scope problem within class with onPress

Hi there.. I have a class in which there are properties (IE - _myColor).

Now suppose withing my class I have an onPress function defined...

IE

targetMc.myBtn.onPress = function():Void {
trace("The current value is: " + _myColor);
}

Now obviously this will not work because it is out of scope.

What is the proper way to access said property from the onPress that resides IN the class file as well?

Thanks!

You can use a local reference to the current object or use the Delegate Class. See attached examples.

That worked beautifully! I had been searching for some time yesterday and hte other offered results never worked for me. I did not use the delegate in this case (due to some other existing code), but will try the delegate after.

Thanks so much!

It’s your event handler that is making things undesirable. In the link below, LuigiL resolves this problem in an ‘onLoad’ event handler. If that doesn’t work then goto the link I posted in this thread.
