i am trying to make a custom class that has a small number of variables but I can't seem to get the array part to work.[code]I can't seem to get it to work. I can set and access the other variables OK its just the array thats giving me problems.
View 2 Replies[code]Well, how do I edit ONLY the number in myArray[2,1]?Like, I thought it would be something like myArray[2,1]=2419, but weird stuff happens then and I think it overwrites my old myArray

View 7 RepliesI have an array of a custom class. The class includes 3 movieclips that all share the same position. I have 5 items in the array, and in the document constructor I fill them as such:
ActionScript Code:
glassArray[0] = new glasses(spot, beam1, glasses2, "index/nav/aboutus", new Point(156, 400));(different string and point for each of the 5 items)
Here's the glasses constructor:
ActionScript Code:
public class glasses extends MovieClip{ //I am the Constructor.
public var spot:MovieClip;
public var beam:MovieClip;
public var glass:MovieClip;
protected var target:String;
[Code] .....
It then goes on to fill each of those mclips with properties based on the point received. How to addchild from the class, I've got a simple for loop in the document constructor that adds them all in. Everything works, except what I'm seeing is that as each item in the array is added in, it overwrites the previous items' properties. In effect, I can create 5 items and give them each a different position, but when I go to addChild I see that all of them have taken on the position of the 5th one.!
If I set my variables as type MovieClip instead of the type of the class for the MovieClip I am calling them as, will this affect my presentation in any way? Say I have a movieClip Walls with a class definition Walls. Will
var newwall:MovieClip = new Walls(); or
var newwall = new Walls();
be any different than
var newwall:Walls = new Walls();
I have a custom class that animates a set of movie clips. Something like coverFlow or Carosell. What I want to do is pass a array of all the movie clips to be used by the class. I am not sure an array is the best solution but it makes sense to me. The class will not always know how many movieclips are being passed so with an array I can get the lenght and deal with it. here is the instaciation code of my class mBack and mFront are movie clips on the stage.[code]I get this error Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@113d2061 to Array.it kinda of makes sense why I got the error but if this is not correct how do I pass a list of mc's to my class.

How do I get an array to return correctly? Doing trace(VI1.getData()[0]) doesn't work either.
how can I push an object from my document class array to an array in my custom class?I have an instance of my custom class in my document class called "Pool".The array in my custom class is called "STOREDBALLS"The array in my document class is called "ballArray"How do I get the object from "ballArray" into "STOREDBALLS"I tried using "Pool.STOREDBALLS.push(ballArray[0])" but it didn't work.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to do Array.sortOn on an array of custom-class objects. It's not working, though nothing in the documentation suggests that this is a problem. Below is the code. I'm confident the MetricRecord constructor is working fine because everything else works, and the traces below are correct, except they don't sort.
// This array sorts
metricRecords = new Array();
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"cca", temp:"asxcvbxcber"});
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"aaa", temp:"asdfertr"});

In class Main I am instantiating a custom class NavLabel that creates a textField. With in NavLabel I dispatch a custom event CustomEventWithParams on a reference to class Main that passes the parameter theLabelWidth along with it. from with in class Main i can trace the theLabelWidth for each of the instantiated NavLabel objects. I want to hold those values in an array labelWidthArray and then use them to position the NavLabel objects. how can I do this?

i am making a few object of action script..,what special about this object is that in the contructor function of this object is that i make it to send a sprite parameter which will act as it's parent..,var anObject:myObject = new myObject(parentSprite);and in my main project i used those object and store it in an array after adding it to the stage.i do store it to an array cause i need to be able to refer back to it..everything was fine up until i need to call function inside that object which i already stored in an array. how should i call the function in that object from an array that stored the object?
View 4 RepliesI downloaded this free flash website template for building my website, all the actionscript in the template in AS3, i tried using xml flash - photogallery (for which i found the tutorial on this website.) in my website, but while publishing the site, it gives error, i guess it might be compatibility issue as the script that i found on the website might be in AS2 and that might be clashing with AS3 script of the template. Coz when i change the publish setting to AS2, the AS3 part of the script does not work. Individually both script in their respective separate files work but when combined together the site goes bonkers. as i want the photogallery part exactly as it is shown on this site which is with the thumbnail preview.
View 1 RepliesI have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...
I am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

I have a custom class being constructed from my main class. In the custom class it has another custom class that is passed in as a parameter. I would like to strictly type the parameter variable but when I do, 'the type is not a compile type constant etc'.This, I understand, is because the custom class used as a parameter has not yet been constructed.It all works when I use the variable type ( * ) to type the parameter.I suspect this is a design flaw, in that I am using an incorrect design pattern.It is actually hand-me-down code, having received a large project from someone else who is not entirely familiar with oop concepts and design patterns.
I have considered using a dummy constructor for the parametered class in my main class but the passed in class also takes a custom class (itself with a parametered constructor). I am considering using ... (rest) so that the custom classes' parameters are optional.Is there any other way to control the order of construction of classes? Would the rest variables work?edit)in main.as within the constructor or another function
var parameter1:customclass2;
customclass1(parameter1);

This is my first time working with a class attached to a movieclip that is nested inside a class attached to a movie clip.I've tested all the properties and methods of PTListItem.as and they work properly but when I try to call them on the list item through PTListTop.as it returns undefined.The end goal is to dynamically load a checklist via a txt file.
View 1 RepliesI have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?
View 6 RepliesI have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:
package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..
So to sum it all up:
- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.
- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.
Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.
I am trying to play movie clips from an array. I can do this using randObj[1] but would like to use a variable randObj[i] to play the movie clips. I do not want to use root. I think something is wrong with the syntax i am using because randObj[i] comes back undefined when i trace it. Here is the code i am using
Code:
i=0;
var randObj:Array = new Array("obj1", "obj2", "obj3");

I want to have a custom class tempSelection with a Dictionary as a public accessable property of that class. If I use this code, the compiler tells me:

Which translates to:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Dictionary
i never use compenents, and was recently asked to build one. Ha. Anyway, i have a working class that does all i expect, however, when transforming the class to a component, i am having trouble getting the inspector to actually 'set' the variables. below is a very general idea of what i am doing. All the variables show in the spector, but only the default values are working at runtime.

I'm using a custom drag for easing properties:
ActionScript Code:
var yMouse:Number;
var xMouse:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){
yMouse = _root._ymouse;
[Code]...
As you can see, I'm trying to prevent it from passing _root.block by only allowing the mouse's Y to be followed when it isn't passing _root.block. The only problem is that once it hits _root.block, there's no way to drag it back from _root.block. It gets stuck. Is there a better way to prevent it from passing _root.block but allow it to be pulled back from _root.block

in a flash template i found several buttons with almost the same action script code. on pressing the button a window popup with different text (for each button a unique text). the following code is in the code section of the buttons, only the two last codelines are different for each button.
[Code]...
so i think that the input of the unique text for each button is handled in the last line "_root.READ = 22". i also found in the bibliothek the belonging text parts. my problem now is that i dont know where the connection is set between the text part and the array/variable READ. in this case the connection is 22, but i dont found any property in the text part or in the property of the button where the connection is set to 22. i use flash cs4.
