5008: Error...

[whytefly]

I get this [5008: the name definition 'Menu' does not reflect the location of this file error. Please change the definition's name inside the file or rename the file.] when I publish.

Can anyone tell me what this means? All the files seem to be named correctly.

cheers,

it means you're trying to us a class named Menu but Menu.as is in a subdirectory that should be reflected in the package name.

[whytefly]

ok, it says that the error is on line 1. do you see a problem here?

Export: dropDownMenu.Menu1

package dropDownMenu

    {

    import flash.display.Sprite;

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    import flash.net.URLLoader;

    import flash.net.URLRequest;

    import flash.events.Event;

    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    import flash.net.navigateToURL;

    import dropDownMenu.Item;

    import caurina.transitions.*;

    import caurina.transitions.properties.ColorShortcuts;

    ColorShortcuts.init();

I think that means you need to put Menu1.as in a folder called "dropDownMenu".

[whytefly]

That's what I thought as well and so I did this. but still the 5008.

that code's not right.  show the code for that class.

public class  Menu extends Sprite

Isn't the compiler looking for the Menu1 class?

[whytefly]

sorry it is supposed to be

public class  Menu1 extends Sprite

    {
