ActionScript 1/2 :: Can't Access TextInput's Text From Inside The Parent Class
Sep 10, 2009
When I add a TextInput to the stage I can access it with instanceName.text. this works. Now I have one Movieclip with one TextInput inside (the textinput's instance name is testetxt). This MovieClip has a corresponding class and its code is the following:
class com.sck.testeT extends MovieClip
{
public var testetxt:MovieClip;
[Code]....
The textinput gets transparent but the text isn't changed... I realized it was because the textinput wasn't initialized yet. so I have to wait a while, but how can I know that it was initialized and I can set the initial text by code?
That class has a loop that creates / instantiates a number of copies of another movieclip from the library. This second movieclip has a textfield child in it. When I convert this textfield to a movieclip I can access the properties of it fine, but just as a dynamic textbox I can't access it.
This is the custom class of the second movieclip that gets instatiated a few times by the first custom class...
This custom class relates to a movieclip that has a child MC called recent_text (which I can access ok) and in that child is another child (a dynamic text field called "aDynamicTextBox", which I can't access)[code]...
I'm using Flashbuilder 4. I have a Spark TextInput control, and I'm implementing a "Copy" button that will copy the selected text only from within this control to the clipboard (pretty much like the RMB Copy does).
I just started programming OOP and I'm running into a scope problem. In the following project, I have a masterClass called App. The App-class has Screens:Screen-class and a Navigation-class as it's children. From the navigation class I want to control which screens will be displayed. I don't know how to do this.
Ok im rather new to flash so ill do best i can to describe this. I have a HealthBar movie clip with 3 layers, bottom layer is just a red rectangle, middle layer is a green rectangle that is a movie clip, and the top layer is just a border. the green rectangle movie clip has an instance name of bar. i put my HealthBar on my stage with an instance name of healthBar and i change it when the players health goes down by calling _root.healthBar.bar._xscale = health where health is 0-100.
this works all fine and dandy. now i have a movie clip of MiniBoss with an instance name of miniBoss# where # is a number of the layer depth when it is created. in the MiniBoss movie clip i have an instance of the HealthBar with an instance name of bossHealthBar. i tried to call from within the MiniBoss class bossHealthBar.bar._xscale = health but i get an error that there is no property of bossHealthBar.bar._xscale. how do i access the bar in the HealthBar in the MiniBoss clip from the MiniBoss class in its onEnterFrame() method?
I have a Main class that has a public var "foo" which is a string. my subClass is a movi clip that has a text field called txt. I want to access the document variable from the sub class but get error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property foo through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.[code]...
Assign an event listener to a protected timer variable in the parent class.
I am working with Adobe LCCS, and created a BatonProperty which implements Baton
Now, Baton has a protected timer variable declared like this, and for some reason, I am unable to get access to this _autoPutDownTimer, from a BatonProperty instance.[code]...
In my situation, I need to use these method to replace the TextInput field to Text class. as the result, I don't know how can I get the updated class name when I was replaced before. I try to use getQualifiedClassName function, and it will get the orginial class name, not the replaced class name Someone got any idea to solve this?
i've got an inheritance chain of AS2 classes set up where i have an array in the 'child' class that i'd like to be able to access from the 'parent' class:
bottomClass.as -'parent' topClass.as -'child'
my question/dilemma is: how can the parent access the properties of a child class...is this even possible, or am i just looking at it wrong?

I can't acces my MC that was created inside my class. 've got a MC "bttn" on my stage, if u create an instance of the BttnClass a copy of the MCbttn is made and given an other position, than I want to play the bttn's(contains multiple frames) and NOTHING happens. The Bttn's are copied,but I can't play them. So my class works but how can I play my buttons?
Class file: ActionScript Code: class Bttn { //variables private var num:Number //constructor function public function Bttn(i) { [Code] .....
I have a movie clip symbol placed on the main timeline. The class linkage to that movie clip is Sheet. Inside Sheet class, I make a public string call _textRow. Inside the Sheet's constructor, I create a new TextField call values_txt. Inside the Sheet class again, I create a public function call updateTable().
The document class is Main. From the Main.as, I need to call updateTable() function to update the text inside values_txt. And I need to find a way to get to values_txt. That's where my problem lies.
Actionscript Code: package{//imported stuff herepublic class Sheet extends MovieClip{public var _textRow:String = " Lorem Lorem again";public function Sheet(){addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initSheet);}public function
[Code]....
Basically, I need to run Sheet's updateTable() from Main.as and update the values_txt.text with _textRow string. But I don't know value_txt's target path.
I created an array of objects and put an event listener on each of them. My problem is that when the object is clicked, I want to access a method inside the object's class but I do not know how to reference its position in the array. This isn't very clear but hopefully my code will make it clearer.
This line is inside while loops and puts an event listener on every square.
[Code].....
How can I know which square has been clicked?
Note: e.target returns the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property placeChar not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value.
I have searched for this everywhere but it seems like every answer is either overcomplicated or simply does not work, and I know for sure there should be a more simple way of achieving what I need. So, until today, I have always coded from within the timeline. But now I realise why I should code in separate class files. However, I still want to include snippets of code in the timeline for simplicity's sake.
I have a TileList that is fed by a DataProvider. The DataProvider places a source Class (and corresponding MovieClip) into the TileList as visual and interactive objects. [code]...
I created a movieclip symbol and exported to actionscript, I created the .as file:
class BRIQUE extends MovieClip { function BRIQUE() {
[Code].....
"graphics" is an image imported on the stage inside my symbol, but it seems not to be accessible this way (I get an error), nevertheless it works this way in as3 then what is the right way in as2 ?
I've created a class that utilizes setInterval...I call it in a different class...and I can't get it to make the setInterval call. I'm thinking there's a scope problem but I don't see it.
Class w/ setInterval:
Code: class Foo { private var id:Number; public function Foo() {[code]....
The function will get called but I need access to the class's instance variables inside display().
I have a child class that is loaded into the parent class when the swf begins, like so: var myvar = 'hello'; public function Parent() { this.child = new Child(); }; How can I retrieve the variable 'myvar' from within child?
I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.
I have a simple quesiton about class, method and functions inside a method and class properties. I created a new class form my custom component.. But upon developing it I found out that you can not access a property inside the function which is also inside a method..
Example Code: class myClass{ private var myProperty:Number = 1; //default is 1 //constructor public function myClass(){ }//Method [Code] .....
What I want to do is to access the property inside the method.. I also have a work-around still i cannot point a certain variable to a property of my class inside the method's function..
