I’m creating an unholy mess of sprites because I clearly hate myself. With that out of the way, here’s what I’m running into.
I’ve created a class that in turn generates a bunch of sprites for itself. This all works as it should. However, I’m trying to put some of those sprites on other sprites within the class, like this:
classInstance=this; // extends Sprite
sprite1=new Sprite();
sprite2=new Sprite();
sprite1.addChild(sprite2);
classInstance.addChild(sprite1);
trace (classInstance.sprite1.contains(sprite2)); // returns true
trace (classInstance.sprite1.sprite2); // returns "Reference error: Error #1069: Property sprite2 not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value.
It seems as though Flash doesn’t give a rip that sprite2 is a Sprite which happens to be a child of sprite1 which happens to be a child of classInstance…
What am I doing wrong? (All of this stuff is declared in the class: I left it out for clarity, but I’m happy to post more craptastic code if necessary). Thanks in advance for any help!
