I am getting compiler errors whenever I try to use ActionScript3. Specifically, it says it can't find UIComponent. If I put $(LocalData)/Classes in the classpath it gives a syntax error in what appears to be an ActionScript2 version of UIComponent. On my system, $(LocalData)/Classes is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash 9 Public Alpha\en\First Run\Classes which appear to all be ActionScript2 classes, and my ActionScript3 code is not compiling. Any ideas? I can’t seem to make this work. I am getting compiler errors whenever I try to use ActionScript3. Specifically, it says it can’t find UIComponent.

The result was not enough for me to notice. Just for the fun of it, I just created included 50 classes to see if it had any change on compile time. The result was not enough for me to notice.

Yes your right the classes arent exported if they arent used, but the compiler still will have to check if that class is not being used. That increases compile time only by a miniscule amount but still. I will edit it now so it is more clear :) Ah okay, slight mis-interpretation there.

Apart from that your forcing flash to load all of those classes in that file in to memory, when you may not use all of them." This statement seems wrong to me... From the AS3 docs for the 'import' directive: "If you import a class but do not use it in your script, the class is not exported as part of the SWF file. This means you can import large packages without being concerned about the size of the SWF file" Do you have information to the contrary? “Just one less thing to worry about.
