I have a Document class called "CityModule", and an asset with class "City". Below is the coe for each. For some reason, I am unable to access the static variables of the City class from CityModule:

CityModule.as:

package {

  public class CityModule extends MovieClip {

      public function CityModule() {

          var buildings:Array = City.getBuildings();

      }
    }
  }
}

City.as:

package {

import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class City extends MovieClip {

    private static var _buildings:Array = [
        {className:'City.Generic1', type:'generic'},
        {className:'City.Generic2', type:'generic'},
        {className:'City.Generic3', type:'generic'}
    ];

    public function City(){
        //empty
    }

    public static function getBuildings():Array{
        return _buildings;
    }
  }
}

Doing this gives me a "Call to a possibly undefined method getBuildings" error. If I instantiate an instance of City, I can see any public/ getters/ setters perfectly fine. But static isn't working...
