Copy the fla into the classes folder and open it from there

Thanks for a timely response; but, when I tried that I got multiple 1114 errors and 1 syntax.

The swf Menu screen flickers and is inoperable.
The ORIGINAL swf from the .ZIP I downloaded worked from outside “classes” perfectly PRIOR to opening the .fla file. I’ve attempted multiple “Start Overs” by throwing out files and re-downloading. Everything works fine until I open the .fla – that when everything goes south !

The errors I generated from reloacting .fla to classes are as follows:

1114: The public attribute can only be used inside a package.

public function progressHandler(e:ProgressEvent):void
public function completeListener(e:Event):void
public function onPlay(e:MouseEvent)
public function onNormal(e:MouseEvent)
public function onHard(e:MouseEvent)
public function initGame()
public function onPlayAgainNormal(e:MouseEvent)
public function onPlayAgainHard(e:MouseEvent)
public function initStats()
public function updateStat(stat:String, val:int)
public function gameOver()

OK, I figured it out.
The .fla has to be inside the classes folder when exporting the swf; and, the swf can be outside the classes folder but not more than one folder away. Seems a bit strange to me but I am new to game development. My flash background is in webdesign. Thank you for the help !

AS3 blows, I can develop in AS2 in 1/4 of the time it takes to do stuff in AS3. Adobe turned flash into flex with AS3.
