First... let me state that EVERY SINGLE STATEMENT REFERENCING THIS CLASS, ET. AL., is FULLY introspective when in the editor. It will add the import statement if I haven't already added it. It will autocomplete, etc. Nothing is missing or misspelled, and the editor is fully aware that this class exists and how it is used. Doing a docs lookup on any of the terms (in the edit window) brings up the correct API reference in the help window. It's only the compiler/runtime that complains, and usually, only the runtime. I've cleaned and done every other little 'trick' I know of to overcome stupid errors that aren't errors.
Based on web searches for this type of error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable flash.display::PNGEncoderOptions is not defined.
and
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::PNGEncoderOptions could not be found.
...I moved my actionscript code from the MXML component into an external class. The only 'hint' I found from other contributors (and all on far older versions of the API) was that classes were not being declared public, so, even though I was using no class, but rather actionscript in a <fx:Script entity, I went ahead and created an external class. To wit:
[actionscript]
package classes
{
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.PNGEncoderOptions;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
public class PngEncoder
{
public function PngEncoder(bmpData:BitmapData, png:ByteArray, fast:Boolean)
{
bmpData.encode(new Rectangle(0, 0, bmpData.width, bmpData.height), new flash.display.PNGEncoderOptions(fast), png);
}
}
}
[/actionscript]
This still provokes the following:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable flash.display::PNGEncoderOptions is not defined.
at classes::PngEncoder()[D:\Dropbox\Work\PictureTools-OnTheMove\PictureT ools-OnTheMove-MakeIt\src\classes\PngEncoder.as:12]
at components::ChoosePictureButton/choosePictureLightboxClosed()[D:\Drop box\Work\PictureTools-OnTheMove\PictureTools-OnTheMove-MakeIt\src\comp onents\ChoosePictureButton.mxml:165]
It makes no difference what import statements I use.
It makes no difference what form of reference I make, fully qualified "new flash.display.PNGEncoderOptions(..." or simply "new PNGEncoderOptions(..."
It makes no difference if I create a public or private or protected var of type PNGEncoderOptions.
It makes no difference if I instantiate and assign PNGEncoderOptions in the same statement where I declare the variable above the class, or if I instantiate it within the class constructor.
It makes no difference which boolean value I pass to the PNGEncoderOptions constructor when instantiating.
It makes no difference if I use the JPGEncoderOptions class instead.
