ActionScript 3.0 :: Attaching A MovieClip Within A Custom Class
Jul 4, 2010
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 tried "attaching" a custom context menu on the 'picture' movieclip (empty movieclip that holds externally loaded pics) but with no luck.

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).

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?
[Code]...
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.

Basiclally a simple thing, however i dont get an idea on how to solve this one:
Say I have a sprite which is already existing during runtime and at some certain point I want to attach some custom data to it, say, in a string.
How would I do that?
s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s["extra"] = .... gives me an error, so i got exactly that far till here.
s.name is already reserved for another string and for sure I thought about just adding a TextField with the string inside to it, like
s.addChild(myStringTf);
But I know there is a better way, I just cant find it. hasOwnProperty() just returns a boolean true in case i match the value already assigned to it, right? Isn't there a way to attach an annonymouse object to it?

did anyone encounter this problem: i've extend a movieclip class, then i've created an instance and tween it. the movement was really jerky, compared to a similar movieclip loaded from the library.

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 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 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).

I am trying to replace a MovieClip with an instance of my custom class CustomMovieClip. What I want to do is make all references to MovieClip refer to CustomMovieClip, something like the following:
Code:
var _mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(_mc);
_cmc:CustomMovieClip = new CustomMovieClip();
replaceMc(_mc, _cmc);
trace(_mc); // I want it to output '[class CustomMovieClip]'
I want this to work so any variables that hold the MovieClip should refer the the CustomMovieClip after the replacement. Is this possible?

I would like to make a new instance of a MovieClip within my library from code written in my keyframe. I relise that you can do this by making a class and using the codeCode:var instancename:movieclipname = new movieclipname(); and with the MovieClips class I would need to extend MovieClip and nothing else. I am unsure if you put in the name of the MovieClip or the name of the MovieClip class in the code above so feel free to correct me. But instead of doing this can I just add a MovieClip to my stage with doing this

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.

I have a blank FLA. with document class index. I have an AS file name index saved in same folder. My custom package looks like this, but the movieClip does not display at runtime. I'm just trying to begin work with OOP and custom classes and I'm not sure why this isn't working for me:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class index extends MovieClip {
public function Main () {
var D:MovieClip = new dMC();
D.x = D.y = 100;
addChild(D);

tl;dr:Using MTASC, How can I take a MovieClip that exists on stage and interface with it through a custom class? I'm a UI/UX designer and interface engineer, and I've recently been trying to improve my development workflow. I've been trying to achieve the following workflow:Create the UI in Adobe IllustratorImport the UI into Adobe FlashSet up MovieClips to allow interactivity on the stageExport the finalized design as an .swfWrite code to interface with the various parts of the UIInject the code into the precompiled .swf using MTASCI can do all of the above, but I've been having problems when it comes to writing the code. I'd like to write object-oriented code as much as possible, but I can't seem to link my custom classes to anything that starts on the stage. How can I take a MovieClip that exists on stage and interface with it through a custom class using the MTASC?

I posted a question regarding how to make a ladybug move around the screen and I managed to make a class that loaded a ladybug png then using a timer moves the bug around the screen...
but I have a huge problem...this has been bugging me all day and cannot find a solution...
The ladybug moves around the screen but rotates towards the moving direction before moving. The problem is that the ladybug is rotating at 0,0 axis and not at the centre of the movieClip. Is there a way to offset the registration point so that the ladybug rotates centred?

I followed the example from a previous question and I am loading an external swf using a loader and inside the loader event handler I am trying to cast the loader.content as my custom class PanelReferenceClip which extends MovieClip
When I publish I receive a this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Just to make sure and test that the swf location was correct and the swf was actually being loaded, I changed the type of the content to as MovieClip and it worked fine.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that these swfs are being stored locally and not being pulled across the internet, multiple networks or servers.
I am not sure if I did something quirky in my class so I am providing the source to my custom class PanelReferenceClip
package com.components
{
import com.UI.DevicePanel;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have a custom class being constructed from my main class. In the custom class it has another custom class that is passed in as a parameter. I would like to strictly type the parameter variable but when I do, 'the type is not a compile type constant etc'.This, I understand, is because the custom class used as a parameter has not yet been constructed.It all works when I use the variable type ( * ) to type the parameter.I suspect this is a design flaw, in that I am using an incorrect design pattern.It is actually hand-me-down code, having received a large project from someone else who is not entirely familiar with oop concepts and design patterns.
I have considered using a dummy constructor for the parametered class in my main class but the passed in class also takes a custom class (itself with a parametered constructor). I am considering using ... (rest) so that the custom classes' parameters are optional.Is there any other way to control the order of construction of classes? Would the rest variables work?edit)in main.as within the constructor or another function
var parameter1:customclass2;
customclass1(parameter1);
in customclass1 constructor:

This is my first time working with a class attached to a movieclip that is nested inside a class attached to a movie clip.I've tested all the properties and methods of PTListItem.as and they work properly but when I try to call them on the list item through PTListTop.as it returns undefined.The end goal is to dynamically load a checklist via a txt file.
