I have a .as file with class Main which contains:

```auto

		public function set Set_AnimationFile(FileName:String):void
		{
			this.FileName=FileName;

		}

		
		public function get Get_AnimationFile():String
		{
			return FileName;
			
		}

```

How do i access these functions from my timeline script?

I have tried

```auto

trace (Get_AnimationFile);

```

and:

```auto

var testMain:Main = new Main();
trace (testMain.Get_AnimationFile);

```
