import package form parent

[dogofsteel]

Hi,

I have looked through all previous threads on this, but I can't seem to find a proper answer. I have a folder structure like this:

Projects
----classes
--------myclass.as
----Someproject
--------someproject.fla

the .as package is now:

package Projects.classes

the import call is now:

import Projects.classes.myclass

I get the error "Definition 'Projects.classes.myclass' could not be found"

I know that I could put the folder "classes" into the "Someproject" folder but I make a bunch of different small projects that all reference the same set of packages. So it would be very useful to be able to call them from the parent folder Projects.

any help would be AWESOME!

The correct package here is the empty package. You shouldn't include irrelevant folders in the package path. Instead, set the class search path correctly.

Ok, well I can do empty package....but my question is really "what is the correct class search path".. I thought I had it correct with:

import Projects.classes.myclass

[henke37]

That's not the class search path. The class search path is a compiler setting. It is a list of folders where the compiler will start looking for code. You can set it in the publish settings.
