View 7 RepliesI've created a class that utilizes setInterval...I call it in a different class...and I can't get it to make the setInterval call. I'm thinking there's a scope problem but I don't see it.
Class w/ setInterval:
Code:
class Foo {
private var id:Number;
public function Foo() {[code]....
The function will get called but I need access to the class's instance variables inside display().
I searched the forum but could not find solution to my particular problem.Here is the scenario,I have a movieclip with two textfields in library.There is a tilelist component on stage to which data provider is assigned at runtime.After that movieclip inside each tile will get updated with related texts.But the thing is i'm not able to access movieclips inside tiles.
View 4 RepliesI have to admit I pretty much ran away from Flash when AS2 came along and only used it for animation purposes over the last 5 years.So I'm having a major crash course in AS3 in Flash CS3 and I'm not enjoying it one bit. I'm getting maybe 10mins of finished work per hour as I try to figure out the limits and rules of AS3. Quite often it seems that AS3 simply can't do what I want it to. Anyway: Characterchecks.as is the main class and it loads a bunch of XML into four arrays. The file starts like this:[code]If I trace the value of, say, cc._Categories from the main FLA, it's empty. I'm guessing that the next line of AS in the main FLA doesn't wait for the previously called function to complete? (This may tie in to my next problem)My next step is that I want to display various things based on the data in the array. I have another class, Display.as which will hold all the functions to create the items on display. I thought it would be best for these to be a separate object. I wonder if I'm right?
So I declare an instance of Characterchecks in the main FLA and call it cc, and then run the functions to populate the arrays... Now I create an instance of Display and call it cd. How can I get functions in cd to see the values of the variables in cc? And if the main timeline can't tell that the functions aren't finished filling the arrays, how is cd supposed to know?I might be asking dumb questions, or maybe I'm doing things ***-backwards, I don't know. I'd appreciate any help, I really would. This whole thing has me at the end of my tether... being the most technically advanced person in my circle of co-workers and web design friends means I have no-one to explain why things need to be done a certain way or what the best way is.
I am using a TileList control with an effect sequence linked to the itemsChangeEffect property.[code]...
However, my data provider is a ListCollectionView that I use to filter items. When I set a filter criteria, it will hide a couple of items from the TileList but there is no animation like when I remove an item. Is there a way to animate the TileList when an item is filtered ?
I have a tilelist component using a custom ImageCell based item renderer. I know that at times some of the images it is trying to retrieve will not be found and I am able to handle this via an IEOrror listener on the custom ImageCell loader.However, if I set the data provider, then it is changed before all images have completed their loading or error process, the flash debug player throws up an unhandled #2044 error in firefox stating that an image could not be found. In opera with the debug player it throws a #2044 stating that a load never completed.I can't find a way to trap and ignore these errors so they don't throw the debugger player dialogue up. Also, when using the Flash Builder IDE to debug, the debugger doesn't break on these errors at all - it's only in the player while I'm able to break on other errors without problem.It is as if the error listener is being disposed of when the dataprovider changes, but the loader continues and throws an unhandled #2044.

View 2 RepliesI currently pass a reference to my model through the constructor to any class that needs it in my simple mvc pattern, this can get annoying at times when it starts to go deeper.
How do Classes such as LoadMax allow you from anywhere to simple import the class, and do something like addChild(LoaderMax.getContent("bg"));? Replicating this should surely be a good way to have my model work, without the complexity of big frameworks?
for my current project I am starting to work with AS3 and I have written a ClipManager class where I can define an MC like "mainView" during initialization like this:
clipManager:ClipManager = new ClipManager(mainView);
With my clipManager I can now easily load stuff into the mainView etc. The problem is that I want every button throughout the whole thing to access Class Methods of this instance to alter the mainView

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to use compiled assets and code from a swc. Inside a new fla I select the swc to be included when exporting. When create the instance in the timeline of the code works and I can see assets that are inside the swc and trace a propertie from the same object. The problem is only when doing the same inside a movieclip, can't reach the assets (movieclip) but I can still trace properties from the class. I've uploaded the working files: master.fla is the one that creates the swc. template.fla is where I test the swc. files (This are cs4 .fla + .swc + .as)

I have a problem with the piece of code that's been annoying me for a week. It should be very simple but all my attempts at a solution somehow seem to get thwarted by an invisible hand that wants me to fail.Here is the scenario: I am trying to create an image strip consisting of image thumbnails. When one mousovers each image it should print its information (say a name) in a textfield.I created an image container class that loads the images through a url request, then an image strip class that receives an array with image names and urls and displays them in a row. So far so good.
However when it comes to showing the info I have no clue how to address which image is being pointed at. I put a variable called imageIndex inside my imageContainer object, then put all the created containers in imageStrip's for-loop inside an array called mgContainerArray. I created a for loop in my fla that goes through this array and assigns all those containers a mouseover event listener. What I'm stumped with is that there is no way I can access the imageIndex variable from my function to tell the code which image is currently being mouseovered. It keeps giving me an error.Here is the code:
Code:
for(var i:Number=0; i<myImageStrip.imgContainerArray.length;i++){
myImageStrip.imgContainerArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,

I have a class LoadXML which loads and extracts data from an XML file. I am using this data for my Main class by creating a new LoadXML class. I now want to use this data for my other classes but without having to create another new instance of LoadXML. Since global variables dont exist in A3, I tried creating get methods in LoadXML and then returning these values into variables in the desired classes.[code]

View 1 RepliesWhat I want to be able to do:
- click a guy to select him
- click an adjacent tile
- move selected guy to clicked tile
The way I've coded it, each instance of a guy class has a mouse even listener on him which listens for a click. When clicked, I find out the tile underneath him, and the surrounding tiles. So far, so good.
When clicked, the guy calls a method in the tile class, like tile.onClick, which tries to say: get this tile, and send it back to a method in the guy class, like moveGuy. Then moveGuy moves the guy to the tile it was told.
Problem:
From the guy class, I call a method in the tile class. To communicate between classes, the tile class method onClick must be static. But if it's static, the method can't refer to "this", because it's a method in the class only, not on each instance of tile. But I need to know which tile was clicked, and send that reference to the guy so he knows where to go.
How do you access a method from outside its class so that the method can refer to "this" instance? OR, how do I find out which tile was clicked without needing any code on each tile instance? OR... how else can this problem be solved?

Is this problem what getters & setters are for? I don't really understand how to use them yet.
What should I do to make a non static variable accessible to only instances of the same class?

Is there a way to get an instance reference to the document class to call a method of it from the stage's timeline?I see that here's a possible solution: using a singletonOther solution I though of is using stage.getChildAt( 0 ) but it's not very nice.Is there an 'official' instance reference? because the document class is obviously instantiated at startup, but is that instance accessible in any way without having to use a custom solution like the ones mentioned?
