ActionScript 2.0 :: Classes In A Precomplied Swf Being Overwritten When Loaded Into A Swf
Feb 3, 2009
I've a main swf thats loading a sub swf... simple
The sub swf has imported its own .as file to run some code.
The main movie also has its own .as file it has imported to run some code
See where I'm goin... ?
Problem is the .as files are in different folders, named the same name but have different code
When you load the sub swf into the main swf it tries to run the main swf .as file!
Anyone any solutions apart from the obvoius of renaming the files? At this moment this is not an option.
See my attached zip for sample files

I've been tasked with building an AIR for iOS application.Everything is going pretty smooth, there's just one thing I can't seem to get right.I need to make some changes to the application descriptor xml(<key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key><true/> so the application will exit properly i/o suspending)... easy right? Problem is: every time I press 'publish', flash overwrites my xml and packages the ipa file with it's own xml.

I have four movieclips on the stage. They can be dragged around. I have a class that creates a segment from two points, and returns the x-intercept, y-intercept, slope, and inverse slope of a linear function going through the two points.On every enterFrame() i create one segment for each pair of points, then the information is displayed in a bunch of dynamic text boxes.
The Problem: whichever object is sent over last overwrites the data from the first. I am creating two different objects with different names, but the first is being overwritten by the second. What is going wrong here?
FLA included. But you will need to make this class file:
Seg.as:
Code:
import flash.geom.Point;
class Seg {
// variables
private var p1:Point;

Im creating an sqlite db in my air for android app inside the following function:[code]i can successfully create tables, insert and select, but each time i re-publish the app from flash cs5.5 the database is overwritten and all data is lost. Totally stumped, any ideas welcome!i'm publishing a debug release directly from flash pro via usb. When the app is initialised it calls the method above, on receiving the OPEN event it creates a table using the following SQL statement.[code]I can then run some operations, insert, select etc and everything is as expected. If i exit and re-luanch the app, the previous data sets are intact, but when i re-publish from flash any data stored from the previous release has disappeared.According to the documentation SQLConnection.open() will open a connection to the file supplied in the parameters and if it doesn't exist, it will create one...

here is the scenario we ran across while working on our Flash AS3 project today.
/main/root.fla
/main/root.as
/main/sub1/sub.fla
[code]....
We have many sub swf's that are loaded by the main root swf. The root swf shows the art on the stage of the sub swf, and also runs some code from the sub swf's document class. However, we noticed the constructor was not getting called on the second sub swf if the document class is the same name- even if they are in different folders. Note that we publish our swf files to a separate directory (with the same structure as above) so it is easily copied to the web server.
-root.swf loads sub1/sub.swf
-the constructor of the document class sub.as in subfolder sub1 gets called
-root.swf shows sub1/sub.swf assets with the correctly constructed sub1/sub.as document class
-user chooses to switch to sub2
[code]...
We decided to use a workaround where we basically changed the two document class .as files to be different names (e.g. renamed sub1/sub.as -> sub1/sub1.as and sub2/sub.as -> sub2/sub2.as, and updated the .fla's to point to the renamed document classes), and it works as expected. Hopefully that workaround is useful for someone.I realize most people just name every single file differently and keep everything in one folder, but when you have a sufficiently complicated project, things like this come up.

I'm stuck in a project because I don't know how to communicate with other classes in another external swf? After I load the swf using the loader class how would I be able to access the classes loaded by the swf?

The first part is that I am downloading a SWF from a server that has a bunch of exported images in it. I am doing a lookup of the class names for these images then using that to load the data into the application. Later on down the line it is possible to download a separate SWF that has images in the same format with overlapping names.The issue here is that when loading the second SWF with duplicate names it doesn't overwrite the data as one might expect, it uses whatever was loaded first. So I need to know if it's possible to either make it overwrite the classes with the new data or throw them away before loading the new SWF so the old ones don't get in the way. Is this possible at all

In my code I have SWF A and SWF B.
SWF A loads SWF B.
The problem that I have is that both of the SWF's have a class of the same name but that have different member variables.
So from time to time depending on the scenario conflicts occur.
How can I avoid this?
I remember reading before about being able to separate the classes of two different swf but I can't find the article again

I have 2 swfs, one is main and it loads other file "skin.swf". skin contains object of custom class SkinClass. I can access it from main swf, but when I try to cast that object, the result is null. This happens when I use absolute url, when I load skin from relative url, everything is ok.

