"include" and the Document class

I’ve got an .fla associated with an .as file as its Document class. I’ve also got an external .as file containing an array I’d like to include in the functionality. The array file looks like this:
[AS]
var aTest:Array = new Array();
aTest[0] = “Moe”;
aTest[1] = “Larry”;
aTest[2] = “Curly”;
aTest[3] = “Shemp”;
[/AS]
The Document file looks like this:
[AS]
package{ import flash.display.;
import flash.events.
;
public class TestInclude extends MovieClip{
public function TestInclude(){
trace(aTest[1]);
}
}
}
[/AS]
The .fla has the following…
[AS]
include “includeArray.as”
[/AS]
on its single frame. The TestInclude file has been assigned as the Document class.
When I compile I get the following error…
[AS]
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at TestInclude()
[/AS]
The question is, where does that include command go? Many thanks in advance.
