1180:Call to a possibly undefined method Punch - actionscript-3

Question

I'm trying to call the punch function from my player class inside another class but for some reason it gives me this error:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Punch.
I'm not sure why it gives me this error. I even made the functions public.
This is the class where i am calling it from:
package
{
public class Player extends MovieClip
{
public function Player()
{
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyPressed);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,Update);
}
function KeyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
//If on floor
if (CanJump)
{
//If A key is down
if (event.keyCode == 65)
{
//Punch
Punch(true);
}
}
}
function Update(event:Event)
{
//Do stuff
}
}
}
and this is what I am trying to call:
package
{
public class ComboSequence extends ComboHandler
{
public function ComboSequence(clipName:String, par:BaseObject, _oList:ObjectList)
{
// constructor code
super(clipName, par, _oList);
}
public function Punch(PunchKey:Boolean)
{
if (currentAttack != null)
{
if (Recovery <= 0 && FollowUpTime > 0)
{
currentAttack = currentAttack.GetNextAttack(PunchKey);
if (currentAttack != null)
{
SetAnimation(currentAttack.animName);
Recovery = currentAttack.Recovery;
FollowUpTime = currentAttack.Recovery + 25;
}
}
}
if (FollowUpTime > 0)
{
FollowUpTime--;
}
else
{
currentAttack = null;
}
if (Recovery > 0)
{
Recovery--;
}
}
}
}

Answer 1

When you call Punch() on its own inside the player class, ActionScript is looking for a Player.Punch() method. Your method is on the ComboSequence class. You're probably trying to do something like this:
var comboSequence:ComboSequence = new ComboSequence();
comboSequence.Punch()
Keep in mind that while this code will run, it probably won't do what you want it to do. I guess you want to keep an instance of ComboSequence in your player object. If that doesn't make sense to you, it would be a good idea to do some background reading on ActionScript and object-oriented programming in general.

Answer 2

You need to import ComboSequence into the Player class and call Punch though that like
ComboSequence.Punch. andypaxo is right in his post, you'd need to instantiate it somewhere within the Player class.
One note about your code, though, you should not name functions with a capital letter. Class names typically start with a capital letter, but not the methods within.
package
{
import ComboSequence; //you may need the package path if its in a package, something like com.classes.ComboSequence, where com.classes is the folder that ComboSequence is saved.
public class Player extends MovieClip
{
public function Player()
{
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyPressed);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,Update);
}
function KeyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
//If on floor
if (CanJump)
{
//If A key is down
if (event.keyCode == 65)
{
//Punch
ComboSequence.Punch(true);
}
}
}
function Update(event:Event)
{
//Do stuff
}
}
}
also, regarding your "missing rightParen" error, rightParen means right parenthesis, or ), leftParen would be (. That error means you are missing a ) somewhere. Often times it can mean you added an extra one somewhere, thus closing a section of parenthesis you didn't mean to close, which would leave one unpaired parenthesis somewhere.
