The first loaded, but the second threw up the same error you described. After pulling my hair out for ages I removed the classpath from the preferences - and it worked straight away.

We use FlashDevelop, so it's a simple matter to set a global classpath to point to the common library directory. Looking forward to hearing how you handle it.

The package name of the class starts at the root of the class path. Since you are setting your class path to com.natejc, Flash sees the file as being "display.utils.ImageLoader". How would it know about com.natejc? It doesn't magically look in parent directories til it finds "com" or something like that. You tell it where to start looking by setting the class path. I agree with Felix though, that you should not mix your flas with your .as files. It’s not odd at all. The package name of the class starts at the root of the class path.

I just checked, and it contains 13,576 files. Since there are a team of developers all working with these different classes, and since code re-use, inheritance, and polymorphism is extremely important to us, we've had to get pretty creative on how to go about doing this... Actually, rather than write a very long winded comment, I think I'll write an entire post about the methodology behind developing Flash apps in this type of environment (it might not be till later this week since I'm going out of town for work). So hang tight, and we'll talk more shortly ;) Good question :)
