Hello there 
Well- actually, my problem is a bit more abstract than this thread’s title suggests… here’s the setup:
I have a parent function (called “Game”) with a couple of subfunctions.
There is one subfunction (“Game.prototype.spawnBonus”) that, as the name suggests, spawns a Bonus Item by duplicating a movieclip.
The duplicate movieclip is created on “_root”-level and has an onEnterFrame attached to it that checks whether a certain stage is met (all this works).
Now the problem is, when the case is met, I need to access a subfunction of “Game” and pass it the MC’s ID to fade out the Bonus Item. Like so:[AS]Game.prototype.fadeBonus = function(number) {
// just some stuff to fade out the MC with the number
// passed through the value “number”. This works well,
// I just need to know how to call this function from
// within the duplicated MC (see below)
};
Game.prototype.spawnBonus = function() {
// - duplicate an MC onto the “_root”-layer
// - assign it an id (can later be accessed
// by the MC through “this.id”)
// - attach an “onEnterFrame”-loop to it
// All the above works well, but in the
// “onEnterFrame”-loop, I have this:
this._y += 4;
if (this._y>=this.end) {
// … this case is recognized correctly-
// if I put a “trace” here, it appears.
// All I need to do is to access
// “Game.prototype.fadeBonus” from here.
}
}[/AS]So… how can I access the function “Game.prototype.fadeBonus” from within the MovieClip that was duplicated by the function “Game.prototype.spawnBonus”?
Your comments and ideas will be welcome
If all else fails, I’ll just put the “fadeBonus” function outside of the Game function / object… but I wanted to know if it is possible this way
Thanks in advance!
