(Flash CS5.5) Basic Away3D setup help

I've got Flash CS5.5, and I wanted to fiddle around with some 3D, so I downloaded Away3D from the website, and don't really know how to get it 'working' with CS5.5?

Can I just place the folder with my .fla files? Or do I have to setup a actionscript path of some sort?

Also can someone give me a snippet to verify away3d works, as i've tried the following code:

package
{
    import away3d.containers.View3D;
    import away3d.primitives.Sphere;
    import flash.display.Sprite;

    [SWF(width="500", height="400", frameRate="60", backgroundColor="#FFFFFF")]
    public class physicas extends Sprite
    {
        public function physicas()
        {
            // create a viewport
            var View:View3D = new View3D({x:250,y:200});
            addChild(View);

            // create a sphere and put it on the 3D stage
            var sphere:Sphere = new Sphere();
            View.scene.addChild(sphere);

            // render the view
            View.render();
        }
    }
}

And I keep getting the output error message:

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type away3d.containers:Scene3D.

What does this mean?

Thanks alot.

We just need to import the class to our fla files using the code

import [foldername]/.../[className];

... to make our flash file optimize, import only the class needed.

Here's a short tutorial on the topic of creating a Away3D scene: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/creating-games-away3d.html

It's on Flash Builder but the code is he same both for flash and flash-builder the difference is just where you put your imports. If you don't know about that just edit the publish preferences under the actionscript settings.

Cheers!

The constructor for the View3D class takes a Scene3D object. Change 

var View:View3D = new View3D({x:250,y:200});

to

var scene1:Scene3D = new Scene3D(); 
var View:View3D = new View3D(scene1);

You also need to import the Scene3D class.

import away3d.containers.Scene3D;

You can find the docs here.
