I am looking for an example that will show me how to work around the no-multiple-inheritance problems in AS2. I have a class that extends the UIComponent, but I also want to extend the XMLSocket. I've looked and looekd and see no good example for when I'm writing my class.
View 4 RepliesI am working on inheritance for the first time. Here is the super class
SetBlank.as
Code:
import flash.text.*;
class SetBlank {
public var _textFieldName:TextField;
public var _defaultName:String;
public function SetBlank(textFieldName:TextField, defaultName:String) {

I can see the trace function working but the method which sets the text field to blank is now working.

View 4 RepliesWithout being able to modify the prototype chain, is it possible to fake multiple inheritance in AS3?
Say I have three Window classes. One is a DraggableWindow, one is a ScalingWindow, and one is a BorderWindow.
I want to mix and match new subclasses at runtime without having to make tons of new permutations of Window subclass possibilities.
Sure, I can implement these behaviors of the Window class as interfaces, but I would still have to account for all the permutations of interface combinations.

I have a parent MC (I'll call this mcFrame) on the stage that is essentially a square "picture" frame which I have applied a 'drop shadow' filter to. I have a child MC (I'll call this mcChild) which I have added to the displayList via AS3. This child MC contains a couple of paragraphs of static text.
So here is my problem: The 'drop shadow' filter I applied to the parent MC also appears on the static text (or any other type of content) in the child MC, how do I keep this from happening? To re-word my question? How do I stop the Child MC from inheriting the filters applied to its Parent MC.
I'm having trouble getting my inheritance variables worked out. In 'plain English', this is what I want:
base class enemy:
{variable HP;
if(HP<=0){remove instance}[code].....
But when I try to do this, it just gives me some error either about conflicting namespace or about the variable not being defined. I've done stuff like this before in GM and Python, but I don't understand how it's supposed to be done in AS3.
i made an example so i can explein the prob better.[code]I am making a class and if have another build in object in it. I what to add a callback to it but the inheritance is not right. I know how the set up inheritance
1) subClass.prototype.__proto__ = superClass.prototype;
2) subClass.prototype. = new superClass;
but its all messed up in my head so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to get the callback to work with out messing up the LoadVars class too much
i am writing a flash app that receives its data over a XMLSocket. On the testmachine that worked really fine, but now the data will be ssl secured. Is there any XMLSSLSocket or something similar available? If not XMLSocket a normal SSLSocket would be a great help as well.

I have three classes (shown below, after the problem description).The first class (InteractiveStrategy) is the main class definition. In there I declare and instantiate two variables, download and upload, both of DataTxRx class.
On instantiation the folowing error pops up>> 1203: No default constructor found in base class strategy:DataTxRx public function Question(){ The second class, DataTxRx does two things only, either to download data or to upload data. As shown in its constructor, if the required parameter 'direction' is equal to DOWNLOAD, it calls the DownloadData() function. Similary, it calls the UploadData() if the required parameter is equal to UPLOAD.
The third class, Question extends the DataTxRx class, but itself has no constructor. However it has other methods(not shown) for adding, modifying and deleting questions anomg others.

View 5 RepliesI'd like to create some kind of component's properties inheritance to create generic behaviors in my component.Imagine I work a lot with textfield based components (counters, animated text... and so on), I'd like my artist to custom these components without being scared by the "update" button. Today, when component's code is updated, my artist has to update every flas using these components, and all of them are re-set to original look (if he had customed font color, or font size by duplicating the component instance, everything is set back to the current look of component).
That's why I'd like to know if there is a way for a component to inherit some of its properties and behaviors from another component class ?
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class AbstractTarget extends Sprite [codee]................
And then I have a class called "Target" that extends AbstractTarget...how do I access the __movement property? Do I have to write the getter and setter in my Target class also and override both functions/methods?
If you have a method in your base class that is protected, can you override this method in your subclasses?
View 1 RepliesMy data is of mixed types like String, Array Collection, Boolean. I have to populate the data into appropriate UI component - for example Boolean to check box, Array to List. So we have created a factory class which will return 3 different type of component based on the input argument.
CTextfield -> extends mx.controls.Text
CList -> extends mx.controls.List
CCheckBox -> extends custom.MultiLineCheckBox
MultiLineCheckBox which extends mx.controls.CheckBox and few methods are overridden to bring the multiple line label. [URL]. It works perfect.Am using the MultiLineCheckBox in the entire application wherever I want check Box. Now I went into a scenario where I want check Box instead of MultiLineCheckBox. How to rewrite my CCheckBox to handle MultiLineCheckBox and also default CheckBox? Each of the CCheckBox class has lot of methods init.
fact: using my setup, a class that inherits from another class does not inherit the parent class' getter/setter methods.
View 2 RepliesMy problem is I wish to find the x and y position of certain child objects. however when i try to display these values I am only shown their position when the child is initially added to the stage.Once the child moves due to the parent object moving, visually the child is moving, however when tracing or displaying the childs x position it remains static.Here is an abstracted version of my problem, it is all code based so it should run fine. The problem area is highlighted using comments and you will notice that the child positions in the trace logs do not change.

