5000: Error migrating from CS3 to CS4

I have moved more than 1 Gaia Framework file from Flash CS3 to CS4 and got this error.

5000: The class ‘Work’ must subclass ‘flash.display.MovieClip’ since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

The solution is to import the MovieClip class into the import area and to extend the main class as a MovieClip.

In my case from this:

public class Logger
{

to this:

public class Logger extends MovieClip
{

Flash AS3 Print Job Class PC Error

I had a nightmare week trying to figure this problem out.  Basically i was printing 4 pages from what appeared to be a really unstable xml file in a flash swf.  Initially I thought it might have been special characters in xml or a problem with the Print Job Class.

I had no idea why the print job class worked (for 3 pages or more) on a MAC and not a PC.  after investigation by a few of our developers it was kicking up an error about “Timing out”, and there was a pretty simple solution.

It was timing out because the script time limit was too short for a PC to process more than 3 pages at a time, so i increased the script time (in Publish Settings)  to 60 seconds and it worked.
