Hi I am trying to deal a deck of cards to four players so each player has 13 cards I have found some forums and websites with information but I can't seem to get it working and I hope someone can help me http://books.google.ie/books?id=CKJ7Mc_gKTwC&pg=PA437&lpg=PA437&dq=dea l+deck+of+cards+with+actionscript&source=bl&ots=pqhXzDUSaB&sig=0SP16q9 vFHGtk6JteawS-iJbvW8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=fY3rUv7BHeWy7Aar8IGgDw&ved=0CGgQ6AE wCQ#v=onepage&q=deal%20deck%20of%20cards%20with%20actionscript&f=false This is the example I am trying to follow. I imported the images the same way as shown in this video on YouTube

The error I get is type not found or was not compile time constant CARD my code is exactly the same as the first link. I also found this website http://www.flashandmath.com/howtos/carddeal/ I think its fair to say I have done my homework and Its probably something really simple
