Hello everybody i got a bit of a problem.

When i test my “game” i get this error and i really don’t know how to get rid of it.

The error is 5007: An ActionScript file must have at least one externally visible definition.

And it supposed to caused bij the first line of the code ( says the error compiler)

Here is my code

package {  
import flash.display.\*;

public class MatchingGame1 extends MovieClip {  
public function MatchingGame1():void {  
for(var x:uint=0;x\<6;x++) {  
for(var y:uint=0;y\<6;y++) {  
var thisCard:Card = new Card();  
thisCard.stop();  
thisCard.x = x_52+120;  
thisCard.y = y_52+45;  
addChild(thisCard);  
}  
}  
}

}  
}
