Hi --

I have created some code in Flash CS3 using AS 3.0 to create form elements
dynamically but now I am having trouble accessing the package I have created
from another Flash movie.

My package setup is like this...

package formbuilder
{
public class forms
{

public function createCheckBox() {

}

}
}

The AS file is saved as FormElements.as

and I am attempting to call the package like this

import FormElements

This seems to work as the IDE had me make some small changes to the code
when I first tested my movie.

However, once I have added this code:

var useForm:forms = new forms()

I get an error, "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time
constant: forms."

I am not sure if I need to have my package name and my file name the same?
Do I need to change my import statement? Do I need to change my call? Do I
need to add a constructor to the package?

Please help!!

Thanks

Rich

your file name MUST be the same as the class name, which in the above code is
forms. ie, your file name must be forms.as.

because you use a package named formbuilder, forms.as must be in a directory
named formbuilder.

Great! Thank you for this info.
