Call a method from outside the method's parent class/package?

bambi

Still pretty new so I'm not sure if what I'm asking is possible but I think it should be. I have a package (I think? the one ending in .hx) with a class, call it 'package1' and 'class1'. Within class1, I have method1. I want to call method1 from inside a different package, package2. Can I? How?

Here's what I have so far, but I get a "Class x has no field y" error.

In package1:

class class1 extends FlxState
{
	public function method1():Void
	{
		//do something
	}
}

In package2:

class class2 extends FlxState
{
	var x: class1 = new class1();
	x.method1();
}

Except for the typical usage of FlxState objects being with FlxG.switchState(), it looks all right to me syntax-wise. Did you import package1 at the top of your package2 file?

.hx files are not packages, they're modules. Also, you're not allowed to start type names with a lowercase letter in Haxe, you should be getting an error like Type name should start with an uppercase letter.

@Gama11 True say on both counts, thanks for the correction. I suppose bambi replaced the real names of the classes with generic ones, otherwise that would be the error received.
