I stumbled upon this while trying to customize the tree component following the example on the LiveDocs, see [URL].. To see the problem, do the following:
PART 1:
1) create an empty test.fla file
2) put a tree component on the stage
3) convert it to a symbol named TreeNavMenu, export for
Actionscript as TreeNavMenu
[Code]...
I have created this madly complex menu rollout with buttons, tweens lables with dynamic text- you name it..... now I want to duplicte this symbol and change its colour to make a new menu tab, but when I try to do this (by going into it and duplicating each nested part- I am getting a linkage error- **Warning** The linkage identifier 'Symbol1' was already assigned to the symbol 'Symbol 2', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'Symbol 1', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
View 2 Repliesi'm using cs3 and have created an illustrator drawing and made symbols in illustrator so that i can import them into flash. i have successfully imported the drawing into flash but now i've gone back and edited the drawing in illustrator. is there a way i can just update the symbols i've changed rather than having to reimport the whole drawing?
View 4 RepliesI have a few buttons and when I make them a symbol, they look like crap.
Anyone know a trick to make symbols look as good as the imported bitmap?
Assume I know practically nothing about AS3! I'm using Flash Pro CS5. I'm trying to reassociate a flash file I've been given with its external assets and classes. In the library I have a movieclip with linkage to a class called 'StaticMap' using the base class 'flash.display.MovieClip'. am I missing a custom class file called 'StaticMap.as' that was originally located in the same folder as the fla, or is this a generic class accessible to all movieClips from within Flash?
View 7 RepliesI have placed a movieClip to the stage and added a linkage class "drag" to it... this class is basically has drag functionality in it the and the drag position is stored in a variable... How can I send the drag position value from my linkage class to the Document class "main"...?

View 4 RepliesI've been sorting through the XML docs and i've bumped my head into a bit of a question. So, to preface, I have been able to load the XML successfully, but I want to be able to use my own XML loader class to load the XML and then be able to reference it from the document class. Also, I'd like to be able to send a file path to the loader class when I call it.
The document class:
ActionScript Code:
package rg.sites{
// flash classes
[code]....
I have the following parent class that I'm working with:
Code:
package {
import com.poptent.SubClassOne;
import com.poptent.SubClassTwo;

I am trying to set it up so that a parent method called by subClassOneInstance can affect subClassTwoInstance.
I'm just now learning the new object oriented way of scripting. It's been a wild ride, but I've finally learned how to keep script off my frames (very hard coming from as2).Here's my problem:
I have a TextField on the stage in my main .fla file named loadPercent.
I'm loading a jpg with preLoad.as and displaying the bytes loaded in loadPercent.
I can access my loadPercent TextField from my MainClass
but I can't access it from preLoad.as
the document class is MainClass.as
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
I get three '#1120 access of undefined propery' errors for each time i try to access loadPercent.
a few basic questions: 1. all my files are in a folder in my documents, not in the flash directory, is this bad? I've seen people using com.whatever etc.
2. my main .fla file does not share the same name as my MainClass.as (it's not named MainClass.fla) Is that a problem?
I'm assuming these are inconsequential because my code seems to work up to a certain point.
I'm creating an isometric game in AS3, Flash CS4.I created a file named Units.as which contains the following:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
The postoffice and cornershop movieclips have been set to the corresponding class names above.The file is in the same folder as the .fla and can be seen in the project window.When I compile, it doesn't include the Units.as file. Even if it just contains:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
if i create a class from the project window and select the movieclip in the library, it does include that file.So I'm assuming the compiler only includes .as files with filenames corresponding to class names.
My following document class is working fine. But, when I want to import it instead of using as a document class, it reports an error "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.". My class code is here:
package{ import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Shape; import flash.text.TextField; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class Shapes extends Sprite { var square: Sprite = new Sprite(); var txt: TextField = new TextField(); public

i have create game i was in last stage of this game development suddenly error occur that it removes base class of all linkage objects, and if i m trying to put base class of objects(flash.display.MovieClip) then it can't support,

