Question

I am new to Flash, I am trying to create a class for a symbol.

I created a new Flash file, drop a DynamicText, convert this DynamicText to a Symbol called ‘TextBox1’

Then I created TextBox1.as in the same directory as the .fla I just created.

package {     import flash.display.*;      public class TextBox1 extends MovieClip     {          public function TextBox1()          {             trace('TextBox constructor');         }      }  } 

I ran the Flash file but it doesn’t display the message. Did I miss anything?

Answer 1

Did you associate the class with the symbol? Right click the symbol. Tick export for ActionScript and put TextBox1 in the class field.
