I tried deleting the .aso files, but the problem still occurred. So I tried changing the modified time (by making minor changes to the file) and i tried changing the system time, and then i tried moving the classes around however none of these things worked. restarting the machine didn't work either. However, Shutting down the machine, then turning it back on, did. Like you, I had the same problem using CS3 on a Mac. I tried deleting the .aso files, but the problem still occurred.

I once mistakenly put "MyClass.as" into the Class field of the Linkage Properties box, instead of "MyClass". I scratched my head for about a half hour trying to figure out why I was getting this error. It would be nice if Flash would sometimes give more verbose error messages.

But its a bit of a weird one... Is the a maximum directory tree depth flash looks in then gives up? I removed a folder from within my classes directory that had loads of nested sub-folders and it started working! Is this documented anywhere? Leopard only bug? Hmmm:

I have done some more tinkering and found for some weird reason is does not like the class path 'ukmn'. What's up with that? :( :( ederson:

Mac OS paths are very different, and I need to add an absolute path, not a relative. e.g: "Macintosh HD:Users:johnharding:Documents:classes:as:projects" Justen:

In my case I was trying to access a "_classes" folder located in the same directory as my .FLA and after setting the class path to "_classes/" in the publish settings of my .FLA I was receiving the same error you are. The solution for me was to change the class path to "./_classes/". By adding a "./" first CS3 then found the folder.
