Frank, I think you might be approaching this from the wrong perspective. In particular, if you don't have object oriented programming experience, you may want to take a few minutes and read some of the many tutorials available online.
As Flex is a pretty OO heavy environment, without this knowledge, I think you are going to get stuck on a lot of issues. That said, you have two choices in the code you wrote below: You could make your method static: public function String2Date becomes-> public static function String2Date Then you could access it as: dfShipping.selectedDate = CommonFunctions.String2Date(x.result[0].shipdatum[0].toString()); Or you need to create an instance of this class first. var cf:CommonFunctions = new CommonFunctions(); dfShipping.selectedDate = cf.String2Date(x.result[0].shipdatum[0].toString()); I do encourage you to spend a little time reading about Object Oriented programming, either from an Adobe resource or just an online tutorial. It will help you immensly. --Mike --- In [email protected], "amigo_fd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I want to make a class with a function I want to reuse in my > application.
