So...I'm finally trying out the CS4 upgrade.THIS never threw an error compiling in CS3:
Code:
public function get currentEnterFn():Function {
return (_enterFn); //it's a function from another class, not null.
}
This throws: Warning: 3553: Function value used where type * was expected. Possibly the parentheses () are missing after this function reference.
Getting Error 1067 and Warning 3553 .I get the following errors when I compile[code]...
View 2 RepliesI am making this interactive flash card, and dont have any problems so far, however, I get this error:

This is the piece of code its referring to:
function klokklik (evt:MouseEvent) {
draai = 0;
geklikt = 1;
roteren;
}
And roteren; refers to the function roteren:
function roteren (evt:Event) {<lots of code here>

I'm building a somewhat large Flex project that includes several modules (a single Flex project that produces multiple SWFs)
Right now, I have a single css file, being loaded in the main SWF tag:
<s:Application ... >
<fx:Style source="css/main.css" />
...
</s:Application>
[Code]....
And repeat for Button, TextArea, etc etc. I have so many useless warnings, it is impossible to see if there are any valid ones.
Is this warning caused by something I'm doing wrong? The styles are all being applied correctly and appears to work just the way I want at runtime.
NOTE: I've tried the -show-unused-type-selector-warnings=false compiler flag, and it does not work...that's for a similar but different warning.
I am trying to do a simple CSS declaration. However, I got the warning above and not sure how to solve it. I thought s|(type) should declare the style for me

I'm a very new user to AS3 and I'm attempting to migrate a site from Flash CS3 to CS4 on a Mac. I keep getting the following compile warning: "Warning: Actions on button or movie clip instances are not supported in Action Script 3. All scripts on object instances will be ignored." This is very confusing to me. I thought that scripts could be attached to both frames and objects? Is this a bug that is a result of switching from versions? Or is this warning true; and I have to abandon all uses of attaching scripts to objects on the stage?
Also: Can anyone illuminate me on the keystroke to call the actions window in AS3? It is supposed to be the F9 function key and another that I can;t locate on my keyboard!? As I said,I'm a very new user, so be kind!!
I have been building my website using a simple mouse event click system that makes movie clips play at specifically names keyframes. it took me a bit, but I got it right and the code was simple. here is an example of the code that works:
films.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver1);
function btnOver1(event:MouseEvent):void{
sketch_5.gotoAndPlay("f_over");
}
Pretty simple stuff. but now I am working on a paid project for someone, and it is a bit more complicated in scope, but essentially I would be using the same code over and over again. it's a glorified slide show. but I ran into a problem. I used this code, which is the same (with different names and mouse event) as the one above.
mcLifeLED.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Light_Type);
Function Light_Type(event.MouseEvent):void{
mlights.gotoAndPlay("p_life");
}
Its telling me that "Function Light_Type(event.MouseEvent):void" is wrong with this message "1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute Function, not Light_Type." I may be wrong, but from what I can read in it, it's telling me that the function I named about "Light_Type" can't be found...
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) {
var currentIndex:MovieClip = this["menuButton" + i]
currentIndex.menuButtonTxt.text = menuArray[i];
[code]...
So when I did this the problem that I am having is that it throws an error at compile time. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.
Basically plots a dot wherever you click. Getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type Function.

I'm in the beginning stages of trying to understand AS3.Flash is outputting these two errors:1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Function.1120: Access of undefined property event_obj.

View 2 RepliesI am attempting to style the headers in a flex datagrid and I keep getting the warning:

What does this mean? I have gone through a bunch of tutorials and none of them have worked. It seems like changing a the colors in a datagrid should be relatively simple.

i have a class that has something like this
public class Foo {
public var f:Function;
public void method(s:String)

so i need to assign to the f a function that takes an argument f(s), something like
myFoo.f = thefunction
function(s:String)
how to do all this, so it will work correctly?
What is the ActionScript 3 function that returns the type of a variable ?
I remember that there is one but I can't remember it nor can I find any reference of it.
I want to guess the type of every argument from an anonymous function, something like mapping a class with reflection but just for a function, something like...

It doesn't appear to be possible to get the return type of a function. Is this correct?

In a program I'm making, I have multiple instances of the same object on the stage at any given point, and I need some function which will allow me to target each of those instances one by one so I can update their properties.

I have a number of functions and I want to execute 1 based on the entries in a .xml file
part my xml file reads as follows
<funcType>thisFunc</funcType>
In my .fla I have defined thisFunc along with a number of similar functions
I want to execute the function as follows
chosenFunc=Node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;//points to thisFunc in the .xml file
chosenFunc(); // This should execute as thisFunc ()
Problem is this doesn't seem to be working. Am I trying the impossible?
I'm trying to convert some C# code I have and one problem I can't find a solution for is to have a function take parameters of unknown types.
C# code:
PHP Code:
public T Maximum<T>(T v1, T v2){ return v1 > v2 != null ? v1 : v2;}
A straight translation to AS3 would look something like this, for making it easier to understand for people that might be confused by C# syntax.
[Code]...
This way you can send in anything as the parameters (notice the <T>), be different classes for example, depending on what situation you want to use it, instead of writing a lot of duplicate functions for every possible parameter type.
Is there a way to do this in AS3? Edit: Seems like I managed to find a solution right after I wrote this. Seems like one can use "*" as parameter type.
so I'm not just new here, but definitely new to actionscript (though I have a MINOR amount of OOP experience in matLAB). I was wondering if someone could clarify something (though I'm sure this thread will grow out of my own confusion)?

I'm getting an error and I have no idea why. Below is the code that's causing the problem.
'player1' is the instanced class and 'hero' is an instanced symbol within the class.
This is the error message:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Function to an unrelated type int.
This function is within a class.
Code:
public function get_R():int{
return hero.rotation;
}
This code is on my frame in the .fla file.
Code:
if(player1.get_R == 0){
......
}
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var animTween:Tween;

I have figured out the following: Well, as you see the function moveStuff accepts three arguments, namely:
objectdurationeasingWhen easing has a default value, I get an error. But if it doesn't have a default value, then it works fine, the code would look like so then:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var animTween:Tween;
[Code].....
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE,callMenu);
...
function callMenu(e:Event)
{
//game is paused and a menu is brought up.
}
if i also want to call the menu within another function which is not the same type of event, should i pass in null?
example: a switch statement finds the correct keyboard input has been pressed, is it bad to use callMenu(null);...it seemed to work, but feels wrong.
