ActionScript 1/2 :: Reference Static Class Vars Via A String?
Feb 5, 2010
I am trying to set the value of some static vars but I need to reference the class with a string rather than a proper constructor. In AS3 I can do this with:
var ref:Class = getDefinitionByName(classDefinitionAsString) as Class;
ref[varNameAsString] = newValue;
I can't find an equivelant approach that will work in AS2 though. I have tried:
var ref:Object = new [classDefinitionAsString];
ref[varNameAsString] = newValue;
This seems to just create an Object and as the vars that I am trying to access are static I don't really want to be using 'new' I just want to reference the vars.

If I only instantiate a class once should I make its vars static? I understand how this is of benefit if I make multiple classes, clearly you use less memory as it creates a reference to the same place for each class. Are there any other benefits for creating static vars or functions ?
For example I have my class 'MainMenu' which I create once (might even be my document class). In it I create a
Code:
private var someHolderForStuff:Sprite = new Sprite();
Should I rather create
Code:
private static var someHolderForStuff:Sprite = new Sprite();

I have the following code:
var myPercStr = myStr.text;
myPercStr= myPercStr.toString();
var myPerc = Number(myPercStr);
I am trying to get the value of a text field which is created by the user pushing a pin-pad. This text field is a string which is joined() from an Array of the sequence of pin-pad entries. Now my problem is that Flash will not convert the .text text field into a string with which I can use the value to convert to a Number and perform math on it.

I have a static utility class that must have a reference to the stage, and I'm not sure what is the best option for me to get the stage inside my class...
I've thought of these options:Pass in as a parameter of the function Have a static variable I can set to the stage I don't like either of these because they are ugly.
What methods can you suggest for me to get a reference to the stage in my static class?

I'm trying to make methods available like so:
ActionScript Code:
MyClass.myFunc();
Instead of
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
myVar.myFunc();
I know that to do so I need to declare the functions/variables/constants as static:
ActionScript Code:
package MyPackage {
public class MyClass extends Object {
public static function myFunc():void {
} public function MyClass() {
[Code] .....
When I try to access the static function through the full reference (i.e trace(MyPackage.MyClass.myFunc);), it works, while trace(MyClass.myFunc); returns undefined. This contradicts what I've read in tutorials and posts on the Internet. They all use the short syntax, not the full path.

What I'm looking for is a way to reference the document class instance, to be able to access functions and variables that other classes need. I'm currently doing it with this little piece of code I found on some blog or forum.
Code: Select all// This is in the document class
private static var _instance:DocClass; // I have tried setting this to public and accessing it directly as well
public static function get instance():DocClass { return _instance; }

Error: Access of undefined method getStatus through reference with a static type Class.
Here's what's happening in the code. I'm trying to create a User class that is instantiated at the start of my app. I want the User class to have properties like mainStatus, with helper methods like setStatus etc. Pretty simple.
so on my HardDisk I have my flash_working folder with all my flash projects. I created my class file/package under the directory com.mypackage
[Code]....
That's all the code I have.
If I try to access the public var mainStatus through user.mainStatus that gives a similar error saying:
Error: Access of undefined property mainStatus through reference with a static type Class.

I have the actionscript code here for a bubble popping game. When the game starts, bubbles fall down from the top of the game to the bottom and score is kept for the most bubbles clicked or popped in 30 seconds.The size of the bubble is defined by the initialize method in the code, and uses ToString() to calculate the score. ToString gives me a 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method Random through a reference with static type uint. This error which I cannot figure out where it comes from.[code]

I've been using Adobe Flash CS4 for a couple of days. I've drawn a worm, with eyes and a mouth and these pieces are all MovieClip symbols. I have exported them to actionscript with the class name being the same as what they are (ie. the mouth MovieClip is exported as mouth). The mouth has 2 frames, one smiling and one frowning. I need to mouth to stay smiling at first, so in Frame 1 actions I wrote:

I have a site with ScrollPanes, that are calling a Class on what to display. (so the movieclip that I want displayed in the ScrollPane has a Class name.) Within that movieclip (webScroll) that is being displayed in the scrollpane, I have 2 other movieclips (web1 & web2), with unique instance names and eventlisteners targeting those instances. when I preview my site, i get this error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property web2 through a reference with static type Class.

I'm trying to make a flash animation but I'm getting these two errors: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property enabled through a reference with static type Class. (line 4) 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class. (line 5) This is the code I'm using:
Code: Select allimport flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
stop();
buti.enabled;
buti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pla);
function pla(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
My animation is a initial photo that turns around and becomes a black backgroud (were I'll add some text), now what I want is that the photo won't animate until I do a click in it. I used a Layer with a transparent image and converted it to a button and the export name is buti. The other to layers were converted to movie clips named preto and foto.

Let's say you have the following situation:
1. Static var(an Array) stored in a class.
2. You create a variable reference to the static class in a separate class.
3. Splice some items from the reference variable in the separate class.
4. Trace the static class and the items have been removed from that too.
5. Verify several times.
6. Get confused.
7. Post on Kirupa.

I have a custom class called RichButton. It throws a custom event, featuring the line
[Code]....
so far so simple right? But now i get the 1119 error Access of undefined property BUTTON_CLICKED though a refernece with static type Class. Here's the odd part- I can use the class as normal, and access any of its public methods/properties. If i move the RichButton.as from my shared code folder into my project folder (alonside my swf and flashDevelop project files) it works fine. I have exactly the same (as fr as i can tell) structure running in another project and it works perfectly. I've tried cutting and pasting across and trying to find what i;ve done differently but no luck.
