In this version of CreateJS class definitions reside in a "createjs" namespace by default. For example, instead of instantiating a Shape like this: var foo = new Shape(); You will need to reach into the createjs namespace: var bar = new createjs.Shape(); This functionality is configurable though. You can easily shortcut the namespace or get rid of it completely. To shortcut the namespace, just point a different variable at createjs it is loaded: To remove the namespace, just point the createjs variable at the window before loading the libraries: This will also make CreateJS libraries compatible with old content that did not use a namespace, such as the output from the Flash Pro Toolkit for CreateJS v1.0.
