call function in main timeline from class file

[smart_nava]

Hi all, How can a function in main timeline be called from class file?

[kglad]

the class must have access to a displayobject.  you can then use the root property of the displayobject (probably cast as a movieclip) to access the main timeline and therefore reference the function.   for example, the following would call a main timeline function f():

MovieClip(displayObj.root).f()

Sorry, when I put this code, I got error like this:

1120: Access of undefined property displayObj.

You can, but you really shouldn't.

Classes shouldn't "talk" to the outside directly.

Use Event dispatching to get things done.

"root" (i just threw up by just typing that word) should be avoided at all cost, especially in AS3.
