I'll probably get this working by just changing things until it runs,
however, I'd like to really understand what is going wrong. ;)
My packaged class is below (at the bottom). IF I run it as the only file
in an actionscript project (in the Flex 3 ide). It works and draws 3 shapes
onto the screen.
However, if I try to call it from the default application class like this
(immediately below) I get nothing on the screen and I dont get any errors (I
didnt know wether I was supposed to use MovieClip or Sprite either).
