Invoking a metod of document class from other class..help

[Guest]

Hello,

I have two classes:

1. DocumentClass
2. GameClass

I would like to be able to call a public method of DocumentClass from GameClass. I don't know how to do that, I tried instantiating an object of DocumentClass within GameClass which simply throws me into an endless loop and after a short while application crashes.

I would appreciate any input on this, please.

Thanks.

When you create GameClass you can pass in a reference to the document class. So something in your document class might be saying:

var game:GameClass = new GameClass();

if that was:

var game:GameClass = new GameClass(this as MovieClip);

and in GameClass you had:

private var docClass:MovieClip;
public function GameClass(mc:MovieClip){
docClass = mc;
}

then anywhere in GameClass you could say:

docClass.someFunction(params);

and it would call the document class function.

I am not sure if it will totally work and, I believe, some casting is at hand.

The document class instance is passed as a MovieClip. MovieClip is not a dynamic class and doesn't have someFunction method. In order to use this syntax I believe in order for document instance function calls to work one of the following approaches should be taken:

1. Document class is passed as an object (or other dynamic class):
public function GameClass(mc:Object){

2. document class' functions are called - it should be cast to Object. The syntax for calling the method should be something like:
Object(docClass).someFunction(params);

3. (May be too cumbersome from maintanance stand point but very compact) One may want to create an interface with methods of document and pass an interface instance. For example, if an interface is IDocClassInterface the syntax in the game class will be:

public function GameClass(mc:IDocClassInterface):void{
