Hi,

I have a MC in which there is a function:

//---------------------------------------------

\_global.testing = function(num:Number){  
trace("Display num: " + num);  
}

a.text = num; // one blank dynamic text field named “a”

//---------------------------------------------

On the scene:(main timeline 1st frame) following script is their…

var i=0;  
var x = 35;  
var y = 150;

while(i\<2){  
this.attachMovie(“mc”, “mc”+i, i)  
this[“mc”+i].\_x = x;  
this[“mc”+i].\_y = y  
testing(i); // this is not working  
this[“mc”+i].testing(i) //even this is not working…  
i++;  
x+=300;  
}

//-----------------------------

text field displays bank … and function is also not getting called…

Why I am not able to call a function inspite its being initialized as \_global from the main timeline…
