Question

Let’s say I would want to use the frameScript method to add some stop and play methods to some frames.

Normally I would declare the stop function:

private function $FUN_FrameStop():void {
            stop();
            return;
        }

and then use it like this:

addFrameScript(47, $FUN_FrameStop, 122, $FUN_FrameStop);

My question is, how can I create the same $FUN_FrameStop as a static function?

Static functions do not allow the use of this since static members are bound to a class and are not inherited by that class’ instances.

So, is there a way to create a function similar to $FUN_FrameStop, but static?

Answer 1

The answer is that there’s no way unless I have a static reference to the class instance, but that’s not what I want.

public static var staticClassRef:MovieClip;
function $FUN_FrameStop():void {
staticClassRef.stop();
return;
}
