Runtime Sharing: how to create instance of imported object

programming flash
1

Hi there!
I’m working with Runtime Sharing, and can’t get past this issue…

In my Import.fla document, I import for Runtime Sharing the movieclip “StarIcon” from Export.swf. It has the class “StarIcon”.

I can’t figure out how to access “StarIcon” via Import.fla’s document class. When I try to say


var newIcon:StarIcon = new StarIcon();
addChild(newIcon);

I get a 1046:Type not found: StarIcon error.

If I add that same code to Export.fla, it works fine… but obviously I don’t want to use it there.

Do I have to do something special in my document class to access the runtime sharing import?

thanks for any help… sorry this is confusing to explain!
