Hello and good day to you!
Instead of posting my entire files and such, I’ll make a brief example of my situation and my desired outcome.
My files consist of my document class entitled Engine.as and another class Abilities.as all within the same folder.
On my stage I have a MovieClip with the instance name of item1_mc. On its personal timeline I have 2 frames, one entitled “inactive” and the other “active”. Here’s a sample of very similar code…
Engine.as:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event
import Abilities;
public class Engine extends MovieClip
{
public static var energy:Number = 0.00;
public function Engine ()
{
var abilities:Abilities = new Abilities();
addChild(abilities);
}
}
}
Abilities.as:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import Engine;
public class Abilities extends MovieClip
{
public function Abilities ()
{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkActive, false, 0, true);
}
public function checkActive(e:Event):void
{
if(Engine.energy >= 0.20)
{
stage.item1_mc.gotoAndStop("active"); //here is where my problem lies
}
}
}
}
How do I access item1_mc? In reality I have 6 different clips and I desire to access much more than frame changes…what’s the overall best way to be able to interact with an item placed on the stage via an external .as file that is not the document class?
