fontSize="20">
<mx:Script source="../asa/clock.as" />
</mx:Canvas>
My AS file
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
public class ShortTimer extends Sprite
public function ShortTimer()
// creates a new five-minute Timer
var minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 300);
// designates listeners for the interval and completion
events
minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);
minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMP LETE,
onTimerComplete);
// starts the timer ticking
minuteTimer.start();
public function onTick(evt:TimerEvent):void
// displays the tick count so far
// The target of this event is the Timer instance itself.
trace("tick " + evt.target.currentCount);
public function onTimerComplete(evt:TimerEvent):void
refresh();
and my application file

Hello
I am having same trouble using  CS4 and ActionScript 3. Let me illustrate using ShapleExample.as file that is a package.
package {
    import flash.display.DisplayObject;
    import flash.display.Graphics;
    import flash.display.JointStyle;
    import flash.display.LineScaleMode;
    import flash.display.Shape;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class ShapeExample extends Sprite {
        private var size:uint           = 80;
        private var bgColor:uint       = 0xFFCC00;
        private var borderColor:uint  = 0x666666;
        private var borderSize:uint   = 0;
        private var cornerRadius:uint = 9;
        private var gutter:uint       = 5;
        private function refreshLayout():void {
            var ln:uint = numChildren;
            var child:DisplayObject;
            var lastChild:DisplayObject = getChildAt(0);
            lastChild.x = gutter;
            lastChild.y = gutter;
            for (var i:uint = 1; i < ln; i++) {
                child = getChildAt(i);
                child.x = gutter + lastChild.x + lastChild.width;
                child.y = gutter;
                lastChild = child;
        private function doDrawCircle():void {
            var child:Shape = new Shape();
            var halfSize:uint = Math.round(size/2);
            child.graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
            child.graphics.lineStyle(borderSize, borderColor);
            child.graphics.drawCircle(halfSize, halfSize, halfSize);
            child.graphics.endFill();
            addChild(child);
        private function doDrawRoundRect():void {
            var child:Shape = new Shape();
            child.graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
            child.graphics.lineStyle(borderSize, borderColor);
            child.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, size, size, cornerRadius);
            child.graphics.endFill();
            addChild(child);
        private function doDrawRect():void {
            var child:Shape = new Shape();
            child.graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
            child.graphics.lineStyle(borderSize, borderColor);
            child.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, size, size);
            child.graphics.endFill();
            addChild(child);
******End Code ShapeExample.as*******
Then I create mycode.fla file
and in frame one layer one I type the following code
import class ShapeEample();
          doDrawCircle();
            doDrawRoundRect();
            doDrawRect();
            refreshLayout();
****END MYCODE.FLA***
i SHOULD GET ONE CIRCLE AND TWO SQUARES** INSTEAD i GET ERROR CODE 1037
