How can a class that i made call an object in the main timeline? I know this sounds noobish but i can’t get it to work =(
I have a redContainer_mc in my main timeline. Then in my code i have something like…
var redBall:MovieClip;
redBall = new RedBall();
redContainer_mc.addChild(redBall);
I have a couple of questions…
- In my RedBall.as, I trace this.parent.parent and the output is Main Time Line. Why can’t I do something like: trace(this.parent.parent.redContainer_mc.height)? i get this error message:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property redContainer_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.
how can i call the properties and methods of redContainer_mc inside my RedBall.as?
- Btw, in my library, i have a symbol mcRedContainer, and redContainer_mc is an instance of it. When i click the linkage, and export it for action script, and run my program… i get an error message:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: redContainer_mc.
If i do not export it for action script, the program works fine… Why is this? And is this question related to my question above?
