definition of base class _ not found

Hi there!



While exploring Flex 3 (really neat btw) and building my
first app, I tried the following:



public class X extends EventDispatcher {}



This gives me a compile time error #1017: The definition of
the base class EventDispatcher was not found.



To compile I am simply use a .bat file, such as those used in
the samples. Everything compiles normally without extending an
existing class (in this case flash.events.EventDispatcher).

Trying to change the compiler options with

-library-path+=c:\flex\framework\libs

resulted in the same error here (and I guess that's already a
default setting).



Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You'll need to import the EventDispatcher class via an import
statement to instruct the compiler where the EventDispatcher class
can be found. So, try this:



package

{

import flash.events.EventDispatcher;

public class X extends EventDispatcher {}

}definition of base class _ not found
That worked :-). Thanks a lot, Deepa!



So apparently you can make import statements below the class
declaration (or anywhere in the code), but always before you are
using the imported class. I got confused, as in java all import
statements are in one place and the flash.net imports worked below
my class declaration.
