components on class (.as) files

[kili]

flash CC on W7. To use 'import fl.controls.Button' on a fla file, I first drag a Button from Library to Screen. How do I use 'import fl.controls.Button' on a class (.as) file where the library is not available?

You'd have to programmatically draw your own assets for the button. There is an example here:

Button - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 Flash) API Reference

I have a class (.as) file with an ‘import fl.contros.Button’ line. Do you mean that each fla file that includes this class must have a Button component on its library?

No. If you are using Button symbols in your library you draw out all the states using Flash Pro. If you simply create the Button programattically, then you draw out all the states via code.
