ActionScript 2.0 :: DispatchEvent With A Function Declared Inside The Class?

Jan 19, 2007

I've got a class where I'm using:

o.type = "focus";
o.target = "this";
dispatchEvent(o);

and then focus is a function of an object in the FLA.

I want focus to be in the AS External Class file but it won't trigger.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function From An Extended Class Inside A Top Level Class

Sep 23, 2009

package{
public class Character{
protected var _hp:uint = 50; //Character Health Points
protected var _power:uint = 5; //Damage dealt

[Code].....

I`m instancing a Character and a Player in the Main Timeline, all in frame 1.
When I use: ""player.attack(character)"" it works fine by itself.

So I added the if (defender._hp <= 0) this.win() which gives me the following error:

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method win through a reference with static type Character.

"defender" is a Character instance, "this" is a Player instance and "win()" is a Player method. I try to call the Player method inside a Character method using the Player instance adding the "." and his method name

Do I really need to define the win() function in the Character class? Is there a bypass to use a subclass method in a parent class method if it`s called from an instance of the subclass?

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetInterval With A Class - Function Doesn't Work Inside Class ?

Oct 7, 2004

I was wondering why my current code for calling a setInterval on a function doesn't work inside my class.I have this code inside one function, calling a second function.

intID = setInterval(selfReferential, dupe, 30, 0x000000);

The selfReferential keyword refers to the current class,but was defined previously (selfReferential = this; ).I get no errors, but the dupe() function is never called.and I had the selfReferential variable replaced with the this keyword at one point as well.

Actionscript 3 :: Events Declared In A Class?

I sometimes see events declared near the top of the class (i.e. below the imports but above the constructor):

What exactly is this? Is this an "import" of a certain type of event?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Delete Object Declared Within Function?

Mar 6, 2010

"you cannot delete variables that are declared within a function with the var statement".Which, as it happens, is precisely what I was trying to doI want to delete the object because it holds a bunch variables that are no longer needed, to prevent potential speed/memory issues later on.it's impossible (probably with reason) and I know vars are local to a function, so now I'm wondering if it is actually necessary to remove local variables

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access Variable That Was Declared Outside Function

Feb 1, 2010

I have a problem accessing a variable which is to store a frame label. Code has been shortened to relevant parts. The following is on the main timeline.

PHP Code:

stop();var nextSection:String = "";buttonContainer.aboutUs.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveButtonsForContent);function moveButtonsForContent (evt:MouseEvent):void {if

[code]....

I have a movieclip called "sections" which loads different sections of the website.When the first section is clicked thencontainerCenter is true and the evt.target.name is loaded in to the nextSection variable.Now if a 2nd section is clicked then containerCenter is false. It plays the sections movieclip. Within that movieclip it will eventually play and come to the following script:

PHP Code:

gotoAndPlay(nextSection);

For some reason it won't pick up the variable "nextSection" within the movieclip. I'm getting the error message "Access of undefined property nextSection". It has no problem when it is in the main timeline.I know you can't access a variable declared inside a function, but I have it declared outside the function as you can see above. I've just amended the variable from within the function.

ActionScript 3 :: DispatchEvent Does Not Work In Secondary Class

Jan 14, 2011

I have a SWF called Application.swf that loads another SWF called jeu.swf. My main class (don't know how to call it haha), is called Main.as. Another class is called actionObjets.as. When I call:
dispatchEvent(new MicroJeuEvent(MicroJeuEvent.JEU_TERMINE, 8, ""));
It works perfectly from Main.as, it works perfectly.

But when I call it from actionObjets, it doesn't work. No error either. I tried putting this line in a static function, doesn't work either. Why can I dispatch an Event from my main class and not from another one? I'm not a programmer and I just don't get a few of the basic principles of as3. Is there a way of doing differently?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Transferring Values From One Class To Another Via DispatchEvent?

Nov 9, 2009

transferring values from one class to another via dispatchEvent.

main.fla
code/main.as (Doc class)
code/game/card.as
code/game/board.as

I can communicate an event between any of them fine using a dispatchEvent and addEventListener, and I can get values from the card & board actionscript files into main.as using e.target.*

However for some reason I just cannot get a value to send from main.as to the card or board classes using this same method. And I'm literally stumped as to why.

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).
