[AS3] Class Access Problem

I'm very sorry for double posting this but as this problem is with a game I'm making and a LOT more people frequent here than the AS3 forum I suppose it isn't too bad if I post here. Anyways here goes..

I have a Main class in the fla's directory

I have a Waters folder which contains WaterHandler and Water1

The Main class imports Waters.WaterHandler

WaterHandler when asked, needs to make a new Water1.

This is where it messes up. For some reason WaterHandler doesn't create the Water1 that is in the Waters directory - it creates a fake one which means when I try and access Water1's methods it says they arent there.

Weirdly enough, if I put WaterHandler and Water1 in the fla's directory everything works fine. But I want all of my files to be nicely organized.

Also, if I use:

var test = new Waters.Water1();

from WaterHandler it creates the proper Water1. But why should I have to do that if its already in the same package?

What am I doing wrong? Why cant I simply use 'new Water1()' from WaterHandler successfully seeming as they are in the same directory?

And yes I've declared both Water1 and WaterHandler as part of the Waters package. And I've also tried importing Waters/Water1/Waters.Water1 to no avail.

Thnx in advance!

The only thing I can think of is that there may be something wrong with the way you're declaring the packages.

So.. how are you declaring the packages?

Your main class could just have the default package.

PHP Code:

---

package {
    import Waters.WaterHandler;
    public class Main {
        private var waterHandler:WaterHandler;
        public function Main() {
            waterHandler = new WaterHandler();
            trace(waterHandler.getWaterPressure());
        }
    }
} 


---

and then the two classes inside your Waters folder:

PHP Code:

---

package Waters {
    public class WaterHandler {
        private var water1:Water1;
        public function WaterHandler() {
            water1 = new Water1(2);
        }
        public function getWaterPressure():Number {
            return water1.getPressure();
        }
    }
} 


---

PHP Code:

---

package Waters {
    public class Water1 {
        private var pressure:Number;
        public function Water1(_pressure:Number) {
            pressure = _pressure;
        }

        public function getPressure():Number {
            return pressure;
        }
    }
}

I found out what my problem was!

My code was completely correct (just like your AfternoonDelite). What was wrong was that I had a Water1 MovieClip in my Library and its class was defined as Water1 instead of Waters.Water1 which was why it wasn't working. Now I've renamed it everything works perfectly!

Im so glad I found the error :D
