This video tutorial begins where the first one left off. Here you’ll learn to place your class files inside a unique name space within your global class path.

If you’ve ever downloaded someone else’s class files and couldn’t get them to work this might help.

Notes:

• An import statement adds that class to your SWF when it’s compiled and adds on to the file size of your SWF. If you’re importing a class but not using it then you’ll bloat your SWF filesize unnecessarily. This happens from time to time when you edit your code and remove a call to a class and forget to remove the import statement.

Lee Brimelow at gotoAndLearn.com did a video tutorial covering the use of custom classes. I’d suggest watching that if you still have any questions.
