ActionScript 2.0 :: Cannot Add Custom Methods N Properties To Every Class
Nov 7, 2004
In AS2 we can not add methods n properties to built-in classes in the way we do in AS1. Like we would -say- write the custom "isNatural" method on the "Math" class as follows : * The following code is valid in AS1 but not in AS2
[Code]...
As the "Math class" is static internally. We know why we can not add custom methods n properties to every class, as the way we do in AS1. Later I came up with senocular' s very nice tutorial on OOP in AS2. And now i know how we can do it in AS2 style in an efficient n organised way. But i have a problem with the following code. It should not work ! but it does... * Following code is valid for both in AS1 and AS2.

I have an urgent task to implement in my project code. I can't able to access the new properties and methods which are present in FileReference Class. For load() ,save() methods needs runtime version of Flash Player 10. I need to include the flash player 10 in CS3 publish settings Version. Otherwise you can suggest how i can able to access the FileReference class new properties and methods without CS4.

Let's say I have a defined ClassA. ClassB extends ClassA and there's a Movie Clip instance on the stage linked to ClassB. How would ClassC access the properties and methods of ClassB without extending ClassB or creating a new instance of ClassB? The way I'm currently doing it is by referencing the stage instance linked to ClassB and then using the dot syntax to access ClassB instance variables, and this works only if the the accessed variables are public or internal, depending on what package ClassC is part of. I would like to know if there's a better, cleaner way to accomplish this.

I currently have my own class, for arguments sake, lets say it's called User and is for logging into my own system.
I would like to call a function from the user class called, say, login(), which would send the username and password attributes to a service (in my case, PHP), and then get the data back with the response (either successful or unsuccessful).
This would ideally make my code behave like this:
Code:
var user1:User = new User("Jim", "password");
var loggedIn:Boolean = user1.login();
[Code]....
I don't know of a way of getting the login function to return a boolean based on the result of the HTTPservice it sends, so does anyone know of a better way of doing this?

I want to add a custom method so that any MC can use it like this - Code:text1.fadeIn(2) - which would fade text1 in over 2 seconds. The actual method isn't important, it's the way to add it as a custom method for ALL MCs that is confusing me.I can add it inside the document class (that extends MovieClip) like{/*fade in over tt seconds etc*/};But pretty much everywhere I look peoples are choking on their coffee shouting not to use that method. So is there a nice, clean way to do it without using prototype?BTW I want to add these methods in a class that is imported into the main document class at compile-time. So my main doc class has code specific to this SWF but the general external classes like Effects and Transitions are imported as needed.

I've got a custom class (using AS2) that mostly does things like set the score and level of a game, as well as sets the player's lives on the screen. I need to unload and attach MovieClips within the Lives control function, which require those methods from the MovieClip class. I don't think I need to extend this class from the MovieClip class, I think I need to import the class somehow. I don't know the path though..something like mx.MovieClip.

I can't use a "for in " loop to enumerate public properties of a custom class. So I have a class "ClassA" , which has some public properties. if I try :
PHP Code:
trace(classInstace.hasOwnProperty('property1'));// true
trace(classInstace.property1) // traces the property correctly
trace(classInstance.propertyIsEnumerable('property1')); // traces false ????

So I have a movie clip associated with an external class in the linkage dialog. I put that movie clip on the stage. I have another external class that contains some code (not for the movie clip but for the stage). When I access the custom properties of the class in the actual flash file (not the external code) everything works fine.For example.myMovieClip.explodeTheCode = true;works in the main movie. However, it doesn't work in the external flash file when I have a reference to that movie clip.myRefToCustomMovieclip.explodeTheCode = true fails!It throws an error. In java, I'd just import the custom class the movie clip is linked to and then I can call all the extra custom methods on the movie clip in the external class I want. However, this does nothing. I still can't access any properties.So my question is, how do I access the custom features of a movie clip (that is linked to a custom class) from an external code file. It works in the movie, but not in the external source code.

I seem to be having a bit of a problem here. I'm generating a load of class instances using the following code:
maxpersons=25;
for (var i:Number=1;i<=maxpersons;i++)
{
var person:Person = new Person;
[Code].....
OK. I then need to run through each of them and check for a collision with an object from the main stage (called redDot), which I pass to a method (called doDamage) within the class. I'm using the following code:
for (i=1;i<=maxpersons;i++)
{
if (game.getChildByName("person"+i).hitTestObject(red Dot))
{
game.getChildByName("person"+i).doDamage(redDot);
}
}
I keep getting an error saying "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method doDamage through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject."!
It just won't work. I've tried altering the code to:
game["person"+i].doDamage(redDot);
but I get an unexpected trace output saying "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."

I can't access the props and methods of an external AS3 swf after it's loaded by Main.as. Here's a very simplified version of the code for Main.as (the calling swf):
Code:

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
public class Main extends Sprite{
private var imgLoaded:Boolean = false;

How would you go about calling the public properties and methods of a SWF you load in actionscript?
I have been using stackoverflow for years to answer my programming questions so I wanted to give back by writing a guide to an issue I had a lot of trouble figuring out. This is my first user guide so tell me if there is anything I can do to improve it.

I have a question about classes. I just learn that static means that functions and/or properties are specifics to a class, but is it a synonym of private? And why statics (not available to any instances?) properties and/or methods can have a public (available anywhere else (timeline)) access modifier? PS: I just start with classes.

I have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?

i have created an object called plane with the bellow methods. I have not defined them anyway on my script file but i am curious to find out why flash does not respond by giving me any errors telling me that the methods i.e pitch to say that they have not been defined? This is something that i would have expected flash to tell me. This results in a successful build and as a result i am able to still run the file. Why does it not notify me of any erross even though clearly they have not been declared anywhere i my script.?
var plane:Object = new Object();
plane.pitch = 0;
plane.roll = 5;
plane.yaw = 5;

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 don't have a problem with code but a big problem figuring out where to find out the properties and methods for "event.target". I'm working on a project where, naturally, events are essential. I've noticed, while reading some Actionscript code, that people use code such as:
Code:
event.target.name
event.target.loader
Very useful and interesting but the problem is where can I find out the properties and methods for "event.target"? I'm using Flash Builder 4 and I get the instance's properties and methods when I press the dot (code hinting). However, I don't get e.g. any "name" property after "target". It would be very useful for me to know where to look...

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);
