Actionscript 3.0 Scope Issue?

[DocBoy52]

Okay, so I have two classes. To give a better idea of what I am trying to do here - I am basically working on building a "scale" tool, to scale external graphics. Right now I am working on building the actual scale controller (which basically is a black rectangle, with 8 squares positioned around it (just like you would see in Fireworks, Flash, or Photoshop). That said... here is what I have:


Two classes - ScaleController.as, and ScaleHandle.as
One Flash file - test1.fla

The ScaleHandle class is basically a very small class that draws a 7x7 square on the screen.

package {
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class ScaleHandle extends Sprite {
public function ScaleHandle(xPos, yPos):void {
var scaleHandle:Sprite = new Sprite();
scaleHandle.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF, 1, true);
scaleHandle.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
scaleHandle.graphics.drawRect(xPos, yPos, 7, 7);
scaleHandle.graphics.endFill(); addChild(scaleHandle);
}
}
}


With that, my ScaleController class creates a containing sprite, and then 8 instances of these squares (so each one can independently control the scale point).

var scaleContainer:Sprite = new Sprite(); scaleContainer.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 1, true); scaleContainer.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, propWidth, propHeight); addChild(scaleContainer);

var point1:ScaleHandle = new ScaleHandle(0, 0);
var point2:ScaleHandle = new ScaleHandle(50, 50);
var point3:ScaleHandle = new ScaleHandle(100, 100); scaleContainer.addChild(point1);
scaleContainer.addChild(point2);
scaleContainer.addChild(point3);

My question is now.. can I add event listeners to each of these points??

I tried to do something like:

scaleContainer.point3.addEventListener();

but that doesnt do anything, except produce an error. I am thinking that it's a scope issue. Anybody have any ideas?
