AS3: How can I use TweenMax in a different package - actionscript-3

Question

So I'm trying to build a separate package. In that package I would like to reference TweenMax, however I'm having trouble linking to it (error Definition com.greensock:TweenMax could not be found).
Here is my dir structure:
myApp
--com
----greensock
------Tweenmax etc
----myPackage
------packageClass.as
--------elements
----------elementClass.as (this is the one trying to access tweenmax)
--src
----Main.as
main.as is the document class, just so I can test myPackage. Doesn't do anything except instantiate myPackageClass and stick it in the displayList.
In the elementClass.as I have:
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
which flashDevelop seems to see within the ide, but when I compile I get the ...could not be found error.
So how can I reference tweenmax from my elementClass file (I have src and com dirs in the classpaths.
I'm using flashDevelop with flash player 11.7 and Flex 4.6.0 SDK.
Am I going about this all wrong?

Answer 1

I'm going to ask the hopefully obvious question, did you import the greensock folder?
import com.greensock.TweenMax
Ok let's say you did that already. Maybe you need to tell your code where your libraries are. Go to File > ActionScript Settings, or, on the stage's property panel, click the wrench icon next to the Script drop down menu.
You should see a dialog with three tabs, the first two of which are labeled Source path and Library Path. Forget about the third.
In the Source path tab, you should at least have a dot - (.) - as one of the choices. That tells flash to look for any actionscript classes it can't find at compile time in the same directory as the source FLA. From there you can list any number of other library paths that contain supporting files.
The second tab is for SWC files. If you have a SWC library, you can tell your FLA where to find it by pathing to it here, just as you pathed to your libraries in the Source path tab.
The images below presume that there is a folder, in the same directory as the source FLA, named library. In this folder are sub folders named src and swc. Inside src are sub folders containing the greensock and facebookAPI com folders, (the latter used here for example). Inside the swc folder there is a SWC named exampleSWC.swc.
The paths shown in the pics below would allow the FLA to see the following imports:
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import com.facebook.someFacebookAPIClass;
import com.somePackageInTheSWC.someClassFromExampleSWC;
