lol @ using the force.
Yeah I know, not exactly an ideal situation. Anyhow, I was able to get it running in the flash IDE with a couple of tweaks. I just made the application.as file my document class and embedded a few necessary assets and everything compiles nicely now, so moving along.
I do have interest in learning to use the framework, but I am so comfortable building my own frameworks on a per-project base that I am not sure it will ever happen. Maybe I will try it out for my next project and see if it makes my life any eaiser. Thanks for the help anyways Cliff.
