Flash 8 IDE problem
Friday, December 8th, 2006I don’t know what is this, but from now on my mate has this errors when trying to publish movie or test movie. Nothing helps, delete aso files and so on… I think just reinstallation of Flash will help. Has anyone seen this before?
**Error** C:\Documents and Settings\Developer\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\FP8\String.as: Line 7: The class being compiled, 'FP8.String', does not match the class that was imported, 'String'.
{

{

Have not seen it but I can reproduce it by importing:-
import fp8.*;
var x:Number = 10;
It gives error but little reverse of what you get. I think, classpath is messed up. Check out if $(LocalData)/Classes is in place and what other paths are there.
some other package might be interfering things…

there is not same error. I’ve tried it and it reports this
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 2: The class or interface ‘fp8.Number’ could not be loaded.
var x:Number = 10;

I’ve had that error before. I was importing classes into a ‘main.as’ and using the #include directive to include main.as into Flash.That file would throw up about 80 errors - all the same as you posted. I was able to fix it by:
renaming the file in the directory where it lives to something like ‘xmain.as’ (an not changing it in Flash)
recompile my movie - that gives an error that main.as cannot be found.
rename ‘xmain.as’ to ‘main.as’
recompile the movie again.
After that, whatever the problem was, was gone.
That’s the only project I ever worked on in Flash where that ever happened and I am wondering if it has something to do with dates (not the Date object). I was having to test past and future dates and it would happen after I had changed the system date a few times. Not sure but I hope this helps. That was a very frustrating experience.

It does seem to be a problem with the system date and network drives, although I haven’t experienced it with Flash intrinsic classes.
You can try setting your system’s clock one day or hours into the future, saving any external classes, and recompiling your application. Close Flash, and fix your system’s clock. The problem should be gone, at least for a while.
Hope that helps.

Sounds similar to this issue:

The solution seems to be to move to Hawaii (or resave all your class files so they have the same time stamp.)

Isn’t this problem solved by selected from the menu “Control” -> “Delete ASO Files” and then republish/recompile your project?

It did happen to me once.
Something related with bytecode files…
I was on a deadline, and solved it by renaming all classes involved in the project.
DIdn’t happen again so I haven’t taken any further investigation…
Try renaming the classes, and live happily ever after
