Had some flex code that generated the following compile-time error:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method fooBar through a reference with static type mx.controls.VideoDisplay.
Already I have a problem with this. If the message is “possibly undefined” then I would expect it to be a warning that an exception may occur at runtime if indeed the message does not exist (you see the same thing in Obj-C if you don’t declare a method in your header but that is done correctly).
With this confusion in mind I run off to see why this is a compile-time error and found this here
You are calling a method that is not defined.
… … in what sense then is it “possibly” undefined?
