Need help with a Stupid Question

[theBigBoppa]

Hi, this is probably an easy question for someone who is in the know, but anyway I'm trying to communicate between 2 different classes using a getter in a class, but when I call the getter to get a value I get an error. Heres the code-

//THE PLAYER CLASS

public function get _playerX():Number

{

return this.x;

}

public function get _playerY():Number

{

return this.y;

}

//ENEMY CLASS

private function EnemyAi(){

thePlayerX = Player._playerX;

thePlayerY = Player._playerY;

}

I get this error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property _playerX through a reference with static type Class.

Looks to me like flash thinks you're trying to access a static Player class property rather than the property of the Player instance you've instantiated...

I presume you have a Main class that creates instance of these child classes?

You need to pass a reference to the Player class into the Enemy constructor and use that reference to get the property you are after. Does that make sense?

sort of, how do I do that exactly, thanks

thanks I figured out how to do it.
