi..3.14..]

This was a big mystery to me when I first saw it, no idea why I even got it also.

I opened the fla in Flash 8 (had it for a while now, so I know it's not that), did "Control >> Test Movie" just to see where I left off, and I immediately got over 200 errors. I managed to tweak it a little and I got it down to 15 errors, which are below:

Total ActionScript Errors: 15 Reported Errors: 15

I'm not an when it comes to dataset's, but this has got me baffled . Flash is just outputting errors for code that the macromedia developers created, which is obviously a mistake.

To rid out the obvious errors, yes I have a DataSet component in the library, and I have also imported the DataSet class by adding "import mx.data.components.*;" (because "import mx.data.components.DataSet;" does not work...and never has)

Any thoughts??

Thanks

fixed it. Just changed to the Flash 7 player, tested the movie, then switched back to Flash 8 player, which seemed to get rid of the problem.

THANK YOU! I've just upgraded from MX04Pro to 8 last week and have it installed on both my G5 and my iBook. I was working on a new project and wanted to call a window component that I use to keep track of version information as I author my scripts. Its a simple script I've used many times before and when I was working in Flash 8 on the G5 I kept getting Type Mismatch errors. I kept working on the project, commenting out the helper script (can't stop a deadline) and moved the project to my iBook for work offsite. I went back to trying to figure out what was the error last night and after un-commenting the code and checking the syntax not one error was reported. I was about ready to throw my laptop when I ran a google search and found this topic.

Sure enough, going back to the G5 and switching the publish settings to Flash 7, publishing the app then going back to Flash Player 8 fixed the problem. Very odd bug, but thank you for the tip I would never had thought to try that.
