Hi all,
Have had a heck of a time trying to figure this one out;
What I want to do is reference a classes stage name.
I have 2 classes in question,
A gun class, and a bullet class.
The gun class gets loaded via a addchild method wherever the player clicks - it has a movieclip that goes with it, and within that movieclip i have a hitbox which I’d like to reference from within it’s own class.
EG what I WANT to do is refrence basically, “this.hitbox” somehow in reference to gun.hitbox, but obviously this won’t work as the class doesn’t realise that “this” is a movieclip per say with a movieclip inside it.
Is there a way of doing this using localtoGlobal? I’m stumped.
I’ve got this:
var hitboxpoint:Point = this.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x, this.x));
newBullet.x = hitboxpoint.x; //creates a new bullet with x from guns hitbox
newBullet.y = hitboxpoint.y; // “” y hitbox
But obviously this just makes it spawn from the gun itself - I need to somehow get it to figure out there is a movieclip inside “this” named hitbox which I then want to use as the x/y.
I’m trying to get my bullets to spawn from the end of the gun when it shoots - but can’t reference the hitbox - I can do it fine if I have the gun already on the stage and then just use its instance name - but problem is I want to be able to dynamically do it after the classes movieclip is created via an addchild.
Thanks for your help!
