Hey,

I want to declare addEventListener in a class. But I want the function handler to run from another class.

Is this possible?

Say I have a class Ground.as with the code:

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, animateChar);

Then in Ball.as I have the function:

public function animateChar(event:Event):void  
{ …

Ball.as and Ground.as are in the same directory.

How would I go about this?

Thanks 🙂
