I have created an object called myObj.
How do I create a class that I can call that will assign properties to myObj such that PHP Code:
myObj = {foo:15, bar:"hello"}
...?
BTW, I do not want to just say
PHP Code:
var myObj:Object = {foo:15, bar:"hello"}
...because in fact I am going to be creating a bunch of objects all having the same properties, and there will be many more such objects.
I made a movie clip that is linked to a class named "Fugel". In the "Fugel" class I want to access the object's properties (x, y, rotation, alpha...) that I created in the main FLA file. I'm trying to center it in the constructor, but I don't know how to. The "this" keyword doesn't seem to work.
Here is the code for the "Fugel" class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Fugel extends MovieClip {
public function Fugel() {

i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

this's been bugging me, anyone know what's wrong?
I have some simple Sprites that I'm putting into an array. However, when I click on them I want to trace what their position is in the array. How do I go about doing that?
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = new Array();
var mySpriteOne:sprite = new Sprite();
mySpriteOne.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
[Code]....
I want to add some mouse click listeners and then I want to trace the currentTarget's position in the array. I just have no idea what parameters to give the trace().
I basically want to trace an object within a layer (or the child within a layer), for example:
test.text = _level0.child;
And this would give me the movie clip name contained within the layer?
check out the attached file. Don't ask me why, but I need that yellow rectangle to follow that grey dot, which rotates around randomly... but see, if you place the dot to the center left of the grey rectangle, you see that the yellow rectangle screws up. I've deducted that this happens for this reason: to the left of the grey rectangle, the rotation value is 178... 179... 180... then it jumps to -180... -179... -178... (you can try this out using an onEnterFrame function and tracing the rotation of an object that follows the mouse).
Since the yellow rectangle follows the grey dot with an ease, it doesn't just do: rectangle._rotation = dot._rotation But instead: rectangle._rotation += Math.round((dot._rotation-this._rotation)/rotatespeed) Some of you guys should already be familiar with this kind of movement, but it's usually used to move objects smoothly. The bug here is that whenever that dot randomly jumps up into -180 from it's original position at below 180, it screws up the yellow rectangle.
I have an array of objects. What I would like to do is get the last index of an object whose property equals a certain value.
Ex:
// this occurs on a mouse click
var stockObj:Object = new Object();
stockObj.ID = "an_id";
stockObj.category = "a_category";
array.push(stockObj);
//psuedo
trace(array.lastIndexOf(stockObj.category=="a_category"));
I would like this to trace the index of the object whose category property equals "a_category"
The author shows a function that is supposed to trace the contents of any display object. In his example file he has several nested movie clips on the stage and everything works just as it should, this is the code.
ActionScript Code:
function showChildren(dispObj:DisplayObject):void {
for (var i:uint = 0; i < dispObj.numChildren; i++) {
var obj:DisplayObject = dispObj.getChildAt(i)
[code]....
The problem I am having is that when I open a new actionScript 3 .fla and try to recreate the nested movie clips and use the same code I get these errors:
ActionScript Code:
line 3 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildAt through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
var obj:DisplayObject = dispObj.getChildAt(i)
line 2 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
for(var i:uint = 0; i < dispObj.numChildren; i++){
I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

I have a class, call it MyClass, and there are several variables that I need to be able to access each instance of from within the class.So for instance, I need the object myObject1, a member of MyClass, to store the variable myNumber.From the main timeline, if I trace myObject1.myNumber, I get whatever number I've stored.
However, I need to check the numbers against another parameter, so I need to be able to test if myObject.myNumber == myOtherNumber. But from within the class, if I trace this.myNumber or myNumber I get null.What is the proper syntax for accessing a variable within a class?
I have an mc called sunny. In the properties panel I export her for actionscript. I put Sunny in the main class and Drag in the base class. The reason for this is that I want her to be draggable. I can't use Drag in the main class as another object is using that name. The Drag.as has the drag functionality. Why can't I drag her. I already have a solution - I wrote a specific class for her and extended the Drag class. However, if I have 10 mcs I'm not going to write specific classes for all of them. Summing up: Using the base class Drag in properties panel - why isn't she draggable?

I'm basically loading an XML file to assign instances of a movie clip a distinct value, which it uses to modify its height. So, I'm looping through the xml and instantiating my class Object each time (Rect) and then placing that Object into an array:

if(loaded){
var boxArray:Array;
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

the trace here always comes up undefined. "listPosition" in this bit is an Rect parameter, defined in the previous bit of code as "i", so I can keep track of the order of the stack.I've found one or two examples of putting objects into an array and getting them back out, but it doesn't seem to work with this, maybe because I'm using a class. I don't know.Could this be an area where I need to use the array access brackets, like around the movie clip the object is loaded into. I've tried everything I can think of -- referencing back to the movieclip, adding extra objectRef type parameters... nothing has worked yet.
I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

I have a class CoverPoint extends Pointwith some extra function.except for that ther is no difference.

View 7 RepliesI've been working on a project in Flash CS3 for a while. To follow an object on the screen and keep it centered, I'd adjust the Document Class' x and y properties.
Yesterday I bought/installed Flash CS5 and thus Flash Player 10 was also installed. Now when I go play my SWF it seems everything is all buggy, as if the code that modifies the Document Class' x and y properties isn't exactly working properly...
I've since reopened the CS3 FLA in CS5 and converted it to a CS5 format and I can't seem to get it working the way it used to.
Did something change regarding the Document Class and how to modify the x / y properties of it in the Flash Player 10 version? I really don't know what's going on at this point.
I'm working in CS4. I am trying to add 20 squares to the stage. Each square must have a different number in the middle(1, 2, 3, etc.).
This is my code so far:

Ideally, I would like the squares to be added automatically, with increasing numbers and 100 x 100 pixels apart. Possibly a 'for-loop' statement?
