Hi, I am still trying to get this working. Right now with the code I have, I am getting an error "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method questionNum through a reference with static type Function.".
the error is occurring here.
internal function getRealNum (num:Number):Number {
return shuffle.questionNum(num-1);
}
can anyone explain this error to me?
My full code is here:
