Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ImportExportConfiguration

[gauravk_pandey]

Hi,

     I am using text layout framework and getting an error type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ImportExportConfiguration. I am using Flex Builder 3 , Flex SDK version flex_sdk_4.0.0.10485 and flash player 10.0.12 , Surprisingly this error not located in my project workspace.

In my code i uses

import flashx.textLayout.container.DisplayObjectContainerController;

Help

Thanks

You are using an older version of our code. I suggest you update to the latest code, see: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Flex+SDK.

You don't need to use the Flex Framework, but it comes with the latest textLayout libraries and source code.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Robin,

    I have solved the problem but fall under the new problem what i did used the sdk version flex_sdk_4.0.0.6175 and it shows a new prblem Severity and Description    Path    Resource    Location    Creation Time    Id
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: [flashx.textLayout.elements]::ITextLineCreator.      

plese help me

Thanks and regards ,

Can you tell me what is the code you are trying to run? You have TLF, and you are trying to run it with some code. Can you tell me what that code is? Does it work with a very simple example? ITextLineCreator is an old API, that is not present in the new code. But if you are trying to run TLF with some old example code, that could explain your difficulty.

Thanks,

Thanks Robin fro ur help i got the error i was using the old API now i have

solved this but can there is any document that enlist the API for the new

TLF changes

[robin_briggs]

Glad you got it working!

If you build the build.xml that comes with TLF, it will build the docs for you. You can do this using Ant. The docs for TLF are not posted online yet.

Thanks!

You can also get the documentation for a particular Flex SDK 4 build under the "Language Reference" links here:

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4

This will include the docs for the TLF build that SDK uses.

Hi Gaurav,

How were you able to solve that problem... "" 1046: Type was not found...:ImportExportConfiguration""

I want to shift my project from flex SDK 3.5 to 4.0 and m facing this error.

Were you earlier working in flex 3.5.

Help

Hi Nikita,

Sry for the delayed response, there is two possibility for that:

1. If you using Flex  Builder

•   Then put your sdk uncompressed folder in your flex builder sdk/ directory path, do one thing also first remove your flex sdk 3.5 from /sdk folder of flex bulder refrenced your flex 4 sdk as a default sdk and cleane your Flex builder from run , and write following command:

      path of your flex bulder exe //pro file/adobe... put a space and write -cleane option

• Also check your fash player it must target flash player 10.
• go to adobe site how to extrenally point flash player 10, since there is a good tutorial there so i wont write it.

After error removed put back your removed sdk 3.5 to it's original location

2. If you using flash builder 4 then no need to do all the above exercise just change the Flex sdk version(if point flex sdk 3.5 ) to sdk 4.0.

Hope above solve your problem.

FAny further query or suggestion is most welcome

like:

Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: spinner

Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: winprogress

Is any one know why this happen ?

I don't think these are TLF errors. Can you tell me what you're trying to build?

Thanks,

I have same problem with can't use  TextConverter.importToFlow(...) , it show "type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ImportExportConfiguration".My lib have a textLayout.swc component and I use it,my code as flow :

import .... ;

public class SimpleEditor extends MovieClip
{

  private var _textFlow:TextFlow;
     

  public function SimpleEditor ()
  {

    
   var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
   loader.load (new URLRequest("SimpleText.xml"));
   loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
   }

  //
  private function loadCompleteHandler (e:Event):void
  {
  _textFlow = TextConverter.importToFlow( e.target.data,TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);
  }

}

why ? if I delete  textLayout.swc  from my lib, it can work ! 

[gauravk_pandey]

hi,

What I am guseeyou uses Flex4 sdk with your application and your lib folder contain older version of textlayout.swc. Once you removed this swc from lib folder your code will point textlayout.swc from Flex 4 sdk folder, and when you have older version of textlayout.swc in your lib folder your code will target to that swc .

Hope you get the answer .Happy programming with TextLayoutFramework.

It still can't work ! I use Flash CS5 and sdk is 4.0.In publish setting it have textLayout.swc and flex.swc form path of lib.When I add  TextConverter.export(..),it show Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: importExportConfiguration.My code as flow :

Did the problem had old version of flex sdk or not import lib or textLayout component not suppose TextConverter.export() class ? please help me, I have source code to download test.My e-mail : hsu.shan.chuang@gmail.com ,tks !
