Flash CS4 and the missing Vector3D class

I’ve been using the new 3D functionality in Flash Player 10 and got this error earlier today:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Vector3D

Quote boggling since the docs say it’s a global class as long as you have the publish settings player version set to 10. Took me a while to work it out. If this happens to you then add this at the top of your class:

import flash.geom.*;

You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping. I mean you’re not helping! Why is that, Leon?
