Imagine I have a game with a base Entity class, with an init method that takes no arguments. Now I have a Wizard class, but I want to pass in 2 parameters, say speed and strength. In AS3 (and I believe Java and C#) I will not be allowed to do this - it is an "incompatible override" because the method signatures won't match. Now I could just make an "initWizard" method instead, but then I have the problem of the init method of each class potentially having different names. I need solutions that work in AS3, Java or C#.

why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.
package com.parkerandkent.components.classic.photogallery {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
"Test 2" will not fire here.And I get this error message:

I am calling [url]...........to log in to facebook using the actionscript api (as explained in this tutorial: http:[url]...... But, it does not seem to do anything.Looking at the API source, the only call that is made to JS is
ExternalInterface.call('FBAS.init', JSON.encode(options));
The two javascript libraries which are required are: http:[url].....
However, i cannot find any reference to FBAS in these libraries. Am I even using the correct libraries? Is there another reason I have missed as to why FBAS doesnt exist? or even why calling Facebook.init() does nothing?

I used to work on AS2 to make my animations, buttons and portfolios, but now I needed to use AS3 to make some forms interact with some PHP script. TextInputs and Buttons on COMPONENTS are working and interacting normally with PHP. My PreLoader is working great too. But what should the easiest is not working: MY SIMPLE BUTTONS! It used to be so easy in AS1 and 2, but now on AS3 it's not working. I am putting all my action and codes in a ACTIONS FRAME in the top of my animation, but it is not working! I have my Preloader on my frame 1 working, calling my animation on frame 2. The code is here (it's working):

What I would like to do is to call a method from a superclass in a subclass. Specifically I want to be able to add the subclass as a child of the superclass but without physically having to type addChild in the superclass (but I will have to type it in the subclass). For now I'm just trying to call a method in the superclass that draws some text from a subclass.
Here is the MAIN class (the superclass)
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code].....
The code doesn't compile, I get "Call to a possibly undefined method DRAWTEXT through a reference with a static type class".
I realize there are otherways to display text on the screen. I just need to learn how to call superclass methods.

Because I want to use the above code more than a few times, I tried to make it a function.

But for some reason the function call does not work when I call it via an action on a graphic where initially the code worked when it was explicitly written and not called as a function.

In my flash document, I have a movieclip drawn on the flash stage (put there myself, not dynamically). I want to use this as a holder for an external .swf. I am using a sub-class to run the loading script. I pass the stage reference to it as the variable "theStage". It has no trouble loading things directly to the stage, but it can't find my movieclip for some reason. I have exported the movieclip for actionscript in the symbol properties panel and have given it an instance name.I've tried theStage.myMovieClip.addChild(mySwf); and suchlike, but always get this error message in output:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property myMovieClip not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value.at MethodInfo-206()Some more information: It works from the main class without any trouble.

I have a Hero class that extends a Unit class that extends a SelectableObject class.[code]I have a movieclip in the library that links to the Hero. Inside the movieclip is another movieclip with the instance name "selector".In the Hero I can use selector.gotoAndStop (n) because the movieclip is linked to that class, but I can't do that for the SelectableObject because it's not linked to that.Is there a way to make selector.gotoAndStop (n) work for the SelectableObject? I can't even do var something:* = this.selector because the movieclip isn't linked to it.Or should I just remove the instance name for the selector in the movieclip so I can declare var selector:* = this.getChildAt (1) in the SelectableObject (the selector being the second child)?

I'm building a portfolio site for myself. When I load the Thumbnails class directly into the FLA, it works flawlessly. But when I load it into another class as an instance or through extends, nothing shows up. could post the code but there's a lot of it. There must be a very common explanation for this sort of no-show problem, right?this.addChild(thumb);for every dynamic instance loaded and it pulls a trace, but doesn't appear.

I'm working on a iPad game in Flash Pro CS5.5 and it was compiling correctly. Now I have marked a lot of MovieClip classes for Export for Actionscript so they use a custom MovieClip subclass as base class.
When publishing the movie I get a SWF without any actionscript in it (publishing takes also a lot less time then before). Now I have a suspicion this is because there seems to be a limit on the number of Export for Actionscript you can have?
The problem is that for iPad I can not split my .fla to create multiple swfs; since swfs that you load via the main document can not have any ActionScript in it (I tried already to put all the sounds in a seperate SWF with export for actionscript turned on, that didn't work).

In haxe I have a DropDownMenu class that extends MovieClip:
class DropDownMenu extends MovieClip { ...
TextFields are added to DropDownMenus (about 50 TextFields total):
// in a loop in DropDownMenu new method
addChild(myTextField);
When a DropDownMenu is displayed the items further down are hidden as the menu goes off the bottom of the flash player. How can I make these DropDownMenus scroll?
I've considered doing something on the rollout mouse event. However I imagine MovieClip provides some mechanism for scrolling its contents.

