ActionScript 3.0 stageWidth in custom Class

Question

How do I access Stage Class properties in Costum Class?

Class:

package {
    import Main;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.Stage;

    public class Run extends Sprite {
        var obj:a1_spr;


        public function Run() {
            runAssets();

        }



        private function runAssets():void {
            obj = new a1_spr()
            addChild(obj);
            obj.x = stage.stageWidth/2;

        }
    }
}

Output:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Answer 1

this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, handleAdedToStage)

private function handleAddedToStage(event:Event):void
{
    this.runAssets()
}

private function runAssets():void
{
    obj = new a1_spr();
    addChild(obj);
    obj.x = this.stage.stageWidth/2;
}

You aren't going to have access to the stage in the constructor (unless you inject the stage into the class). Sprite has a stage property.
