ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Buttons Activating Multiple Items?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Multiple Items?
Jun 3, 2010I have entered the following code and both items do import, but i cant control the label of the second library item called "Cool"After doing some digging, i think i found out the class name of the second object was called "Cool" and the base class was "import flash.display.SimpleButton;" so it looked like i had to import that class at the top like i did! But still not working. and still no joy!I think i need to add in "public class Cool extends SimpleButton" so it inherits the SimpleButton class after the first public class and then create a new function called "public function Cool() " and then add the function body but when i go to do that it all goes wrong. Am i on the right track or am i missing a trick!!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Multiple Items To A HitTestObject?
Apr 11, 2012I have a horizontally scrolling flying game involving a character and diferent types of food moving across the screen from right to left which the character has to collect ("hit"). I have the hitTestObject working for 2 different food movieclips with one item belonging to a healthyList, and the other to a junkList.
how to add more items (movieclips) to each of the lists, so that I have for example 6 items in the healthyList and 4 items in the junkList.
Below is the code in my Engine.as file. The red highlighted text is the code that creates the problem. I thought that I just needed to add this line in order to add another item to the "healthyList" of food types, but I obviously have it in the wrong place or have the wrong code completely.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Events To Multiple Items?
May 13, 2011I have a DisplayObject at the bottom, that's clickable and has a hover state, underneath a TextField. The big problem is, I need all MouseEvents to go to *both* of them, not just the TextField, not just the DisplayObject. Reason being is I have text that require tooltips to be attached to the mouse which are on top of those DisplayObjects underneath.
package
{
import flash.display.InteractiveObject;
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]....
You can see the affect of the above example here, http:[url].... Now, what I want to force happen is when you mouse over any of the text area, the text to pick up that event, as well as any other mouse event,as well as the DisplayObject underneath. To put it one way, I want to have my cake, and eat it too. I want the text to act the way it is in this example, but also to have it work as if I had mouseEnabled equal to false on the text.

If that's my only option here... I'll begrudgingly go that way again, but I'd love to find a better solution and really do think there must be, insofar as I could just clone the event down the line to the next child at that point.

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Removing Multiple Items From An ArrayCollection Using SelectedIndices
Dec 5, 2011I have an ArrayCollection that is the dataProvider for a spark.components.List, which has allowMultipleSelection="true". There is a "Remove Selected Items" button which initiates the removal of all the selected items from the ArrayCollection upon being clicked.
I currently use the following method:
myList.selectedIndices.sort(ascendingSort);
// remove items, counting backwards
for (var i:uint = myList.selectedIndices.length; i > 0; i--) {
myArrayCollection.removeItemAt(myList.selectedIndices[i-1]);
}
where ascendingSort does what you expect ;). It works fine, and I know that it will always work.
However, I did take note that if I neglected the sort altogether, to my surprise the removal still worked. The reason for this turned out to be that, when the removeItemAt is called, the selectedIndices are correspondingly updated.
So my question is: Can one rely upon a removeItemAt call updating the values in the selectedIndices? or might that turn out to be different between runtimes and/or Flex SDK versions?

I'm assuming this should work except for one issue, the above code is within another object that I have set to be able to clickdrag (so you can drag the whole map at once). Because of this, using "this.onMouseDown" seems to apply to the entire mapObject and gets the depth for each of the 2,000 some odd objects I've created. How do I set it up so that if I click on a nodeObject it gets the depth for just that and assigns it to a variable?

View 0 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Where To Create Array Of Items (Which Class File)
Jan 25, 2012This is a hard question to phrase and having trouble finding the right search terms. In the last couple of weeks I have been learning AS 3.0 and the fantastic Classes that are cool as heck (not a programmer... well sort of). Everything has been working great and I've grasped the concepts well, but because of my lack of experience I am not sure of the "best" way to do some things. For example where (which "as file" to create an array of characters?)
This is a very simple game:
25 "characters" (character class in Character.as)
All characters have the exact same properties with different values:
charName:int
life:int
strength:int
movement:int
type:String
char_mc:MovieClip (or sprite.. probably mc)
There are 2 types of characters; shipCrew and aliens. The differences between the two is that shipCrew can use various weapons and have unique "names". Aliens don't have names, just a type and they can grow and/or multiply. All of the interaction and basic game play I can handle no problem once I figure out "where" to create my characters and classes and or subclasses. My initial "training experiments" worked well... until I started reading up on "best practices" in coding and realized I had it kind of all mixed up and backwards. My concern is "doing it wrong at the start".
My first stab at this was to create the array of ALL characters in the "main.as" class for the document, then looping the array, creating new character instances on the stage. Since each character has different properties I just created the same array properties for each with a different value. So basically I am "hard coding" all the characters up front "by hand" so to speak with all the properties in the array. Since they were all identical basically, looping the array to "do stuff" was straight forward... for now. The array looks horrible in the code and is hard to "read" but since it's all "static" anyway it doesn't seem to matter... but would still like to "do it right".
Game play is simple because at a basic level each character regardless of what type it is will do the same thing. I would expand on the differences later. However as part of this inquiry I will need class instances on the stage to communicate with each other (like the idea of a registry for this). So my questions are:
Should I create individual as class files for all 25 characters? (icky?)
Or use an array to store the character class objects? A dictionary? A vector?
They all worked, I tried them all. I like arrays better because easier to deal with, but dictionaries look like fun and might be more efficient (only 25 items, how bad could it be?) storing in an object works too. Whatever type of "array thingy" I choose, Which class file do I create the array in? In the "main" document class or the character class itself? In another type of file like an "init" file? Could I create a "custom" file "type" or class... thingy like "CharacterCreator.as"? How about using a registry?
