I'm working on a Flash Lite 3.0 application using AS2 and I've created a class that extends MovieClip. The problem is that I'd like to dynamically add Child Movieclips using the addChild method... but it doesn't work, it gives me the following compiler error: "There is no method with the name 'addChild'". But I can call other MovieClip specific methods such as this.getNextHighestDepth()
heres a reduced version of my class:
class com.sck.DragList extends MovieClip {
//Declarations
private var placeHolder:MovieClip;
private var listMask:MovieClip;

I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:

I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?

I am having an issue using a string as a key in an external call. Here's what's going down.I recieve an XML document, which gives me a list of ID's that refer to other objects in the database. When I pass that ID in as URLVariable, the backend doesn't recognize it and returns nothing.Say the ID was 124. I tried passing the string "124" as the key, and it worked, returning the proper resource. Confused, i do the following
Code:
trace(xml.id__ == "124"); // returns true
getResource(xml.id__); // returns nothing
getResource("124"); // returns correct resource
I know there are issues with using == as a comparator, but since it's returning true I figured it sees them both as the string "124" -- but why would it not work? I also tried String(xml.id__), Number(xml.id__), and some other stuff.
Basically, I would like to expose the interface of some Flash code via a textField. I can easily tokenize the string and get the method name and use eval to call the method. I am having trouble collecting the parameters and handing them to the method.[code]...
View 1 RepliesHow do I create a class that extends the String class?
Lets say I've created an 'exString' class that extends String.
In my project file I do the following
Code:
var test:exString = new exString();
test = "Hello World";
text.someExStringFunction();
I get a type mismatch in my "Hello World" assignment because Flash sees it as a String and not as an exString.
