Package Woes

Question

Here is my directory structure:
src-main.mxml
-com/preloaderOverride.as
Here is my import lines in the main.mxml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical"
verticalAlign="middle"
preloader="preloaderOverride.DPBSubclass"
>
<mx:Script>
// Import Classes
import com.preloaderOverride.*;
here is my package: preloaderOverride.as
/* Custom Preloader */
package preloaderOverride {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import mx.preloaders.DownloadProgressBar;
public class DPBSubclass extends DownloadProgressBar {
public function DPBSubclass() {
super();
// Minimum display time after download
MINIMUM_DISPLAY_TIME = 3000;
// Set the default text during initialization
// Progress
initializingLabel = "Download Complete!\nInitializing...";
// Override label area to display custom text
override protected function get labelRect():Rectangle {
return new Rectangle(14, 5, 150, 30);
// Override download progress handler to display
// Custom Text
override protected function
progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
super.progressHandler(event);
label = Math.round(event.bytesLoaded / 1000).toString()
+ "k of " + Math.round(event.bytesTotal / 1000).toString()
+ "k";
// Override to ensure display of progress bar during init
and download
override protected function
showDisplayForDownloading(elapsedTime:int,
event:ProgressEvent):Boolean {
return true;
this is my error: 1172: Definition com.preloaderOverride
could not be found
I really need help and cannot figure this out....

Answer 1

I think you should have
import com.*;
or
import com.preloaderOverride;
