I've been coding a bunch of movie clips as buttons (gives me more flexibility) and the lines of code is phenomenal... was wondering if i could create a template of functions, and instantiate it for each object?
ActionScript Code:
unimatic.onRollOver = function() {
unimatic.gotoAndPlay(2);
[code].......
Performance wise, is it better to instantiate inside or outside the constructor?
Code:
public class example {
private var _mc:MovieClip = new Movieclip();
[code]......
Is it possible to have a string "ClassA" and use it in order to instantiate a real ClassA in my application?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a Button class in Actionscript that contains a URL variable. The URL for both buttons is changing to the URL parameter of its latest instantiation. So in this case, both buttons trace This is my Button class:

private static var URL_str:String;

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.
View 1 RepliesI realize this is kind of an odd issue, but I am wondering if there's any way to get Flash to allow me to access a class's static functions using a class variable that points to the class. Example:I create a class called FooClass that has a static function named fooI then create a variable of type Class that points to it
Code:
var class:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("FooClass"));
However, when I try to call foo() using the variable, it errors saying the function

I would like to create a class that simply houses all my custom functions that I commonly use. These are functions, not methods tied to a specific object. Is this possible?
View 6 RepliesIn a custom queue, there's a push() and a pop() function. The pop() may be called any time on an Event.COMPLETE, so does this mean that code can be running in push() and pop() simultaneously? If so, is there a way to prevent the code from being run in both functions at the same time?
View 3 RepliesI have a web application created using Flash Pro and I want to use external ActionScript files to support it. I have a package with multiple classes. I want to be able to create utility functions to do things across classes. How do I make these functions accessible to any of the classes? I know I can create a class with these functions and then instantiate the class with a dummy variable to be able to access the methods but is there a better way?

View 1 RepliesI was wondering if they found a better way of allowing the use of variables outside of an on function. For example in the script below I can use the variable bounds inside the target.onEnterFrame function because it's declared inside the constructor. However I can't use m_Bounds even though it's declared in the class.[code]...

I have a Main.fla which loads Main.as as its document class. In Main.as I have a public function named "Main" which runs a trace. I also have another .as file called Preloader.as, which also has a public function in it, this one named "Preloader" with simple trace in it. I just cannot figure out how to use Preloader() from the Preloader class in Main() from the Main class. Main.as loads up fine when the SWF loads and traces.

And I want to incorporate some common Mathematical functions in them all to make them faster e.g.(replacing Math classes with some speedy bitwise versions).
What is the best way to incorporate these functions into all of them without writing the functions in the classes or extending from class of the functions. Is importing the class into each the fastest way or is their a better way?
I've made two custom classes ("banana" and "box"). As I start my application I create two new objects from these classes - first I create a banana object and then a box object. The banana class/object has a property/variable ("weight") that I set with information from an external XML file, thus it takes a while for it to receive a value.
My problem is that my box object needs to access the "weight" property of the banana project, just after the box object has been created. The problem is that the banana object hasn't finished initialising when I make the request from the box object...
Is there a way of either check the status of another class (initialisation status that is), or is there another way of preventing the box object to either be created before the banana object is initialised?
i want to be able to call the function keyDowns() from my main file on ENTER_FRAME. However, i can't seem to get the syntax/definitions right. here's the function within class Hero:

View 11 RepliesShort description of my project:I'm making a "flash-car-damage-registration-program" where a user can click on a part of a car, make two choices (from two comboboxes) that describes the damage, and then save it in a datagrid withing flash.I have split up the code in different class files:I have a damage.as class file that describes the damage and its properties.I have a carPart.as class file that extends the Movieclip class. This sets all the propertiesof each carpart and where the roll-over/out eventlisteners are, pluss som escriptive text to each carpart. This works the way I want it to. This is just to quickly give you an idea of what I'm working on.So to the real question or problem: I have a LoadMyXmlData.as class file where I load some xml data, this works fine. A function in this class takes a combobox and a xmllist as parameters.
I want to populate the mentioned comboboxes from the xml data. Both comboboxes are on the stage within another movieclip, but I can seem to access them. (yes, they have instancenames etc) I get error 1120: 'Access of undefined property'. I have tried ways like: containingMc.comboboxMc' and so forth but no luck. I have been searching the web for days for a solution to my problem, but nothing so far.
