ActionScript 2.0 :: Instantiated Class Does Not Revert To Its Defaults?
Oct 13, 2007
I'm very confused. When I instantiate a class, I'm assuming that the object is reset to its default variable values. Not so. Consider this:
Code:
class ClassTest extends MovieClip{
var arr:Array = new Array();
function ClassTest(){
[Code].....
...even if the two objects have different instance names! It's as if it is making my arr variable static by default, and not resetting it to a new array in the second instance. How do I get around this? Do I need to somehow have this code instantiate itself with something like "this = new ClassTest();"

I have question regarding removing instantiated objects. Let's say i have a main class in which i instantiate a custom video player (or whatever) class:
Code:
...
var videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer(...);
addChild(videoPlayer);
...
And inside VideoPlayer class i have of course dozens of objects (movie clips, sprites representing different parts of VideoPlayer) and dozens of event listeners attached to them. My question is, if i want to remove this VideoPlayer class from my main class is it enough to just do:

I have a initApp.as which instantiates a class which needs to access the "currentState" property and the States array as well. However we cannot get this to work as we cannot see how we can access this information.
Within initApp.as currentState is accessed via "this.currentState". This does not work in the class which is instatiated within initApp.as. The following error is thrown:
"Access of undefined property currentState."

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with if there is a big difference in performance in ActionScript 3 between keeping a class with only public static functions, and utilizing those functions often (as in a frame event at 30fps), and in turning the class into a "normal" class of which I instead make an instance and call the functions via the instance instead.

I am making my way with AS3 in little steps and have hit a road block. This is what I have:
I have a document class called "Document Class" I have a custom class called "Game"
I have instantiated an object of "Game" class and I am able to trace a class method which return a simple "HELLO". within my Game class, I have a variable(type Array) called "questions" as instance variable.
I would like to add questions to "questions" array by using "Mutator" method, or count the current elements with the questions array and return the total number of questions. I am unable to add or access elements to the questions array.

I usually use if(object!=null) but it doesn't work well.
How can I verify if the class is instantiated. I want to get rid of the 'cannot access a property of a null object or reference'.
I mean, the 'var object:Object;' is just a reference to an Object class instance. When i initialize it with 'object = new Object()' it runs the code in the constructor, initializing it. How can I check if it has been initialized or not.

I've been struggling with this for almost a day now and I can't seem to find the problem. I'm making an instantiated FLV playback class in actionscript 2, but it just doesn't play the video
Here's the code, if I uncomment the camera parts and attach _cam instead of _stream it will show the camera feed, it just won't play my movie (and I get no errors whatsoever).

I have this class called Main. And inside this Main class I have a method that I'd like to call from a the main timeline.
So on the main timeline I have instatiate the Main class like this:
var mainClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName("Main") as Class;
var main:Sprite = new mainClass(this, mc1_mc, mc2_mc);
addChild(main);
Then on the frame after that, I try to access a function inside that Class like this:
main.prepareGame();
But I get this error:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 3, Line 61061: Call to a possibly undefined method prepareGame through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite.

h1. I have a Class (let's call it "Button") that is linked to a library item (a movieclip) which I have on the stage
2. Now this Button class, when clicked will produce an alert in the form of another class (let's call it "Alert").
3. There are two critical things in the way I want this to work:
A) I want Alert to be a child of the main stage, not the Button class
B) I want Alert to take care of adding itself to the display list, not have Button add it.
So in a nutshell, I want to call Alert like this:new Alert("Hello, Kirupa Forums!");
The Alert class needs to draw the shape (check), add the text (check), add itself to the display list (how? if I try to access "stage" I get a null reference, though I don't know why), and destroy itself (I'll burn that bridge when I get to it).

What I'd like to do is add an event listener to a class instantiated by my document class that listens for different key presses. So far I can't use stage.addeventListener or I get the null object error so my question is:
a: how do i add an event listener to the stage from another class and b: is it even necessary to add it to the stage , can I listen from that class?

