Sorry, Guess I was dozing in the back of the class — warm fall day! I just have trouble thinking of movieClips as classes. Will work on it.

It explains that a MovieClip in the Library with the Export to ActionScript <em>is a class</em>. It extends MovieClip. The Logo class is actually: public class Logo extends MovieClip; So, if you have a single or series of classes that you are calling that reference a class in a Library, it must be in the Library of the calling class. Take care, Bill Hi Barbara,

Just one thing I didn’t quite follow; you said: “Note: When you use a class that has a movieClip in the library, you have to put the same movie clip in the Client.fla library.” I don’t follow how a class could have a movie clip in the library when classes are just *.as files with no libraries. Wouldn’t you have all your movie clips in just one place, the FLA file that calls the Client class? Where is the other library you are talking about that you have to copy into the client.fla from? (please excuse grammar) Thanks. Barbara Hi Bill,
