Unbalanced Layer Operators?

[josiah29]

Hey,

I am working with PDF and I have a class full of function that I can call to and put in my desired parameters.

Everything is working fine but I can't get it to work to make a new page...

It works if you define the function right in the class and call to it as such

protected var p_pdfDocument: PdfDocument;

p_pdfDocument.newPage();

but when I try to make a custom function to call to in the custom class and call to it I get an error

Error: Unbalanced layer operators.

Any body know how to solve this??

Thanks!

And if anything can anybody at least explain what Unbalanced layer operators means so I can try to solve this problem because I don't even know where to start due to the fact that I don't know what is causing it to throw this error.

Thanks Again!

You probably need to look into documentation to the library you are using. They might have a forum of their own, or a mailing list or some other way to contact the developers. The error text isn't any of the built-in Flash errors - that's something the developers of the library decided to add, and as it usually happens with error messages, they are cryptic and uninformative

To help others to at least recognize your problem, you could at least tell what library are you using - generating PDF files isn't anything very common to do in AS and very few people may know what library you are talking about.

For your level of programming I recommend using AlivePDF instead which has been around for a longer time and has a more developed documentation and examples and support.

Thanks For your replies guys!

I am using Pure PDF and it is actually a project for my job, one of the clients wants a PDF file generated after somebody finishes their course and we are just exploring different options on how to do it so I have been put in charge of building it in Pure PDF.

I think that it is just having a fit about the way I am calling to the newpage() function so I am going to try moving things around a little bit and see if I can get it to work.

Thanks Again!

I finally figured it out!

The problem is I had a function that looked like this

XTC_$PDF_newPage():void
{
p_pdfDocument.newPage();
}

and It didn't like that fact that I was calling to the newPage function inside of another function so all I had to do was put a variable = the p_pdfDocument variable in my class and in the part of the code where I wanted to start a new page just do this

var var_pdfDoc = p_pdfPackage.p_pdfDocument;

var_pdfDoc.newPage();

and It worked like a charm!
Thanks for you recommendations guys

and ASWC i'm sorry for being a jerk to you on one of my other posts you were just trying to help me and I was being rude I was just frustrated trying to figure out my problem and I didn't want more problems pointed out but I know I need to take advice as help not as criticism so thanks for your help!
