I understand how to tell Flash that a preexisting symbol in the library should belong to a certain custom class, but how do you do this when creating movie clips w/ createEmptyMovieClip?
View 1 RepliesI am creating Movieclips on the fly from a database but I cant manage to create the objects with unique ID. One more problem is that I have to place the objects on a targeted movieclip. This is the code....
Code:
mainMap.map.pan.top_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("myOBJ", getNextHighestDepth());
mainMap.map.pan.top_mc.myObj.loadMovie("hast.swf");
[code].....
I have a my class file, as such:
class custom.myprojectname.load_photos {
public function load_photos(){
createEmptyMovieClip("myMC", 1);
[code].....
How do I create MovieClip in class. I tried to use createEmptyMovieClip. But unless I use _root.createEmptyMovieClip, it is not working.
Code:
class LoadM {
private var mcAlpha:Number;
var defX:Number;[code]....
This code is working fine. But I don't want to use _root.createEmptyMovieClip. I tried this.createEmptyMovieClip, but it is not working.
Why doesn't the trace "over" work on the below code?
class custom.myprojectname.load_photos {
public function load_photos(){
var num_img:Number = 8;
[code]....
I know it is possible to attach a class to a movieclip that exists in the library by checking 'Export for ActionScript' and specifying an 'AS 2.0 class' for that symbol.
I would really like to know if it's also possible to attach a class to a movieclip that was created by using the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method.

Is it possible to automatically assign an object to a class during testing project? I know you can do so by assigning in a movie clip's property the identifier but I need to know if I'm say creating a game, and it gives the user the ability to choose a player, I need that player/movie clip that the user chose to be assigned to a specific actionscript class.
View 4 Repliesi am currently having a scenario where I have a Container class and wish to extend it's capabilities to TabContainer and SliderContainer. Both the component are using the same swf file.
Can I define a linkage for the movieclip in library using Container and change it to TabContainer dynamically through actionscript? How?
How you can assign a class to an object on stage.[code]...
This would make a new object, but the current object already exists, it just needs to be notified that it's of the type "ClassName" so it can inherit it's properties.I've also tried assigning the "ClassName" in the linkage as either the base path or the class name. But in either situations I get an error saying that the class needs to be unique when I use the same class on multiple objects.
assign an a:hover to a specific class in AS3, such as:
.className.a:hover { }
Flash seems to ignore this.
I have two text fields on main stage, manualy created. So I`m trying to assign them to one class and then to manipulate with their content:
In my fla I have:
ActionScript Code:
var myWinnings:Number = 1111;
var myCoins:Number = 1111;
[Code].....
I just need to assign some value to my TextField. How do I do that?
The thing is, I didn`t create textfield on the run, and I don`t know how to instance it so I can access to it from my class.
Write well let me see if i can explain this:I have created a class that will create a movie class colour block:
Code: Select allimport com.si.mc. CreateBlockClip;
import com.si.mc.newClass;
var myBar:CreateBlockClip = new CreateBlockClip("bar",300,5);
[code]....
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'm loading a SWF-File containing a movieclip(testButton).

<mx:SWFLoader id="testSWF" x="0" y="0" complete="testSWFHandler(event)" source="assets/testButton.swf"/>

