Functions in a class

Question

Ok, I have found defining classes in .as files can be very
useful for me. I have a few functions that are being called over
and over again in different movies. There is what I want / need to
do in order to stream line the creating and updating of the flash
site. I want to see if I can put those same functions into a class
(.as file) so I can access them from anywhere in the flash movie.
The problem is when I just try to copy and paste the functions to
the .as file (func.as) and then call the function by,
func.FunctionName I get errors. The movie is calling the functions
when buttons are pressed. Any ideas? I will attach some functions I
am using that I would like to move to the func.as file.

Answer 1

OK........ Couple of things I see....
func.as
package{
public class func{ // This is the name of your class and as
such, it needs a constructor.....
public function func() {
// Doesn't need to do anything
Your import should be inside your package but outside the
class definition
You need to import your package into your Flash shell before
you can call the BackToMenu funciton (this is the real reason for
the error).
If you get an error about not being able to nest packages,
you'll need to adjust things
package com.mysite.common {
the above line will assume that you have folders relative to
your flash shell of the same names.....
com \ mysite \ common \ func.as
If this doesn't make sense, just let me know. We'll get it
straightened out.
