I use FlashDevelop - I am working on code in ActionScript 3. I started working on a 72hour project for Ludum dare and afterwards decided to get a fresh start with a new angle on the same idea. So I named the folder - GameName2 . .
I always use the same 'project' for things I work on in ActionScript 3 because I have code in that project that is useful for my game ideas. For instance a basic controller class. Now in the new game, I want to again inherit from that controller class, however I fear that since the name I'll pick for the new class is a duplicate of the name I used in the first version of this game, this will cause future difficulties and confusion..
I was wondering if there is any way to use namespaces or anything else, so I could have classes with the same name in different packages and avoid confusion when I import the packages for a specific game..
Right now:
I have:
gamename.controller.GameNameController
and
gamename2.controller.GameNameController
Is there any way to keep things more simple and clean? Thanks
Thanks for any input.
You can get around this using an application domain which is documented here, I would also recommend you create a Library SWC for your own framework code, so you can just import a SWC for reuse.
There is a third party plugin referenced from the FlashDevelop site to help you Export a SWC from FlashDevelop.
