I have a Actionscript base class already created but when i type in the location for it i get back the file cant be found error.This is the url for my code

Now i have tried it without the as3 format but it just seem to find this file.
I'm using FlashDevelop4.0.0 RC1 to create AS3 library project, in which I want to import Away3D library. I follow this tutorial to set up my FD. [URL]
However, FD generate error message when I use ExportSWC4.2 plugin to compile the project, I got error message said that

View 3 RepliesI am a complete nuff nuff when it comes to AS3 so bare with me. I had a website skeleton made by a scripter. He made lots of AS files that call to each other with a few movie clips that are populated via the As files. This worked fine for me, I could update the text and image files no dramas and did so and got the website up and running.
A couple of weeks later had to update the files to add a new section adn text and images. Again all went swimmingly. Fast forward to today. Went to update the files and added a new section as per all the other ones. Everything marries up in relation to naming conventions, placement of files within folders et c but suddenly now I'm getting all these errors. 1017: The definition of base class TextItemTemplate was not found.
already searched for this kind of thread here but didn't get any answer that suited me.
It comes like this, I made this class (LoadWebPage)to basically remove the old Swf and load a new one. I've associated this class to my menu Btn's.

And I'm getting that 1203 error saying that my class doesn't have a default constructor.
I've been trying to edit my sister's Flash website, which was developed by someone else, but I'm a newbie with ActionScript so am having a few difficulties. Every time I try to publish a file, I get this error:
1017: The definition of base class UIForm was not found.
I found documentation online for a similar error - regarding UIComponent - so I tried creating a new source path under ActionScript 3.0 as suggested but no luck. I'm having difficulty finding documentation online specifically for UIForm.I tried searching for the location of UIForm under program files but couldn't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm on CS4.
I have this base class
package sevengames.miranda.front.res {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code].....
I then, in the Flash document, create a movie clip which has this class set as the "Base class" in the properties. However, if I then do this.updateText(); in the movie clip's frame script, it complains
TypeError: Error #1006: updateText is not a function.

Why doesn't it work? I know the class is read and compiled, because I had an error there which was reported.
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 have a holder movieclip, its base class is foo.[code]I put a trace in the constructor of bar so I can tell if it's being loaded properly, and when I drag out foo onto the scene and run the clip, all the little bars within it fire off correctly. However, when I add it to the scene dynamically, such as like this in the Main class:[code]Suddenly, all the little bar movieclips within foo revert to regular old movieclips and don't fire. What's interesting is if you typecast one them as Bar at some point, and their normal class is set to Bar (within the movieclip itself, rather than base class), it works and the constructors all fire, like this:[code]However, if you want multiple different types of Bar clips, and give each a base class of Bar, this won't work. They all spawn as generic movieclips. It DOES work if you go through and typecast them as either Bar1 or Bar2, but that means in practice you would have to try to typecast every child as every top-level object type every time you added the clip to the stage. You also can't have a bunch of movieclips of the same type since Flash doesn't allow it, so each one needs to be a new class, and have that class typecasted when the parent is placed on stage. Kind of defeats the purpose of OOP.
This seems to be a bug in Flash itself, but is there any way to fix it?You can download an example file here with a couple extra traces to show off what's going on: url... It still has its children, they're added and displayed, but their type changes to MovieClip, ignoring the base class.
I'm slightly new to Flash CS3 + AS3 combo, so its more of a lack of practice question. My question stems from the problem described here http:[url].... . Note, its not the same problem, its a new one.The Problem ,So I have multiple library assets (which are on teh stage) and I want to assign similar functionality to all of them.
Attempt 1: So I create the n assets, create a custom class in AS3, link them to Flash CS3 and obviously enough it gives me the error that multiple assets can't be linked to the same class.Obvious enough to understand (well not completely, because from a programmers background it doesn't make sense).
Attempt 2: Same as attempt 1, but instead of linking all the assets to the same class I make the base class the same class, and let the derived class be dynamically created by Flash on compile time.So the linking works, but the problem is, in my base class I have a method which does something (say an tween) on a child of the library asset. So if the assets on the stage/library are called asset1, asset2, asset3 (same name for asset name, class name, id name), each of them has a sub-movieclip called ... say 'foo'. now if I manually wrote a class for each asset, I could do 'this.foo' to play with the sub-movieclip. However since this functionality is in the parent class, I'm unable to do it.
P.S. If you're form a programming/OOP background, its basically a abstract class problem. My Base class knows how to doSomething(), but it needs aSomething, which is defined in the Derived classes. However I found out that AS3 classes don't support virtual(C++ )/abstract (Java) in the true sense of the word (unless I missed some obvious documentation).
Let's say Class A has the flash.events.Event imported. Now let's say Class B extends Class A. Why in the hell do i need to import flash.events.Event in Class B? It makes no sens at all to me.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I have this Fla which contains a symbol that is linkaged to a certain class that is in my project. That class inherites a base class named CMovieClip which resides in one of the libraries that is in the class path (and inherites from MovieClip).Of some reason, every change that I do in the base class doesn't seem to influence the resulting linkaged class, much as if this library is cached somewhere that I can't feagure out.I tried to create the same conditions in a separate Fla but it does not repeat the issue.I tried to duplicate the symbol but the issue isn't solved that way.
View 4 RepliesI created a movieclip with a star. Then, I creates a document class and I named it as Main.as.
In that document class I wrote:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
public class Main extends MovieClip
[Code]....
I´m not posting here all the code, but you can easily see that I´m using x_origin and y_origin variables to keep the original position of the movie clip. I will use them to move the star back to the original position.
The problem is that instead of being 20 and 30 respectively, tracing them I see that they are both ZERO. So when I drop the star, instead of going to x=20,y=30 it moves back to x=0 and y=0. I´ve to get the star position relative to stage, but I can´t find anyway!
say that i have a base class called Base, that is Bindable and has a String property like this:
[Bindable]
public class Base

Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to "msg"
is there a limitation with data binding to a base class?
I am creating a Weapon class for a game and the weapons itself will be the sub classes. The sub classes will hard code some values (such as max ammo and the weapon name).
I trying to access this declared data in the base class constructor, at the moment it's not outputting the values. Is this possible?
I've broken my Weapon class for simplicity:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
My current workaround is creating a protected method in the base class to trace the information and calling that method in the sub class's constructor, this works fine but this doesn't seem like the most efficient technique?
I have an mc called sunny. In the properties panel I export her for actionscript. I put Sunny in the main class and Drag in the base class. The reason for this is that I want her to be draggable. I can't use Drag in the main class as another object is using that name. The Drag.as has the drag functionality. Why can't I drag her. I already have a solution - I wrote a specific class for her and extended the Drag class. However, if I have 10 mcs I'm not going to write specific classes for all of them. Summing up: Using the base class Drag in properties panel - why isn't she draggable?
View 7 RepliesI have two SWF files which I shall call container and slave. The slave file contains a movieclip that extends from a class I shall call base. base extends MovieClip and is compiled into an SWC. slave includes this SWC as a runtime library, while container includes it as merged (and does reference it so it should be compiled into the container SWF).
The container loads the slave like so:
bgURLRequest = new URLRequest(slaveUrl);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, new ApplicationDomain( null ), SecurityDomain.currentDomain);
bgLoader.load(bgURLRequest, context);
When this loading happens, I get the error that class base was not found. I suspect this has something to do with the presence of the ApplicationDomain in there. I'm not sure what it does exactly, since I didn't write this loading code myself (but I do know that it's there for a reason so it can't be simply removed).
I have a program where I have multiple classes derived from a base class. I want to take all instances of the different subclasses and put them into an array. Is there a way I can search for anything derived from the base class?For example, right now a get the number of children, then see what they are, so:
for (var i = 0; i < this.getNumChildren(); i++)
{
if (i is "type")

I have a problem concerning sound. Sound and AS3 to be more specific.my shoddy description of the problem, but here it is: How do I stop() an AS3 INTERNAL sound from another movieclip?
This following Audio-code is on a movieclip within a (Base)movieclip. It stops playing/looping when a button is pressed that gotoAndStops on another frame within the same (Base)movieclip. But when a button is pressed outside the movieclip and (Base)movieclip, which gotoAndStops on another movieclip on the timeline, it continues playing.

I'm creating an application with an animated kid figure. All the kid symbols sit in a kidLibrary.Fla file, Each of these symbols have a class named "Kid" linked to it on its Properties >Base Class. This Kid class is responsible for setting the right color and hair type for each kid symbol instance. Every time i need to include one of these kid symbols i drag it to the current .fla file I'm working on. If I place only one kid symbol in the library of the file I'm working on, everything works fine!
Now here is the problem: When i place more than one kid symbol in the library, and then drag it to the stage, then one of the symbols works fine while the other one doesn't seem to access all the properties of the Kid base-class. The result is that only one symbol act perfect while the other one(s) not.

I'm writing a series of Search windows for an application. I create the FLA files on the stage, each has 3 simple buttons: next_btn, prev_btn, and close_btn. Those all have event listeners which call findNext(), findPrev() and closeWin() respectively. Each search window looks for different things, some with a text box and some with a combo, etc.
So I have a base class com.search that extends Sprite and adds the eventListeners at startup (actually, on addedToStage). Like this:
function isAddedToStage(evt:Event){
next_btn.addEventListener("click",findNext); prev_btn.addEventListener("click",findPrev); close_btn.addEventListener("click",closeWin);}
[Code]....
If I add the event listeners in the derived class rather than the base, it works fine. But that seems to defeat the purpose of inheritance, plus it infers that I won't be able to derive new classes/swfs from those derived classes.
how does one reference objects created on the stage from a base class of that document's class?
I frequently create a lot of Library Symbols, export for Actionscript, letting Flash auto-generate the Class & extending a custom base-class in order to give them all custom functionality w/out having to create a Class for each, and/or without having to create a FactoryClass for instantiating X number of ClassObjects for each Symbol to be added to.It's really fast for prototyping, and with this workflow I've only hit a few obstacles. Those are:
1 - If the Symbol has children you cannot give the children instance-names, else the compiler gives an error related to automatically declaring stage instances. Two workarounds for this are that you can uncheck automatically declare stage instances, and do it manually in your base-class. or you can avoid using instance-names, and use getChildAt().
2 - If the Symbol is a MovieClip, the timeline doesn't inherit the base-classes imports. I don't have a workaround for this.are these limitations that could be addressed by Adobe's Flash team, or are they limitations that are unavoidable without altering the workflow?
That is i have called one AA class in to stage. AA class is extends from BB class. BB class extends from CC class.CC class extends MovieClip.
