I’m working on a steadily expanding AS3 project, and I’ve run into a pretty annoying snag. I want a particular method of a certain class to execute on an ENTER\_FRAME event, so I set up an event listener tied to the method. I get it to work, at first, then the compiler says it can’t find the method on the class.

I have a hunch that I need to somehow delay the script until I have all the external classes loaded, but I’m not really sure how to do that. Can I make a loading bar for a script that never ‘loads’ anything, but imports external classes? Thanks!