I have a problem with loading SWF and access to their elements by class linkage in Adobe AIR 2.6 for Android.
Problem: I have two different .swf files:
file1.swf (in which MovieClip with name1 has class linkage 'mainScreen')
file2.swf (in which MovieClip with name2 has class linkage 'mainScreen')
They have some action script code, which I need to import in my application domain. Files downloading great. After downloading they are in differen app domains But when I'm getting elements by class linkage and add them to stage - only element which was loaded second is shown. Looks like second movieclip with same class linkage replaces the first one.
For this I'm using such approach:
how can I load two different elements SWF files, which have elements with same class linkage, or explain why I can not do this? When elements have different class linkages - all OK. But!!! It is working for web, but for air it don't want to work.
package
{
import flash.display.*;

I have a series of movieClip extension classes that are currently being applied via linkage in the library. I'm trying to find a way to loop the stage at compile and apply the classes to objects with specific instance names instead.
As it is now, if someone duplicates the library instance of a clip on the stage (which happens a lot), it loses the linkage. I could memo the entire dev team and tell them to re-apply the linkage anytime they dupe a clip, but I'd really rather not ask that of everyone...
After exhaustive searching, I'm still coming up with nothing for an actual AS2 solution to this. The only workaround I'm even finding is to create a variable reference to the clip in the class constructor, but I do not want that.

So the sound file's name in the Library is "1-welcome.wav", for the Linkage Properties, it is as follows: Class: "mySound", Base class: "flash.media.Sound", Export for ActionScript checked, Export in first frame checked. When i first renamed the Class in he Linkage Property i got: "A definition for this class could not be found in the classpath, so one will be automatically generated in the SWF file upon export."
I have a class that has a constructor which accepts some parameters.
Code:
class MyClass {
var myNumber:Number;
function MyClass(number) {
myNumber = number;
}}
Is there a way I can link this to a movieclip and pass the parameter? From what I've found there are two ways to link the class to a movieclip, one using the registerClass and another typing the name intro the Linkage Box in the Library. But in both cases there are no parameters being setup.
I have a mc(which has my buttons and instance names) in the library, which I attach to the stage. I've added a faux linkage class as StickyNote. But I'm having issue accessing those button instances so I can add events etc.[code].....
View 9 RepliesFlex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

I'm trying to create a linkage to swap movie clip dynamically. I already create a linkage and after my movie clip symbol actuall say Export: contact_idea. But when I try to attachMovie("contact_idea"). It does nothing. Is there anyway that I can test that the linkage is actuall linked?
View 2 RepliesIf one uses [Embed] to refer to external graphic assets its easy to instantiate and use them.However, I've got a png in an Fla, with the Class identifier set to "Symbols", Base class is BitmapData.I need to instantiate it like this:
var symbols:BitmapData = new Symbols(1, 1);
addChild(new Bitmap(symbols));
Of course the compiler complains about a call to a possibly undefined method Symbols.For a temporary fix I guess i'll put the graphic external to the swf, but for this project it needs to be in the library along with everything else.
I have a movie clip that holds one bitmap image, some simple AS3 to change the image displayed, and a ton of bitmaps I've imported into my library.Currently, I swap the images by changing the bitmapData
holder.bitmapData = new test2(1,1);
but this requires me to check off 'Export for ActionScript' in every symbol. I'd rather not go through every bitmap in the library and do this, is there some way to reference them by their library name?

View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with a scrollbar I created when I use an external preloader. The scrollbar is defined in an external class and works just fine when I compile that SWF and also when I view it. When I load the main SWF through the preloader, I lose any functionality on the scrollbar. Its like the preloader SWF strips the scrollbar class definition from the main SWF. Is this possible? Does anyone know what's going on here?
View 2 RepliesI have a symbol named picHolder. In symbol properties under linkage, I chose "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in frame 1" and gave it a class name of picHolder.Normally, to instantiate a new instance, I'd say:
Code:
var tempPic:picHolder = new picHolder();
and I'd go about my way.

I have run into a strange and annoying problem since updating to Flash Professional CS5.5 on my work computer.Sometimes, seemingly randomly, Flash stops compiling things correctly. I Test Movie by hitting Cmd+Return and it just displays what's on the stage, frame 1. The document class is never initialized, no errors at all, no trace statements print out; it acts as if there is no code at all. After this happens once, it will continue to do this until I restart Flash, which fixes the problem. However, restarting Flash every 10 - 15 minutes is very annoying.It seems to happen regardless of what project I'm working on or what state the project is in (i.e. if the code contains errors or not). All of our projects use external AS3 classes (no code on the timeline).
