Accessing a main timeline function from a object's timeline

[rahex]

Hi,

I have an object on the stage, MovieClip, with an animation inside.

The animation is called from a class file.

I would like to call for a function, addBubbles, when the animation of the MovieClip has finished.

The function, addBubbles, is described on the main timeline, in the first frame.

But I would like to call for it from inside of that MovieClip, writing the code into the last frame.

How should I reference it, so it would work?

A couple ways would be to just use...

    MovieClip(root).addBubbles();   OR  MovieClip(parent).addBubbles();

Another way would be to have the MovieClip dispatch a custom event for which you have a listener assigned in the main timeline.  THat listener in the main timeline would have an event handler function that calls the addBubbles function.

Thank you, Ned!

Works perfectly
