ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Parameters Instance And Library Item In Function?
Mar 4, 2009
Basically looking for a way to get the instance created when I use this function I've made, it seems to me "libItem" will be a new instance and I would like to re-assign that back to the item passed into the function so I can access the instance later.
Here is the function I created to create library on the stage...
Code:
function objectPlacer( libItem, instance:Class ):void {
libItem = new instance( );
addChild( libItem );
}
So here is how I call the function
Code:
// Function( var name, library item class name, pos x, pos y )
objectPlacer( i_ranks, txt_Ranking );
My problem is, I try to access "i_ranks" later with the following code...
Code:
i_ranks.x = 100;
And I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
"i_ranks" is defined as a class member.
Also, if you know - what should types should I be assigning the parameters instance and libItem in the function?

When assigning a function to onEnterFrame, for ex. onEnterFrame = someFunction, you do not include the brackets or the script will not run properly. my question is then, how can you assign a function to onEnterFrame while specifying parameters for that function? I tried onEnterFrame = someFunction(param1), but the function will only execute once.

here is just a general question about the use of classes in flash. Say I have a class called ClassA that wants two parameters passed in. So i create an instance of it and add it to the stage with code like this: var myInstance:Class = new ClassA("something", somethingelse"); addChild(myInstance);That works all well and good! Now, is there a way i could manually place an instance of ClassA from the library palette and tell it the two parameters?

How would I write a procedure that would build this array such that I could choose as many parameter names such as KBP? I wanted?

{Impact:"B", KBP1:0, KBP2:0, KBP3:0, KBP4:0 },

I was wondering if it's possible to assign seperate MC's the same instance name. Say, like, 'boundary' so I can have various boundaries and not have to worry about it.I could use a for loop and name each boundary something like bounds1, bounds2, bounds3 etc. but I'm wondering if there is an even easier way.

I have a 4x4 set of square buttons that I need to give instance names to. They will be named 'btn_1' thru 'btn_16'. Is there any shortcut to assigning the names or do I have to go through 16 times clicking on the button and clicking down to the 'instance name' text box?

I've created a card class that holds the specifics properties each card can have. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to associate the graphic with the card. What I have now is a movieclip with each frame representing a different card. The movieclip is linked to the card class I created.I'm trying to do it with variations of this.gotoAndStop(frame#) in the constructor of my card class, which gives me a card graphic but not having much luck in gettng the frame number to increment to the next frame with the next call for: var cardname:cardclass = new cardclass.The worse part of this is I'm not even sure I'm on the right track here, so my main question is: Is this even a viable way to accomplish this? If not, please give an overview outline of how I should be approaching this.

I'm pretty sure there is a simple solution to this problem and I'm going to feel really dumb for not figuring it out myself but for some reason I am stuck so here goes. I have several movie clip "buttons". I would like, on release, to load a dynamic text file into a container clip on the stage. Pretty simple right? Here is the code I am using:

So I know you can assign a base class to a library definition within the Movieclips library information field but If I have 30 items in the library and I change the Base class this becomes a pain in the ass, can this be done programmatically when I instantiate the library definition?
var new_shiz:MyItem1 = new MyItem1(); // Needs to have a generic base class of MyItem

I have an all flash website I am finishing. On the "index" page of it, there are 7 buttons all pointing to different painting galleries on another page (or another MC in this case).
These 7 buttons happen to be movieclips so that I can have animation on rollover and rollout. A sample of the current AS2 code for them is below:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
[Code]....
In this case, on the index page there is a movieclip with successful animation on rollover/rollout. I assign this clip the instance name of "gallery0" and when clicked, goes to a separate page showing the first gallery.
My problem is this, whenever I do assigned the instance name to any of the 7 movieclips, the animation no longer works. It simply sits there in the default state and acts as it should as far as navigation goes.

Is it possible to add a textField dynamically but have different instance name each time this is created? In other words if I have a button that whenever its click it will add a textField to the stage and assigns a new instance each time this is added.
ActionScript Code:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField);
var inputWidth = 200;
var inputHeight = 20;
function addField(event:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
Something like this but instead of textFieldName this would be different each time.

I have a small issue with instantiation of an xml loader class. I'm using a standard way of loading external data and assigning it to "myXML" variable. My class uses event.COMPLETE for loader to make sure that data is fully loaded. Everything works fine until I make an instance of this variable in to my Main() class. The trace of "myXML" gives me null. It's like it didn't assign data on time. Since the onComplete event handler should take care of any delays it is hard for me to figure this out.

I want to get my movieclip "dial_graphcis_mph" to start at X position 0, move to X position -292.35,move back to X position -220, and then yoyo between -230 and -220.Is it possible to do this without using the TweenTimeline class or similar?I want to keep all the code on the stage with the movieclip if possible...The following code only yoyos between 0 and -292.35.
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var tweenMPH = new Tween(dial_graphics_mph, "x", Strong.easeInOut, 0, -292.35, 6, true);

First a little background: I'm looking for a way to create a "collection" library that abstracts the Flash Player version based implementation (Vector on FP10, Array on FP9) away from the calling code. I've already written a small AS3 lib doing that but.the performance is bad (especially because of two levels of indirection and the runtime type checks on the Array implementation)the code is ugly (since Vector types need to be defined at compiletime I needed a factory returning concrete Vector instances based on an Enum that contains only the supported types)
I'm currently looking into haXe as a possible solution since it supports type parameters and is able to compile to various Flash Player versions (and apparently compiles into mmore optimized bytecode).Now, my question is: Is there a way to write a library in haXe that can be used like this in AS3 code

I've been quite frustrated over a very simple flash program I have, where I try to use code to add an item from the library to the stage. I've attached the .fla file. The errors I'm getting are: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: playerShip. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method playerShip.

I'm having some trouble passing parameters with a function that is itself being passed as a parameter.In my application code I'm instancing that class five times:they are buttons in a menu.In that class, I've got an onRelease handler that does a number of things when a button is released, one of which is to invoke a function that is defined in the application level of the code.My problem is that I don't know how to send the function parameters.In my StandardButton class I have:
class StandardButton extends MovieClip
{
/* define properties */[code]..........
The function is successfully being "sent" to the StandardButton class, but without any parameters.How can I send parameters to the class instance with the way I've got this architected.
