Flex Compilier says source-path and package definition mismatch

Question

Here's the issue:

I have three files in the same package: com.foobar

The directory to these files is:

C:..\mylibrary\src\com\foobar\

then inside I have foo.as and bar.as

When I try to run mxmlc C:..\mylibrary\src\com\foobar\foo.as I get the error:

A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure ' ', as the definition's package, 'com.foobar'.

To that I say: it does. The package is com.foobar. The structure goes ../com/foobar/foo.as

I've found a few other forum posts on the web about this error, and it seemed like the user had to make the directory matching the package name, which I already have. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Answer 1

A co-worker helped me for quite some time on this. Turns out I had to use the following command:

(in the directory x which holds \src\com\foobar\foo.as)

mxmlc -compiler.source-path=.\src -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true .\src\com\foobar\foo.as -output .\test.swf

For whatever reason, the -source-path command I tried wasn't satisfactory.

I'm not exactly sure why it works like this, but hey it works now. Hope this helps others that are lost trying to compile an actionscript package.
