You've got yourself a cyclic dependency there. I'm surprised it runs at all.
var a:FirstClass = new FirstClass(); // construction calls --> FirstClass (which creates) ---> SecondClass (which creates) ----> FirstClass (which creates) ------> SecondClass (which creates) -------> etc, etc, etc (which creates) An object can never be a child of itself in a container hierarchy. I don't believe I've ever had a need for something like this in 20 years of programming. Don't use new SomeClass, pass a reference of each class to the other or if they are instances of different classes make them implement an interface and pass that around or you will get cyclic include issues. ~neo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 June 2006 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Flashcoders] Q:2 Way Comunication between classes I have 2 menus systems that I need to establish communication between. Each menu system is controlled by a class that uses EventDispatcher to keep track of which button is currently selected. The problem is when I try to establish 2 WAY communication between these 2 menu classes. I can use composition to communicate ONE way, but when I try and reference each class from the other, I get some pretty funky things happening! I think its because its a many to many relationship... //FIRST CLASS //constructor function FirstClass(){ var sc= new SecondClass() } //SECOND CLASS //constructor function SecondClass(){ var fd= new FirstClass() } Any suggestions appreciated!
