Question

AS3 classes source file location?

Can anyone tell where the AS3 package source files (*.as) are located?

Besides for looking up class definitions in the AS3 framework in the Actionscript 3 Language Reference site, I'd like to open specific class files to look at them in their entirety. But I can't seem to find them, nor can I find any documentation specifying their location.

Any information on where the core AS3 package files are located locally would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If you go into your Flash Folder in your program files, go into Common, Configuration, Actionscript 3.0, you will find most of the classes in there I think.

Thanks Nick2Price.

I did find as3 classes there, but none the core ones. ex - where is the Event or Object class?

Many of the *.as files are bucketed under display or interface related directories.

I'm trying to get a good grasp of the fundamentals, but I'm finding cursory explanations of how to extend a specific core class not enough, and would like to view a class in its entirety. It would be helpful to have a brief outline of where precompiled classes are, and how they are organized. I find it frustrating that this is brief yet important piece of info is not available in introductory documentation, say under 'Packages'. Why the opaqueness Adobe??

This has actually started to bugger me now, as I cant find anything online, and I cant find the location of flash.display.Movieclip.  My thinking is that the library is packaged within the sdk or built into the player.  I have found some other code under  Adobe/Common/First Run
