Let's say you have the following situation:
1. Static var(an Array) stored in a class.
2. You create a variable reference to the static class in a separate class.
3. Splice some items from the reference variable in the separate class.
4. Trace the static class and the items have been removed from that too.
5. Verify several times.
6. Get confused.
7. Post on Kirupa.
I'm kind off oblivious as to what I'm doing wrong here... I have two classes: - Alley - AlleyCat
[Code]...
how bad is this practice? I am having trouble getting to some stuff so i am taking the easy way out
Code:
private static var _interrupted:Boolean;
public static function setInterrupted(value:Boolean):void{
_interrupted = value;
}
Ok, so I have a bit of a mess here (Which I'm probably not doing right anyway, which could be my problem...). I have a document class, I'll call it as Body.as, that creates an object from another class known as Headgear.as. There are also other objects created from other classes, or will be in the future. Now, amoung all this, Headgear.as and all of the other classes Body.as will use to make objects require the use of dragging functions (starting and stopping dragging). On stopping drags, position checks are then made to compare a particular hidden movieclip with the dragged MC.
To try and save myself some hassle (from making the same functions over and over to ensuring that when the objects are created I don't need to send a complete crapload of variables just to ensure the position checking function would work), I had the functions for the event listeners (Which are set-up on the draggable MCs in Headgear.as) just direct to functions in Body.as

If I created a static method. say I decide to call on other methods within that static method. Do those methods I call on need to be static as well? what If I used some of the properties. Not to store data permanently, but just within that process. Do those properties need to be static ??
View 3 RepliesYesterday I found myself wondering, what is the difference between either having a class with methods that are all static, or simply giving your class the static attribute?
View 9 RepliesAlright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.
maybe this is something small I'm overlooking, but I can't figure out how to pull this offI have an XML file that keeps data on my tilesheets. Currently it keeps info on the width and height of the tiles (works fine), but I also want to tell my program what part of ananimation it belongs to. I have a class set up that keeps some constants on the state of the object, that will decide it's animation. For example, if the state equals"PlatformState.WALKING", I alternate between tiles 1, 2 and 3, if the state is"PlatformState.FALLING", It alternates between 4 and 5.The static constant PlatformState.WALKING is a uint with value 0, FALLING has value 1, etc. But I don't want to put the rough values in the XML, but the constant names.
View 2 RepliesI have a static utility class that must have a reference to the stage, and I'm not sure what is the best option for me to get the stage inside my class...
I've thought of these options:Pass in as a parameter of the function Have a static variable I can set to the stage I don't like either of these because they are ugly.
What methods can you suggest for me to get a reference to the stage in my static class?
I am trying to set the value of some static vars but I need to reference the class with a string rather than a proper constructor. In AS3 I can do this with:
var ref:Class = getDefinitionByName(classDefinitionAsString) as Class;
ref[varNameAsString] = newValue;
I can't find an equivelant approach that will work in AS2 though. I have tried:
var ref:Object = new [classDefinitionAsString];
ref[varNameAsString] = newValue;
This seems to just create an Object and as the vars that I am trying to access are static I don't really want to be using 'new' I just want to reference the vars.
I'm setting up a class of public static vars that are to be BitmapData.
The problem I'm having is I can't seem to reference the vars dynamically in an array, making it impossible to give them values without some serious procdedural style coding.
This is what it looks like
package com.myPackage{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Should I assume it's because my array is a private var and placing references to public static vars is illegal? Is somebody gonna call the flash police on me?
Is it possible to reference a control in an application from a static function?
What I have is a Viewstack containing VBoxes stored in separate controls. Ex:
<mx:ViewStack id="content" width="100%" height="100%" resizeToContent="true">
<controls:Login/>
<controls:Dash/>
[Code]....
Once I get logged in on my login control, I would like to change the selected index of my ViewStack. From my outside controls, I cannot reference my ViewStack by name. I can reference a public static function from an outside control however I cannot refer to the ViewStack from within that function.
I have been away from actionscript for a long time and not 100% why this is happening, I will simplify the class below[code]...
call to a possibly undefined method through a refernce with a static type?
I'm trying to make methods available like so:
ActionScript Code:
MyClass.myFunc();
Instead of
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
myVar.myFunc();
I know that to do so I need to declare the functions/variables/constants as static:
ActionScript Code:
package MyPackage {
public class MyClass extends Object {
public static function myFunc():void {
} public function MyClass() {
[Code] .....
When I try to access the static function through the full reference (i.e trace(MyPackage.MyClass.myFunc);), it works, while trace(MyClass.myFunc); returns undefined. This contradicts what I've read in tutorials and posts on the Internet. They all use the short syntax, not the full path.
What I'm looking for is a way to reference the document class instance, to be able to access functions and variables that other classes need. I'm currently doing it with this little piece of code I found on some blog or forum.
Code: Select all// This is in the document class
private static var _instance:DocClass; // I have tried setting this to public and accessing it directly as well
public static function get instance():DocClass { return _instance; }
[code]....
This seems to work as it should in Flash CS4, but when I try to run the same code in CS5 I get the following error message:

Let's say I have a utility class that contains a static method. This method runs some math on the arguments passed to it, then returns an Array.
Example:
Code:
// within the utility class
public static function getPoints(num:Number):Array {
var ar:Array = [];

there is a script in a movieclip parent.tvc2.visible=false; I am trying to use these 2 line but the error comes up
1119: Access of possibly undefined property tvc2 through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
Basically I have 2 classes, A and B. B derives from A. Inside A, I declare a static variable/constant to the class of B. When I run the program, I get a null object reference error, with the line pointing to the class declaration of B, i.e.
Code:
public class B extends A
For reference, these are the 2 classes:
Code:
package
{
public class A
{
[code]...
Also, this error only occurs when the variable is static. If it's just a normal variable it works fine, i.e.
Code:
private var OTHER:Class = B;
If I change the static variable to point to a different class, it's also fine, i.e.
Code:
private static var OTHER:Class = Main;
I can probably work around this, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass. Anybody know what's causing it, or is this a Flash bug?

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.
