I have one fla file and in the library i have one movieclip with the export name “ComboBox” (thats my own movieclip)

I have a document class for that fla called MediaPlayer in which I need to instantiate this combo, using Combo Class (my own class), but this class needs that symbol.

In Combo class i need to have this:  
private var \_combo:ComboBox;  
\_combo = new ComboBox();  
…and start building that.

but if i say this in Combo class:  
import ComboBox;

i get an error from Combo class:  
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ComboBox.

All these classes are in the same folder as the fla file.

please help, i really need to solve this 🙂
