I’ve never worked with classes. The only time I did was when I took a java course back in 01’ in college. I purchased colin’s AS 3.0 book, and I’m trying to pick it up - it’s not that hard but…

He doesn’t go into how to actually get this stuff to compile. For example, he gives tons f example source class’ which is fine and dandy. But when I try to import this stuff there is no clear direction within the book.

Now Orth and batle were very patient with me in a previous thread and shed some light.

My question is where can I find a tutorial that will explain exactly what I need to do to get my classes to compile correctly. I’m not sure why I am finding this so difficult, I’ve been using action script for years now (professionally).

Any helpers?