I have a class called shapeC that only creates a rectangle and then addChild(rectangle);. That class is instantiated on the main timeline. Currently, the only way you can see that rectangle is to add the instantiated class to the stage via addChild(shapeC);. My question is, is there a way that the shapeC class can add the rectangle to the root stage without requireing the instantiated class to be added to the stage?

I have an XML file which has info about projects for my portfolio, there are 7 of them at the moment. I'm trying to have a preloader animation show up in place of every portfolio image before it's shown on stage. The problem is that there are 14 of those preloaders being instantiated rather than 7!! How could that be possible? Check out my code:

I have a mc in my library called SimpleButton and in the class path for that mc I have the path to my class: com.company.ui.buttons.SimpleButton.
But when I try to instantiate the symbol using the following code, it does not appear on the stage.
Code:
var simpleButton = new SimpleButton();
addChild(simpleButton);
The code works fine when the mc class path is just SimpleButton, the symbol is added to the stage. However when I try to use my own class, the base class disappears from the linkage box in the mc properties dialog and the symbol does not appear on the stage.
Here is my SimpleButton class:
Code:
package com.company.ui.buttons
{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;

In my document class I have this

It does not matter where I declare the var __w:Who in the constructor, as a class var or in another function entirely. The whole thing still operates normally but it's irritating not being able to set my stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; in the constructor.... I am guessing it is something in my Who class because it does not happen if I declare any other vars the constructor in Who pretty basic:

I know that if you only input the first n variables, the rest will be reverted to default, but what if you only want to give the n'th variable? How can you do that? For example with the dropShadowFilter, it would be nice to be able to just define the strength and omit the other ones by using the default, since there are so many input variables to be given.

why when I load a movie clip instance from the library using addChild, it defaults to 50% scale when I test the clip? All I am using at this point is this code:
var costume1_mc:Costume1 = new Costume1();
addChild(costume1_mc);
It loads fine, at 0,0 coordinates, but it scales to 50% of its original size.

I put a motion preset (zoom in 3D) on a movie symbol instance. It worked great--it zoomed in well, and the instance stayed at the center of the stage for the whole animation, which is what I wanted.
I realized that I needed to change the stage size, for reasons I won't go into.I converted the stage measurement from pixels to inches, and resized it.Of course, all my graphics and instances were now off-center. In realigning and resizing everything, I discovered that my instance with the motion preset was no longer staying centered on the stage. It now travels in a right diagonal down to the bottom right corner of the stage when played. In fact, now anytime I use that particular preset on anything, in this file and in new ones, the same thing happens. It's like the preset has changed permanently on my computer and won't go back to the default.
I've tried editing the path frame by frame, but that makes a mess. I've tried using the subselection tool to edit the path, but that's imprecise and not working well.As an aside, I loaded this particular file onto another laptop here at work that has Flash Pro too. Before I opened my file on this new computer, that motion preset worked fine. Now that I've opened this file in the new computer, that preset is messed up, even when I start a new file.

I have an EXE flash project that has a menu with several videos in a little player. The player has a fullscreen button that makes the video go fullscreen. When the video is over, the widescreen video is frozen on the last frame and stays there. I need the player to automatically leave widescreen mode at the end of the video and go back to the regular menu player.
I'm using AS3 to call up the videos from the menu clicks, so I'm not scared to get into code using actionscript. I just don't know what to do.

I wanted to instantiate a class that would render a sprite, but it doesn't seem to want to add the graphics to my stage.
Here's the main class, it creates an instance of 'Canvas' which would basically be a gray square rectangle that fills the stage width/height.
Code:
package
{
import com.webkitstudio.Canvas;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code].....
I had more success rendering the gray box if i make a method in the Canvas class that renders it, but is it possible to do it from the constructor, is that even advisable? I'm somewhat an OOP noob, i don't completely understand where everything should go.

I'm facing problem regarding dynamic texts. My dynamic text is placed on the stage and instantiated. I'm setting the text value in AS by using textname.text = smthing... Initially it was showing the correct result on testing the movie clip.. But after few runs it started showing garbage values... When i traced the value, trace showed the correct result but not displayed properly on the dynamic text..I then deleted and recreated the texts.. After some trials od deleting and reinserting it started working fine.. But soon the problem creeped in.
