AS3 Help: timeline functions

[ShooterMG]

Say I have a function on the main timeline called addBullet()

How do I access this from one of my class files?

Why dont you just add the function as a private function in your class.

Because I'm working with the display list and other variables on the main timeline, and this would just be more convenient.

Also if it helps explain my situation better, I have an enemy class, and when he shoots I need to instantiate a bullet object. If I had the function as a private function part of the enemy class, I would have to instantiate a bullet inside the enemy class, pass it to the main timeline to add it to the bulletArray, and add it to the display list, then destroy the previously instantiated bullet. This would take up more resources and CPU cycles than if i were to just simply have it all done on the main timeline to begin with.
