**This works on the time line:**

var address:Object = { city:“Boston”, country:“USA”};  
trace(address.city);

**But the same when packaged as an external class wont work?**

package {  
import flash.display.MovieClip;

```
public class seqMC extends MovieClip {
    var address:Object ={ city:"Boston", country:"USA"};
    trace(address.city);
}

```

}
