To force a class to be imported even if no one uses it: import com.company.project.YourClass;

It seems logical that import makes the classes available in the context into which they are imported. What seems un-logical to me is that it's impossible to force "burn-in" of these classes even if they are not being called explicitly (with standard Flash means). As for Java - I don't see how this is relevant because every class gets compiled into a .class file and you can describe which classes a .jar contains (so they can be looked up inside the jar). Not so with an SWF which is an all-or-nothing :-) _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
