Simple As3 Button Is Making Me Mad

[kylelyk]

Here is the script in my document class:

package {
	import flash.display.*;
	import fl.controls:Button
	import flash.events.*;
	public class Main extends MovieClip {
		public function Main() {
			var startButton:Button=new Button()
			startButton.label="Play"
			startButton.x=width/2
			startButton.y=height/2
		}
	}
}

The debugger wanted me to change this:

import fl.controls.Button

To this:

import fl.controls:Button

What is going on?
Also, when I changed the line, is still gave an error for it saying I need a semicolon before the colon.????????

The line should be this:

import fl.controls.Button;

The problem is however, that when creating components via AS you need an instance of that component in your library.

I have a button in my library, will that work?

It needs to be the button component (Window > Components, Ctrl+F7) and not just a button symbol.

If you want to create a button symbol use SimpleButton() instead of Button().

AHHHHHHH!!!! What's the difference between simplebutton and button component? How do each work?

A simple button is what you draw on the stage and convert into a symbol. A component button is pre-made and can be found in the components panel.
