Does anyone know why you have to do this? It seems like bad programming practice to solve the problem like this. This just saved my ass and thanks I have been searching this topic for the last 2 hours. Is there anyway to fix it without using this procedure?

Hi Peter,
That worked! Thank you. It seems rather silly that this needed to be done, but I’m glad it’s working now :)

I’d open the Library Panel and make sure you have at least 1 ActionScript 3.0 component added.
Or, if you’re not sure, try dragging a Label component from the Component’s panel onto the Stage, and then delete it. (Deleting it will remove it from the Stage, but leave it in the document’s library.)

Hi Peter,
I think so, how can I be sure?

Tom,

I’m not sure if it would matter, but do you have an ActionScript 3.0 component in your Flash document’s library?

I am having problems with
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
I get the following error:
1172: Definition fl.events:ComponentEvent could not be found.

So far, I have not been able to determine what this means. What did I forget?

Hi,
im developing my flash site to hold a portfolio. The idea was to create a movie clip with a series of images, each on their own keyframe, then within this movie clip a next and previous button will be available to cycle through the images. Only problem i am having is working out the AS for the buttons. A few attempts have left me skipping a frame on the main timeline but i want to skip a frame within the movieclip.
Could someone help please? im using AS2 by the way.
Thanks, Iain
