ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A Custom Class (Testing) That Would Create A Box When An Instance Of The Class Is Created
Aug 29, 2007
I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

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'm new to Flash AS3. I started making a game and I am a bit confused. Let's assume that I want to create a game that has multiple levels/modes, how can I do this in an object orientated way?
When i create games in other languages e.g. XNA C#, i create a separate class then create an object of that class within the main class and run the game based on a simple statement.

I am trying to pass a variable to a method in one of my Classes so I can use it to create the correct movieClip (image).
My Class code looks like this:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class SlideShow extends MovieClip{
public function SlideShow() {
[Code] ....
I am getting the following error:
SlideShow.as, Line 30
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Background.

I am writing a code where I am trying to create a sprite variable in one class, and create several new instances of that sprite variable in another that all need to be on the stage at the same time. For example I created a variable like this, var ball:Sprite = new Sprite(), then drew the sprite in the same class that that variable was created in, then using encapsulation (i.e. _myNewInstance:AddNewInstance = new AddNewInstance(ball)) I am trying to reference that variable and create several new instances of it in the "AddNewInstanceClass" through for loops.

I have written a Class for skinning the UI. The Class works by taking a movie clip name from the stage passed to it and create the skin for it.So I create an Object from the class such as this:
Code:
var CBox:UI = new UI();
Now what I wanted to do is reference a movie clip from the stage to this CBox variable, so when a call the Class methods it will know which movie clip to work on! Since currently I have to do this:
Code:
CBox.Skinning(content_mc, "content", 100, 200);
or
CBox.Over(content_mc);
As you can see Im passing the movie clip, content_mc, everytime. I just want to avoid this by creating a reference.

I want to create a custom class that will create textfields and return them to other classes, but it seems i cant get it working.First i created this custom class named "FormatText" extending Sprite class.Through constructor parameters i pass all the things i need to create a textfield and at the end i put it on the display list using addChild.If i do by this way and i create an istance of FormatText adding it to the display list, my textfield appears, but the problem is that i don't have full control of it, because this new textfield created is still considerated as FormatText's child, so if i try to change some textfield parameters, nothing happens.
Just an example:
var txt:FormatText = new FormatText(param1, param2, param3, etc.).
addChild(txt).

I want to create a class where when you mouse click on an instance of it, all other instances are notified about this click.
I want this functionality to be inside the class so there wll be no need to write any code outside the class definition, like assigning listeners to all instances and such.I wrote the following code but the event I dispatch doesn't get catched.
package sample{ import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.Event; public class labels extends MovieClip { var dispatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher(); public function labels() { this.buttonMode = true;

Is it possible to create an instance of a class without triggering the class' constructor?[code]In the case above, say I wanted to play around with a Foo instance, but I really don't want my global.foobarCount going up, nor do i want to pass in any value at all for bar.This could be useful for introspection where you want to learn more about or pass a particular class object but don't want to provide required arguments or trigger anything that the constructor may do.Is this at all possible? (Obviously, new Foo() just doesn't cut it here, since it would throw and arguments error, nor does just using Foo, since that's a reference to the class itself).

I'm working on a project right now in Flash Builder which is strictly AS3. I've written a bunch of code for various graphic assets that are being developed in the Flash IDE and compiled into a library swf. So, for example, I might have a drop down list Sprite which I layout in the flash IDE and then set its class to: [url].....With the library swf loaded into my project, if I need to create a new dropdown list I would say something like:
Code:
load.getDefinition(classes[name]) as Class
and then create a new instance of the class that is returned. I decided to try saying 'new DropDown()' instead of pulling the class definition from the loader, and I got a new DropDown. I figure this is because the DropDown library asset is now in the ApplicationDomain and Flash Builder knows that when I say 'new DropDown()' I'm saying [url]....' and it can find that class file. However if my library asset just had a class of 'Widget' and no path back to an .as file it would throw an error. Am I correct in this statement?

How do I create a custom event class similar to ActionScript? What I mean by that is a class that I can use to fire off my own events, send the necessary data.
I don't wanna use third-party libraries like YUI or jQuery to do it. My goal is to be able to send a event that looks like this.[code]...

I'd like to learn how to create classes. For instance, I'd like to create a class that draws a custom shape. Like an arrow that is just a rectangle with a triangle on the end. I'd like to be able to do this sort of thing:
myArrow = new Arrow();
myArrow._x = 10;
myArrow._y = 50;
myArrow._width = 100;
etc . . .
