i have created a class that so far works great. what i need to do is get that class to accept a function as one of its parameters. so for example:
[Code]...
and when the class is finshed to use the passed function name to call a internal function in the flash movie I don't even know where to begin or what its called to even do a search on it.
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
Let's say I have a Widget class that extends MovieClip:
[Code]...
How would I call doWidget(i:int) from the specific widgetRay[] instance clicked, using onClick from the main?
I want to call a function from another function's parameter but I don't know how and don't know if it is possible.I've considered this as a solution but it didn't worked.
Code:
function myFunc(target_mc:MovieClip, nX:Number, nY:Number, cFunc:Function) {
target_mc._x += nX;
targen_mc._y += nY;
target_mc.onPress = cFunc;

have a node that has an asfunction embedded - won't work. if I change the a href to a web page- it works fine. If I try to call a custom function it doesn't call it at all.

[Code]...
The fact is that the "dispatchEvent" method must be placed into the code or timeline where the "event" happens, then it can be trigged and the function associated with the event will be invoked. Ok, it is understood. Nevertheless, my question is: what's the point to create an event to trigger the a function call, if I can simply call the function instead directly???
Code:
package{
import flash.events.Event;
public class CustomEvent extends Event{
public static const ONSOMETHING:String = "onSomething";
public function CustomEvent(type:String){
super(type);
[Code] .....
If I can do simply:
Code:
DoIt();
function DoIt(){
trace ("Done!");
}
What I mean is that custom events doesn't look like as REAL events for me, but more like a delegate way to call a function. Differently from Flash native events that are controlled by an internal engine that keep checking if the event happened, in the custom events they must triggered 'manually', and it seems to lose the event main characteristic.
I have this custom right-click menu. I need to call the reactOnClick() function with a specific parameter when clicking a specific right-menu item. I want to avoid multiplying the function for each right-click item.
Code: Select all//set up the custom right-click menu
rcnMenu = new ContextMenu();
//the value below is here just for testing purposes,
//the actual value could be anywhere between 3 and 13
var numberOfItemsTakenFromXml:Number = 5;

I keep getting an "undefined property" error when I try to call an external function from within the Doc class. I added the error message to the Doc Class below so you can see where it occurs.
If I take the code from the Tooltip.as below and place it on the FLA's main timeline I can get things working fine, but I would like to move all script to classes. The document class structure looks like this:
Drag_and_Drop.as
Code:
package {
import Tooltip;// Import custom class
public class Drag_and_Drop extends MovieClip {
[Code]....
I realize that I could just combine all the code in the Doc class to get it working, but it would be nice to separate out this particular code which has only one use.
How can I run function of the main document class from a class of a MovieClip? I usually just used MovieClip(parent).function(), but now my MovieClip has another parent. Or what do I have to pass to the MovieClip class when creating the MovieClip to acess the main document class?

I have a Document class that instantiates a class named Other. I need to call a function in the Other class from the Document class.I'm getting this error: Call to a possibly undefined method OtherFunction through a reference with static type Other.I have read online that you need to use make the functions static or use a getter function but I'm unclear how to do that. I haven't been able to make it work and I feel like i'm missing something fundemental with this problem.below are simplified versions of the classes.

How do you call a function from another class in AS3? Functions referring properties/methods from instances created in that class. For example I have a class that creates a textfield and a scrollbar and another that load some images in a Scroll Pane component. I do it in that way because in some menus appears only text and in others text & images
What I need is with the scrollbar, scroll both text and images
I have this piece of code that has a problem.

This is what I can do..Write a Menu Class to build a panel of buttons.Add the event listener to the object in the Class.Instantiate the Class in the main document.
What I cant do or understand is how to respond to the events from the Menu Class in the Main document, say by calling a function that exists in the Main document.
I get around this by instantiating the menu Class and then assigning the listener to it in the Main document.
I have a mainIndex.as menu.as (extends movieclip-instantiated in mainIndex)
When a button is clicked in "menu" class I want passing the name of the menu item to a mainIndex so the swf with that name can be loaded.
I'm just beginning to learn AS3. Here's what I intend to do. Create a base movie. Load a footer into the basemovie. When a button is clicked in the footer, I want to call a function in the base movie to load a page on the top.
Please refer to the attachment. Basemovie is the main class, that loads the footer swf. In footer.as, I want to be able to call basemovie.fLoadContent() from the function fClickNext().
I have an external swf(s) loaded in a main swf container. I am trying to create templates for non-coders. The main swf loads "pages" based on the currentFrame number. i.e. if on frame 12 load "m1_012.swf"I need the function call to the main swf to be dynamic.The variable function call doesn't work in the following code. The last function call does work. How can I "eval" the variable function call?
var parentObj:Object = this.parent.parent.parent;
var tempFrame:Number = parentObj.currentFrame;
var funcName:String = parentObj+"moreInfo_"+tempFrame;

i'm trying to call a flash function from dynamically loaded html text.i remember seeing how to do it on a forum a while back. but i don't remember where. i think you called it kind of like an href tag but it was a little different.to clarify: i'm loading in some dynamic text into flash, i want to make a button on some of that text that will call a custom flash function.............no buttons.

I have a main.swf that loads in an external swf called home.swf. I want to be able to call a function in main.swf's doc class from the loaded swf:
Code:
function loadArtist():void { // my function }
in the main timeline of home.swf I'm calling it this way:
Code:
function timeToGo(m:MouseEvent):void {
trace("button pressed");
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).loadArtist(); }
the home.swf compiles fine but when loaded in the main.swf & the button is pressed i get this error:
TypeError: Error #1006: loadArtist is not a function.
at home_fla::MainTimeline/timeToGo()
It seems that it thinks loadArtist is a property. Ack. I've got 3 objects loaded dynamically using addChildAt(mc, 0) ...
