Hi,

I’ve got a class with this in it:

```auto

package localAS3{
    public class Glo {
        static public function Glo():void {
            trace("dosomething");
        }
    }
}

```

and in my fla. On the first frame in the timeline I have this:

```auto
import localAS3.Glo;

```

It doesn’t throw any errors, so I know the path to the file is correct. However, shouldn’t that trace “dosomething” into my output when I publish my flash movie?

It doesn’t, could someone tell me why?

Thanks.
