Adding classes to Flash CS3 project

[M1iS]

Forgive me I'm a newbie when it comes to Flash projects. I have the source code for a Flash based media player written in Action Script 3 that I need to modify. I’m trying to add classes to this project in Flash CS3 however after I import them and try to reference the classes in an existing class within the original source I get the following error when I try to build:

1172: Definition ‘classname’ could not be found.

However the project builds fine if I don’t reference any of the newly imported classes. What am I missing here?

How do you reference them? Can you post code?

Also, how do you import the classes?

Okay, here's the code. The first class is the one I imported into my existing project. The second class is the existing class from the projects original source code where I'm trying to reference my new class.

From a brief look you need to import your new package into existing class:

import alducente.services.*;

Also make sure that you provide a path to this package in Flash publishing preferences - you need to start with a directory that one level up. For instance, if your new classes reside in a path: c:/documents/classes/alducente/services, you need to tell Flash that you classes are in c:/documents/classes - not in c:/documents/classes/alducente

I think I have it now. I went into the Preferences, selected the ActionScript category and went to the ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog and added a class path that pointed to the root of my project classes and now it compiles fine. Thanks,
