I compile a program at the command line, which worked fine yesterday, like this -

> mxmlc AIRVideoPlayer.mxml
Loading configuration file C:\bin\Flex\frameworks\flex-config.xml
C:\bin\Flex\pkproj\AIR\videoPlayer\AIRVideoPlayer. mxml: Error: Unable to locate
specified base class 'mx.core.WindowedApplication' for component class 'AIRVideo
Player'.

But, now it says "Error: Unable to locate specified base class..." All three prototypes I made yesterday are hosed by this error. Everything was perfect, just got started with book, and suddenly a problem. However, seems fixable, since like I said, it worked perfectly yesterday. Any thoughts by anyone? Appreciate the life saver...

Does Rich Tretola's discussion on a similar error here:

help?

Thanks, Jim for the reply. Turns out, I just needed to add the correct parameters to amxmlc to compile the AIR app, such as "-locate-config". Problem fixed.

I have another question about chapter 10, which is on the "Blogger Agent". Apparently, when I download the source code and compile it, I get the following error:

>amxmlc -load-config "c:\bin\flex\frameworks\air-
config.xml" -output BloggerAgent.swf BloggerAgent.mxml
Loading configuration file C:\bin\Flex\frameworks\air-config.xml
C:\bin\Flex\pkproj\AIR\blogger\com\aircmr\bloggera gent\services\BloggerService.a
s(5): col: 43 Error: Definition com.aircmr.bloggeragent.events:BloggerServiceEve
nt could not be found.

import com.aircmr.bloggeragent.events.BloggerServiceEvent ;
^
However, the book's code for the BloggerService.as does not have the fifth liine, e.g. -
"import com.aircmr.bloggeragent.events.BloggerServiceEvent ;".

I guess this is a modification to the original example. If I comment this line out, I can compile and run the AIR app, and I can retrieve my blogs, but I cannot post to my blogger blog. Is there a way I can get this missing BloggerServiceEvent class?

Thanks. Pat

Jim, I just this issue to the Errata section for this book. Since it seems there's a difference between the book and the source code from the web site, the new event class should be offered through the web site. Look forward to hearing back on this issue. Fantastic book! Looking forward to playing with each program - all eleven of them!
