Hey everyone,

I was wondering if it was possible to access the document class from within a movieclip.

I am creating a slideshow type project, and I’m using a document class to switch between the frames using the arrow keys. However, in one of the “slideshow screen” movieclips, I want to have it stop, and then play another part when the arrow key is pressed again.

I tried to access my nextScreenToPlay method within the document class, but whenever I try to do it within a movie clip, I get this error: **Call to a possibly undefined method nextScreenToPlay through a reference with static type class**.

If I do a trace(Main), within a movieclip, it shows the class. :S

I’m confused.
