ActionScript 3.0 :: ApplicationDomains - Create A New Instance Of The Class That Is Returned?
Feb 14, 2010
I'm working on a project right now in Flash Builder which is strictly AS3. I've written a bunch of code for various graphic assets that are being developed in the Flash IDE and compiled into a library swf. So, for example, I might have a drop down list Sprite which I layout in the flash IDE and then set its class to: [url].....With the library swf loaded into my project, if I need to create a new dropdown list I would say something like:
Code:
load.getDefinition(classes[name]) as Class
and then create a new instance of the class that is returned. I decided to try saying 'new DropDown()' instead of pulling the class definition from the loader, and I got a new DropDown. I figure this is because the DropDown library asset is now in the ApplicationDomain and Flash Builder knows that when I say 'new DropDown()' I'm saying [url]....' and it can find that class file. However if my library asset just had a class of 'Widget' and no path back to an .as file it would throw an error. Am I correct in this statement?

I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

I am trying to pass a variable to a method in one of my Classes so I can use it to create the correct movieClip (image).
My Class code looks like this:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class SlideShow extends MovieClip{
public function SlideShow() {

I am getting the following error:
SlideShow.as, Line 30

I am writing a code where I am trying to create a sprite variable in one class, and create several new instances of that sprite variable in another that all need to be on the stage at the same time. For example I created a variable like this, var ball:Sprite = new Sprite(), then drew the sprite in the same class that that variable was created in, then using encapsulation (i.e. _myNewInstance:AddNewInstance = new AddNewInstance(ball)) I am trying to reference that variable and create several new instances of it in the "AddNewInstanceClass" through for loops.

There's another thing I don't fully understand in ActionScript 3 yet...
Let's say I have a class that takes care of certain things (KeyPress events, to be specific). But when I want to access the functions inside this class, do I have to create a new instance of it?[code]....

I want to create a class where when you mouse click on an instance of it, all other instances are notified about this click.
I want this functionality to be inside the class so there wll be no need to write any code outside the class definition, like assigning listeners to all instances and such.I wrote the following code but the event I dispatch doesn't get catched.
package sample{ import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.Event; public class labels extends MovieClip { var dispatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher(); public function labels() { this.buttonMode = true;

Is it possible to create an instance of a class without triggering the class' constructor?[code]In the case above, say I wanted to play around with a Foo instance, but I really don't want my global.foobarCount going up, nor do i want to pass in any value at all for bar.This could be useful for introspection where you want to learn more about or pass a particular class object but don't want to provide required arguments or trigger anything that the constructor may do.Is this at all possible? (Obviously, new Foo() just doesn't cut it here, since it would throw and arguments error, nor does just using Foo, since that's a reference to the class itself).

This is my first crack at writing a class and after reading up this is what I have. Essentially, I want to be able to write var txt:adamsboxmaker = new adamsboxmaker(parameters); and have txt be a display object from the returned MovieClip. But that's not happening.

I have four movieclips on the stage. They can be dragged around. I have a class that creates a segment from two points, and returns the x-intercept, y-intercept, slope, and inverse slope of a linear function going through the two points.On every enterFrame() i create one segment for each pair of points, then the information is displayed in a bunch of dynamic text boxes.
The Problem: whichever object is sent over last overwrites the data from the first. I am creating two different objects with different names, but the first is being overwritten by the second. What is going wrong here?
FLA included. But you will need to make this class file:
Seg.as:
Code:
import flash.geom.Point;
class Seg {
// variables
private var p1:Point;

I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.

I 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'm creating a little game - The player controls a character that follows the mouse. Pigs run away from the player, and the player has to get them all into a pen. To make the game a little more difficult I'm trying to add an enemy - wolves, that attempt to perform a 'hunt' method every x seconds. This method sends a reference of the wolf instance to Main (my document class) and Main then loops through the pigs on stage to see if there's any nearby. Now as far as I know this works - my problem is I'm unsure how to send the pig instance reference back to the wolf that called the hunt method, so it can then 'target' the pig, and then attempt to pounce on it.
This is my Wolf class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

I am developing with Flex + java + hibernate in one project. I am trying to add one more advanceddatagridcolumn in flex AdavanedDataGrid control. Actually it work very well but only except I added columns data. I have no idea what should I do to make it out I am telling work flow. At first call select method in DeliveryService.class through the RemoteObject and then call DeliveryMgr.class for call business work. After get return list type return value it pass to presentation class to setting all of the selected return value. I can print trace log what I added columns data in DeliveryPt.class but it cannot return to flex area.Strange thing is I can check out value of what I want to show data in DeliveryPt.class but it does not show up in AdvanedDataGridColumn of Flex.

This is a follow-up to another thread that is getting wordy and unfocused:
[URL]
I am trying to load an external library .swf to use its embedded fonts, much like this method:
[URL]
However, the swf that is loading the font swf is loaded within a wrapper swf, and is defined as a separate ApplicationDomain as the wrapper.
Wrapper swf (app domain 1) <--- Player swf (app domain 2) <--- font library swf
The font is loading fine, and I'm even able to retrieve the font name (so I'm able to reference the object), but it is *not* showing up in the textfield as it should be.
When I remove the ApplicationDomain issue between wrapper and player swf by testing the player swf locally in the IDE (*not* loaded through the wrapper), it works fine. But I'm not sure how or why this is, because like I said, I'm able to get the font name so I'm able to reference it, it seems.
The TextField is being set to embedFonts, the font is loading, everything else seems to be working 100%, but there's some issue between the application domains that I just *can't* figure out.

Quick question. I have been Googling this all morning, but it's either not there, or else written in a way that doesn't register. I am inclined to believe the latter, as this seems like it should be something completely trivial to me. I made a small Flash file using AS 3.0, and this is the first time I've really been able to stick to the OOP way of doing things and not hack together a mix of stuff from the timeline to get around not having everything work in the classes.
So I'd like to keep it that way, but one thing is eluding me: I can't call a method of an instance of another class (than the one I'm calling from) without resorting to "DocumentClass(root).instanceName.method." Intuition tells me there has to be a better way of doing this (like, without having to reference the document class every time I call another class instance's function; and CERTAINLY without having to use the word "root" - that just seems so Flash 5 to me. Does anybody have a better way of doing this that they can share?

I'm new to Flash AS3. I started making a game and I am a bit confused. Let's assume that I want to create a game that has multiple levels/modes, how can I do this in an object orientated way?
When i create games in other languages e.g. XNA C#, i create a separate class then create an object of that class within the main class and run the game based on a simple statement.
