ActionScript 3.0 :: Acess A Variable In A Class Through Main Fla?
Dec 1, 2011
I am trying to make the life of the bars in my brick breaker game increase as i pass a level, and through that i'm using a variable that has their amount of hits that they can withstand from the ball. The variable is in my class. The thing is that when i put the variable in my main fla. (which is the only other option that i have) only 1 brick gets destryoed, the other ones are invincible. I don't get why this happens, but either way
How do I listen from the main class to a sub class for a variable change?
package { import flash.events.* public class DataBase extends MovieClip {
[Code].....
This is what I have so far for the sub class but I can't seem to figure out how to listen to this variable change from Main() or even if I am dispatching the event properly.
I have a document with main class.I also have some movieclips which have their own class and functions.I am trying to pass a variable from my main class to one of these MovieClips.I tried some stuff, nothing worked.
I have a class, the relevant parts of which are defined as follows:
class myClass extends MovieClip { public function myfunc() { trace( "mainVar: " + _root.mainVar ); } }
As you can see, I want to access the variable "mainVar", which exists in the main movie, from within the class. This works fine, if I have only one instance of the class. But, if I have more than one instance, within separate movie clips, the value of mainVar is always taken from the first instance. How do I refer to the actual instance from within the class?
Basically the class waits for the callback variable (my_msg). The problem is: I need to set the dynamic textbox text to my_msg variable.
How can I access it? I know I can access a public var in the timeline with functioname.variable but I can't define a public var inside a function, right?
I'm was getting good with as2 but recently made the mind switch from, I'll learn as3 tomorrow to as3 is awesome. The problem for me is that I don't understand the scope for classes. I know I can trace a variable on the main time line when the var is declared in the class. But how do you access a main time line var from a class? Here's an example - main time line Monkey.fla
Code: var cagedMonkies:int = 10; var monkeyTransport:MovieClip = new CarTrunk();
in the timeline I have a dynamic text box named my_textbox: var my_test:main = new main(); my_test.check_DVBViewer(); my_textbox.text = ??Basically the class waits for the callback variable (my_msg). The problem is: I need to set the dynamic textbox text to my_msg variable. How can I access it? I know I can access a public var in the timeline with functioname.variable but I can't define a public var inside a function, right?
I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?
how to get a Class file up and going in Flash and that works fine but say I want to import other classes. I try "import testCass" above in my import statements section of my as file and that doesn't work. What do I have to do to get that to work?
I'm trying to acess myLoader located on a timeline above the navBar mc where my function is located and for some reason I am not able to acces the loader. The trace show that th button hears the addEventListener and the evt.target.name is working properly. I get the following compile error:1119: Access of possibly undefined property myLoader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.
I am loading a swf file into a flash application. I want to access some movieclips in the externally loadd swf from my main aplication. How can I do this?
I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.
I need to determine when the first swf has finished to load the second and so goes on but I couldnt find a way to even trace de current frame in the timeline of my external swf.How can i determine the current frame in the timeline of a external swf?even with a enter frame event to check the current frame has not workedIve even build up a class to give the parameters to the main SWF but has not worked.I need to compare the current frame with the total frame and when got the last frame, and the end of the animation, unload this first movie and load the second.
I have two classes. The Main class calls a function, which is defined in a Second class.I'm getting the following error:Error 1120: Access of undefined property myFunctionBasically, I am creating buttons in the Main class that will add a corresponding Child to an Object in the Second class (if you click one button, child x1 will be added, if you click another button, child x2 will be added, and so forth).Here's the relevant code for the Main.as file:
I have question regarding removing instantiated objects. Let's say i have a main class in which i instantiate a custom video player (or whatever) class:
Code: ... var videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer(...); addChild(videoPlayer); ...
And inside VideoPlayer class i have of course dozens of objects (movie clips, sprites representing different parts of VideoPlayer) and dozens of event listeners attached to them. My question is, if i want to remove this VideoPlayer class from my main class is it enough to just do:
I have a initApp.as which instantiates a class which needs to access the "currentState" property and the States array as well. However we cannot get this to work as we cannot see how we can access this information.
Within initApp.as currentState is accessed via "this.currentState". This does not work in the class which is instatiated within initApp.as. The following error is thrown:

[Code]...
From my experience, if i don't destroy for example event listeners from my VideoPlayer class and just remove VideoPlayer class the way described they still get fired with null exception messages etc. This is something that's bugging me for a while so i would really like to know what's best thing to do here?
I have a main class which listens for an event dispatched from another class say class A. Also there are other classes say class B, class C etc.There is a controller class.Classes B, C dispatches events that gets listened by the controller and works well.But the events dispatched by the Class A doesn't get listened by the main class.What might be the problem. Detailed Explanation of the problem.There is a main mxml file.
Class files are in: ProcessInput.as DBController.as ShortMemDB.as ....etc
The main mxml file gets the input from a textArea. Sends the input to the capturedInput (input:String) function using set method which is in the ProcessInput Class.Now I need to dispatch events NORMAL, COMMAND depending on the input obtained after the processing, where I'm having problems. The reason is that if the event NORMAL is dispatched a particular function inside the DBController is to be called. If COMMAND event is dispatched then I need to call another function. This idea doesn't work since the events doesn't get listened.But the events dispatched by the CSDB class when listened by the DBController works well.
I'm trying to load a RSL library into a flash animation developed with Flash CS5 IDE, that extends a custom class and implements an interface. I have reduced the problem to the simplest setup and find that I can have my main class extend another class or implement an interface, but not do both at the same time if I want to load an RSL.I have a very simple class to extend:
import flash.display.Sprite; public class MySprite extends Sprite {[ code]...........
but if I want both I get the VerifyError: Error #1014 with MySprite not found and ReferenceError: Error #1065.
I'm not sure that I'm on the right track here. I've got what is essentially a 'gateway' movieclip and depending on the CLICK a corresponding movieclip (form) is loaded -- these all being in their own AS file. There are multiple corresponding pages that will all load/close in their own fashion but the 'gateway' will reload in it's own function-- consequently, I have this function on the main_AS. Can I trigger this function from the sub class or do I need to move the 'reload' function to a 'reload' class.
I am refactoring a hugh action script solution in Flash builder (beta 2) using the flex 4 sdk.The project does NOT use the mx framework.What i want to have is:
A big 'MAIN' project several small 'MODULE' projects. each 'MODULE' class refrences the 'MAIN' project as an External reference (doesnt compile into swf) - this is done by setting link type = external in the 'MODULE' project properties -> library path.'MAIN' loads a 'MODULE' project on runtime using the 'loader' class.
the problem:I recieve an error from the MODULE project: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class [some class in MAIN] could not be found.
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite; listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp); addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent; ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
Iīm making a game and now I wonder if itīs good practice to have a class named Main for my game. I was thinking about to have a Preloader, Console and Game classes. Now I donīt know anymore. Maybe itīs better to have a Main class that loads including a preloader, which loads Console wich loads Game.
Thatīs the better way to making a game application? Iīm talking about best practices.
why if yes there has to be a Main class that extends Sprite?
i want to add to stage a movieclip in another class not the .as file as the same name of .fla file how can i get this.When i run same code in main.as i get the result but in another class it runs but no result.
I have a problem with classes. What I am trying to do is this: I create a main class and then i import another class into it.then I create an instance of the new class and add it to the stage.the problem occurs when im trying to use the new classes methods.
import classes.NewClass; var test:NewClass = new NewClass(); addChild(test);[code].....
