Question

I have been away from actionscript for a long time and not 100% why this is happening, I will simplify the class below:

package{

    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.Event;

    public class OpiaRobot extends MovieClip{

        public function OpiaRobot(){ }

        public function botAction(e:MouseEvent):void{ }

        public function run(e:Event):void{

            this.botaction();

        }

    }

var opiaBot:OpiaRobot = new OpiaRobot();

The call to botaction causes:

call to a possibly undefined method through a refernce with a static type?

Why as it should be an instance? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

If that is your exact code, it’s probably because you try to use botaction() when you should use botAction(MouseEvent).
