seems like your pikkle.WireMenu class got imported before the compiler reached your timeline code to add findFirstNode method to the XML object.
Try adding your method, using a class ... Or, may be, try wrapping your code to add that method to XML object's prototype in a initclip/ endinitclip pair. ~Arul Prasad. On 9/17/06, dc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
hi list - I am trying to add some functions to built in classes. Q1) Using the prototype syntax. Is this an AS1 method, is there a better way to do this with AS2? Q2) this works within my main movie script. however, when i try to use the extended XML object within my own classes, the compiler fails with a "no such method" error. is there a scoping issue, or somehow i have to redefine the XML object prototype within my own class, Again? -------- main timeline this is OK: XMLNode.prototype.findFirstNode = function (searchName) { trace("searching for: " + searchName); } xml = new XMLNode; xml.findFirstNode("test"); // fine up to here. import pikkle.WireMenu; // fails here -------------- inside the pikkle.WireMenu i have exactly the same code, xml.findFirstNode("test"); and there it fails, as if it forgot that it had added extra methods to the XMLNode class. thanks for any tips! /dc ------------------------------------------- David "DC" Collier mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +81 (0)80 6521 9559 skype: callto://d3ntaku ------------------------------------------- Pikkle 株式会社 http://www.pikkle.com ------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
