Also note that classes in the same package (folder) don't need to 
import other classes in the same folder.  They are 
considered "automatically" imported, since they are in the same 
package.  If all your as files are in the src directory, you don't 
need to import any of them.

Think of a package as a path.  You're mixing apples and oranges here a
little.   First, the way that you have it coded, the name of the class
file should be DPBSubclass.as; not preloaderOverride.as; since that's
the class name.   Second, the statement import preloaderOverride.*; is
saying import all classes in the src/preloaderOverride folder; not the
src folder.

My preference would be to remove preloaderOverride from the package
declaration, replace the DPBSubclass class and function names with
CustomePreloader, and save the class file as CustomPreloader.as in the
src folder.  At that point, (import CustomPreloader;) will work.
