How to save library symbols' class files in packages that are not the default package?

[Guest]

Hi,

I perform the following in Flash CS5 with Flash Builder 4

1) Create a new library symbol.

2) Do a RightClick->Properties on the new symbol

3) Check the options for "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in frame 1".

4) I write a new name for my class "Class1" and click on the pencil icon "edit class definition" to edit the class.

At this point my FlashBuilder 4 takes over and opens the "New ActionScript" dialog.

4) I then click on Package-Browse to select a package e.g. com.mycompany.myfiles as the new class destination.

The as file is created as com.mycompany.myfiles/Class1.as as everything seems just fine.

5) I close the ActionScript file and back in Flash CS5 I RightClick on the symbol and select "Edit Class".

At this time, FB4 suggests again to create the file, ignoring the fact that I already created it before.

Do you know of a way I can make Flash CS5 remember where I created the file?

Thanks.

I'm using FB 4.0.1 and CS5, this usecase seems to work for me. I also deleted the project and checked, it asked me to create the project and file again, but when the file was already there it did not ask.

Is there any other step that was there when you encountered this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

I didn't remove the project or delete any of the files.

All I did was create the class file under a package that is not the default package. Then when I clicked on the Flash symbol's "Edit Class" It asked me again to create the same class file.

Only if I create the class in the default package, it won't ask me to recreate it again.

Yes got it, filed http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-27193 for you to track.

The workaround is to set the package of the class in the symbol properties, that way it will remember it. For example enter the class name as com.mycompany.myfiles.Class1 in the symbol properties for the class name.
