Using StrobeMediaPlayback inside a Flash application?

Question

hi all -  i've got this to a point where i feel like i'm banging my head against the wall.
i used this thread as a guide and it got me further along than all my previous attempts:

HOWEVER, i still can't get it working.  flash is giving me this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable StrobeMediaPlayback is not defined.
at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
at main::Video()
at InterfaceLayout/loadedVideos()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
i am creating a flash professional project in flash builder, and i've got a class that i'm trying to instantiate SMP from.  the plan is to add my class (which extends sprite) to the display as needed, with the smp inside it.
here is the code for my parent class:
package main
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
public class Video extends Sprite
public static const MAX_VIDEO_WIDTH:Number = 1000;
public static const MAX_VIDEO_HEIGHT:Number = 600;
private var _stage:Stage;
private var _loaderInfo:LoaderInfo;
private var _source:String;
public function set source( string:String ):void { _source = string; }
public function get source():String { return _source; }
public function Video( src:String, loaderInfo:LoaderInfo, stage:Stage )
super();
_loaderInfo = loaderInfo;
_stage = stage;
source = src;
// For statically linked StrobeMediaPlayback you can use this snippet
var strobeClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("StrobeMediaPlayback") as Class;
var strobe:Object = new strobeClass();
strobe.initialize({src:source}, stage);
addChild(strobe as DisplayObject);
am i totally barking up the wrong tree here?  i've added the smp source to my source path in flash builder, i've configured the CONFIG::LOGGING and CONFIG::FLASH_10_1 vars in flash pro, i've put the assets.swc and the OSMF.swc files in my lib dir that is configured in my swc paths in flash builder.
what am i missing?

Hi,
I assume that the StrobeMediaPlayback class is not linked into the SWF that is generated.
Try adding the following metadata on top of your class definition:
[Frame(extraClass="StrobeMediaPlayback")]
Hope this helps,
