Accessing document class function within timeline

Question

Hi have a very simple question,
(Bear with me I'm still quite new to as3 and some of my terminology may not be solid)
I want to access a function that is within my document class when a movie clip on the timeline has played to a specific point (being the end).
I have already been able to call another function from the document class at the top/root level (it is called to initialize all clips and buttons when you click on the "enter" button on the splash screen.
Problem is that I cannot call another function (in the document class) from a movie clip within a movie clip on the timeline. Is there an easy way to do this? I have considered writing a separate class for the movie clip and then adding it onto the movie clip (using the property panel). I don't really want to do it this way because I am already using a base class on that movie clip and 3 others that use a set of generic functions.

>>I want to access a function that is within my document class when a  movie clip on the timeline has played to a specific point (being the  end).
Your document class should add a listener to the clip and the clip should dispatch an event when it's complete. You could dispatch your own event or use one of Flash's like Event.COMPLETE. Something like:
in clip
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
and in your doc class
clipOnTimeline.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, classMethod);

You really should avoid mixing timeline and document class code. Better would be for your doc class to add a listener to the button and call a method within the class when it's clicked.
