Yes u can i did it before... Just Import the classes below the functions u
wrote on the timeline...

If your class extends MovieClip and you have attached it to a MovieClip
in the library, you should be able to call the functions on the timeline
just as if they where methods of your class.
You just have to make sure that
- your class is dynamic
- you invoke the functions with the "this" keyword
- the MovieClip is completely loaded and initialized before calling any
function
// on the timeline:
function doSomething(pString:String):Void
{
trace(pString);
}
// your class:
dynamic class ExtendedMovieClip extends MovieClip
{
public function ExtendedMovieClip()
{
super();
}
private function onLoad():Void
{
this.doSomething("hi there");
}
}
Keep in mind that, because the class is dynamic, you won't get any
compiler errors when invoking a function that doesn't exists. You also
risk to overwrite class methods with timeline functions (the timeline is
initialized after the class is instantiated) ... but hey ... we're not
talking about whether it's *right* to do things that way, are we? ;-)
Rewriting your code would definitely be the better way to do it.

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful
nor conceited It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is
not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins...but delights
in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope... and to
endure... whatever comes.
