Verify Error with SampleDataEvent in browser

[Harry_Kunz]

[AS3]

import flash.events.SampleDataEvent;

var data:SampleDataEvent = new SampleDataEvent(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA);

[/AS3]

compile it with Flex 3.6 and run local works, then run in browser, works.

compile it with Flex 4.5.1 and run local works, then run in browser, throws exception:

An ActionScript error has occurred:

VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.events::SampleDataEvent could not be found.

    at global$init()

Is that a known Adobe bug? Are there any workarounds to it?

i created a small project that simply created a SampleDataEvent and displayed sampleDataEvent.toString() on the stage.

Everything worked fine

compiled with Flex 4.5.1.21328

firefox 8.0

flash player WIN 11.1.102.55

Did you try dragging the .swf into a browser and see if it also works?

Edited: oh sorry didn't read you tested on firefox 8. did you have debug version of flash player installed?

[_spoboyle]

yes i dragged it in and yes its a debug version of the flash player

sorry forgot to indicate that i'm using Firefox 7 and Flash Player 10. maybe that is a flash player 10 bug.

Sorry I'm sure you have, but I'd double check your flash player plugin version the SampleDataEvent was added in Flash Player 10

They error suggests you have at least version 10 for your stand alone player (it works)

And at most version 9 installed in firefox (hence the error)

[Harry_Kunz]

my player version is: LNX 10,0,45,2

Tested on another linux machine with FP 10.3.183.11 and it works. so perhaps SampleDataEvent was first introduced in that version or something.. but that should answer my question. thanks!
