AS3 Packages & Classes

[yoyobebob]

I'm ready to start using my own custom classes, but how do I import them into flash? I know I do the publish settings thing, but i keep getting

5001: The name of package 'TracerClass' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:\Users\*********\Desktop\TracerClass\TracerClass.as

I know there is a certain folder layout thing I need to have. So if I want the folder on my desktop, how do I get my classes to work in flash?

The easiest way is to just keep all of your classes in the same folder as your .fla. If you do that, its imported automatically.

I tried that but it keeps saying:

What is the exact name you've given your package? (That sounds dirty)
Is it in the exact same folder as the .fla you're working on?

What does your first package line say, im not 100% sure, but i think it is going to say something like

package ClassArea

when it should just say (if you are keeping it in the same folder as the fla file)

package

Now it says just "package"
Here is my .as file:

package{

public class TraceIt{
public function TraceIt(){
trace("Hello World!");
}
}
}

Is that right?
I saved both the .fla and this .as in the same folder on my desktop

I just made a new document, AS3.
This code is on the timeline:

var traceThis:TraceIt = new TraceIt();

And this code is in a file called TraceIt.as
in the exact same directory as the FLA:

package{
	public class TraceIt{
		public function TraceIt(){
			trace("Hello World!");
		}
	}
}

And that traces "Hello World!"
Start over and try that I guess. Heh.
