I have a Director project with 3 scripts (2 behaviors and 1 movie script). I have the following code in my movie script:

on startRecording ()
  --do stuff
  _movie.script["script2"].passGrade(75, 3, 4)
end

and in one of my behavior scripts, I have the following:

on passGrade (acc, dur, tim)
  member("Assessment", "Assessment").displayGrade(acc, dur, tim)
end passGrade

where the name of the second behavior script is script2and there is a Flash object on the stage called Assessment which has an ActionScript method called displayGrade which takes 3 numbers as input.

I have 2 questions. First, the call -movie.script["script2"].passGrade(75, 3, 4) does not work, and I can’t figure out why. Am I not allowed to call from a movie script to a behavior? Or am I not doing this correctly? The second question is how do I call the ActionScript method? The script is defined as a behavior for the Flash object, which is called Assessment, but Director doesn’t seem to be able to locate the method.

I am using Director 11 with HotFix 3, and the Flash object was compiled for ActionScript 2.

    The syntax for calling the behavior script should rather be:

    script(“script2”).passGrade(75, 3, 4)

    Alternatively you could attach your behavior to the flash sprite (the instance of your flash on the stage), and send the call to the sprite:

    sendSprite (flashSpriteNumOrNameOrRef, #passGrade, 75, 3, 4)

    About calling a function inside the flash sprite, you do more or less the same, but you send the call to the flash sprite, not the member:

    sprite(flashSpriteNumOrNameOrRef).displayGrade(acc, dur, tim)

    if the behavior is attached to the sprite:
    sprite(me.spriteNum).displayGrade(acc, dur, tim)
