Hi Irene,

var contentMCs:MovieClip; = new contentMC(this);

should be

var contentMCs:MovieClip = new contentMC(this);

 Thank you for your reply.
 by doing this:
 public class myClass extends Sprite{
 
 public function myClass() {
 var contentMCs:MovieClip; = new contentMC(this);
 }
 
 public function myMethod(){
 }
 }
 
 I get this error msg: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no
 more
 than 0.
 
 since contentMC is a
 MovieClip that is attached from library i dont know where to define
 the parameters.
 
 Thanks for helping me
 Irene

Re: [Flashcoders] How to call class method from a movieclip?

2008-01-30 Thread Kenneth Kawamoto 
Looks to me your Class MyClass should be the Document class. If you 
set it as Document class, you can attach your MovieClip like this, 
because the root timeline is MyClass itself:


var contentMCs:MovieClip = new ContentMC();
addChild(contentMCs);

Then from your MovieClip, you can call MyClass function myMethod like 
this:


MyClass(parent).myMethod();

what is contentMC() ?  Looks like it doesn't take any arguments.  Where
is that defined?
