ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Class Defined In External SWF?

Jul 7, 2008

I have two SWF files loader.swf and external.swf, external.swf is sitting on a remote server and I load it up from loader.swf using MovieClipLoader. external.swf includes a class definition for SomeClass by including a .as file, which also sits on the remote server. External.swf defines a method that returns an instance of SomeClass.

Once I've loaded up external.swf via loader.swf I can call the function that returns an instance of SomeClass. The problem is that laoder.swf seems to require a local copy of the as fiel that defines the class, rather than being able to receive the information it needs from external.swf, I really need to keep this class definition on the remote server, and not have a copy of it locally. Is thre any way I can encapsulate this within external.swf? I'm free to cahnge whatever I like.

ActionScript 3.0 :: 1061 Error (not Defined) When Call A Method Of A Self Defined Class

Feb 9, 2010

I am using flex builder 3.2, Action Script 3 and develop for Flash Player 10 and am quite new to it. when I call a method of a self defined class, I get the 1061 error (not defined). But the class and the method exist and are public, so what the hell am I doing wrong? Flash Builder is even offering me this method in the auto-completion, so at least the builder knows it... I have already tried cleaning the project (as this is the common source of strange errors when working with java/eclipse),

edit: solved... The problem was that a package had the same name as the variable I used for the class. Very strange error message, thumbs down for this .

Professional :: Accessing A Variable Defined In One Class From Another Class

Mar 14, 2011

I've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me.[code]

Flex :: Set The Dimensions Of A Custom Component Defined In A Class?

May 22, 2010

I'm trying to set the height of a vertical bar (activityBar) but it does not appear to do anything. i have tried something similar with the whole component, but setting the dimensions does nothing (even in the mxml used to instantiate the class). Indeed, I've added transparent graphics just to give the component some dimensions

FYI: I'm trying to create a mic activity bar that will respond to the mic by simply setting the height of the activityBar child (which seems to me to be more efficient than redrawing the graphics each time).

package components {
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class MicActivityBar extends UIComponent {
public var activityBar:UIComponent;

ActionScript 3 :: Variable Flash UI - MouseCursor Class Not Defined

Jan 16, 2012

This is quite strange to me since the MouseCursor class is being used as static.
Mouse.cursor = MouseCursor.BUTTON;
This is what I am using the MouseCursor class as and hence it is static. We got this error posted by a customer and the customer has also attached a screenshot of the error.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable flash.ui::MouseCursor is not defined
I first assumed that this could be perhaps because he was running an older version of Flash Player ( older than v10 ). But his screenshot clearly shows that it is running version 10 of the flash player.

ActionScript 3.0 :: NetStatusEvent Error When Main Class Defined

Oct 22, 2009

Ive got a flash file linking to a FMS, its just going to be a little game, all connects fine and I have a chat client working through this. My problem is when i come to use classes to import movieclips ect...

When i set the main Class name in the properties menu and play the swf, NetStatusEvent and SyncEvent are give me the following error...

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant

If i remove the main Class name the swf connects to the server fine, or if i remove the code for the connection to the server and play the swf my movieclip attaches and behaves as the class files intended.

i may be doing a fundamental error here but i really cant see it and its annoying with the 2 aspects running independently but not together.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Reffering To This From Function Defined Inside Class?

Jan 18, 2006

Code:
class className () {
//constructor
function className(targetmc,linkId) {

[code]....

My question is how can I set up an interval when I click on a button that is created from within the class.

I need my function updater to keep repeating untill I clear the interval.The only way I can figure out is to give the full path like this._parent._parent.instanceName.updater inside the setInterval, but although this works I think is just dumb to hardcode the instace name of the class. I could of course try to pass the instance name as a parameter, but I would really love to find out the smart way to do this (by the book).

I have also changed the name of the main class.I have created a new empty .fla to copy and paste all the elements of the library,BUT I DO NOT STILL GET TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Actionscript 3 - FlashBuilder Edit Class Of Symbol Defined In Flash IDE?

Feb 21, 2012

When coding in the Flash IDE, i very often use the following procedure to create specialized versions of MovieClip classes:I design my object in the IDE, for example, i add two buttons and give them the instance names "btn1" and "btn2". Then i select them together and convert them to a symbol. I then select Export for ActionScript and give them a classname, let's say "MyClass".Then I go and write a specialized MyClass.as for it, like this:

public class MyClass extends MovieClip{
private var _button1:Button;
private var _button2:Button;

[code]....

(ps: i know that i wouldn't have to assign the values to the private variables _button1 and _button2 and instead could directly make calls to btn1, but I like to use only Typesafe variables in my code)

This works very well in Flash IDE. when I create a new instance of MyClass() it will contain all the elements that i positioned in the Flash IDE when defining the Symbol. This is very convenient and straight forward.

Now I want to do the same in FlashBuilder.For this i designed the MyClass Symbol as before in Flash IDE, gave it the classname MyClass and then select the library symbol and export it to MyClass.SWC

In Flash Builder i add MyClass.SWC to the buildpath and I write a MyClass.as with the same code as in the Flash IDE example. but this time, the code won't work. on

_button1 = this["btn1"];

i will get an Error #1069 stating that "btn1" was not defined.So - how to do this properly if developing with Flash Builder? PS: i use the default package in Flash IDE when setting the Classname for the symbol as well as in FlashBuilder for the as file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Pass Touch Event To Class Defined 'global' Function

May 12, 2011

I have a class file defined in my package as MyGlobals.as.[code] (I have tried adding/removing "static" and "dynamic" to no effect.)I am trying to call a touch event from the main timeline in this way:myObject.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, MyGlobals.myFunctionName);(I have tried removing the class name to no effect.)When I compile I get the error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TouchEvent. This error occurs on function definitions in the class file.What syntax/concept am I getting wrong? The functions were working fine when I was using constants in the timeline, but I need to be able to reuse these functions over and over again, so I wanted them to be able to take touch event variables so that I didn't have to write a different function for every touch event.I tried googling "error 1046" but I can't find anything useful.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A New Instance Fails When Base Class Is Assigned To An External Class File?

Jul 22, 2009

I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var

instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();

the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so

var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?

However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
