Undefined Public Static Constant

programming flash

Hey everyone I have a class called (DropDown.as)

In that class I have:


public static const DROPDOWN_CHANGE:String = "Drop Down Changed";

In my document class (Main.as) I instantiate my class and try and trace my public static constant but it outputs undefined:


var dropDown_mc:DropDown = new DropDown();
trace("Public Static Constant" + " " + dropDown_mc.DROPDOWN_CHANGE);

Any help is great. Thanks for your time.