I have a perl socket on my apache server that correctly takes input from sockets and sends it back out to every socket connected to the perl socket. I have tested the perl socket, and it works correctly.
When I launch the Flash in the IDE, as a flash program, it functions correctly with the perl socket.
However, when I try to launch the Flash in a Browser on my apache server, it tells me it is unable to connect to the server.However, I am seeing from feedback from my perl socket, the flash connects for about a half of a second, and thats it.
What could be the problem, do I have to include code in the flash to allow XMLSockets to connect in a browser as well? Is there certain things I need to do with my apache server to make it work?
Also if I 'Preview as HTML' from Adobe Flash CS4, it does not connect.
I'm trying to make a socket client in FlashAS3 for my socket server written in nodejs. I also have a mobile app client that communicates with it.
In AS3 I wrote some test code that works perfectly when I publish and run Windows EXE file but when publishing to SWF and opening in browsers it does not connect to server. Even all that "imports" do not help. The Code:

On this page it says "The XMLSocket.connect method can connect only to TCP port numbers greater than or equal to 1024"This makes it hard to get a chatserver to work through a firewall.BUT I recently discovered on this page that you can set up "policies" for your flash movie that allow it to run on port 80.

I have an issue when consuming a web service from a Flex app. In the backend I have a hierarchy, let's say I have an abstract class Fruit, and 2 implementations: Apple and Orange. Fruit has a property, name, Apple has a property color, and Orange has a property radius. Then, I have a service wich returns a collection of Fruit. When I consume it from Flex, this collection returns objects wich type are Fruit, with its name property; but I lose all the properties for the implementation classes (color nor radius). So, the question is, does Flex support inheritance mapping when using web services? If not, is there any workarround?

View 3 Repliesi've been reading a variety of tutorials on the subject of inheritance, and i felt ready to try creating a chain of a few classes.right now i have two similar classes, Avatar and Enemy, which extend movieclip. What i'm trying to do is move a lot of their common functionality into a parent class which i'm calling Actor. I want to make Actor extend MovieClip, then make Enemy and Avatar extend Actor instead of Movieclip.[code]
What it says is true. I have an object in my library which is a movieclip. It's Exported for Actionscript with it's class as Soldier, and a base class of Avatar. this is the continuation of the chain. However it doesn't seem to want to work.As far as i understand, the above setup is pretty much equivilant to making a .as file for Soldier that extends Avatar.
What is the difference between import and extends in AS 2.0?

Code:
class Dot extends Sprite {
public function Dot():void {
ring.scaleX = 1.0;
[Code]...
If I attach the class Dot to the movie clip everything is fine, but if I attach the class Dottle to the movieclip the pre-export complains saying it can't find 'ring'. however, if I use this['ring'] everything works fine. I understand WHY this is, but I don't know what I should do to make it so it works w/out have to put this[''] around everything.
I'm creating an isometric game in AS3, Flash CS4.I created a file named Units.as which contains the following:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
The postoffice and cornershop movieclips have been set to the corresponding class names above.The file is in the same folder as the .fla and can be seen in the project window.When I compile, it doesn't include the Units.as file. Even if it just contains:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
if i create a class from the project window and select the movieclip in the library, it does include that file.So I'm assuming the compiler only includes .as files with filenames corresponding to class names.
