missing fl.controls

I'm running flash CS3 on Max OS X

i got this message :1172: Definition fl.controls:TextInput could not be found.

Make sure you have an instance of the TextInput component in your library

tnx senocular work now, but i still am confused.

A lot of the help files on ActionScript 3 do not mention the component in library "move" and shouldn't have been there a Controls folder in Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/Classes/fl/ ?

[senocular]

Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/Classes/fl/ is only for non-component classes available for use in Flash. Component classes are precompiled and contained with the component itself. By having an instance in your library, you also have its class definitions. Help files assume that if you are using a component, you have it in your library

ok, tnx for the detailed info. :)
