While that is easy to deal with in the flash IDE it takes a little thought in pure asctionscript. The big thing to realize is that _root has to do with the main swf that loads all other swfs. In the flash IDE you would just call: var app:Application = new Application ( _this ); from the timeline and it works. I had a similar problem and fixed it this way. But then I thought about how I would fix the problem in pure code. The answer is arguments. No don't have an argument with the people you are working with. The arguments property of any function will have an argument[0] that is a reference to the calling object. So in pure code, the main function would look like: public static function main():Void { var app:Application = new Application ( arguments[0] ); } I know this is way past the time of these questions but I hope it helps someone else.

Rainer, are you sure that it’s not the event handler losing reference due to lack of method closures?

How are you storing the singleton instance?

If I call function myfunc of the Application from another class, its no longer borged:

class Application:
function myfunc() {
trace(this); //output:[object] instead of _root
}

otherclass() {
function onRelease() {
$app.myfunc();
}
}

Is there some kind of workaround?

thx,

rainer
