Im an C++ and php coder trying to break into AC3 and flash. The coding side of ac3 is straightforward enough its the flash intergration that im having trouble with.
For instance I`ve been trying to get the example code at the bottom to work.
I save it out as main.as in my working folder.
I add a movie clip to my main layer with the instance name of ship_mc
then on the first frame of my actions layer I add the following code
import main;
var mainloop:Mainloop3 = new Mainloop3();
addChild(mainloop);
flash kicks out the error:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Mainloop3.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Mainloop3.
I know im missing something simple, I dont have a problem with the code itself, its getting flash to behave itself. If I put the code in the timeline it doesnt work as then the packages are nested.
If I try the method where I make main.as the document class for the stage it kicks out even more errors.
I get the feeling the code needs to be attached to ship_mc somehow but I cant find how to do that in the flash interface…
If someone could point out the obvious error for me I`d appreciate it. Thanks
