Call function inside running class

Question

Hey All,
i have a two question in classes.
1- i have class and i called its before and its running on runtime. i need to call function inside this class from another class, but without call the first one again, because if i called it, it will run default class function again
is this doable ?
2- What super() mean ?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

this is the default call, and when i call the method by this way its will run the default class function before call the method.
here my example:
i need to call checkboxes  function in ChannelsMain class without pass by the grey script.
Note: the call_cb is working and the trace is working
so i now the class is running, i need to call the checkboxes without ( var ci:YourClass = new YourClass(); )
package com.link
     import fl.controls.CheckBox;
     import flash.events.*;
     public class ChannelsMain
          var cbLength:uint = Main.PV.channel_id.length;
          public function ChannelsMain()
               // constructor code
               for (var i:int = 0; i < cbLength; i++)
                    var cb:CheckBox = new CheckBox;
                    cb.name = Main.PV.channel_id[i];
                    cb.label = Main.PV.channel_name[i];
                    cb.x = 50;
                    cb.y = 50 + i * 30;
                    cb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,call_cb);
                    Main.MS.addChild(cb);
                    //call xml function
                    if(i == cbLength - 1)
                         new ChannelsXML();
          private function call_cb(evt:Event)
               trace(evt.currentTarget.name,evt.currentTarget.selected);
          public function checkboxes(evt)
               trace(evt);
