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 :)

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.

If you are using the -main flag in MTASC (if you are using the AS2
bundle it's on by default) your main() method will be called with a
parameter, like this:
class YourApp {
static function main(mc:MovieClip){
// mc is the Stage, equivalent to _root most of the time.
}
}
Thus, you can target _root by setting a variable in your class when it
is initialized.
Here's the skeleton for 99% of my AS2 projects:
class Foo {
var _timeline:MovieClip;
function Foo(timeline){
_timeline = timeline;
}
static function main(tl:MovieClip){
var app:Foo = new Foo(tl);
}
}
For more info, I'd suggest checking the MTASC list:
http://lists.motion-twin.com/mailman/listinfo/mtasc
About MTASC not being developed anymore... the project is alive, and
the maintainer is rather active on the mailing list. The thing is
MTASC is pretty much finished (it's solid as a rock, fast, and no
known bugs exist on the code) and AS2 is not going to change, so
there's no reason for development to "happen" : )
If you already know AS2 or need to mantain "old" code, there is no
reason not to use MTASC.

Thanks for your reply Ale, I've got this working by placing this code
in my fla then publishing the swf:
import Foo;
var myF = new Foo(this);
I now can publish from Textmate, debug in XTrace and add graphic
elements to my FLA, its great ! :)
Thanks,
Ali
