		 			 		 		 		 		Hi I have created a basic class that says hello when the runs but I want to know how to call the sayGoodBye() function with a mouse click on a button or movieclip. The button/movie does not belong to this class

```

Thanks,

package {  
import flash.display._;  
import flash.events._;  
import fl.transitions.\*;  
import flash.display.MovieClip;

```
public class Greetings extends MovieClip

{
	

	
public function Greetings()
	{
		trace('hello');
		
	
	}
	
	
	public function sayGoodBye()
	{
		trace('see ya');
	}
```
