Declaring methods

[SEJ-69]

I'm an old school C++ programmer that switched to CF development years back.
Now with AS3 I've decided to branch out and learn Flex3 and AS3.


I've been working with the sample code in a few books and all have been having
similar issues. It looks like a method needs to be declared before calling it
which makes total sense to my C++ days. Take the sample code as an example.
If I try to run it I get an error in the flexbuilder stating: "Call to a
possibly undefined method Play through a reference with a static type of
mx.effects:Move." on the line "<mx:Button label="Button"
click="transMoveTestIn.Play()"/>"

Can anyone shed light on why this is happening? I can't seem to find anything
on declaring methods. I see that I can declare functions in AS3 scripts...

TIA!


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

<mx:Move id="transMoveTestIn"
target="{frmTest}"
xFrom="502"
xTo="600"
duration="1500"/>
<mx:Form x="502" y="104" width="261" height="361" id="frmTest">
<mx:Text text="Test Form" width="157" fontWeight="bold"/>
<mx:Text text="Test text" />
</mx:Form>
<mx:Form x="163" y="104" width="261" height="361">
<mx:Text text="Move Form"/>
<mx:Button label="Button" click="transMoveTestIn.Play()"/>
</mx:Form>

</mx:Application>

AS is case sensitive, so

.... click="transMoveTestIn.play()...

and not

.... click="transMoveTestIn.Play()

Hmm... It already is a 'P'... I verified the case is identical and it is...

Oh, nevermind! It should be a lower case 'p'.. DOH. Thanks!!!
