actionscript 3 - Error #2136 - simple issue - actionscript-3

Question

This is extremely basic, but to help me understand could someone please explain why this doesn't work. Trying to call a function from one as file to another, and get the following error.
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///test/Main.swf contains invalid data.
at code::Main()[C:\Users\Luke\Desktop\test\code\Main.as:12]
Error opening URL 'file:///test/Main.swf'
Main.as
package code {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import code.Enemy;
public class Main extends MovieClip
{
public function Main()
{
var enemy:Enemy = new Enemy();
}
public function test():void
{
trace("Test");
}
}
}
Enemy.as
package code {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import code.Main;
public class Enemy extends Main {
public function Enemy() {
var main:Main = new Main();
main.test();
}
}
}

Answer 1

Assuming Main is your document class, you can't instantiate it. That might explain the SWF invalid data error.
What it looks like you are trying to do is access a function on Main from your Enemy. To do that you just need a reference to Main from inside your Enemy class. If you add the Enemy instance to the display list you can probably use root or parent to get a reference to Main. You could also pass a reference to Main through the constructor of your Enemy class:
public class Main {
public function Main() {
new Enemy(this);
}
public function test():void {
trace("test");
}
}
public class Enemy {
public function Enemy(main:Main) {
main.test();
}
}

Answer 2

From the constructor of the class Main you are creating the Object of Enemy. In the constructor of Enemy you are creating the Object of Main. Hence it continues to create those two objects until there is Stack overflow. It never reaches to the line where you have main.test();

Answer 3

if you wana get data frome main.as you can use the static var.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main extends MovieClip {
// i well get this var in my Enemy as.
public var i:uint=1021;
public function txtuto() {
// constructor code
}
}
}`
// the Enemy.as
`package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Enemy extends MovieClip {
public static var tx:Main = new Main;
public function Enemy() {
trace(tx.i);
}
}
}
good luck.
