ActionScript 2.0 :: Library Access/attachMovie From Within A Class?
May 4, 2007
I'm currently attempting to build my first classes in AS2 (with high hopes to soon move to AS3..baby steps). I have run into a problem that has cost me the last few hours of the night tonight and I still feel like I'm no closer to the solution >_<
The scenario: I am attempting to create a couple classes that work together to handle the creation of textFields and the methods by which to scroll them (if needed). One class method creates the TextField, populates it, then calls the next class that attaches and sets up the scrolling components/methods if needed.
The problem: I cant access items in my library from my class no matter which way I slice it. I need to attach movieClips from the library to act as my scroll components and am currently attempting to do so by passing the linkageIDs through the constructor. Tracing the items passed through works fine, but attempting to use attachMovie with them (or with the ID's as literal Strings) fails silently; nothing gets attached.

Is there a way to extend the movieclip class without using a library item and attachMovie?

Got two classes "Engine.as" and "Player.as". Engine.as is the document class that is calling Player.as.
The point is to have Player.as create a movieclip on the stage, but it seems it cannot access the library or something. Because when the player class is at the createHero() method it gives me the "error 1009 cannot access a property or method of a null object reference"
Engine class:
Code:
package test{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

have an external class which controls about 400 buttons. But I want this class to also be able to show a Popup window. But this would mean I would need to access the Library.Within this library would be a MovieClip exported for Actionscript with the name PopUP.WITHIN the fla it's easy:PHP Code:va popUpWindow:PopUP = new PopUP();addChild(popUpWindow);

I'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?

I can't make Flash do a gosh darn thing 'flashy', no matter how many tutorials I read, and how many demo's I see, it never seems to do what would make sense. This worked fine until I tried to plop the dynamic text box into its own movie object in the library... I've opened flash, drawn a simple dynamic text box. Set the dynamic text box's data variable to szTextBoxData (why don't text boxes just have a value property? anyways..).
Then selecting it, I convert it to a symbol (as a movie) call it DynamicTextMovie, and stuff it away into the library. Now I delete it from the layer, as I want to add it dynamically at run time. Next, on frame one of the main movie, I insert this code. (sorry for the bad formatting, limit of the forum here..)

I am trying to access a text object inside an MC inside a variable (with a corresponding Symbol name) after dynamically attaching an MC. the code that sets the "dockTemplate" variable is below. I'm trying to write to the "item" property called "label" on a rollover function called "dockRolls".
var dockTemplate = {
layout: 0
icon_size: 80,
icon_min: 50,
[Code].....
externally, there is another AS file that extends the MovieClip class which is setting up the functions, etc. in 'var dockTemplate'. that seems to be working fine. my question is:
HOW do I write to/access the text object 'orderEntry_txt' inside 'dockTemplate'?

I created an flv video player using Flash Builder 4. This "BasicVideoPlayer" project is compiled into a SWC that will be eventually be used to create other video players that extend the functionality. One of the features is a view that appears when the video has finished playing that displays a "Play Again" button. This "Play Again" view has its own class, "BasicPlayAgain", that accepts a graphic asset that is exported from a .fla file that contains all of the graphic/UI assets.
In my new project, "EnhancedVideoPlayer", I'm using the BasicVideoPlayer SWC as a library to create a new video player that will add more functionality to the "Play Again" view; specifically it will add more buttons to that view.The EnhancedVideoPlayer uses a default class that extends the BasicVideoPlayer class. The BasicVideoPlayer class has a member called "playAgainScreen" whose type is BasicPlayAgain. The EnhancedVideoPlayer needs to override the playAgain member and recast it as EnhancedPlayAgain so it can control the new buttons properly.

I'm trying to load a RSL library into a flash animation developed with Flash CS5 IDE, that extends a custom class and implements an interface. I have reduced the problem to the simplest setup and find that I can have my main class extend another class or implement an interface, but not do both at the same time if I want to load an RSL.I have a very simple class to extend:
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MySprite extends Sprite
{[ code]...........
but if I want both I get the VerifyError: Error #1014 with MySprite not found and ReferenceError: Error #1065.

The use of library classes confuses me once again. I have the following situation:

I cannot put in any baseclass when using the class, so I'm forced to remove the baseclass. When using only the class I get a whole bunch of errors don't make any sense at all, and still appear even if I comment out all the code in the Page class. comop_padpagesFavorietenPage.as:7: 1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition com.op_pad.pages:Page.help in namespace public.

Library symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.

I was working on a file where I imported a few sounds to the library but now lost the actual sound files, but I have the sound in my library (in the fla). How can I use them through AS3? Currently I do something like: Quote:
var music:Sound=new Sound(newURLRequest("outbreak.mp3"));
var sc:SoundChannel = music.play();
how can I access the sounds in the library?

Does flash store the items in the library in an array? I would guess yes. For example if i have an array named pics in my fla file can i write something like:
for(var counter:int = 0;counter < library.array.length;counter++){
pics.push(library.items[counter];
}

I'm having some doubts about how to access some features of embedded files and loaded.
For example, I created a .fla and added a symbol to your library - a MovieClip with name and class circle. Then convert the .fla to .swf, thus becoming test.swf.[code]...

If I have three classes:
public class Example {
public function Example () {
}[code]............
You can see that the two last classes extend the first one, and both have the 'variable' property. In case that I have an instance of Example and I am sure it is also an ExtendedExample OR AnotherExtendedExample instance, is there some way to access the 'variable' property? Something like
function functionThatReceivesAnExtendedExample (ex:Example):void {
if(some condition that I may need) {
ex.func()

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 have the following inheritance structure:
var environment:AvEnvironment = new AvEnvironment(...);
addChild(environment);
environment.addChild(new Terrain());
environment.addChild(new Player());
I am trying to access a public property from AvEniroments class through the Player class, however I'm getting an undefined property error (#119). I've tried the following:
this.x = AvEnvironment.xs // public property in this class
this.x = parent.xs
I've also tried something like this:
var ev:AvEnvironment = AvEnvironment(parent);
this.x = ev.xs
but I get a TypeError. Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'd like to put a given cursor design in the library, then make a call to it using the custom cursor script I'm working on (detailed in the other thread). This is more professional and attractive than keeping some thing on the stage.
