Importing Action Script 3 files

Question

Hey guys I wrote a very simple actionscript 3 file outside of a ActionScript 3.0 project in Flash CS5.5, I'm trying to figure out how can I import my as3 file. So how can I do that?

To add the code to into the file, first create a layer in the timeline and label it "Actions" or something that tells you the code will be in that layer.  Then select the first frame (if that is the frame you want it to be in) while the Actions panel is opened.  Once you have selected the frame, any code you type/copy into the Actions panel will apply to that frame, and potentially all other frames down the timeline from it (depends on the code you enter... some code only applies to that frame, such as a stop() command or an event listener assignment)
