    I had a similar error, but for WWWForm and WWW:

    "The name 'WWW' does not denote a valid type ('not found'). "

    Does anyone know how to get WWW or WWWForm to work (with Flash) in the 3.5 preview? (The project compiles fine for the webplayer in the 3.5 preview).

    the Unity classes WWW and MovieTexture are not yet supported. However, you can use the actionscript embedding api to have your content talk to actionscript vice versa, and use that to make http calls, as well as to grab pixels from a flash video, and push them to a Unity texture.

    Movie texture is not supported and will not be supported for 4.0. However, given the examples that are available, it is possible to playback video / webcam on a texture within Unity using our AS3 interop.