I am plain stumped. I am working in F8/as2.0.I have a class that extends the MovieClip class. I have a blank_mc in the library that is linked to the class. Here is the constructor:
ActionScript Code:
public function MyMC (target_mc:MovieClip){
var _mc:MovieClip = this;
_mc = target_mc.attachMovie (.....);
}
That works all fine and dandy. Where I am having issues is basically I have properties x, y that DON't overwrite the _mc's _x & _y props. Instead, the use getter & setters that take values and then calculate the needed number to set the actuall _mc._x, _y props. This doesn't seem to work at all and i don't know why. Here is the code:
[Code]
So I got this to work by NOT extending the MC. Instead I have a variable ref to a _mc prop in the class.However I am unable to set event functions to it even if I make some ref to the _mc prop. Is there a good way of approaching this by say a decorator pattern?

I have a movie clip "Obstacle" for a simple game. I have a class for it (Obstacle.as) that creates it, and moves it. In this Obstacle there is a text field - i use it for testing right now.
I want to make another Obstacle (HayBale) - with a subclass (HayBale.as). I have it mostly working. ACCEPT that text field.
It pitches this error:

I designed and added in the library MyMovieClip,then i defined a class MyClass, and set up MyClass as BaseClass of the MyMovieClip.Until here All works fine.Then i started writing MyClass. Pointing the attention on a private varible theMC:MovieClip.i wrote the setting function to link this private variable to a Mclip instance in the stage.[code]The class MyClass must subclass flash.Display.MovieClip since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

Running Flash CS3, I've reviewed the lynda.com tutorial on building particle systems in ActionScript 3.0 to try and build some shooting sparks in an animation.I'm getting stuck at what I think is a really elementary point, but I can't seem to get past it.
Basically, all I'm trying to do at this point is create a class called Particle (which I will teach to do things that particles do a little later) link it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the particle's update function to move it across the stage in a manner defined in the instance (so I can later give different movement properties to each AS generated instance of the MC). I know there are easier ways to accomplish my base task without loading an external package, but this seems so strightforward that I must be doing something very simple wrong I just can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.
I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my Spark Test.fla file.
In Particle.as I have the following code:
package{ import flash.display.*; public class Particle extends MovieClip { public xVelocity:Number; public yVelocity:Number; public function Particle() { xVelocity = 0; yVelocity = 0; } public function update():void { this.x += xVelocity; this.y += yVelocity; } }}
So I'm declaring that all particles are built with no motion, but if they are explicitly granted an x or y velocity, they will move by that much when the instance's update function is called in the timeline.
Then in my Spark Test.fla file, I have a small shape in a MovieClip called Spark. In the Linkage properties of Spark I have chosen to Export for ActionScript and Export in FIrst Frame. The class is called Spark and the Base class is Particle. For testing purposes I've dropped an instance on the stage and called it spark. Then in the actions layer in the first frame (the timeline is just the spark layer and the actions layer, one frame long each with no "stop();" so it should run forever) I have included the following code:
spark.xVelocity = 5;spark.yVelocity = -1;
function updateSpark(event:Event):void{ spark.update();}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSpark);
What it looks like this should do is on each ENTER_FRAME Flash should call updateSpark which is a function that runs the update() event for the spark instance which is a instance of a movieclip that has an update event which moves x and y position by their relative velocity variables. This all seems pretty straightforward to me, but when I ctrl-Enter to test the movie, I get the following 3 compiler errors:
Particle.as Line 1: 5000: The class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Particle.as Line 7: 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not xVelocity.
Particle.as Line 7: 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before semicolon.

I have a Flash game and the idea is to upload it to Facebook, and everything seems to be ok (When entering the Facebook app, the swf shows perfectly and I'm able to post the facebook user id, the user name and the score to a database in the server where the game is located. I intend the game to automatically post to the user feed what he/she had score, but after making a lot of tests I found out that the method is simply not running.[code]

I'm having some serious issues trying to get externalinterface to work in ie. I've looked around and seen that there are problems with ie when the swf is inside a form tag but my swf is not. Also I have set "allowscriptaccess" to "always" and still nothing. It works fine in FF and safari. In ie all i get is a little icon in the bottom corner that says "Error on page" and when I select that it just says something to the effect that there is a syntax error but doesn't give any helpful details at all.

I am guessing it must be a font that Flash doesn't likes, but I don't know how to find it. I have FontAgent Pro installed, and it shows no corrupt fonts.
I have 2K+ fonts installed, and %90+ of them are Adobe FontFolio fonts. Others are standard Windows fonts, and a few commercial ones purchased from MyFonts.com
Anyone have any solution for this? Less ridiculous than uninstalling all the fonts and re-installing them in small packs, like 10 by 10, to find which ones are no-good.
Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks runs smoothly without any error, so I think this MUST be a bug in flash CS4.
Edit: The version is CS4 10.0.2
