ActionScript 3.0 :: Associate Custom Class With MovieClip - Variable Scope
Oct 25, 2008
I'm not an experienced Actionscript user so I'm not sure what the normal way to associate a custom class with a movieclip that has been designed in the Flash IDE is. I made a class called Window to control a movieclip called TestWindow. There are some buttons in the movieclip whose
functionality I would like to assign the instance of class Window. How is this supposed to be done? Here's a representation of what I mean. I hope it is sort of clear. My actual problem is that the local variables are outside the scope of the onPress function but I also think there must be some other way of associating classes with movieclips that have been designed in the IDE.

Take a look at this code:
Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Test
{
[code]....
Well... Doesnt work at all... In the class, there isnt a instance of i, so, how may i access this property inside a class function? But i still have an way to access the class.
I could do this way:
Code:
class Test
{
function Test(mc:MovieClip)
{
[code]....
But this way, doesn't sounds good

I am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

I'm trying to create a class which will create a tween for several different instances of an object. I am creating the instances in the Document Class. The trick is, I would like to specify how long each tween will take.
Here's what I have so far:
DOCUMENT CLASS
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import mcCloud;
[Code].....
As you can see, I have a variable "myTime" which syncs the timer and the tween. This causes to tween to repeat and the clouds to continually scroll across the stage. How can I determine the var myTime at the time I create each instance of the Movie Clip mcCloud?

If I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,
fla1.fla has a document class of MyMainClass:
public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip
fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass:
public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.

If I can create dynamic variables on a MovieClip.. why would I not be able to create dynamic variables on a class that extends MovieClip?

I created from a mc symbol in the library. it works fine, except for adding the custom variable.. .. which I need to be able to do.

I'm trapping keyboard events on the stage and dispatching custom events through a framework (Mate, though I don't know that this is an important issue), but I'm pretty confused by the scope. The structure is:application (traps keyboard events and dispatches custom event mainPanel (receives dispatched events but mainCalendar (a child element) is null on debugging. Obviously if I try to call a public method on mainCalendar it errors out, even though it's a child of mainPanel. However, mainCalendar is NOT null IF I use FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.mainPanel.mainCalendar. Outerdocument and parentDocument do not expose mainCalendar either, BTW mainCalendar (a custom component inside mainPanel with public methods. Creation policy is 'all' and it's visible and exists long before I trap any keystrokes at the top level)Could someone take a minute and explain why the mainCalendar is out of scope when mainPanel receives a custom event, even though mainCalendar is a child of mainPanel. Is there a better way to manage the events so I don't have to always address the component via the topLevelApplication?

ActionScript Code:

What I would like that class do is to trace a variable that is on Main.as which is Document Class, after a sound completed playing.

I've been having trouble with scope in subclasses, where variables that I would like to be local to each instance of a class are instead global. For example:
Code:
class Prototype extends MovieClip {
//Various functions all clips have access to
}
class Ship extends Prototype {
[code]....
I've found that if I instantiate more than one ship, the hitboxes array is populated with clips from every instance of the class, instead of staying local to each instance as I'd like. Is this because I'm attaching them with a constructor?

I have a movieclip (instance name preload), inside of it, I have another movieclip (bar) ... what i'm trying to do is a preloader for external files... i have a custom class and i what to manipulate my movieclip preload from it... you know verify the progress of the load:
Inside my class a have this function
public function loadProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void { percent=e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal*100; rutaDos.preload.bar.scaleX=percent;
}
rutaDos is a reference to the stage... it works, I'm sure of it... the problem is:rutaDos.preload.bar.scaleX; I upload the files but it doesn't verify the progress of the load.

I am doing some experiments with custom classes, and I am trying to create a MovieClip from using only classes. I have my MovieClip in my library of the FLA with the same linkage as the custom Ufo class, I am just getting a little flabberghasted, and I hope laying out all the details helps anyone that wants to take a stab at it. The movieclip does not display on the stage when I start the program Note: All the files are contained in one project folder with no paths obviously (to avoid complications) The Following Class is the main class of my fla used to initiate the creation of a Ufo movieclip

I want to add a custom method so that any MC can use it like this - Code:text1.fadeIn(2) - which would fade text1 in over 2 seconds. The actual method isn't important, it's the way to add it as a custom method for ALL MCs that is confusing me.I can add it inside the document class (that extends MovieClip) like{/*fade in over tt seconds etc*/};But pretty much everywhere I look peoples are choking on their coffee shouting not to use that method. So is there a nice, clean way to do it without using prototype?BTW I want to add these methods in a class that is imported into the main document class at compile-time. So my main doc class has code specific to this SWF but the general external classes like Effects and Transitions are imported as needed.

I've got a custom class (using AS2) that mostly does things like set the score and level of a game, as well as sets the player's lives on the screen. I need to unload and attach MovieClips within the Lives control function, which require those methods from the MovieClip class. I don't think I need to extend this class from the MovieClip class, I think I need to import the class somehow. I don't know the path though..something like mx.MovieClip.

I'm trying to make a Class for a slideshow. I have a problem using the setInterval and clearInterval methods.See my code below. In the showPic function I have a conditional clearing the interval (repeating the showPic function). At least, it should do so, but it's not working. The interval continues. I'm using "this" so that's not the problem. Maybe it has to do with the scope of the variable to which I assigned the interval?

I'm working on a iPad game in Flash Pro CS5.5 and it was compiling correctly. Now I have marked a lot of MovieClip classes for Export for Actionscript so they use a custom MovieClip subclass as base class.
When publishing the movie I get a SWF without any actionscript in it (publishing takes also a lot less time then before). Now I have a suspicion this is because there seems to be a limit on the number of Export for Actionscript you can have?
The problem is that for iPad I can not split my .fla to create multiple swfs; since swfs that you load via the main document can not have any ActionScript in it (I tried already to put all the sounds in a seperate SWF with export for actionscript turned on, that didn't work).
