Im using external .as files to hold some of my functions, however if i include a function inside a movieclip, that its held in an external .as file, it needs

```auto
#include "someActionscript.as"

```

before it to work, surely this cant be the way to call your .as? As this means everytime I change the verison numbers on the .as file, I have to update every part of the fla which calls it…
