> What steps will reproduce the problem? Whenever i import "flash.external.ExternalInterface;" and save the file, it removes the import line and save the file.Mean automatically removes the "import flash.external.ExternalInterface;" on saving. > What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I want ff-dec to save the code with "import flash.external.ExternalInterface;" so that i could communicate the SWF through Javascript. Instead of this, it is removing the that line and i am not able to communicate with javascript. > What version of the product are you using? Is it "nightly build"? Which operating system do you have? JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler v.9.0.0 > Please provide any additional information below. If the problem is related to a SWF file, attach it here, otherwise we can't help you.

Is the attached file the original working one? I cant see the import in that file, too.

I don't see a problem here. If you want to add an import to a script, the imported class must be used inside the script, otherwise it is removed. I tried to add the import to this file and use the ExternalInterface and it worked for me. So cannot reproduce a problem (in 9.0.0, in current version too).
