making classes work

[rolan18]

So I'm having some trouble making a call to my .as file.
I use the make particle an instance of "3dobject".

var particle:threeDObject = new threeDObject(ball, focal, CenterX, CenterY);

and then I use particle to call a function moveParticle

_root.particle.moveParticle();

moveParticle is a function that is supposed to trace some values, but it doesn't seem to be doing that

function moveParticle():Void{
angleY = (_root._xmouse - CenterX) * .001;
trace (angleY);
}


My problem is that the trace in the moveParticle function is not even registering. It doesn't return anything at all, not even an "undefined". So I'm assuming that means the function is not being called, which would be a bad thing.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

What's in your threeDObject.as file?

As it happens, when you get values into functions in an .as file, if you initialize them with,

this.value= value;

you can refer to them using this.value throughout the entire .as file...

this seems to have solved my problem, but thanks
