ClassFactory not accessable in the Flash IDE?

I developed a component in Flex. A few buddies want to use it in the Flash IDE. I started porting the component over and hit a problem… I can’t import the ClassFactory. Also, the help in Flash has nothing.

I rarely use Flash and when I do, it’s only to create graphics to import into Flex. Can anyone point me in the correct direction.

It would be nice to simply import mx.core.ClassFactory. Do I have to point anything to Flash to load in this class? I create a factory so I can set properties before the component is initialized. If I do not initialize the properties ahead of time, the rendering of the component isn’t correct.

Maybe there is some sort of workaround?

Thanks!
