Path Problem

programming flash

I’ve created a simple class… in the class I have a function which creates a button clip…

_global.TestClass= function()
{	
   this.createButton = function()
   {
        
        _root.createEmptyMovieClip("button",300);
        _root.button.lineStyle(0,0x000000,100);
        _root.button.beginFill(0xE6E6DC,100);
        _root.button.moveTo(20,35);
        _root.button.lineTo(20,55);
        _root.button.lineTo(100,55);
        _root.button.lineTo(100,35);
        _root.button.lineTo(20,35);
        _root.button.endFill();
        
        _root.button.onRelease = function()
        {
                // here's the problem.
               PATH-TO-METHOD?.buttonClicked();
        }
        
   };


   this.buttonClicked = function()
   {
       trace("Button Clicked");
   };

}

In the onRelease handler I call the buttonClicked function within the class… however… I can’t get it to work. Basically, I don’t know how to path reference it. If I say this.buttonClicked() then it is referring to the clip itself instead of the class. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

1/ i would take

                _root.button.onRelease = function()
                {
                        // here's the problem.
                        PATH-TO-METHOD?.buttonClicked();
                }

out of the “createBtn”…and even out of “TestClass”…
2/then try

                _root.button.onRelease = function()
                {
                        // here's the problem.
                        TestClass.buttonClicked();
                }

Judging by your workaround… I’m guessing that it is not possible to call other class methods from another method within the same class. Is this true? Makes flash a bit limited doesn’t it?
