Member variable access:flash 8

1

Hi All,

I have problem with subject.
I got “undefined” message by trace() in 2 cases as well.
I don’t understand due to “this.createEmptyMovieClip” gives the newly created empty movieclip as well.

As the code shown below.

class CMedia extends MovieClip{
public var oOwnMovie:MovieClip;

public function CMedia()
{
}


public function LoadMe()
{
     trace(this.oOwnMovie) // 1. case : output:undefined
     this.oOwnMovie=this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
     trace(this.oOwnMovie) // 2. case :output:undefined        
              
     return 1;   
}

}

Very annoying when i can not initialize a public member variable in this simple case.
public var oOwnMovie:MovieClip = new MovieClip; throws error

and I could not initialize it by “createEmptyMovieClip”

Does anyone have example on how can i load external movies by classes ?

Thanks in advance!
