[haXe] "Invalid package : flash9.utils should be flash.utils" ?

[Mark Winterhalder]

Hi,

you never import as flash9.*, always as flash.* -- the distinction is
made through the -swf-version compiler argument. haXe will use the
flash9.* packages if it is set to 9.

So...:

import flash.utils.ByteArray;

class Test {
   public static function main () {
      var foo = new ByteArray();
   }
}

...must be compiled like:

haxe -swf-version 9 ...

HTH,
Mark
