Error 1180

Question

the code below is trying to generate a raw object, duplicate it n times and, replace it in a different random position
so i made the code in this way:
var dustRaw:MovieClip;
var dust:MovieClip;
function dustRawGen() {
    dustRaw.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
    dustRaw.graphics.drawEllipse(0,0,1,1);
    dustRaw.graphics.endFill();
function dustGen() {
    for (var i:int = dustArray.length; i<=dustCount-1; i++) {
        dust = new dustRaw();
        addChild(dust);
        dust.x = Math.random() * (rBound-lBound) + lBound;
        dust.y = Math.random() * (dBound-uBound) + uBound;
        dustArray.push(dust);
        tailArray[i] = new Array();
dustRawGen();
dustGen();
but when i test it, there is an error on the bolded line
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method dustRaw.
did anyone know why?
thanks for any help

Answer 1

if dustRaw is an ellipse creating class, you would use it from another class.  for example, if you want to use it from the dustGen class:
// dustRaw.as:
package{
     import flash.display.MovieClip;
          class dustRaw extends MovieClip {
              public function dustRaw(){
                   graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
                   graphics.drawEllipse(0,0,15,15);
                   graphics.endFill();
// dustGen.as:
package{
import dustRaw;
public class dustGen{
private var dust:dustRaw
public function dustGen() {
    for (var i:int = dustArray.length; i<=dustCount-1; i++) {
        dust = new dustRaw();
        addChild(dust);
        dust.x = Math.random() * (rBound-lBound) + lBound;
        dust.y = Math.random() * (dBound-uBound) + uBound;
        dustArray.push(dust);
        tailArray[i] = new Array();
p.s.  you should use generally accepted coding standards:  your class names should start with an upper case letter, eg DustGen and DustRaw would be what coders expect to see.
