AS3 source architecture

[Flashchump]

I am trying to view the base class source files but not all of them are where I expect them to be.

Most of them can be found here:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\First Run\Classes

I would expect flash.display.sprite to be located under ..\FP9\flash\display, but only the BitMap class is there.
I would expect the flash.display.MovieClip to be there as well but it is under the ..\FP9 directory.

currently you cannot look at the source for any packages that start with flash since they are (i think) located in the global.swc. At least this is the case in Flex.

You will probably just have to wait till they make those open source which they are planning to do sometime soon.

that would be good. theres a lot of things that docs dont cover well enough

you will find the file playerglobal.swc this directory:
...\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\Classes\
