How to call a function inside a class?

Question

Hello, i am trying to fire a function onPress .. this
function is inside a class.
In this function i refer to another function inside the calss
to call a Tween. It never arrives in the second function.
I tried to make an example.
In the fla file i have:
var test:makeMovie = new makeMovie(this);
You will see a red squere and you can press on it. It should
run the tween class. Am i using the delegate class wrong?

Answer 1

I always have to use test movie and trace a couple of times
each time I start to use Delegate.
It wraps function.apply I think, which I tend to use more
often.
try using:
Container.onPress = Delegate.create(this,setAlpha);
and then just
setTween()
inside your setAlpha....
That's conceptually how I think I would try it above if I was
doing something similar.
I'm not sure it would have the desired effect even if the
delegate was executed as you have it coded. Unless you want
setTween's execution scope to be the Container clip in which case
you might need to do what kglad said and change the Container
reference to 'this'.
The way you have it at the moment inside setAlpha the
Delegate.create is simply creating a function...and not excuting
it.
its like : function something(){trace('what')}
and not like : something();
Below is some quick code that helps show how things work.
Notice that I assigned the delegate function to mainFunc....so that
along with the last example might provide a clue. Just paste it on
a frame and take a look at what's happening.
