I am using a component from slideshowpro.net that has a great API that I can use fine with time line code, but I’m struggling trying to utilize it in a sub class.
The component is on the main time line with an instance name of my_ssp
My struggle is how do I make a component’s instance name available in a class? I know how to set linkage with something like a MovieClip, but you don’t have the same option with a class in the library.
My Document Class
package {
import flash.display.*;
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import OnSlideShowData //my new class
public class Main extends MovieClip {
//declaring the instance name so I hope other classes can see it?
public var my_ssp:SlideShowPro
public function Main() {
my_ssp = new OnSlideShowData()
}
}
}
my new class. I know this code works on the time line
package {
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
public class OnSlideShowData extends SlideShowPro {
function OnSlideShowData(event:SSPDataEvent) {
if (event.type=="albumData") {
trace("total images: " + event.data.totalImages);
}
}
my_ssp.addEventListener(SSPDataEvent.ALBUM_DATA, OnSlideShowData);
}
}
The error I keep getting is this, which makes me suspect I’m trying to use the same instance name twice?
1151: A conflict exists with definition my_ssp in namespace internal.
I’ve tried many versions of this and am just plain stuck at this point. Grateful for any pointers.
