Edit: k I totally screwed up this problem, sorry guys I’ll be making a new thread with a clearer question

Hi

In my application I have a class Map, which is an as file that extends MovieClip. Map is used by the document class Core. I have multiple .fla files whose document classes all extend Map, and in each .fla, in the library, there’s clip map\_1, map\_2, map\_3, etc. Now I load one of these maps into Core.

Map has a method addFirst():  
public function addFirst(){  
stg.addChild(new map\_1())  
}

but this generates the error “Variable Map\_1 is not defined” when I use it in Core, I guess it’s because in Map itself map\_1 is not defined, but it is in every children.  
How do I solve this problem?
