Error 5007

[coolspyguy]

i did all of the instructions here (http://www.ehow.com/how_7355693_make-memory-game-flash.html)  but i keep getting 5007:An actionscript file must have at least one externally visible definition whenever i press ctrl+enter. i'm guessing it has something to do with the code...

It sounds like you have created a class file that only has "private" elements and you have not provided anything "public" that the outside world can use to work with the class.

[coolspyguy]

i would appreciate it very much if you could tell me how to make it public if you got any free time

[Ned Murphy]

You will help yourself if you show the code when you are asking for help with a code problem

[coolspyguy]

it was provided in the link mentioned above but here is the code anyways:

package {

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
public class image_match extends Sprite {
private var first_tile:images;
private var second_tile:images;
private var pause_timer:Timer;
varimagedeck:Array = new Array(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8);
public function image_match() {
for (x=1; x<=4; x++) {
for (y=1; y<=4; y++) {
var random_card = Math.floor(Math.random()*imagedeck.length);
var tile:images = new images();
tile.col = imagedeck[random_card];
imagedeck.splice(random_card,1);
tile.gotoAndStop(9);
tile.x = (x-1)*82;
tile.y = (y-1)*82;
tile.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tile_clicked);
addChild(tile);
}
}
}
public function tile_clicked(event:MouseEvent) {
var clicked:image = (event.currentTarget as image);
if (first_tile == null) {
first_tile = clicked;
first_tile.gotoAndStop(clicked.col);
}
else if (second_tile == null && first_tile != clicked) {
second_tile = clicked;
second_tile.gotoAndStop(clicked.col);
if (first_tile.col == second_tile.col) {
pause_timer = new Timer(1000,1);
pause_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,remove_tiles);
pause_timer.start();
}
else {
pause_timer = new Timer(1000,1);
pause_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,reset_tiles);
pause_timer.start();
}
}
}
public function reset_tiles(event:TimerEvent) {
first_tile.gotoAndStop(9);
second_tile.gotoAndStop(9);
first_tile = null;
second_tile = null;
pause_timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,reset_tiles);
}
public function remove_tiles(event:TimerEvent) {
removeChild(first_tile);
removeChild(second_tile);
first_tile = null;
second_tile = null;
pause_timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,remove_tiles);
}
