Asfunction limitations

Hi to everyone on the forum,

I have a problem using asfunction and would greatly appreciate some help.

How can I get asfunction to execute a actionscript 2.0 class method?
Also:

I am calling asfunction from a class method and getting it to call a function on the root timeline. I am trying to pass a parameter to this function but all that gets passed is the parameter name and not the parameter value. I need to be able to pass a parameter value. Does anyone know how to do this?

Any suggestion would be would be appreciated.

Many Thanks.
