adding class files in classes directory (not found)

[yorkeylady]

I thought I knew this but I obviously missed something somewhere.

I have 4 or 5 class files that extend a class called Shapes

So I made a directory in the class path under the Classes/Shapes directory and put alll my files in there.

But the functions aren't being found.
//simple code
import Shapes.Line;
function line(x1,y1,x2,y2);
//does nothing and trace not called



Did I put them in the right place?

Hrm..

Go to your movie's properties (publish settings), and next to where it says "Actionscript 2" there should be a settings button. Set your classpath in there.

Make sure to include $(LocalData)/Classes

Make sure your AS code is in the right place. In windows XP this is
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\Configuration

you shouldnt be using "function" there. I cant tell whats going on exactly because I dont know enough about your setup. Read through this and it might help some.

//simple code
import Shapes.Line;
function line(x1,y1,x2,y2);
//does nothing and trace not called

what trace?
if that is your constructor then maybe you could try something like this:

import Shapes.*; // or "Shapes.Line;" doesn't matter
var myLine:Line = new Line(x1,y1,x2,y2);
trace(typeof myLine);
