#include 401
Description
Keyword; lets you access classes without specifying their fully qualified names. For example, if you
want to use the class macr.util.users.UserClass.as in a script, you must either refer to it by its fully
qualified name or import it; if you import it, you can then refer to it by the class name:
// before importing
var myUser:UserClass = new macr.util.users.UserClass();
// after importing
import macr.util.users.UserClass;
var myUser:UserClass = new UserClass();
If there are several class files in the directory that you want to access, you can import them all in a
single statement:
import macr.util.users.*;
You must issue the import statement before you try to access the imported class without fully
specifying its name.
If you import a class but then don’t use it in your script, the class isn’t exported as part of the SWF
file. This means you can import large packages without worrying about the size of your SWF file;
the bytecode associated with a class is included in a SWF file only if that class is actually used.
The
import statement applies only to the current script (frame or object) in which it’s called. For
example, suppose on Frame 1 of a Flash document you import all the classes in the macr.util
package. On that frame, you can reference classes in that package by their simple names.
// On Frame 1 of a FLA:
import macr.util.*;
var myFoo:foo = new foo();
On another frame script, however, you would need to reference classes in that package by their
fully qualified names (
var myFoo:foo = new macr.util.foo();) or add an import statement
to the other frame, as well, that imports the classes in that package.
For more information on importing, see “Importing classes” on page 171 and “Using packages”
on page 171.
