Actionscript 3 :: Cant Reference Array Class?
Feb 3, 2011I have a class consisting of a nested array called twoDArray.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Movieclip Instance On Stage From External Class File?
Nov 21, 2010I've been searching around all afternoon, and am pulling my hair out. 1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)
Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
[Code]...
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1. I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable? Is there a really easy way to do this with some syntax/command that I have not learned yet?

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?
Actionscript 3 :: Flash CS5 Reference A Display Object From A Class Other Than The Document Class
Jul 28, 2011Using Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)

Flex :: Difference Between Class Reference And Class Instance?
Jun 28, 2010Given that both of these calls to getQualifiedClassName return the same thing (mx:Label), how would one go about programatically differentiating between an instance of a class and a reference to the class...
var lab1:Label=new Label();
var lab2:Class=Label;
var qcn1:String=getQualifiedClassName(lab1);
var qcn2:String=getQualifiedClassName(lab2);
In other words, how could I know that lab1 is of type Label, while lab2 is type "Class". typeof() simply returns "object" for both... getQualifiedClassName returns "mx.controls::Label" for both...
Flash :: Use A New MovieClip As A Class Or To Copy It Without Reference To Its Class?
Jul 21, 2011I am doing a looping background with 2 identical BG movieClip (B1 and B2). Those 2 are "new" by the same class.
var B1:MovieClip = new BG();
var B2:MovieClip = new BG();
But because this BG class picture is loader from the internet and the picture is rather big. When I addressed its loading by using progressEvent. The picture is really loaded 2 times. Is there anyway I create B2 based on B1 without using new BG() again? Since it definitely makes a new BG with Loader code inside.

Actionscript 3 :: Httpresponse - File Reference Response Data After Uploading A File
Aug 29, 2011I have written a ac3 script to upload files to remote servers and it is working as expected with all the events.
From the server side script i am echoing some text according to the upload status and i want that status to be received in flash like response text in ajax.
Is it possible to receive response text from a server script after uploading a file.
Or it doesn't have to be a file upload yet i wanted to have the string echoed in the server side script as response text in flash.
If that is not possible like ajax or normal request and response then is there another ways of achieving that?
Here is the code which gets executed when upload is complete.
fr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event): void
{
lblPer.text = 'Completed';

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array Overwriting - Reference/value?
Nov 14, 2008I've created two custom classes to contain data for a web forum controller flash tool:
class postClass
{
public var post_id:Number;
//plus some other variables like timestamp etc
[code]....
When I try to assign a new post to a user (by adding the post data to the postArray variable) I overwrite posts that I had already placed under other users. More specifically, if I'm posting the first post for User Y, I overwrite the first post for User X with the exact same data.I thought this was a reference vs. value passing error, but I tried to eliminate this by not copying the "postClass" objects, but assigning the data directly into the user's postArray array:
var userArray:Array = new Array();
function addNewUser(masterPostIndex,UserNumber)
{
[code]....
This all seems to work fine until I try to write a new post for a second or third user. If I trace the contents of User X's posts, they immediately become identical to the content of User Y's posts, as soon as User Y's posts are added. Later, when User Z comes along, both User X and User Y's posts are overwritten. This code is kinda long, so I didn't want to post the whole thing - but I can post any parts you're interested in, of course.
This really 'feels' like a reference-passing error (arrays are all looking at the same location in memory), but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - I'm not making a postClass object and then pushing it onto the user's postArray (I tried that too, same result).
var newPost:postClass = new postClass();
//read and assign values to newPost
userArray[userIndex].push(newPost); //
this is clearly passing the referenceI can see how the latter example would pass the reference to newPost to the user object, then when I change newPost in the next iteration (when user Y posts something), User X's data will change too. I tried to avoid this with the first set of code.
