That's correct.

The problem here is that this is actually part of the whole sentence=20
before that. Sorry about the confusing formulation there.
I've changed point 8 in the HowTo to read as follows:

8. Create a class called AppController that extends the class=20
org.asapframework.management.movie.LocalController as found in the=20
framework:

Hope this clarifies the issue with the colon!

The issue here is that the functions "main" and "AppController" have to=20
be inside the class scope as set by the first { and }. In other words,=20
the complete code for the AppController looks like this:

import org.asapframework.management.movie.LocalController;

class AppController extends LocalController {

public function AppController (inTimeline:MovieClip) {
super(inTimeline);
}

public static function main (inTimeline:MovieClip) : Void {
var controller:AppController =3D new AppController(inTimeline);
inTimeline.controller =3D controller;
controller.start();
}
}

I've adapted the HowTo to show the complete class file for easier=20
copying and pasting.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Cheers,
Stephan
