I have now read this page several times, but I still can’t make it work.  
I’m trying to load three.js with import statements, but it seems regardless of what I do, it complains that it can’t find the import. The weird part is that I can import other files just fine, and the error message is entirely unhelpful.

Anyways, here is what I get, maybe someone can help:

Here is the import that doesn’t work:

And here is the error I get:
