Hey David - You're right, I was typing too fast. Just "import". And I didn't know that you could reference a class file without doing an import first. Thanks! It all makes sense now.

There is no such thing as #import, either you mean #include, which is generally only used in AS1, or import, which is used in AS2. 2. import in AS2 is not required. It does nothing, besides letting you type fewer things. For example, instead of doing: var x = new blah.blah.BlahClass(); you could do: import blah.blah.BlahClass; var x = new BlahClass() both compile to exactly the same swf. notice how in the first case, there is now import statement, yet it can still find the class. By default, it first looks in the same dir as the FLA, then the global class dir, then any other class dirs you have defined (either through flash preferences, or through publish settings). -David R _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
