hey beno, you'll probably have more luck in here than the OSFlash list as that is a more specialised place, there used to be a flash newbie list too on chattyfig, don't know if it's still around.
firstly if you want to carry on with your current approach each class is a unique .as file. you need to read about class structure, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/getting_started.html <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/getting_started.html>that should help. also, from what you were saying on the other list you are trying to create an animation. why not do it on the timeline? when i started with flash there were no functions, just calls to different frames with code in to do the more complex stuff. you can get nice results just using the timeline if all you want to do is animate something and not create an application. 2009/11/16 beno - <[email protected]> > Regarding the matter of offense, don't worry about it.
