If you're building a SWC, compc has an -include-classes configuration option, but if you're building a SWF, mxmlc doesn't have this option and I think you have to create a dependency in code. > I haven't been able to find the most current debug player. If you download the SDK or Flex Builder it has the debug player. - Gordon

I don't exactly know what is going wrong, because I haven't been able to find the most current debug player. Every link I can find that should lead to it goes to a regular player dated somewhere around June. It seems to me that if I am going to add extra lines declaring variables of all the easing types, I might as well hard-code switch case statements, as it is just as verbose and non-extensible. Is there a more elegant way to tell Flex that it needs to link it in? -Amy
