This is AS2

import mx.utils.Delegate; import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*;

class com.site.content.Book extends MovieClip { private var bookMusic:Sound = new Sound(); ... }

The error I get is: > A class's instance variables may only be initialized to compile-time constant expressions.

and then it lists the var declaration shown above as the issue.

Is there an include I'm missing (if so I looked through the MX folder but couldn't find it). Can I not use Sound in a MovieClip object?

i'm not sure if you can instantiate sounds at declaration-time.

try :

import mx.utils.Delegate; import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*;

class com.site.content.Book extends MovieClip { private var bookMusic:Sound;

    public function Book()
    {
          bookMusic = new Sound();
    }

}

haven't worked in as2 for years so it might be a long shot :shrug:

A.

Yeah, that was it. I had tried that earlier, but an ID10T error prevented it from working as it should, which is why I was so lost.

Got it working now.

Thanks for the reply
