Unknown class in MXML file

Question

I am taking over a Flex / MXML project for work. The last programmer lost the original source code so I ran it through a decompiler. In the main MXML file there are 3 lines that return errors.

IMPORT COM.TURBO.*

I've never heard of this and I can't seem to find anything on it. I assume its some kind of plug-in. Does anyone know what it is?

Answer 1

Every developper can define his own package, insert in the packages some mxml or as classes and import the class everywhere into code. Normally, the packagenames should be unique and a inoffical rule says, named your package with your own url prefix (com.mycompany.MyOwnClassInMXML) It can be a simple helperclass for whatever, convert 5 numbers in a array.

There are many decompiler with different power. so try another or try to find out, what he did with this class.

I have no knowledge, how complex your project is. Is the class with the error an mxml? If yes, at the top, you should find a namespace like

xmlns:whatever="com.turbo.*" 

As a result, everywhere in your code, some components start with instead of or . Try to find out for what purpose the component with own prefix is and comment it out, if possible.
