ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Class Instances Into Listeners And Broadcasters From Inside Each Class?

Jul 8, 2007

I want to know how to make class instances into listeners and broadcasters, from inside each class. Here is what I am trying specifically... part of the Proj class... (projectiles, as a matter of fact)

Code:
private function listen():Void {
u.register(this);
onUpdate = function(){
step(); // a function I have which makes the projectile move (not shown)
}
}

where "u" is another class, the Updater class with this code...

Code:
class Updater {
// const. --- make this a broadcaster
public function Updater(){

[code]....

PS: What is the syntax for using AS2 code tags instead of just "[CODE|"?

IDE :: Acesssing Derived Class Children (stage Instances) From Base Class?

Jul 16, 2009

I'm slightly new to Flash CS3 + AS3 combo, so its more of a lack of practice question. My question stems from the problem described here http:[url].... . Note, its not the same problem, its a new one.The Problem ,So I have multiple library assets (which are on teh stage) and I want to assign similar functionality to all of them.

Attempt 1: So I create the n assets, create a custom class in AS3, link them to Flash CS3 and obviously enough it gives me the error that multiple assets can't be linked to the same class.Obvious enough to understand (well not completely, because from a programmers background it doesn't make sense).

Attempt 2: Same as attempt 1, but instead of linking all the assets to the same class I make the base class the same class, and let the derived class be dynamically created by Flash on compile time.So the linking works, but the problem is, in my base class I have a method which does something (say an tween) on a child of the library asset. So if the assets on the stage/library are called asset1, asset2, asset3 (same name for asset name, class name, id name), each of them has a sub-movieclip called ... say 'foo'. now if I manually wrote a class for each asset, I could do 'this.foo' to play with the sub-movieclip. However since this functionality is in the parent class, I'm unable to do it.

P.S. If you're form a programming/OOP background, its basically a abstract class problem. My Base class knows how to doSomething(), but it needs aSomething, which is defined in the Derived classes. However I found out that AS3 classes don't support virtual(C++ )/abstract (Java) in the true sense of the word (unless I missed some obvious documentation).

Flash :: Interact With All Instances Of A Class From A Separate Class?

Jul 25, 2011

I've been hitting dead ends while programming lately all over, and I finally came to the realization all the code I have that is broken is because I don't know how to interact with instances of one class from within another. Here's the gist of what I am trying to do:

if(this.hitTestObject(targetClip)){
trace("hit!");
}

The problem is, if I address a single instance that is on the canvas, I get "access to undefined property targetClip", even though the document class can interact with it fine. If I target the class file of targetClip, I get "Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject". It isn't just a problem with hitTest either, I'm having this problem with other actions, so there is some basic syntax I'm failing to comprehend.

At sequence mc.q=Math.random()*100; in the trace from test.as it displays 'NaN'. How can I modify the value of 'q' (public variable) via instance? If i use a function like mc.setCoords(x,y) the script works fine.

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 3.0 :: Referencing A Textfield Inside A Movieclip Class From Document Class

Feb 3, 2009

Ok, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.

I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().

I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?

Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?

It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.

That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.

HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:

- Create new flash document

- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage

- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()

- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say

- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great

- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";

That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?

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

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 3.0 :: Dynamically Create Class Inside A Class?

Apr 19, 2010

This is what i'm trying to do :

I have 1 class that extends movieclip, let's call it Class0. I have 1 class that extends movieclip, let's call it Class1.

I create an instance of Class0 on stage like : var myClip0:Class0 = new Class0(this, "Class1");

The class Class0 when initializing, will create a new movieclip (myClip1) and add it as child, as an instance of Class1, like myClip0.myClip1. But it's when i create that clip, i want to tell it, it's an instance of Class1, like :

private var myClip1:Class1 = new Class1(this);

Where Class1 could be any class.

How do i pass Class1 to Class0 so it can create it dynamically?? Do i have to use the apply function??

inside Class0, i have a function that does :

Code:
if(subClass){
initSubclass(subClass);
}