I make flash games with a standardized UI. There are dozens of different *.fla files of different games, created at different times, and all them should share the same interface. My solution was to put this interface into a Library.swf and make every game load that file first and initialize the required classes. It worked perfectly.Now, the UI and the game had to exchange events. If the "Next" button in the UI is clicked, the game has to know it. The solution was create an InterfaceEvent class. The game calls
Code:
ui.addEventListener(InterfaceEvent.BTN_NEXT_CLICKED, desiredFunction)
and the UI dispatches

We are migrating to AS3 at my job and I have run across a weird bug (???). I use the same basic class structure for most of my projects:Main.as - document class. handles preloader and sometimes XML loading, etc.Navigation.as - the class that handles all menu buttons, etc.Content.as - handles all the pages, game content, whatever.I created a game with this basic structure and published the SWF. Everything works great.Now, I built a website with this same basic structure and when I try to load the game SWF, it throws a bunch of runtime errors - it seems to be confused by the fact that the class names are the same.Each SWF works fine by itself. It only crashes when I try to load one into the other.
I should mention that both the game and website have identical package structure (because they are for the same client, duh!).Is this a flash player bug or am I doing something wrong? I went through the website and renamed all of the classes and it fixed the problem, but my concern is that we may have to load SWFs in the future that we didn't create. What if they have a similar issue? Unlikely, but possible.

My project is about a header.swf that calls a nav.swf (with a menu and other stuff) and also inits a slideshow through a Slideshow class.This is in header.swf:[code]I renamed the XmlParser class to "XmlParser2.as" (as well as other references to it) and then...it worked...what the hell was going on here?
obs: I tried that also: I commented all the code inside the "initSlideShow" function, keeping the XmlParser instantiation, and the nav.swf didn't show as well.
obs2 : i didn't had XmlParser.as imported cause it was in the root directory. ( i explicitely imported it and tried to compile but same thing happened)
obs3: nav.swf uses the XmlParser.as to load two menus, however I don't believe it has anything to do it since it's a file that is already compiled, at the point I try to load it into header.swf, right?

I recently discovered the incredible functionality of getDefinitionByName(), I'm attempting to load in pages for an interactive book.Each page has its own functions, listeners, nested animations, and timers.When loading in these pages, no stop()s are working within the nested clips, and any interactivty has been lost.It's just a mess of a bunch of animations running over and over.[code]
In addition to having the MovieClips not running code, I am running into serious garbage collection issues.I can unload the pages from display, but all sounds continue playing.Does anyone have an idea of why these loaded MovieClips are not running code, and why they will not unload properly with the destroy() method?

Im working on a App that is using a external swf as a container for some graphical assets. An asset is a movieClip symbol with a class name attached to it. for example ASSET_1. I load the swf with the Loader class into the app. Its working fine I can also access ASSET_1 with this technic:
//--- inside onLoaded
var ASSET_1:Class = event.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("ASSE T_1") as Class;
var asset:MovieClip = new ASSET_1() as MovieClip;
addChild(asset);
my problem start when im loading a second swf and than i try to access "ASSET_1" again, and the class doesn't update itself, the content is the same as in the firs one.

I have several library classes that I am loading from swfs external to my main swf. These swfs all use the native tween class (import not extend). This means that I have the tween class creating bulk several times over (as well as the extra bulk for having to load a swf rather than having the class internal).Is there a way that I could make the tween class accessible at runtime to the loaded swfs without having it create the same extra bulk in all of the loaded swfs?the only solution that I can think of is to create yet another swf with the tween class as a library object, that would be loaded at run time by all the other loaded swfs.

I have a document class which links to several classes, one of which adds a container onto the stage and loads external .swf's into it.Q: How do I access the various classes loaded in the document class from the external swf timeline?For instance, when you click a button in the loaded swf it changes the soundtrack from the soundtrack class. I have tried dispatchevent from the external swf timeline, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Is this supposed to work, or should I be doing something different?

Is there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)

The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.

I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?

I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..

inheritance and building classes from other classes.
I have 3 classes:
gfxRoomText - changeable colour
gfxRomInter - changeable colour - interactive
gfxRoomImg - interactive - only image / no colour
The first two incorporate the same text field and functions to change colour. The second and third incorporate another class to interactive with. What is the best way of creating these classes using inheritance and how?
