I just started to learn how to write classes, or external AS files. I have a few movies and they are receiving the same error: #1120 Access of Undefined Property. I've checked Curtis Morley, but I don't think the problem is the instance names. Since I'm adding the the movieclips with the codes. Both movies' errors occur where it contains "e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;" Does any know what's happening?[code]
View 14 RepliesSo, how do we write a class over several files in action script 3? In C# there's the "partial" keyword. In C++ it's natural (you just "#include ..." all files). In Flex 3, in a component, you add this tag: <mx:Script source="myfile.as"/>.
How do I split the following class into several files;
package package_path {
public class cSplitMeClass {
public function cSplitMeClass() {
} public function doX():void {
// ....
} public function doY():void {
// ....
}}}
For example I want to have the doX() and doY() functions implemented in another ".as" file.
Is it possible to zip/compress assets files into binary or .bin format through Actionscript or AIR? The compressed file will be in binary and can only be read by Actionscript which then parses the file.
Right now I am only able to read/write zip files using nochump's amazing library. I tried using AIR to write the bytes to disk and save it as filename.bin but I am still able to read filename.bin using 7-zip.
The objective is to protect my asset files as much as possible. Are there any other ways?
I write a flex + java application using the blazeds framework. when i write log files in my java classes the default path is the java path on the server. I want it to be my application at the tomcat/webapps/application directory when i write it hard-coded it failed (maybe bacause of permissions) but, i want it to be general (not hard-coded) so, what do i need to change in my java code in order to write files in my webapps directory? maybe it just an xml configuration?

What I'm attempting to do is "ID" post to "schedule.txt" and "STime" post to "time.txt" is this possible or do I need to write a php script for each text file? Or am I way off base here? Now I have gotten "ID" to post to "schedule.txt" but not the other.
I've been experimenting with Windows Azure Blob storage using the samples using Silverlight.
I was wondering if it's possible to write a file upload component in Flash instead of Silverlight, since the former is installed almost everywere. I've never programmed in Action Script but I have a solid background in C# so that must not be hard.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.

View 2 RepliesStructure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
View 4 RepliesI spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?
View 2 RepliesI've got an external .as file in the same folder as my flash file. In the process of writing the code, whenever I make a change and then test the movie, the flash movie is obviously still looking at the OLD information. I tried using the "Delete ASO Files" on the menu, to no avail.I can' find these ASO files anywhere on mycomputer.Aha! I tried something else. I quit flash,restarted and ran the same script with no changes. It returned the data correctly, but then gave me this unpleasant message:256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.There are no loops of any kind in the code, which is below.
//This is the Person.as file:
class Person { public var HomName:String = "unknown"; public var HomEmail:String = "unknown"; public var HomPhone:String = "unknown"; public var HomSaveFreq:Number = 0;

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

I'm loading external jpgs into a swf movie. This works fine from the swf. The problem is when I embed it in the html. File Structure that I want:
movie.html
FolderB>
ImageFolder>image.jpg
movie.swf (path to the images is ImageFolder/image.jpg
When I run the movie.swf from within the directory, it runs fine. However, when I embed it in the movie.html it doesn't run. Question: Are paths from the swf relative to the PAGE that the swf is contained in vs the swf itself? Hope that makes sense.
What I would like to do is a flex app, that uses fonts that are available in external swf.[code]...

View 5 RepliesI'm working on a Flash project (which will eventually be published as an .exe - not sure if that makes any difference) which has buttons which need to open up external files.The external file will vary in type (there will be at least one button each for .pdf, .exe and .swf).I've managed to get this from various online help things:
Code:
function f_testURLOpener()
{
var url:String = "BWorking.exe";
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request);
}
I've tested it with about 5 different file types and it only seems to work if the url String begins with "http://". Even local htm/ html files don't open.
I have a .fla file which is pulling in a document class. Within that main class document many other classes are being called like the code attached. my question is when I make a change to a .as file such as XaMLDiplomat.as, and then republish the .fla, should those changes update to the .swf? I am not seeing the changes I made to the external .as file, so that is the reason for this post.
View 4 RepliesI have been provided with some flash movies/apps to include in a web design that I am doing. These flash movies load an external xml file.This is failing.The problem appears to be that when the flash movie goes to load the file using a relative directory path, it starts at the very root of the web directory, where the main jsp file is, instead of the where the .swf file is located.[url]...
