There a re a few scope related issues that every developer stumbles across once
they start writing their own classes.
The first is accessing the class scope from within a xml object , solved by
defining a local variable withing the constructor before your XML object.
var parent:ClassName= this;
_xmlData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if(success) {
parent.[class imethods you want to reference here]
}
Another is accessing the container clip for a class if created at runtime
solved by simply passing a reference to the container as an argument in the
constructor
ie
private var owner:MovieClip
public function MyClass(createdBy:MovieClip) {
owner=createdBy
But one issue that sometimes puzzles me is how to accurately reference the
class anywhere in a class.
If you are sub-classing a Movieclip, then technically speaking, using 'this'
references the MovieClip, not the class, am I correct?
