Hi guys,  
I have created a animated movieclip in flash named xena, it was working fine but as soon as i created a “xena.as” class in the same folder where original “.fla” was stored, the animated movieclip stopped playing, & when i tried to play it in my actionscript panel by pressing F9, in the way  
xena.play();  
it has shown the message

* * *

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method play through a reference with static type xena.

* * *

Where did i go wrong?
