Flash CS3 / Flex 2 AS3 Error #5000

Posted in Error, Flash, Flex, errors at 11:54 pm by Curtis J. Morley

ActionScript Error #5000: The class 'com.cjm.MyObj' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

Description:
This little error will pop up when you have used the linkage in your library and have not targeted the Class properly.

Fix:
Make sure that in your custom ActionScript Class that you have imported the MovieClip Class properly.

Bad Example:

package com.cjm{
public class MyObj extends MovieClip {

Good Example:

package com.cjm
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
public class MyObj extends MovieClip {

So import those classes properly to fix ActionScript Error #5000 and Happy Flashing
