ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Class's Static Functions From A Variable Of Type Class?
Feb 19, 2010
I realize this is kind of an odd issue, but I am wondering if there's any way to get Flash to allow me to access a class's static functions using a class variable that points to the class. Example:I create a class called FooClass that has a static function named fooI then create a variable of type Class that points to it
Code:
var class:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("FooClass"));
However, when I try to call foo() using the variable, it errors saying the function

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with if there is a big difference in performance in ActionScript 3 between keeping a class with only public static functions, and utilizing those functions often (as in a frame event at 30fps), and in turning the class into a "normal" class of which I instead make an instance and call the functions via the instance instead.

I've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me.[code]

To rephrase my question: if you have a class with a bunch of static methods and you use one of them in your code, does the whole class get compiled with your movie? I suspect that it would be and, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better (from a file-size perspective) to use packaged functions instead?

Say I have a class called Ball (movieclip) and I create a number of instances of it. There is a static variable, say, ballArray and need to access that from a different class, say, Bat. How do I go through with it? Can I access that using the class name itself (Ball.ballArray like in Java)?

I'm working on a small networked game (server is written in C# ready to go). I've completed all of the networking classes utilizing xmlsockets (socket handling, packets etc). My issue is once you get to the login screen and attempt to authorize a packet is sent depending if your login has been accepted so if it has you delete the login movieclip and show the game movieclip but I can't access it from my static class (it was created on the main stage).

I'm trying access a static variable located of a super class through an instance of one of it's subclasses and I'm receiving an access of undefined property error (example of which below). Creating another static variable in the subclass and assigning the value from the super class will allow me to dot operate to it.

I've made two custom classes ("banana" and "box"). As I start my application I create two new objects from these classes - first I create a banana object and then a box object. The banana class/object has a property/variable ("weight") that I set with information from an external XML file, thus it takes a while for it to receive a value.
My problem is that my box object needs to access the "weight" property of the banana project, just after the box object has been created. The problem is that the banana object hasn't finished initialising when I make the request from the box object...
Is there a way of either check the status of another class (initialisation status that is), or is there another way of preventing the box object to either be created before the banana object is initialised?

Short description of my project:I'm making a "flash-car-damage-registration-program" where a user can click on a part of a car, make two choices (from two comboboxes) that describes the damage, and then save it in a datagrid withing flash.I have split up the code in different class files:I have a damage.as class file that describes the damage and its properties.I have a carPart.as class file that extends the Movieclip class. This sets all the propertiesof each carpart and where the roll-over/out eventlisteners are, pluss som escriptive text to each carpart. This works the way I want it to. This is just to quickly give you an idea of what I'm working on.So to the real question or problem: I have a LoadMyXmlData.as class file where I load some xml data, this works fine. A function in this class takes a combobox and a xmllist as parameters.
I want to populate the mentioned comboboxes from the xml data. Both comboboxes are on the stage within another movieclip, but I can seem to access them. (yes, they have instancenames etc) I get error 1120: 'Access of undefined property'. I have tried ways like: containingMc.comboboxMc' and so forth but no luck. I have been searching the web for days for a solution to my problem, but nothing so far.

Error: Access of undefined method getStatus through reference with a static type Class.
Here's what's happening in the code. I'm trying to create a User class that is instantiated at the start of my app. I want the User class to have properties like mainStatus, with helper methods like setStatus etc. Pretty simple.
so on my HardDisk I have my flash_working folder with all my flash projects. I created my class file/package under the directory com.mypackage

That's all the code I have.
If I try to access the public var mainStatus through user.mainStatus that gives a similar error saying:

The error is 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setResult through a reference with static type Class.

I'm trying to make my own picture browser for my webpage, and have run into a problem I can't solve. My guess is that this is kinda a newbie-problem, but anyway here I go...
I have made a class (as an extention to MovieClip) in a seperate file where I can load a picture and later resize it into a thumbnail. I have no problem showing them, but when I tried to make a MouseEvent for clicking onto the shown thumbnail and then tries to access the instance the event sends me, I get :
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@22c30791 to ThumbNail.
at PicBrowser_fla::MainTimeline/clickedOnThumbNail()
I don't understand why it complains on 'Loader'!?And what is the best way to access the instance of the 'ThumbNail' in the MouseEvent?
The .as file looks something like this :
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

I have the actionscript code here for a bubble popping game. When the game starts, bubbles fall down from the top of the game to the bottom and score is kept for the most bubbles clicked or popped in 30 seconds.The size of the bubble is defined by the initialize method in the code, and uses ToString() to calculate the score. ToString gives me a 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method Random through a reference with static type uint. This error which I cannot figure out where it comes from.[code]

Seems like the class loads before the myFunctions.as file so the functions are unavailable at this time. I get that error message :

I've been using Adobe Flash CS4 for a couple of days. I've drawn a worm, with eyes and a mouth and these pieces are all MovieClip symbols. I have exported them to actionscript with the class name being the same as what they are (ie. the mouth MovieClip is exported as mouth). The mouth has 2 frames, one smiling and one frowning. I need to mouth to stay smiling at first, so in Frame 1 actions I wrote:
