import mx.utils.Delegate; class YourClass { private var __rawHTML:String; public function grabHTML():Void { var html_data:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); html_data.onData = Delegate.create(this, this.htmlDataHandler); html_data.load("http://somesite.ca/some.html"); } private function htmlDataHandler(rawData:String):Void { this.__rawHTML = rawData; this.doSomething(); } private function doSomething():Void { // do something with __rawHTML } } regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Murphy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 2:48 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Problem with cascading functions within a class Im programming a class which includes something like following methods: // grab some .html public function grabHTML():Void { // loads the .html var html_data:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); // once the .html is loaded html_data.onData = function():Void { // run doSomething() doSomething(); }; html_data.load("http://somesite.ca/some.html"); }; // does something after the .html has been loaded public function doSomething():Void { trace("doing something"); }; Unfortunately the second function doSomething never happens.
