Hi k.
That's because ClassDraw cannot find the Main class. You have to get
your class paths right.
Maybe this earlier post helps:
++++
1) Flash -> Preferences -> Actionscript -> ActionScript 3.0 Settings
This is a global configuration. It affects every fla document you
export (i.e., when you compile a fla, the compiler will look up
these paths)
2) File -> Publish Settings -> (ActionScript version) ActionScript
3.0 Settings
This a per fla file configuration. It only affects the fla and it
has a
higher priority than the global classpath.
What does that mean?
Suppose you have these settings:
In your global classpath:
C:\Actionscript\Classes\ (it's a windows path but it works the same
way for Mac, I think)
In your fla classpath:
C:\Myprojects\someProject\src\
So, you have a class somePackage.someClass in both C:\Actionscript
\Classes\ and C:\Myprojects\someProject\src\.
The class that will be compiled is the one in C:\Myprojects
\someProject\src\, because it has a higher priority, since it's set
up in the fla file. Take that into account to avoid some hard to
find bugs caused by these kind of "conflicts" (which are not such
for the compiler but might be hard to spot and cause some
apparently odd behavior)
Cheers

Thank you for your help. I'm trying dynamicaly create a movieclip

Your example throws errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Main
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Main
1172: Definition Main could not be found // while trying to import
both classes are in the same directory.

Not sure what you are trying to
accomplish in what you are building (because I am suspicious
your architectural approach may be a bit off - maybe), but
to just answer your question, in the Main class, define the
drawingSign Movie clip as a public variable like this:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main
{
//define it as public
here:
public var
drawingSign:MovieClip;
public function
Main():void
{
//create it here:
drawingSign = new MovieClip();
//blah blah more code here.
}
}
}
Then, in your other class ClassDraw, import Main and create
an instance of it:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import Main;
public class ClassDraw extends
MovieClip
{
private var
_main:Main;
public function
ClassDraw():void
{
//create an instance of Main:
_main = new Main();
//access the MovieClip you want in the other class:
trace(_main.drawingSign)
//blah blah more code here.
}
}
}

MovieClip from class?
Thank you the answer, but maybe I didn't define situation
clearly:
I have two separate files main.as and classdraw.as
Movieclip is defined in main.as:
var drawingSign:Movieclip = new MovieClip();
drawingSign.x = 40;
drawingSign.y = 40;
//drawingSign.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mc_clicked);
addChild(drawingSign);
I want to access drawingSign from my other classdraw.as
file:
package (
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.utils.*;
public class classdraw extends MovieClip {
private var newSign:drawingSign = new drawingSign(); // as
it is used to access objects from Library
public function classdraw() {
addChild (newSign);
}
But I geting errors :
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time
constant: drawingSign.
1180; Call to a possibly undefined method drawingSign.
Regards,

Hello,
I have created Movieclip in main actionscript file
main.as
:
var drawingSign:Movieclip = ne MovieClip();
drawingSign.x = 40;
drawingSign.y = 40;
How could I access it (add listeners etc.) from a
class
file?
Is it possible?
Thank you in advance,
kioshin
