Trying to compile an existing project under MTASC

Hi,

I have a large project that I have been building using the
Macromedia  
compiler, and I am trying to get it to run using MTASC. I am
using  
the ActionScript/MTASC bundle for Textmate on the Mac. I was
able to  
work through most of the compilation errors, but I now have
this one  
and don't know how to fix it:

source/com/laticrete/InstructionsView.as:16: lines 16-82 :
type error  
class not found : mx.core.UIObject

I am compiling with three classpath directives:

      - source/ (my code)
      - /Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/First
Run/Classes/mx/core/  
(this is where UIObject lives
      - /Users/dham/Library/Application
Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/ 
en/Configuration/Classes/com/bjc/ (this is a separate
component library)

I got the Hello World example to work, so I know MTASC is
working. Am  
I declaring my classpaths wrong? Help, help!

Thanks for any advive you can offer,

OK

MTASC : no more coffee break while compiling

I have had the same problems with UI objects, and what
I think it is, is that MTASC can't use certain UI
components, because they are active only if u drag
them into Flash's Library.  A work-around this is
noted on the MTASC.org site.

You just add it to the command line... take the one you have
right
now, and append the class in question to the end. Like
this:

   mtasc -cp... -main Main.as Foo.as Bar.as (and so on)

HTH,

MTASC : no more coffee break while compiling

This is great, thanks! Another thing that was useful was to
use Ant-- 
here is an article that was very useful in this regard:

The author's articles on Beyond the Valley of the Flash are
good too.

Thanks again everyone!

OK