I am trying to assign a sound class, but found it was greyed out.
View 2 RepliesI have a BuildingSprite that extend Sprite. I try to load external swf library into my main application. I have this code and it works fine:
[Code]...
basically i want to be able to load different button.swf files, like button1.swf button2.swf etc and assign them a class so the class handles all the default behaviour of the button. This is for skinning purposes. I want to be able to load a button.swf file into my main movie ( the button.swf has no actionscript in it at all, just the graphics ) and then make it an instance of a existing class like for example button.as . the clips are not in the library so i can not specify the class in the linkage properties. It has to be loaded externally.
View 4 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is store a movieclip inside each array element using a for loop.However, I have 2 movieclips to choose from and I want the movieclip to be randomly assigned to each element in the array.Here's what I have so far but the syntax is obviously wrong:
Code:
var enemyArray:Array = new Array();
var randomEnemyNo:int;
var noOfEnemyMC:int = 2;[code].....
I would like to know if it is the same to assign properties to my custom component in its own class, or from the parent document. Here I assign the property bottom in my custom component class:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:LinkButton bottom="20" >
<mx:Script>
Here I assign the property bottom when I use the component in my main MXML file
<myComp:Brick bottom="10"/>
Given a dynamic or non-dynamic class like the following:
package {
public class MyClass {
public var myProperty:String;
public var myBooleanProperty:Boolean;
public function MyClass() {}
}}
Flex 3 allows you to assign a value to myProperty like this:
myClassInstance["myProperty"] = "myValue";
myClassInstance["myBooleanProperty"] = true;
I regularly parse XML to get property names and their values then update correlated classes using this technique; however, Flex 4 no longer allows assigning the boolean property. I don't have a work-around.
If you trace the results:
trace(myClassInstance.myProperty) // Returns "myValue"
trace(myClassInstance.myBooleanProperty) // Returns null
I am trying to assign a variable to a view navigation as follows:
protected function list_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var name1:String = list.selectedItem.vPage;
var name2:Object = list.selectedItem.vPage.valueOf();
[Code]....
As the View is presented as a static and not a variable. When you try to submit it as a variable in any format (String, Object) an error occurs.
Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "IM" to Class.
how I can send the (View)Class as a variable or if this is a bug in the SDK
Does anyone know how to assign an external class to a newly added child to the stage.
What I'm doing is using a button to pull in a Movie Clip from the library.[code]...
I'll try to make this as clear as possible. Let's say i have 4 "classes".
[Code]...
Let's say now i use a loop to create 8 obj. I'd like to assign a class to each obj in function of an array like : array = [class1, class2, class1, class3, class2, class4... ] so obj0 class' should be array[0]
I have some code from a library which actually compiles and runs fine, even though it seems like it shouldn't.
Code:
public class MyClass extends Object
{
public var clip:Sprite;[code].....
Code: You cannot assign 'Class' to 'Sprite'. Found 'newparam1;' at line 22 but the compiler lets it through just fine and it runs perfectly.
I am trying to pass FlashVars into public class EventDispatcher to set the path to data.xml. I need it because the name and path of the xml file will be dynamically created. I need to use Flashvar in order to access the correct path.I was able to pass Flashvar from html page on timeline this way:
Actionscript Code:
var Flashvars:String = LoaderInfo(stage.loaderInfo).parameters.xmlfile;
Then, I was able to use it with new UrlRequest;
Actionscript Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Flashvars);
This method works really good, but this solution only works on timeline.I need to implement this technique in the class. Before I setup a static var for with the path to xml file. I'd like to be able to get FlashVar withing this class and assign this string to 'public static var DATA_XML_URL:String' I have there. This way I can pass Flashwar to the project I already have.
Actionscript Code:
import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.LoaderInfo; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Stage;public class ConfigManager extends EventDispatcher {

I have written a framework that facilitates RPC calls between AS3 and PHP 5 called FlashMOG. I recently got a forum request that has introduced a pretty bizarre question regarding access control. This will be a lot easier to discuss if you have access to the FlashMOG 0.3.1 client source which is here:
[code]...
The basic idea is that I have a FlashMOGService class which has an RPCSocket member that it may share with other FlashMOGService objects. The idea is that you can create two distinct FlashMOGService objects and have them both connect to the same host/port via socket. I use my special RPCSocket class for two reasons:
1) Let developers use one port but separate functionality into two distinct services...a form of multiplexing i guess
2) RPCSocket adds functionality to the standard Socket class that works to serialize and unserialize data and get it where it needs to go. The essence of the problem here is that created a class with a FlashMOGService object as a member and has tried to assign a private method of his class as an event handler to the FlashMOGService object:
[Code]....
My initial thought is that this should be fine because it's all done within the class. However, when I consider the monkey chain that results in this function being called, it seems almost logical that it wouldn't work. The problem is that the browser freezes when a socket message arrives that tries to call the service's client method, _service.client.firstClientMethod. This client firstClientMethod is attempted when data arrives from the server on the Socket (an RPCSocket, actually). The RPCSocket class deserializes the socket data and extracts an array with a service name, a method name, and an array of arguments. It looks into its own private class variable (an array of services using the RPCSocket) and tries to invoke whatever function was assigned thusly:
[Code]....
I'm guessing there's some kind of infinite loop going on to check access control for the various intertwined classes.
ve been trying to populate an empty MovieClip in AS3. I can get my head around it if I create an empty movie clip and place it in the library, and then add it to the stage and then add other MCs from the library to it.But I want to make multiple empty MCs and fill each one with MCs. I want to do this using for loops so I can control as many as I need.I dont know how to write the code. I can do it in AS2! but thats not the point!here's the simple version:::
Code:
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++)
