Good day,
I have been searching for a resolution to this for weeks but to no avail. I have made a game already where I had a character names mainChar placed on the screen using the Flash IDE. With this method, i was able to access it’s various nested movieclips such as mainChar.walk and mainChar.jump. The problem is that I am making a new game where the main character is loaded via external code using hero:mainChar = new mainChar(); in the external file. after this, i would like to check what the current frame of a nested movieclip is. for example, hero.walk.currentFrame. however, by initializing it using the external code, as opposed to my previous method of placing it right on the stage, the compiler is not picking up of hero.walk.currentFrame stating that “a term is undefined and has no properties (error type 1010)”. Is there any way for me to let the compiler know that the nested movieclip is there. It’s odd because i can state hero.gotoAndStop(“walk”), but when i say hero.walk it gives an error, so i know it isnt spelling.
