[worldKit-dev] errors in compiling source code

[Mikel Maron]

Hi Sige

String.prototype.match is defined in RegExp.as
There is a different way to extend the core classes in MTASC, but I'm not familiar.

If that doesn't seem tenable, then it wouldn't be that hard to just create a new class
with RegExp functionality. Or perhaps it could just be made a function rather than a
class method. The RegExp match function is only used in worldkitUtil, for date parsing.


I'm using Flash 8.


For projections -- this is a bigger effort, worldKit for the most part now assumes EPSG:4326
everywhere. I have sketched out what it would take to adapt worldKit -- nothing too difficult
but would take some careful work. I can provide pointers if you have interest in taking
this on.

Hi Mikel,

Thank you for your response. I tried to fix the errors, but found it
 difficult in some cases. 
For example:

...worldkitUtil.as:61: characters 9-16 : type error String has no field
 match ...

the match function is not defined for String in AS2 lib, so I guess you
 must have used some 
AS3 libraries or you have defined those functions yourself. I am
 wondering what commercial
compiler you have used.

The features in Worldkit are very impressive, especially the image
 loading which is very fast. 
We are developing a project using OpenLaszlo and having difficulty in
 image tiling and caching.
The major problem for us to use Worldkit is the projection (we need to
 use wms with EPSG:27200,
with tilecache ideally).

Thanks again

Sige

MTASC is stricter than the Flash compiler, so you are seeing variable
 type errors, and missing variable declarations. It would be great to
 have these fixed -- most of these can probably be fixed with just some
 casting.

worldkit.fla is the file the Flash compiler loads. It includes all the
 as libraries, and some images used internally. In its actions, it
 simply creates a worldkitMain instance, and calls load. There are ways to
 replicate this stuff in MTASC and the other tools, though I forget the
 specifics.

If these two problems get fixed, we can then have pure open source
 development, with all the advantages.
