Defining Methods for a Class

 

/*
The syntax for a public method is: 

public function methodName([parameterList]):datatype {
  // Method code goes here.
}

The syntax for a private method is almost identical: 

private function methodName([parameterList]):datatype {
  // Method code goes here.
}

package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){

        var crTest:Car = new Car();
        
        crTest.drive(true);  // Displays: Car is driving.
        crTest.drive(false);  // Displays: Car is stopped.

    }
  }
}

    public function drive(bStart:Boolean):void {
