I'm new to AS in general and haven't done any coding in years, but trying to get back into it with AS3. I'm pretty sure my errors are coming from a fundamental misunderstanding of how classes work in AS3, so bare with my please.

I had this code working on a frame in an a .fla file, and when I defined it all within a function in a separate .as file, then called the function in the first frame of the .fla. Now that I am actually trying to extend a class though, no luck.

I get the following errors:

Code:

1120: Access of undefined property  powerbtn.
1120: Access of undefined property powerBtnHandler.
1120: Access  of undefined property armbtn.
1120: Access of undefined property  armBtnDragHandler.
1120: Access of undefined property armbtn.
1120: Access  of undefined property armBtnStopHandler.

My Turntable.as file:

Code:

package {
 import  flash.display.*;
 import flash.events.*;
 import  flash.geom.*;

Code:

  
  dynamic public class Turntable extends MovieClip  {
  
   private var power:Boolean;
  private var  powerbtn:MovieClip;
  private var armbtn:MovieClip;
  
  public  function Turntable() {
   power = false;
   powerbtn = new  MovieClip;
   armbtn = new MovieClip;
  }
  
  //Set functions to be  used in .fla file 
  //to pass instances of power and arm buttons to  class
  public function set _powerbtn(value:MovieClip):void {
   powerbtn  = value;
  }
  
  public function set _armbtn(value:MovieClip):void  {
   armbtn =  value;
  }
     
  powerbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,  powerBtnHandler);
  armbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,  armBtnDragHandler);
  armbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,  armBtnStopHandler);
  
   //controls power button movie clip and turntable  power status
  function powerBtnHandler( event:MouseEvent ):void {
   if  (power == false) {
    powerbtn.gotoAndStop("power_on");
    power =  true;
   } else {
    powerbtn.gotoAndStop("power_off");
    power =  false;
   }
  }
  //gives user control over the turntable  arm
  function armBtnDragHandler( event:MouseEvent ):void {
   var object  = event.target;
   object.startDrag();
  
   }
  //use relinquishes control of turntable  arm
  function armBtnStopHandler( event:MouseEvent ):void {
   var obj =  event.target;
   obj.stopDrag();
  }
 }
}

and on the first frame of the Turntable.fla file:

Code:

var table:Turntable = new  Turntable();

Code:

  
 table._powerbtn = power_btn;
table._armbtn =  arm_btn;

How could those variables be undefined if I define them in the same class?

PS. This thing keeps adding code wrappers on it's own...
