ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Xml Date From Subclass?
Feb 8, 2012
I am building a app that pulls data from xml. The different nodes in the xml needs to build different objects. My thinking was that I must import the xml only once. Then build seperate classes for each object type. These classes will extends the xml class and apply whatever it needs to do with specific nodes data. Problem is that it seems like the subclass is created before the xml loaded. I can trace the xml data from the xml superclass but not from the subclass.
Main Class
Actionscript Code:
package MyClasses{ import flash.display.Sprite; import MyClasses.Dateline; public class Main extends Spriteprivate var dateLine; public function Main() dateLine==new(Dateline);}}

In my flash document, I have a movieclip drawn on the flash stage (put there myself, not dynamically). I want to use this as a holder for an external .swf. I am using a sub-class to run the loading script. I pass the stage reference to it as the variable "theStage". It has no trouble loading things directly to the stage, but it can't find my movieclip for some reason. I have exported the movieclip for actionscript in the symbol properties panel and have given it an instance name.I've tried theStage.myMovieClip.addChild(mySwf); and suchlike, but always get this error message in output:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property myMovieClip not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value.at MethodInfo-206()Some more information: It works from the main class without any trouble.

So, how would you create a class that can access a variable in the class where the subClass was created(superclass), I realise this might be unclear so in example
PHP Code:
package {import flash.display.MovieClip;public class Main extends MovieClip {public va demoString:Strin = "TEST";public static var newClass:SubClass;public function

I'm using a preloader to load an external SWF then initiating it through its document class using this code:
Code:
private function loaderCompleteListener(event : Event) : void {
var loaderInfo : LoaderInfo = event.target as LoaderInfo ;
[Code]....
The problem i'm getting is that the Flash that is being loaded has a lot of classes exporting on the first frame, which now cannot be accessed, and therefore I get "The definition of base class cannot be found" errors.
How do I ger the items in the library that export to AS accessible by the parent loading SWF.

I've been working with/around and dodging a situation where I'm trying to access FLA library movieclip assets, but NOT from the document class. I capitalize this because this is my 4th forum posting. I know the answer to that one:
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
The easiest solution for accessing library items from a SubClass looks to be this:
// at topimport TestLocalMC;// in constructorvar box:TestLocalMC = new TestLocalMC();addChild(box);
However, it doesn't show up. I tried a fake non-existent class. It gave me an error so I know it's referencing a Class in the library that I supplied. If I trace the object, it shows up. If I trace the X value, it says 0. So logically, it should be right in front of me..but it's not there! .Am I on the right track? Is this familiar at all to anybody? Is there something I'm missing?
if I could reference FLA library items with a bit of freedom from the document class. Having to go up the hierarchical class tree everytime to retrieve a movieclip is getting rather painful.

I am hoping someone can explain about subclasses accessing variables from the super class. I found that the subclass can only access variables which are set in the constructor of the super class. Is there any way around this?

I am writing a program in OOP and I have a custom subclass which I make a new instance of in the document class. When I do make a new instance of this custom class, I want this (the custom subclass is a movieclip) object to be positioned at the center of the stage. However, when I try
ActionScript Code:
this.x = (this.parent.width-this.width)/2;
flash outputs an error saying '1119: Access of possibly undefined property parent through a reference with static type'
How do I access the parent property?

how to access library items in the main SWF directly from a SubClass by doing this:
package{ import SubClass; public class Main extends MovieClip{public var mySubClass:SubClass = new SubClass;this.addChild(mySubClass); }//class }//package
package{ import Box; public class SubClass extends MovieClip { public function SubClass():void{var train:Box = new Box;this.addChild(box);}//SubClass constructor function }//class }//package
But how do I access library items of a loaded SWF in the same fashion? Importing is different from loading and I'm not sure how or where to piece instances together at runtime.

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.

error When your accessing a method or property from a subclass. Here's what I have done so far but no luck in my script.
1. I tried waiting for my attached movieclip to be added to my stage using the setTimeout method but no luck.
var timedProcess:Number = setTimeout(initRevealDropDown, 1000);
private function initRevealDropDown():void
{
clearTimeout(timedProcess);
var myInterface:Interface = new Interface();
myInterface.revealDropDown();
}
2. I also tried extending my subclass to interface where my instance method is defined for revealing my dropdown menu, no luck on that one.

Do you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.
For example i want to know a given day (11-12-2009) is among the start and end date of a given range (11-01-2009 to 11-20-2009).

I have a XML file with a few concert dates. In my flash/AS3 file, I would like to show only the up coming event, relative to current date. Like this:
Event 01: 30-05-2010
Event 02: 02-06-2010
Event 03: 05-06-2010
Today is 28-05-2010, so I need to list Event 01. On 01-06-2010 I need to list Event 02. I have the basic AS3 code for listing the XML working, but I'm having trouble filtering the result.

I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.

Does anyone know how to get actionscript to render a null date value '000:00:00T00:00:00'? I am calling a web service that expects date fields in the SOAP xml. I need some of these dates to serialize as null and I can't see how to produce null. The closest value I can get is '1899-11-30T00:00:00Z'. Below is the code I am using:

I'm trying to determine the difference in time between todays date and a future date. I only need to determine how many months and days it is between todays date and this future date. Anyone know of any prebaked scripts anywhere for determining what todays date is and subtracting it from the end date would be? [code]So if today's date is less then the end date I'd like to determine how many months and days are left until the end date is reached and display the number of months and days until that end date.

I have an mx:DateField in my Flex UI that has a formatString="dd.mm.yyyy" attached to it. However, the initial value for that field may not be in the format specified/defined for the DateField (due to legacy reasons). So, currently, if I just set that value (text) on the DateField, the field is shown empty. I think because it fails to accept the value in a format different than what's configured.

[URL] how to make a date countdown. I now want to take it a bit further. On my site I have three gears that just continuously turn; now what I want to do is that over a period of time, these symbols change. Like say every 2 hours the symbols change to a different colour or something, and at pacific dates more gears will appear.

I have a situation where I have a date in this format.
Code:
var currentDate : String = "09/22/09"
and I want to be able to change this dynamically to the next date.like you had currentDate +1. The reason for this is the user selects this date but I want another field to display the next date after this.I thought about using the date object to take care of this for me but I'm not sure that will work.If I pass the date object this format it returns.
newDate = Wed Sep 22 00:00:00 GMT-0500 1909
I could start stripping out the currentDate and adding in lots of if statements for the month year and date and figuring out leap years but I thought the date object could solve all this.
