When working with ActionScript 2.0 it is recommended to have a local folder or network resource with all the classes that are used and re-used between different projects.

In this example the path is c:\webserver\_classes but, of course, you may use a different path.

Even though you can set each FLA file to look for classes in a different classpath when publishing, it is better to configure the Flash application once so you don’t have to specify the same folder in every new file.

1. Start Macromedia/Adobe Flash.
2. Go to: Edit | Preferences.
   
3. A window pops up. On the left column under “Category” select “ActionScript“.
   
4. On the bottom right press the button that says “ActionScript 2.0 Settings…“
5. Another window pops up with a list of “classpaths“
6. You must add 1 class path in to that list:
   C:\webserver\_classes (or the specific path in your case)
7. Press OK.

Now any FLA file you publish will include classes found inside the specified folder.
