Configuration option to define Adobe Animate library symbols with generated linkage

[bls1999]

I have graphics with AS3 linkage that don't have any corresponding AS3 files (the linkage is assigned in the .fla project and the files are generated automatically when the SWF is compiled). As a result, the program throws a problem to the problems list with this message:

Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: NameOfGraphic.(1046)

Is there a way to specify which project files are generated automatically by flash in order to mute these errors? Maybe in the config file?

You will need to create the appropriate .as file for each of your library symbols with AS3 linkage. There's no way for VSCode to know that something is automatically generated by Animate, so you need to do it manually instead. It can probably be as basic as this:

package {
    import flash.display.MovieClip; //or Sprite, if you prefer
    public dynamic class NameOfGraphic extends MovieClip {}
}

Oh, darn. Thanks for the response. Would it be possible in the future to add a feature to the config file that would let VSCode know which files are included in the .fla?

It's something that I can look into, but I'm not sure that it's possible.

Thanks a bunch. I suppose a way to go about it would be "ignoring" the absence of files explicitly listed in the config file.

This feature is about to work? I need this feature too, cause i have so many generated linkage.

This feature is not planned because there is no way to get the linkage names from Animate.

Ok, thanks 😊
