I have four movie clips in my library that are defined as classes: Option0, Option1, Option2 and Option3. I have four buttons that pass a different value from 1-4 to a function. I want to add the clip to the display list that relates to the passed value. In AS2 it would go something like:this.attachmovie["option"+currentVal, "newOption", this.getNextHighestDepth()];
View 3 RepliesI'm building a simple Pong-esque game and I've 'hit' a problem. I'm having an issue with referencing one variable from one class into another. Sounds confusing to me, even harder to understand.
Basically I've got this in my "game.as" class:
ActionScript Code:
public var pongBall:ball;
and in my "player1.as" class I am trying to get said ball to bounce off the player's bat on contact. I think I have the coding right for it apart from trying to link it to the ball from game.as! So far I have this:

public function bounceTest (event:Event) {
if (this.hitTestObject("game.as".startGame.pongBall)) {

Long time ago I've been creating some as 2.0 projects, all of them based on the code within the timeline. I wanted to start learning as 3.0 based on classes rather on timeline but I find it confusing and difficult to understand introduction into the classes. I can't get to understand why the following example is not working :
I've got 3 files:
main.fla with main class "Main"
Code:
no code
Main.as

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import projectconfig.Configurator;
public class Main extends MovieClip {
var projectConfigurator:Configurator;

Before this application runs, I have to do some basic intialising - load up some stuff, build the display list, check I've got the right xml, wire a few objects together. I'm used to doing all of this stuff in the constructor of Main() - my main application class, but it gets a little unwieldy. Would there be any mileage in offloading this into a command class? Is that common practice? I was thinking that way all that Main() would have to do is just listen for events and manipulate methods of the other main classes. The only thing that concerns me is that Main needs references to the main classes and to add event listeners etc. This could be tricky if it's all set up in a command...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a dynamic menu. I load four buttons to the stage and applie code to each of the buttons. But it's only the last button loaded, that responds to onRollOver/onRollOut If I roll over the other buttons it's the last buttons that reacts all the time. I just can't see what's wrong. I'm sure it pretty simple. Here's the code:

I am trying to create a gallery. I am having a problem coding the document class for a menu window ("galleryPane"), which is to be called into the Main class at runtime. In particular, I am encountering problems dynamically creating the thumbs container. I want the thumbs container to be accessible from both the galleryPane class and the Main gallery class [the galleryPane class will need to control thumbsContainer scrolling properties, and the Main class will load content into it].
I have an empty movieclip in the .fla library (with a class name of "All_thumbs" for exporting purposes). In my galleryPane class, I have created a new public instance of this (called "thumbsContainer") and have added that within the nested structure in the menu. However, when I call it in a later function to manipulate its movement, the undefined term error is thrown and I cannot understand why. Here is what I have in the galleryPane document class.

import flash.display.MovieClip;

View 1 RepliesI have some dynamic text fields that gets its value from xml file. Everything works well but when a node in xml is empty, flash displays "undefined", is there a way to not display that message and just leave the field blank?
View 2 RepliesBeen trying to make the transition from AS 2 to 3 but not without it's speed bumps. My first major hurdle has been trying to dynamically reference a class by only knowing it's name. I came across the code of import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName; but that's not working for some reason. It keeps giving me the error:
Quote:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable characterType5 is not defined.
My code in getting this is:
PHP Code:
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
var className:String = "characterType" + 5;
var tempClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as Class;
var char = new tempClass();
I'm building an application where it would be sweet to use dynamic instantiation of Classes.I'm using "flash.utils.getDefinitionByName" to get this done and, if I instantiate the Class in my code once, there is no problem at all.But, I want to be able to do this without instantiating the Class at least once before I go with the getDefinitionByName method.I'm using Flash Develop and the Flex SDK, coding with pure AS3.Is there any way to instantiate the Classes only dynamically?Or, any alternative to the getDefinitionByName method?
View 7 RepliesI really like the fact that dynamic features are available in Flash, despite their slowness.With that said, is there any way to "auto detect" when a new property is being added to a dynamic class?I'd like something along these lines:

I am using xml to populate my dynamic text boxes... however when i load the web page and sometimes it takes a little longer the text boxes say Level 10 MC or undefined or something until the dynamic text gets loaded from the xml... What i am wondering is if there is a way to not display any text until the xml text is loaded into the file.
View 2 Replieswhy I am getting undefined every time I trace the following:
Code:
c = currentCount; //current is 1.
trace (eval("mcSlide" + c)._x);
trace (this["mcSlide" + c]._x);
I would think these would output, if I incrementally go through 3 slides, the correct _x for each slide e.g. mcSlide1._x , mcSlide2._x
without having to make my movieclip (from a swc) a global variableThe code works perfectly, but i'm guessing it's redflagging it because it's not a waterproof method.
View 4 RepliesI'm making a program so that you can plug in your birth year and get some basic information on what Chinese year you were born in (Year of the Dragon etc).I created a class, linked it to an MC and looks like it is creating everything okay but the input text is definitely buggy.I can input text at the top of the stage but not in the actual text field.I have spent a lot of time on this and am completely clueless as to what is bugging this thing out.I guess I am not declaring something properly but I've had my TA take a look at it as well and she cannot figure it out.

