AS 2.0 Class help

programming flash
1

Hey All,

im having some troubles with as2.0 classes calling each-other.

Basically, on the root timeline I have MC Called “myMovieClip” [how original]
and on the first frame I have :

myBox = new buildBox(myMovieClip, 100, 100)

then, in a AS2.0 Class file I have :

class buildBox()
{
   function buildBox(inside:MovieClip, w:Number, h:Number)
   {
	  // some AS code
	 * **inside.drawBox(w,h)***
	  // blah blah blah
	}
   // some other functions
}

then, in another AS2.0 Class File theres :

class drawBox extends MovieClip
{
   function drawBox(w,h)
   {
	  trace("draw box")
	  // AS Code to draw box and stuff
   }
}

Whenever I execute this the swf just does nothing, I have tested the script so many times and it turns out that the drawBox class is never called - I always get a “Property Does Not Exist” error for MC.drawBox(100,100)

I have also tried importing the class file on the 1st frame, but still nothing… is there anything special you need to do to register a property to a flash class - in this case the MovieClip Class? or am I doing somthing completly wrong.

thanks in advance for your help !!! :link:
