The main class file is ... well the main class. You can define it like David
said. (file -> publish settings -> and so on). It's not a special kind of
class, it's just a normal one that has to extend MovieClip.
This main class , when you choose to use it, will be constructed first, it's
the entrypoint into the application. Just make sure it extends MovieClip or
else it won't work...

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Letting go of AS2 for AS3
Hi
I didn't try yet to code in AS3 with Flash9. I choose to develop with
Flex2. I don't know now all about AS3 but:
With Flex, I build a kind of main class, like all other classes, but
without constructor. My app in MXML (only 4 lines of code) just define
what is the main class and whitch method of this class it does to call
first. After that, all is in AS3. My classes and also my main class are
coded in *.as files.
I've seen in Flash9 that with File>Publish settings>Flash>ActionsScript
version: ActionScript3.0>Settings, you can define a single "document
class". It seem's to be the main class whitch start playing the swf.
I tryed quickly to build an app with it, but it didn't start... sorry to
can't help you more...
I hope I bring a few light in your mind...

Okay im in the middle of reading AS3 Cookbook, and Essential AS3. And i'm
having some trouble grasping the concept of the main class file {as in the
root package for the program you are constructing}, both books talk about
this. But are they talking about constructing applications using
MTASC/mxmlc compilers or is there a way using the Flash 9 IDE to create a
main class file that the IDE needs to look for. I know u can write code on
the timeline, of course, but just wondering if there some other way which
they are elluding to, and me being slow am just not gettin'...
Thanks!
Lori-
