Hi,

My problem AS3 related only. I’ve Flash CS3 installed on C: partition (WinXP SP2). If I save an .fla for example to D: and then try to compile there, I get a 1046 error for a simple trace() function. I don’t understand. If I develop on C: everything seems to be fine.

“1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: XML.”

Is this some OS or AS3 level permission problem or should I reinstall Flash?

I’ve just installed Flash to D:\ but the problem remains. I can work on C:\ without any problems. this issue is related to AS3 only. (tracing a simple message is a no-go for me)
