If these are functions that don't reference a particular instance (i.e., don't use the "this" keyword), then it's better to make a static utilities class (similar to, e.g., Flash's Math class):
class utils.controls.MyFunctions { // Think of a better name.... public static function functionA():Void { // ... } public static function functionB():Void { // ... } } // In your class: import utils.controls.MyFunctions; class utils.controls.ClassA { public function someFunction():Void { // ... MyFunctions.functionA(); MyFunctions.functionB(); } } ― Mike Keesey > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:flashcoders- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Helmut Granda > Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 11:30 AM > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: [Flashcoders] functions outside a class > > I have several classes that will use a function. for scope reasons i have > placed the function in a different file but i would like to be able to > access that file from within the classes. > > If the function has been declared outside the class, what is the best way > to > accces those functions? > > sample: > > utils.controls: > classA > classB > > utils/functions: > functionA > functionB > > main timeline: > include functionA > include functionB > > now I would like to access functionA or functionB within the class... > > TIA > > -- > ...helmut > _______________________________________________ > 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 _______________________________________________ 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
