So I add this line to my .FLA file in the first frame’s script:

import mx.core.UIComponent;

I receive this error:

1093: Syntax error.

in UIComponent.as line 54. Double click on that in the Compiler Errors panel and I see:

#include "../core/ComponentVersion.as"

OK, the syntax error is likely in ComponentVersion.as … except it really, really shoud not be. And if I load that file into the Flash editor and syntax check it has no errors. However, if I copy the sole non-comment line of that file (static var version:String = “2.0.2.127”; ) into UIComponent in place of the #include, it works????

Now I get this error:

5007: An ActionScript file must have at least one externally visible definition.

Excuse me? This is a class definition file suppled with Flash!

Any clues would be gratefully received.

I’m using Flash CS4 (10.0.2).

    Unless you are intentionally trying to import the Flex SDK, you should be using the UIComponent class from the library included in Flash Pro, fl.core.UIComponent, and not the Flex counterpart, mx.core.UIComponent.
