I am starting to learn coding the class… I tried to declare a movieclip variable in a class file. But it shows an error.

```auto

class findXY 
{
 
 public var a:MovieClip=new Movieclip();
 function findXY()
 {
  
 }
 
}
 

```

in flash i have

```auto

import findXY;
var myVar:findXY=new findXY();

```

## The error message I get while running the movie is

## Line 3: There is no method with the name ‘Movieclip’. public var a:MovieClip=new Movieclip(); Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Where is the problem ?
