in object oriented programing, objects on the stage are not used, so ideal is to attach them from library and give them a reference. and because you switched to mtasc i suppose you want to do OOP. i recomend you to use haXe instead anyway, mtasc is not developed anymore.

Hiya, I've started compiling using MTASC from Textmate using the 'Build with MTASC' option. I'm using the XTraceTest.as file (at the bottom) and it compiles great.

What I can't figure out is how to target the Stage from my class, if I have movieclips on there that I want to target for example. I can target the _root  but this isn't ideal.

Any suggestions much appreciated


Cheers :)
