I have an FLA file that is one frame. ActionScript 3 code runs a few functions and when you click on things, other functions run. Pretty basic…

I have some buttons and sprites that I would like to use with the external.AS file found here for tool tips: [http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265894](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265894) for my buttons and sprites.

If I save the Tool Tip code at the thread above as ‘tooltip.as’, how do I use that in my FLA?

Since I am using an FLA with Actions in Frame 1, I’m not using ‘package’ keyword… it just starts with import flash.display.Sprite; and goes on to set variables and functions. I’m not using a document class.

I checked out this page, but I’m not using a document class, so I’m not sure how to get it working: [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/external\_files\_as3/](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/external_files_as3/)
