This is a scope issue. This function you wrote is in a class, but "mc"
doesn't know how to access methods of that class. You could get around
it by assigning a property to mc which is an instance of the class, and
then calling the getPlayFile() method that way. As you have it now, mc
doesn't have any reference or know about the getPlayFile() method in
your class. In fact, mc doesn't know anything about your class. So one
way to work around this, would be to do this:
private function setPlayButton(){
var mc:MovieClip = vid.toolbar.playVideoButton;
mc.classinstance = this;
mc.onRollOver = mc.onDragOver = function():Void{
this.classinstance.getPlayFile(0);
}
}
