1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant

[ogani]

this is the code in my swf file

import net.quip.sound.CuePointEvent;

function onCuePoint(event:CuePointEvent):void {
play();
}

and this in my actionscript file

package net.quip.sound
{
//import flash.external.*;
import flash.events.Event;

public class CuePointEvent extends Event
{
// PROPERTIES
public static const CUE_POINT:String = "cuePoint";
public var name:String;
public var time:uint;

// CONSTRUCTOR
public function CuePointEvent(type:String, cuePointName:String, cuePointTime:uint, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
this.name = cuePointName;
this.time = cuePointTime;
ExternalInterface.call("showit",cuePointName, cuePointTime );
}

}
}

I get this error
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: CuePointEvent.

any ideas? i have scratched my head all day with it :eek:

Check your paths, and folder structure, try playing with various ways to import your class.
