QML file not loading external JS file?

[anothertest]

Hello,

I've created a simple QML file which imports an external JavaScript file:

Test.qml

import Qt 4.6
import "a.js" as Misc
 
 
Rectangle {
    width: 200
    height: 500
 
    Text {
        text: Misc.doubleFloat(2.5)
        anchors.right: parent.right
    }
}

import Qt 4.6
import "a.js" as Misc


Rectangle {
    width: 200
    height: 500

    Text {
        text: Misc.doubleFloat(2.5)
        anchors.right: parent.right
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

a.js

function doubleFloat(a) {
         a = parseFloat(a);
         return a*2;
     }

function doubleFloat(a) {
         a = parseFloat(a);
         return a*2;
     }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Application Ouput panel shows

TypeError: Result of expression 'Misc.doubleFloat' [undefined] is not a function.

TypeError: Result of expression 'Misc.doubleFloat' [undefined] is not a function.

The function works fine if I inline it and remove the qualifier:

Test.qml

import Qt 4.6
 
Rectangle {
    width: 200
    height: 500
 
    function doubleFloat(a) {
             a = parseFloat(a);
             return a*2;
         }
 
    Text {
        text: doubleFloat(2.5)
        anchors.right: parent.right
    }
}

import Qt 4.6

Rectangle {
    width: 200
    height: 500

    function doubleFloat(a) {
             a = parseFloat(a);
             return a*2;
         }

    Text {
        text: doubleFloat(2.5)
        anchors.right: parent.right
    }
}

a.js is in the same directory as Test.qml, so there should be no problem locating it. I have also tried providing the absolute path in the import statement. I still receive the same error.

I'm using Qt 4.7 and QtCreator 2.0, both built from source on Windows XP

Did you load the script?
ie. in your QML do you have

Script { source: "yourScript.js" }

Script { source: "yourScript.js" }

Trolltech's tutorial for 4.7 snapshot on integrating JavaScript states the import statement should be used to load external JavaScript files:

The script { } method was superseded by the import method. However the code you suggested does work, so my next question is, do you know when it was superseded?
