Re: [Flashcoders] movieclip to movieclip control in AS3

Hi Gustavo, If you're looking for AS3 books, Essential Actionscript 3.0 by Colin Moock is a great place to start. I'm a bit unclear what you're trying to do. If you are trying to start the ball clip from it's parent timeline, this should work: ball.gotoAndPlay(2); If you're trying to start it

Thx eka + steven for your replies. Forgot to mention my question which is not "why is this -not- working" Rather "why is -it- working?" Try creating an AS3 project in Flex called SampleClass. Cut and paste the whole code. I too would expect that it would need to be casted. Thx, -mL knowledge.

Re: [Flashcoders] movieclip to movieclip control in AS3

Hi Gustavo, Could you give more details on your movie? If you create a circle and on stage and give it an instance name of "ball", and then just do ball.gotoAndPlay(2) it works properly... Maybe you are combining AS3 with AS2 and that is how you got the issue... On 1/11/08, Gustavo Duenas <[EMAI

Hello :) try the typecasting : (a.pop() as MyClass).myFunction(); you can decompose the code with a reference and add a test with the null object var myInstance:MyClass = a.pop() as MyClass ; if ( myInstance != null ) { myInstance.myFunction() ; } EKA+ :) 2008/1/11, Mark Lapasa <[EMA
