Hi!

I am creating a helloWorld example here with actionscript 3.0 but I am having some dificulties.

Here is my class :

```
Code:
package

```

{  
public class Greeter  
{  
public function sayHello():String  
{  
var greeting : String;  
greeting = “Say Hello!”;  
return greeting;  
}  
}  
}  
and here is my code at flash:

```
Code:
var mygreeter : Greeter = new Greeter();

```

mainText.text = mygreeter.sayHello();  
And here are the error messages I am getting:

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Greeter.  
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Greeter.

What am I doing wrong?

thank you
