EverybodyEditsBeta doesn't have a package name. It's juse a class.

    public class EverybodyEditsBeta extends BlGame{

I even tried giving it a package name then trying what you said. and importing it.

I still get the same error.

I have a really bad feeling I'm being very stupid.

I believe so. I'm new to AS 3.0, as I'm sure you've guessed, so what exactly am I looking for?

I've read through the docs, but it doesn't help me much with my problem.

What I need to know is why won't it recognize EverybodyEditsBeta?

Here's my current code and error report:

package{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.utils.*;

    public class loader extends MovieClip{
        public var arguments:Class;
        public function loader(){
            var loader:preloader;
            loader = new preloader();
            loader.masker.scaleX = 0;
            loader.x = 17;
            loader.y = 180;
            addChild(loader);
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function (event:Event) : void{
                arguments = null;
                if (stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal != 0){
                    loader.masker.scaleX = stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded / stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
                    if (stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded == stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal){
                        //removeChild(loader);
                        nextFrame();
                        arguments = Class(getDefinitionByName("EverybodyEditsBeta"));
                        addChild(new arguments());
                        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, arguments.callee);
                    }
                }
                return;
            });
            return;
        }

    }
}

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable EverybodyEditsBeta is not defined.
    at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
    at Function/<anonymous>()[C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\mygame._v55\l oader.as:22]

I have removeChild commented out so I can work on this error and not be stopped by the error it throws, which is still:

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
    at Function/<anonymous>()[C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\mygame._v55\l oader.as:20]

Okay, I changed arguments to argument, for simplicity.

and EverybodyEditsBeta.as resides in the fame foled as the .fla and this (loader.as). It is an unnamed package. The only class name in it is EverybodyEditsBeta.

I've research anonymous functions and still don't understand them. Any chance you can

help he get rid of it? Once I see it done I will be able to do it myself.

Sorry I'm patentic.

Here's the latest code:

package{
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.utils.*;

    public class loader extends MovieClip{
        public var argument:Class;
        public function loader(){
            var loader:preloader;
            loader = new preloader();
            loader.masker.scaleX = 0;
            loader.x = 17;
            loader.y = 180;
            addChild(loader);
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function (event:Event) : void{
                argument = null;
                if (stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal != 0){
                    loader.masker.scaleX = stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded / stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
                    if (stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded == stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal){
                        removeChild(loader);
                        nextFrame();
                        argument = Class(getDefinitionByName("EverybodyEditsBeta"));
                        addChild(new argument());
                        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, argument.callee);
                    }
                }
                return;
            });
            return;
        }

    }
}

Okay, so the person I'm working with has redone this part of what we're working on and these errors are no longer an issue.

Sorry to bother you.
