TypeError: Error #1006: myDCLS is not a function.

[Swyze]

I'm trying to access function located in DCLS class from my Pieces class.

Pieces:

  public class Piece extends Sprite
   {
      private var image:Bitmap; 
      private var obj:Object;
      private var gap:Number = 30;  
    
      public function Piece()
      {
         super();
      }
      
      public function init($obj:Object) : void
      {
        this.obj = $obj;
        //taking valuse from my DCLS class works fine
	totalPieces = this.obj.horizontalPieces * this.obj.verticalPieces;
	//here I'm getting error #1006
        this.obj.myDCLS(); 
        

myDCLS function located in DCLS class:

	  public function myDCLS(){
		  //var mycount:int = count;
		  //foundPiecesDCLS++;
		  trace("test");
	  }

Hi.

How are you calling the init method?

I do it like that:

pieceGuid = new Piece();
                  showGuidCon.addChild(pieceGuid);
                  pieceGuid.init({
                     "image":nowbitmap.bitmapData,
                     "i":i,
                     "j":j,
                     "tileObj":piecesArray[i][j],
                     "horizontalPieces":horizontalPieces,
                     "verticalPieces":verticalPieces,
					  "foundPiecesDCLS":foundPiecesDCLS,
                     "crop":{
                        "x":i * pieceWidth,
                        "y":j * pieceHeight,
                        "width":pieceWidth,
                        "height":pieceHeight
                     },
                     "x":i * pieceWidth + i,
                     "y":j * pieceHeight + j,
                     "width":pieceWidth,
                     "height":pieceHeight,
                     "draggable":false
                  });

Thanks.

You need to pass an instance of the DCLS class to the init method object you're using as an argument. Something like this:

pieceGuid.init({dLCSInstance:yourDLCSInstance});

// ...

this.obj.dLCSInstance.myDCLS();

Or if you don't want/need to instantiate the DCLS class, mark the myDCLS method as static. Like this:

public static function myDCLS():void
{
}

Then call the myDCLS method like this:

DCLS.myDCLS();

Static method does work, but now I'm getting undefined property or method errors (1180 and 1120 messages).

When I pass instance to the init method I get: mySwf.swf contains invalid data.
