ActionScript 2.0 scope issue

[rolan18]

Ok, so I have an actionscript file that is not working the way I intend it to.

I'm calling a function in the actionscript file from within the actionscript file, however I have to use this.objectRef to refer to a function that should act independently of any object.

I'm thinking that I might have changed the object I was referring to at some point in the code, but that's just speculation.

Any insight on this or scope in flash would be awesome!!
Thanks
