Firstly, let me say hi! I’m new to this forum although I’ve read many posts and found them to be extremely useful.

Now then, I’ve just started learning ActionScript 3 and I’m used to the old AS2 method of inserting actionscript into frames and movieclips etc.

I’m trying to learn how the \*.as files work in AS3 but I’m confused as to how I can effectively use them when the fla file can only have one ‘Document class’.

I want to keep things organised and put some functions in one \*.as file and others in a different one.

How?
