Re: [Flashcoders] How to call class method from a movieclip?
Thank you for your reply. by doing this: public class myClass extends Sprite{ public function myClass() { var contentMCs:MovieClip; = new contentMC(this); } public function myMethod(){ } } I get this error msg: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0. since contentMC is a MovieClip that is attached from library i dont know where to define the parameters.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to call class method from a movieclip?
Looks to me your Class "MyClass" should be the Document class. If you set it as Document class, you can attach your MovieClip like this, because the root timeline is MyClass itself: var contentMCs:MovieClip = new ContentMC(); addChild(contentMCs); Then from your MovieClip, you can call MyClass function "myMethod" like this: MyClass(parent).myMethod(); Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ Irene Johansson wrote: Hello!

Re: [Flashcoders] How to call class method from a movieclip?
If you want your contentMC class to be able to call methods on your myClass then you should probably pass the myClass instance to the contentMC. Basically, add a parameter to contentMC's constructor of type myClass, and pass a reference to 'this' when you create it. Something like this: public class myClass extends Sprite{ public function myClass() { var contentMCs:MovieClip; = new contentMC(this); } public function myMethod(){ } } On an unrelated note: standard practice has class names start with a capital letter, not lowercase like you have. It helps to differentiate between variable names and class names. -Andy On Jan 30, 2008 8:42 AM, Irene Johansson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello! > I am having a big problem, hope someone can help me. > > I have made a class which i import in my flash file.
