My understanding is that classes are only imported once and have a
single instance in the player - so if .swf A loads in .swf B, and both
use Class X, then if you change class X and re-publish only .swf A, you
will see the change in both .swf and .swf B. I could be wrong, but that

Hi Andrew
If you reference a class in your main movie then that class will be
automatically compiled into your main movie. A single reference to the class is
enough to include it. There are ways to prevent that from occurring. In AS2 I
believe you could create an exclude XML file that lists
Guessing that if you run your skin-swf, the classes won't work
properly in there until you re-compile. Because main.swf is loaded
first by the player, these classes will be declared in there and not
overwritten when loaded in (guess that's a security feature).

If your source and linked file are importing the same AS2 class, the

Jordan, Mark et all advised:
If you are going to have your class used throughout various linked
swfs, then keep it in your main movie and exclude the class from the
links swfs when compiling (using an exclude xml file).
Thanks! This is really helpful. It seems so stupid of me to program

Know the feeling! We have about 20 files using the same class files. It
makes more sense for us to keep them in a central core file and simply
compile one file.
The skin swf will reference the classes from your main file as if they
were compiled into the swf. The only noticeable change should
Currently I only have one skin, but we plan to build more skins, at
which time we'll probably start to over-ride some members of various
classes to suit individual skins. If I do this by extending a
base-class, will I be able to keep a base class in the main-swf, exclude
it from the skin-swf,
