ActionScript 2.0 :: Predefined Arguments In A Constructor?
Nov 21, 2005Is it posible to have predefined arguments in a constructor so if the user doesn't enter one it takes the default value? I tried doing it this way:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Boolean Arguments In The Main Constructor
Jan 3, 2012I'm having a weird behaviour with some some classes that I'm making. It seems that the Boolean values from arguments get changed on the way. I have two classes. On is called Carousel and the other Activity. The Carousel main task is to instantiate several Activity objects and place them in a way that resembles a carousel. This part is done, but there's a problem passing arguments from Carousel to Activity. Some data to instantiate the Activity come from an XML file. The XML resembles something like this:

Actionscript 3 :: Inheriting Constructor Arguments From Parents
Apr 14, 2012I'm making a game in action script 3. In it, I have an actor class from which player and enemy classes will be derived. I'm doing this so that unless I need to provide specific AI or fancy behavior (such as for bosses), I can just make a new clip in the library for each enemy without making an actionscript file.
However, I've run into a problem.
Whenever I try to pass arguments to the construction of an enemy (make it spawn with more health), I get error 1136 (Incorrect number of arguments.)
This is because the constructor created automatically at runtime doesn't have the same arguments as it's parent class. Is there any way to get around this without making a class file where I copy and paste the parent constructor function for each of my hundreds of enemies?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Array Of Arguments To Constructor
Apr 17, 2010I'm passing a DisplayObject to a command that will instantiate it. Something like this:
// ViewClass is passed into this method typed as a Class
var view : DisplayObject = new ViewClass() as DisplayObject;
Is there a way to pass arguments to ViewClass() without knowing it's type? I'm assuming the list of parameters passed to any object's constructor is an array, but I'm not certain how to proceed.
I know I can do something like this:
// Assume arguments, an Array of arguments, has also been passed in
var view : DisplayObject = new ViewClass(arguments[0], arguments[1], arguments[2], arguments[3], arguments[4]) as DisplayObject;
But clearly I'd like something more dynamic, like to be able to just pass the arguments Array directly. I suppose all of this, however, goes against any type safe checking
ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arguments To Constructor Of Symbol?
Jul 15, 2010I've drawn a pretty button in Flash and given it the Class name PausePlayButton. It extends PlayerController, which allows it to toggle on and off and control whether a MovieClip is playing or not.When I instantiate it, I want to pass a reference to the MovieClip it controls into the contructor so that PlayerController has access to the MovieClip's public methods. However, I can't pass a reference into the constructor of PlayerController, unless I can pass it into the constructor of the symbol itself and call super. But where is that constructor? How do I give the button a reference to another object?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arguments To A Custom MC Class Constructor?
Oct 30, 2011I'm having trouble with the constructor for a custom Class tied to a library MovieClip.
Say I have a MovieClip in my library named Circle, which is tied to the class com.shapes.Circle . I want the Circle class contstructor to take 2 arguments, xScale and yScale:
public function Circle(xScale:Number, yScale:Number) { }
However, if I try to call that from in code, for example Circle ball = new Circle(3.14,2.0); , I always get an "Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0" error.
Is it possible to have a custom class tied to a MovieClip that can take arguments, or does Flash not allow this? I'd asked about this before and thought I figured it out, but from looking at it now I apparently hadn't figured it out and had resorted to a sloppy workaround; I'm hoping to fix it now.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Tiding Instance Variables With Constructor Arguments?
Jan 28, 2010I know what instance variables, contractor methods, local variables and constructor arguments are (I think) but I'm confused as to when or how to use them, for instance I have use this a lot and I don't really understand why it is used like this...
[AS] package standard.testing {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.greensock.*;
[code]....
Why create a function with arguments...
[AS]public function tweenMe(mc:MovieClip, xPos:Number, yPos:Number)[/AS]
Then create instance variables...
[AS]
public var _mc = MovieClip;
public var _xPos= Number;
public var _yPos = Number
[/AS]
then create local variables with the values of the arguments
[AS]
_mc = mc;
_yPos = yPos;
_xPos = xPos;[/AS]
Actionscript 3 :: Flash: Pass Constructor Arguments To Objects Placed On Stage?

this.width = width;
this.height = height;

Actionscript 3 :: Automate Property Assignment To New Instance From Arguments In Constructor
Apr 8, 2010I like finding out about tricky new ways to do things. Let's say you've got a class with a property that gets set to the value of an argument in the constructor, like so:[code]That's not exactly a hassle. But imagine you've got... I don't know, five properties. Ten properties, maybe. Rather then writing out each individual assignment, line by line, isn't there a way to loop through the constructor's arguments and set the value of each corresponding property on the new instance accordingly? I don't think that the ...rest or arguments objects will work, since they only keep an enumerated list of the arguments, not the argument names - I'm thinking something like this would be better:[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calculating And Evaluating A Predefined Path?
Nov 22, 2011i have a small challenge calculating and evaluating a predefined path
here is my challenge in short.
- i got a path as a single color line on a white background (bitmap object but could as well be a vector shape)
- the path is a closed loop path (like a twisted and bend circle, let's call it a bean shape).
- i then need to move an object along this path in x steps but only once and stop exactly where it started
This means, i need to:
- find a start end point
- calculate the length of the path
- set keynodes along the path with X amount of spacing between (length/x)
- it got to be semi precise (within 1-2 px.)
one idea could be to loop throught the pixels till to find a color pixel and use this as the starting point, then use an vector with a predefined length (ex. 5 px) "rotate" it till it find a new color pixels and mark this as a new node, repeat the process till you get close to the starting point, and by using Trial and error you'll eventually have mapped the path, but this method is clumsy and not very accurate, if you don't hit the starting point spot on the first time, you'll recalculate everything over again.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Counting The Number Of Days Since A Predefined Start Date?
Nov 2, 2010I'm trying to build a functionality into a Flash app, which would calculate the number of days that have passed since a defined date.
The idea is that a start date would be defined in the script (in whatever format) and the application would count and return the number of days since that date. According to that number the app would determine the availability of a set of links listed in the style of a calendar. I'm gonna be using a date variable from my servers to determine the current date.
How should I proceed with this? How should the varying number of days in months be handled? What about leap year?
Flash - Realistic Dice Throwing Animation With Predefined Outcome
Jan 23, 2011I need to create a small dice game in Flash. The random number generator is external and I have to create a 3D realistic dice animation with that outcome. I'm using Away3D engine and JigLib for physics. So far the best idea I've had is to do many simulations and create a list of outcomes and their corresponding input parameters (initial position, initial orientation and the forces added to the RigidBody). This is not working so well. Sometimes for the same parameters the outcome is different. What is the best way to do this?

Whenever I click on existing circle[which gets created when I click on the loaded image, which is of Sprite type], the size of the circle should be increased to some extent(let us assume, basically circle(Sprite)is created with radius=3 when we click on the image, but, when we click on the created circle, it's radius must be increased to 5). It is the requirement.
So, for this to implement, Do we have any property or method to change the Sprite object's size directly?
