Solution

  • It depends on the qualified class name of test.as. As your question suggests, it is fr.lab.test. In this case, you need to add loyui/src to the Flex classpath. The classpath lists all the directiories that should be searched for classes, whenever the compiler finds an unknown class. How to set this classpath depends on the development environment you're in, just google the name of your IDE and classpath and you should get what you are looking for.

    Edit In case you want a more portable solution, you can pack loyui/src into an SWC library and easily reuse it in multiple projects.
