Ok, maybe someone can help me out with this. :hitman2:

I’ve got a Document class for my project which handles a bunch of the applications functions. I have another class that extends MovieClip, And I create a bunch of instances of this class (movieclip) in my movie. I want to be able to call a function that is in my DOCUMENT CLASS from my other class (which is in a separate AS file).

Is this possible? I have it working but I have to pass in “this” to the constructor and then use that reference to call the function. Seems a bit sloppy, is that the only way to do it?

What about global functions? What is the best way to have a function that can be called from any class?
