YAFB (Yet Another Flash Bug)
I finished writing a new ActionScript class to control my custom slide bars and tried to compile it. I got the following error:
The name of this class, 'Slider', conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded, 'Slider'.I have just spent another hour going over it trying to find what could possibly be wrong. I only loaded it once, and I couldn't find an in-built class called Slider, so what else could it be?
Well, apparently, it's the timestamp of my class definition file. My desktop clock is set at 09:12, my server clock is set at 10:16, and Flash complains. If I set my desktop clock a couple of hours into the future, it compiles just fine. Serves me right for not getting round to fixing my timeserver, I know, but this would cause problems with timezones too.
This product is a joke. And no, it it's not the latest version, but I'm not paying another £400 to upgrade purely to fix the buggy product I have already paid £400 for. They probably introduced a whole bunch more problems anyway.
After developing in Flash for 10 months, I am seriously wishing I had decided to do this in Java. And you all know how much I hate Java.
