Flex - importing custom packages

Hello,
Not sure how many flex developers read this, but I'm really stumped.
I'm rather new to actionscript and flex.

I have created several custom mxml components and I need to be able to pass data between them. I read up and found out that I need to do something like



now I should be able to import this class and read/write to the vars from all my components. This would be great if I could get it to work. In flex builder the 'auto-complete' recognizes the class when I say


but I still recieve the error
Definition myPackage:myClass could not be found. c1.mxml testing/myComponents

and the myPackage.as file is definitley in testing/myComponents
I've also tried adding my own new classpath to the project, and putting the .as file in there, and I get the same error.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

You say the myPackage.as file ... myPackage should be a folder containing the myClass.as file. For this setup you should have a folder in your project root called myPackage containing a class file called myClass. If you are still getting errors, can you show your folder structure, so I can see exaclty what's going on? (maybe a screenshot?)
