"DocumentClass doesn't contain a method update" error using OpenFL

[Anheurystics]

I tried to see if I can integrate this system into OpenFL, but all I get is the error above, with "Build failure".
lime [2.8.3]
openfl [3.5.3]
thx.core [0.39.0]
edge [0.7.0]

Code is here:

package;

import edge.ISystem;
import edge.World;
import openfl.display.Sprite;

class Main extends Sprite implements ISystem
{   
    public function new()
    {   
        super();

        var world = new World();

        world.render.add(this);
        world.start();
    }

    function update()
        trace("hello");
}

Sorry if I'm actually missing out an important detail here.

I will try to look into it tomorrow. I am using haxe dev and it looks like OpenFL doesn't work with it.

Hello, any news on this? All I could find was that OpenFL in fact creates a class DocumentClass extending the Main (at least for html5 target - https://github.com/openfl/openfl/blob/a9f8b0624cf6f4bc762395a262ae687dec746f37/templates/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx#L223).

I really haven't tested it but Edge doesn't assume anything special about the environment. I will check ASAP but don't hold your breath ;)

I've added debug print in BuildSystem and using the code from first post in this issue

macro public static function complete() : Array<Field> {
    trace(Context.getLocalClass());

And I've got

D:/Programs/Haxe/haxe/lib/edge/0,7,0/src/edge/core/macro/BuildSystem.hx:17: Main
D:/Programs/Haxe/haxe/lib/edge/0,7,0/src/edge/core/macro/BuildSystem.hx:17: DocumentClass
D:/Programs/Haxe/haxe/lib/edge/0,7,0/src/edge/ISystem.hx:5: characters 2-11 : DocumentClass doesn't contain a method `update`

Sorry if it's not helpful at all, just trying to wrap my head around macros.

Sorry for spamming. Simplified version of the problem:

class Foo implements ISystem
{
    private function update()
    {
        trace("Boop");
    }
} 

class Bar extends Foo {}

D:/Programs/Haxe/haxe/lib/edge/0,7,0/src/edge/ISystem.hx:5: characters 2-11 : Bar doesn't contain a method `update`
D:/Programs/Haxe/haxe/lib/edge/0,7,0/src/edge/ISystem.hx:5: characters 2-11 : Build failure

Bonus: Ugly, possibly harmful workaround for Main entry for openFL class: https://gist.github.com/Misiur/9023d8d2616a16173cfa18c12e003b49 disregard that, it causes more mayhem and runtime errors

During the weekend I tried to install openfl (v.4) and failed ... the setup command doesn't work. I will try to follow-up on that.
