Hi Folks,

I am receiving an error when publishing an .fla file which appears to be caused by an included external .as file. The error I am getting is as follows:

```auto

**Error** /Volumes/Work/flash/photo_selector-philo.as: Line 8: The class or interface 'XmlLoader' could not be loaded.

```

Line 8 reads as follows and is flanked by more variable definitions:

```auto

var xmlContent:XmlLoader;

```

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is occuring in Flash 8 on MacOS X.

Glen
