Hi,
When Embedding symbols in AS3, you do construct instances of your
assets using new VariableName -

However, I don't think that the Flash IDE supports this as it does
not support the [Embed] metadata type...
The only way around this is to use Flash Develop or Flex to create
your app.

What am I doing wrong?
You can't call new Background_mc() when it's an instance of Class -
there's no constructor for it that the compiler recognizes.
My suggestion if you don't need to extend UIMovieClip is as follows.
In your Library.fla file, check your export for the Background_mc symbol.
Give it a class name (com.something.myBackground) and have it extend
flash.display.MovieClip.
Export an SWC of the Library file and then set your compiler prefs to
include that SWC into the project.
Then, in your class just do:
import com.something.myBackground
and the usage is:
private var myBG : MovieClip;
private var Background_mc:MovieClip;
myBG = MovieClip( new Background_mc() );
At least, that's one way of doing it. I do it that way for
non-component UI elements that do not need to extend UIMovieClip. Also
because I use the same SWC as an SWF file for CSS embedding of
graphical elements.
good luck,
jon
