Bugs and Issues / Re: Issues / errors importing actionscript 3 sourc

Unfortunately I'm still getting the same error - "Unexpected symbol: namespace"

I did rename the Class Model to "image_global" as you suggested, however it appears that I can't name the namespace after the root, but rather I need to create a package first, which gives me a "image_global.image_global" namespace.  There's no way to edit this, that I can see.

Also, another odd thing, in that article it mentions the ability to right-click a namespace entry, allowing you to "Locate Package in Browser", along with clearing the attribute, however when I right-click nothing happens.

No worries about getting in on the beta, hopefully 7.1 can be released soon so I can test it out

Ahh, thanks Simon.  That makes more sense now, I'll try that.

Currently I'm testing AE for the 30 day trial, to see if I should incorporate it into my workflow, is there a way I can test the beta of 7.1 with a trial code?

Yup, I get the same error when trying to reverse engineer some external classes.  I haven't ever gotten it with "class" or "public" though, just "namespace".

@Simon - I don't quite understand that link you posted.  It deals with Java, which I'm not sure how Java handles namespaces or actionscript 3 handles namespaces.  AS2 doesn't have the namespace keyword.  Perhaps you can help discern if there is a difference with this example:

AS3 sample package:

package com.mode7.core
{
      import com.mode7.events.SlideShowEvent;
      import com.mode7.events.TransitionEvent;
      import flash.display.Sprite;
      import flash.events.Event;

      public class ImageControl extends Sprite
      {
            protected var model:SiteModel;
            protected var controller:SiteController;
            protected var view:SiteView;
            
            public var _WIDTH:int = 0;
            public var _HEIGHT:int = 0;
            
            public function ImageControl()
            {
                  super();
                  [highlight]use namespace[/highlight] image_global;

            }
      }
}

Currently AE is "workable" with its Actionscript 3 integration, however not that good.  I would be happier if the syntax was correct when exporting and importing, and round-tripping would be nice.

Oh, also, a place to put initial "include" code in each package definition.  Currently you can do that only when you export.  It doesn't stay with the package in the diagram.
