Is there a way in AS2 to approximate the functionality of assigning a document class to a FLA/published swf?
I would like to publish a swf that is an instance of a Topic class (extends movieclip). For various reasons I can't use AS3, but I would really like to emulate that part. Any ideas?
I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");
[code]....
My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.
I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.

View 2 Repliesi have a main page that loads a swf of an xml photogallery onto the main stage. I used the classpath in actionscript settings to target the actionscript files and xml data. So far, everything works well. Now, a button on the stage unloads this swf and then loads a second photogallery. The problem is that when it appears, it contains the same data (images) as the first photogallery. This is because it is using the same classpath as the first gallery. My question is how can i assign each gallery its own class path. It seems that only one can be selected at a time.
View 3 RepliesI created a class for showing a Alert Message Window, everything is working OK while I executed it from Flash, but when I published it I can't see nothing... I tryed in differents browsers, I tryed from localhost, uploading to an internet server, creating crossdomain.xml file in the root server, turning to "Access network only" the Flash Publish preferences... and nothing yet.
Here the class

View 1 RepliesI've extended Sprite to add some common functionality - this is a generic class I use in most of my real-world applications.Everything "works", but I'm curious if there's anything I'm doing that could be done better, or if there are common tasks that should be included that aren't, or if there are members that aren't really that handy and perhaps could be omitted.
For example, there are several members to handle display-list traversal - I've kind of gone back-and-forth on this, and various versions have had methods to remove all siblings, or retrieve an array of elderSiblings and youngerSiblings,etc,but that seemed a little overboard so have been removed.The offsetWidth and offsetHeight are inelegant at best (so clumsy in fact I'm really leaning toward removing them entirely), but AFAIK there's no other way to get back the "true" height/width of an object whose first child is not a position 0.Also I'm curious about the event management overrides. I've run these on several commercial applications and have found them both useful and without any obvious drawbacks, but have never seen anyone else do anything similar,
I'd just like to know whether I'm wasting my time bothering to contact some annoying sales people, if it is out of our price range. This is most likely for deployment of a Flex/Java app in a clustered environment. Community edition is not going to work here.
View 2 RepliesTo some extent I understand it's not feasible, because the system doesn't know if your programmer is keeping hold of some object intentionally or not. But alternatively, can I see the list of objects and memory that has been allocated? This way I can see the name of those objects which are not intended to hold the memory.
View 2 RepliesI've created a card class that holds the specifics properties each card can have. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to associate the graphic with the card. What I have now is a movieclip with each frame representing a different card. The movieclip is linked to the card class I created.I'm trying to do it with variations of this.gotoAndStop(frame#) in the constructor of my card class, which gives me a card graphic but not having much luck in gettng the frame number to increment to the next frame with the next call for: var cardname:cardclass = new cardclass.The worse part of this is I'm not even sure I'm on the right track here, so my main question is: Is this even a viable way to accomplish this? If not, please give an overview outline of how I should be approaching this.

What I would like to do somehow assign a number or word variable to display one of the public classes on the screen instead of all of them at once.
I have a loop which add my button to the stage. However I want to assign a name to the buttons which is the same as the class. I am trying to use the AS keyword with no luck.
var movieList:Array = [AboutBut, WhatBut, OurWork, News, ContactUs];
var tempClip:MovieClip;

I am currently develoing a flash game and I am trying to spawn 2 different symbols from a class. I have a Class called 'PLayerClass', which contains a variable called 'hero' which I assign a symbol to. This works fine with 1 symbol but I have no idea or if it is possible to assign a different symbol to the variable 'hero'. The 2 symbols are 'soldierOrange' and 'soldierGrey'. For both of these symbols I have matching classes (ie. soldierOrange.as).soldierOrange.as

In flash CS3 we can set a base class. What if I do artworks in Flash 8 and code in Flashdevelop? How do I achieve the base class functionality in this situation?
View 8 RepliesI have a problem streaming on-demand f4v-files longer than 1 hour! The video starts normaly playing the stream and the player shows the correct overall duration. But if you start skipping/seeking the overall duration change to 13 h 20m and 28s (instead of 1 hour) and the stream breaks down. All f4v files with less than one hour duration works fine with playing and skipping!
I encode the f4v files with Adobe Media Encoder. I have also checked the f4v file with FLVcheck (passed). So, does anybody have an idea in fixing this problem and which format is the best for FMS streaming (MP4, FLV, F4V?)?

So I know you can assign a base class to a library definition within the Movieclips library information field but If I have 30 items in the library and I change the Base class this becomes a pain in the ass, can this be done programmatically when I instantiate the library definition?
var new_shiz:MyItem1 = new MyItem1(); // Needs to have a generic base class of MyItem
I have a question regarding custom classes. I have created one named HrollBtns with a some scale and alpha roll over behaviors. When I load a jpg using a loader obj. Can I dynamically assign this custom class to the loader? If I had to do this loading an object from the library ...I would first assign the custom class through the linkage prop inspector and then simply add the Child(with my class behaviours) to the stage. Loading external files dont know how to do it...
View 2 RepliesI have a small issue with instantiation of an xml loader class. I'm using a standard way of loading external data and assigning it to "myXML" variable. My class uses event.COMPLETE for loader to make sure that data is fully loaded. Everything works fine until I make an instance of this variable in to my Main() class. The trace of "myXML" gives me null. It's like it didn't assign data on time. Since the onComplete event handler should take care of any delays it is hard for me to figure this out.
View 4 RepliesUsing Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)

If I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,
fla1.fla has a document class of MyMainClass:
public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip
fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass:
public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.
while working with a server side script (php or aspx) which returns some data(from the database) can we call it in a sub-class or do we have to make the calls in the document class itself?
View 2 RepliesSay i need to send some data from AS 3.0 to a server-side script for it to do some actions. Can I do this in a sub-class called some where in a document class or should we always do it in a document class?
View 1 RepliesOk, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?
i have a movie clip which is exported for ActionScript , i want to get a variable from the document class into the movie clip class i tried this but there was an error !!
ActionScript Code:
var main:Main=new Main();
main.txtScore.text="hello";
I have a custom class created by a main document class, and I want the custom class to run a function in document class after some time.
How can I sent the instruction from custom class back to the document class?[code]...
Is there a way I can reference a Movie clip I have on the main stage from a custom class of a document class?[code]

I created a movieclip with a star. Then, I creates a document class and I named it as Main.as.
In that document class I wrote:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
public class Main extends MovieClip
[Code]....
I´m not posting here all the code, but you can easily see that I´m using x_origin and y_origin variables to keep the original position of the movie clip. I will use them to move the star back to the original position.
The problem is that instead of being 20 and 30 respectively, tracing them I see that they are both ZERO. So when I drop the star, instead of going to x=20,y=30 it moves back to x=0 and y=0. I´ve to get the star position relative to stage, but I can´t find anyway!
