I havent yet tried to call functions from other classes.

Lets say i have a class1 with function called makeBackground()

In class2 i want to call that function how do i do that without caling my constructor.

I have tried the following without any luck.

```auto

var _class1:class1 = new class1()
_class1.makeBackground();

```

And then at the top.

```auto

private var _class1:class1;

```
