In a program I'm making, I have multiple instances of the same object on the stage at any given point, and I need some function which will allow me to target each of those instances one by one so I can update their properties. I recall seeing something like this somewhere, but after searching I cannot seem to find it.
View 7 Repliesi have a for loop running through an array:
Code:
for (var e:int = 0; e < coo.length; e++) {
coo[e].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, evidenzia);
coo[e].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, evidenzia_fisso);[code]....
i'm recalling this cycle in a lot of functions so it's kinda boring and confusing repeating it every time.i tried assigning a variable to the elements:
Code:
var coo_att:MovieClip = MovieClip (coo[e]); but it doesn't work properly.
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) {
var currentIndex:MovieClip = this["menuButton" + i]
currentIndex.menuButtonTxt.text = menuArray[i];
[code]...
So when I did this the problem that I am having is that it throws an error at compile time. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.
Basically plots a dot wherever you click. Getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type Function.

In my flex app there are a few custom components. I want to create instance of these components at runtime and assign them properties by reading in a config file. I know how to read xml and instantiate components, however my question is about being able to get the type of the component from the xml attribute and then creating an instance of that type.
View 1 Repliesi have a class that has something like this

so i need to assign to the f a function that takes an argument f(s), something like

how to do all this, so it will work correctly?
I have a piece of code, that moves an array depending on it's type. If the array is of TypeA objects, it will change TypeA. If it is TypeB it will change TypeB. The issue with the current code is the repeative blocks.

I want it to act on all the instances of the movieclip it is contained within. It is only acting upon the last of the instances that was loaded or had focus... I'm clearly missing something or am trying to achieve something that isn't capable of working...
I imagine this has been asked before but forgive me, the search feature seems not to be working for me; and despite working, google search isn't helping much either.I simply would like to apply the exact same action to multiple buttons without re-writing the same thing (n) times. For example: I have 8 or 9 buttons that on mouseOver and mouseOut will have performed identical functions, though the graphics in their corresponding keyframes may or may not be discrete from one another.So, is there a short way to write this, like say (imaginative I know...):[code]
View 4 RepliesI hacked together a bunch of code I've found throughout the most excellent Kirupa and added a bunch of stuff myself.(Mad props to Scotty and Seniculor (sp?) btw)Everything I added works except the rollover function for multiple MC's that are created when the gallery generates.I want the buttons to continue fading out after rollout.Once you roll in to another MC the rollout function stops.It should work like a "wave" effect when you roll over all the buttons quickly.I've played around with local variables, deleting enterframes, etc. etc. but just can't get anything to work.I only included applicable code so please ignore any extra "}" I may have left in there when I pasted.[code]

I'm having issues with something wanted to accomplish involving qued amations that i can reuse in various situations throughout an application...
Basically, what I'm trying to get is a prototype or function that will allows for multiple instances on that stage that start at a specific x/y and size, animate to a specific x/y size and end at a specific x/y and size... the x/y and size information is defined for each of the instances in the function.
A good place for this would be with buttons... check the sloppy diagram attached.
I'm making a gallery using XML data and loading the information into a mc instance that are in turn being attached to the stage via linkage id. My question is this: I need to make all of those instances fade out with a function, and I have created a for loop to do this, however it is not working.. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

What is the ActionScript 3 function that returns the type of a variable ?
I remember that there is one but I can't remember it nor can I find any reference of it.
I want to guess the type of every argument from an anonymous function, something like mapping a class with reflection but just for a function, something like...
public function guessMyArgumentType(f:Function):void {
for each (argument:* in f.arguments) {
trace(typeof(argument));

It doesn't appear to be possible to get the return type of a function. Is this correct?

I'm wondering if it is possible to be able to type a function name into a Text Input and call the function that was put in. I know you could do it by using if conditions but I'm wondering if there is a way to turn that string into the function caller.

I have a number of functions and I want to execute 1 based on the entries in a .xml file
part my xml file reads as follows
<funcType>thisFunc</funcType>
In my .fla I have defined thisFunc along with a number of similar functions
I want to execute the function as follows
chosenFunc=Node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;//points to thisFunc in the .xml file
chosenFunc(); // This should execute as thisFunc ()
Problem is this doesn't seem to be working. Am I trying the impossible?
I'm trying to convert some C# code I have and one problem I can't find a solution for is to have a function take parameters of unknown types.
C# code:
PHP Code:
public T Maximum<T>(T v1, T v2){ return v1 > v2 != null ? v1 : v2;}
A straight translation to AS3 would look something like this, for making it easier to understand for people that might be confused by C# syntax.
[Code]...
This way you can send in anything as the parameters (notice the <T>), be different classes for example, depending on what situation you want to use it, instead of writing a lot of duplicate functions for every possible parameter type.
Is there a way to do this in AS3? Edit: Seems like I managed to find a solution right after I wrote this. Seems like one can use "*" as parameter type.
so I'm not just new here, but definitely new to actionscript (though I have a MINOR amount of OOP experience in matLAB). I was wondering if someone could clarify something (though I'm sure this thread will grow out of my own confusion)?

I'm getting an error and I have no idea why. Below is the code that's causing the problem.
'player1' is the instanced class and 'hero' is an instanced symbol within the class.
This is the error message:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Function to an unrelated type int.
This function is within a class.
Code:
public function get_R():int{
return hero.rotation;
}
This code is on my frame in the .fla file.
Code:
if(player1.get_R == 0){
......
}
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I have figured out the following: Well, as you see the function moveStuff accepts three arguments, namely:
objectdurationeasingWhen easing has a default value, I get an error. But if it doesn't have a default value, then it works fine, the code would look like so then:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var animTween:Tween;
[Code].....
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE,callMenu);
...
function callMenu(e:Event)
{
//game is paused and a menu is brought up.
}
if i also want to call the menu within another function which is not the same type of event, should i pass in null?
example: a switch statement finds the correct keyboard input has been pressed, is it bad to use callMenu(null);...it seemed to work, but feels wrong.
