Hi,

I’m currently experiencing a problem when I use classes that are not in the classpath. If I try to compile an .fla file that is using a class, AND BOTH FILES (.FLA AND .AS) ARE IN THE SAME FOLDER it just doesn’t work, I only see a black screen but no errors, but if I move the .as file to one of my path folders it works. I thought that by having both files in the same folder there was no need to place the .as file in the classpath.

These are the three class paths that I have, the DEFAULT, MY PERSONAL PATH AND ONE FOR MY FLINT FILES.

$(LocalData)/Actionscript 3.0/Classes  
WDC USB2:My Web Pages:My Clients:classes  
$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/Classes

Is there anyone there that knows what the problem could be? It was working before.

Thanks,