View 1 RepliesFrom what I hear, getting/setting dynamic properties is a lot slower than regular properties.
But does allowing a class to be dynamic slow down the entire class for regular property getting/setting?
For instance, let's say I have this class (pretend those properties have setters as well):
Code:
public dynamic class Hero
{
public function get endurance():int
{ return _endurance; }
[Code].....
Obviously, calling and setting the "magic" property will be a lot slower, but will all properties become slower to get/set just because the entire class is set to dynamic?
Is it better to not set the entire class to dynamic, and instead create a new dynamic object, "additionalStats" where properties can be get/set to instead?
I've been trying out small snippets of code just to practice with and get comfortable with making classes and small games.Right now I am trying to make a simple combat with Orks. Where there is a Parent Class ORK with several ORK children classes like SentryOrk, MetalOrk, etc.
The Ork class basically puts in the many stats used by the ork such as health, strength, vitality, special, luck, etc. And then the children classes modify those like Sentry Ork will have less health and more luck.I did all that fine, but the problem I have is I want there to be multiple Sentry Orks out with their own defined stats.Right now whenever I do initiate the attack one out of three orks on the screen, they all share the same health.I know what the problem is, I just don't know how to go about dynamically making each class their own?Do I have to make a whole other class to bring them onto the stage with their stats like create a new class that handles all ENEMY POP UPS? I don't see how to do that either?:

I've modified the xml photo gallery from the tutorial on this site to include a thumbnail scroller, the previous and next buttons to loop around, and added links to the images so that a pdf will pop up if the image is clicked for the images that have pdfs with the help of this forum.
I'm trying to incorporate a dynamic text box that says "Click on image below to view PDF" only for the images that have a pdf to click on and not for those that don't have a pdf linked. Therefore I've set up XML nodes that say "Click on image below to view PDF" and others that are empty or "undefined" for the ones that don't have a pdf linked.
Right now it's almost there. The key lines in the code below I think:
linkdes_txt.text._visible=false;
} else {
linkdes_txt.text._visible=true;

I have a dynamic text box on my main time line with an instance name (NOT var name) of MCtxt. My textfiles have the variable of txtMC. I have a movie clip with a little ease bar on it. When the user mouses over the movie clip the ease bar goes to the mouse and, once it comes close to stopping, it triggers some AS to capture a number. Then I have a switch statement that does some stuff depending on the number.
So here is the code I have on that movie clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if (_global.stopped == true){
//trace(_global.j);
function textLoad(filename) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
[Code] .....
Tracing j returns the correct number and the _root.date.text works just fine. But the text is not loading and the trace on the success returns an undefined. I have tried moving all of the loading text code inside the case but it doesn't work there either. All variable names are correct (quadruple checked, at least) so it's gotta be something with my code.
I was wondering best practices for views of inherited classes in PureMVC in this situation: Multiple classes inherit a BaseClass (lets say InheritedClass1 and InheritedClass2) Each InheritedClass has a respective view (derived from a base view class, but each unique) With a given dataset (lets say ArrayCollection of InheritedClass1/2 Objects), the respective views need to be dynamically loaded. The dataset is relatively large, so a TileList would be nice (since it only instantiates objects which are currently displayed) I can think of a couple solutions, but I find them to be too "hackish" to be the best solution:
In View: Repeater over a BaseClassView which attributes a view to a State (set to the "InheritedClass1" state to add a InheritedClass1 object) Pros: No unneeded memory increase (States' objects are instantiated when needed) Cons: View is dependent on the data types, so adds coupling In Mediator: Loop over the ArrayCollection and addChild() the views based on data type Pros: Works. Cons: Mediator is adding things to the View, which defeats the point of the separation of Mediator and View. Slower than a Repeater.
The sound I wanted to stop or play are separates into background music and button sound effect. I know you could use SoundMixer.stopAll() to stop all sound, and some how exclude the bg music, IF everything is written in the same class. But what if the sounds are called from others dynamic classes? How could I target them and exclude the bg Music?
