Flash ActionScript 3.0 -- How to create a class???

Question

Hey guys, i have a really annoying problem,

so from a new Flash document (AS3) I put in the code:

class SampleClass

{

trace("hello world");

}

But this comes up with an error when it tries to compile,

'Classes cannot be nested'

This means that the class cannot be inside a function etc. doesn't it?

So I did some research, and apparently I have to make a Package as well, so:

Package

{

class SampleClass

{

trace("Hello World");

}

}

But nothing happens, It still says that 'classes cannot be nested'!?!?!?!

So

a. Why is this error happening? (in a new, blank file)

b. How can I fix it?

c. Can you please give me the exact code to place into a new flash file to create a class (EXACTLY)

Iv even tried using the adobe code examples, copying and pasting them in, with the same annoying error :(

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

package {

import flash. display. Sprite;

public class SimpleClass extends Sprite {

public function SimpleClass(): void  {

trace (" Hello World ");

}

}

}
