You must always import your classes in external AS files. In Flash, the flash.* sub packages are automatically imported.
This is working as intended. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fumio Nonaka Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 1:50 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] import statement and accessing a class in AS3 In ActionScript 3.0, a class can be accessed just by the name of the class without the import statement in a timeline. // timeline: _level0 // frame action (ActionScript 3.0) // import flash.display.MovieClip; trace(MovieClip); // output: [class MovieClip] On the other hand, a class cannot be accessed by its fully qualified class name in a class definition. // ActionScript 3.0 class definition file: Test.as package { // import flash.display.MovieClip public class Test { function Test() { trace(flash.display.MovieClip); // ReferenceError } } } Are the behaviors above the specification of ActionScript 3.0?
