ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Class Object Into Another Object?
Jan 19, 2010
Steps - Make 2 MovieClips. One MC will be a 500x400 picture. The other MC, will be a simple circle called "Ball". Make that Ball a Class by editing the properties, and assigning it the Class name "Ball" as well.1) Picture is static, so we have the picture MC sitting on Frame 1.2) Within the Document Class file, instantiate the new "Ball" class with name "ball" 2a) I want the "Ball" to be added to the picture class, so that every time I call it, the Ball is inside the picture. If you were to trace it - trace (picture.ball);Anyone know how to go about doing this? The code for simply instantiating the "Ball" class = Code:var ball = new Ball(); addChild(ball);
I have a class file named Main.as and another class called icon.as
package { import icon; public class main { public var _time:String; function main() { [Code] .....
How do I get the current update from the main class without calling the MainObj repeatedly. Is this possible in Flash AS3, or any other alternate method for this idea.
I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):
I have a class CoverPoint extends Pointwith some extra function.except for that ther is no difference. I would like to use the functions of Point with a return value of Point, to calculate those CoverPoints.Can i turn the return value into CoverPoint (since all the vars are the same, there shouldn't be a problem with that, right?), so that it can be stored in my var cP:CoverPoint;
When I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.
Ok. So heres what I am trying to do. I want one movie clip to follow another one that I move around with actions on the main timeline.The problem is that the follower clip is linked to a class file and I cannot find a way to find the players position.
How can i cast a object to another type? in AS3 i tried putting (objectType) infront of the variable but it doesnt work, below i have added objects of fishes into the child, and i am getting the fishes back out when mouse down is triggered, and then calling the fishes what to do. however i cant call the method of the custom class fish because it is a displayobject.[code]...
The following is that long only because I gave examples of what I want to know, not because it is complex .I have three basic questions regarding AS 3.0 classes.
1. How can I make a class object interact with an object on stage?
For example, when I have a square (mc_Square) with class "square" attached to it and I want it to trace "Colliding!" and print the X and Y of the mc_Box on contact with an on-stage *hollow* box (mc_Box) that has no class attached to it.how to do it vice-versa would also be awesome .
2. How can I make a class object interact with the same class object? For example, when I have two squares (mc_Square) that both have the class "square" attached to it and when they collide, it prints the X and Y of both of them.
3. How can I make a class object interact with a different class object?
For example, when I have two squares mc_Square1 with class "square1 (that also has a variable Primary=true written in it)" and a mc_Square2 with class "square2"; When they collide, the one with Primary=true would be removed and it's X,Y position traced.
I have created an enemy object from document class. if my enemy score becomes zero, the enemy must get removed.Is there any way to remove that object by destroy the object from document class?.
im creating multiple objects (the number is dynamic)they move randomly, but i want dont want them to be able to pass thru each other.i'm having dificulty on writing the hitTextObject code because I dont know how to refer the other objects.[code]
I'm tring to create instance of class, when I got name of this class.I think better to explain my problem will be this code:[code]I invoke some Function, and I get error: [Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Level0Img was not defined.
my library is filled with a movie clip for each letter in the alphabet (26 movie clips). I also have a blank symbol on the stage. When the movie starts, it generates a random 8 letter string from an array of letters. The next part is supposed to take the first letter of the newly generated string, pull the corresponding movie clip from the library, and display it in the blank symbol on the stage. After that, it moves to the 2nd letter, and so on. Ultimately I'm trying to have 8 random letters from the alphabet array set the corresponding movie clips on the stage.
So I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?
I am new to AS3 but not to AS2. I have written a simple class and when I import it, I don't see the object that should be created upon calling the constructor. Can you guys tell me where am I going wrong. And I am very puzzled about 'document class'. Yes, I have google numerous threads on "document class" but still very shaky on this matter. Here is my simple class which should place a button object on the stage when I create a new object of this class. Once I have created the BTN class, I have made sure that I have button component in my library, I then instantiate the object by creating a new CS3 file and importing my class: import com.learning.as3.*; var b:BTN = new BTN();
When I test the movie, I get the following errors: 1172: Definition com.learning.as3 could not be found. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: BTN. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method BTN.
Is it possible the JS object object doesn't exist when the flash calls? Here is all the source and the issue ticket for the SWF project this is happening on: http:[url]....
PS - I have the swf mp3 player working with some custom JS that removes the need for the swf to call the JS, but I'd love to understand why IE9 does this while the other browsers work as expected.
-I know one can call javascript functions from as3 using ExternalInterface, but in all the examples I've seen the function has been a standalone function on the page. Can methods on objects (that are on the page) be called. E.g: obj.someFunc() rather than just someFunc()?
-The return value can be stored as well using ExternalInterfaces. Can this return value be a javascript object? If so, its methods be called from it directly?
I am trying to create a custom object which will display particular graphics at a particular time (when the movie tells the object to show something). Well I made my object (the way I thought it would work) and I encountered a problem when I called graphics functions from the main movie.
I made a very stripped down version of the same object to test and see what was going wrong. Apparently, I can call "Draw()" directly from inside the constructor and it will use the draw methods, but I cannot call it from the movie (like in the script below) and I can't call it from another function in the object if that function is not called during the constructor.
The question is... am I doing this right? The simple version of my end goal would be to create this object and have a function that I can call in the object something like "DrawImage(imagePath:String)" and it will use the graphics to draw the image.
In the movie: ----------------------------------------------
So I have chess like game, where I place my piece (c[i]) on the board, the piece automatically gets pushed into a square, and the AI starts (computerplay function)
The problem is that the AI (computerplay function) is running before the piece get pushed into the nearest square, leaving it hanging oddly over the board for 3 seconds while the computer thinks.
Is there some way to force a redraw before the calling the computerplay function?
I have my main fla and then I have a actionscript named bullet.as.in the bullet.as I create a bullet using "this" throughout the script now how would I call the bullet on my main timeline?
How would I call this component that fade an object? The component allows you to drag it onto an object and set the fade in or out interval length but I want to trigger it by either entering a frame or clicking on a button. I am attaching the fla with the 2 buttons but I can not figure out how to call the component on press and have it execute the fade action. I figure if I put 2 of the fade compnents on the stage and have one with fadein properties and one with fade out properties i just need to make cales to them from a button or apon enleying a frame so i could resuse the same fade for all mc's.
I am developing a flash application for a website I have no direct access to. The flash application is supposed to call a javascript function on the website, defined by the website publisher. I got advised to check for the existance of the javascript object before calling its' function from actionscript:
I am using the below package to play back a wav file. In my main file I create several of these objects, put them in an array, and then try to call playBack().
Unfortunately it doesn't work. However, I can call playBack() from within the object, for example by having this object create a button.
If I have a movieclip loaded with Loader and I want it to call back down to the movie that loaded it how do i do that? Referencing a root object just gets me to the root of the child not to the main stage.
I'm using a package to play back .wav files in Flash. I can make wav's play back, however, what I cannot do is trigger their playback from a button. I suspect this is because I've misunderstood the this keyword. Below is an example.
You can see that when I call playBackTest() directly it works; when I call this object from a button it doesn't.
I'm having a hard time because of an "Error #1009:Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" Iget everytime I try to run my Flash-movie. I've attached the codethat is contained in frame 1.The function bringUpEasyQuestion is defined on frame 2, alongwith other functions that are defined there. Now when I test themovie, I get this message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method ofa null object reference.at MES_fla::MainTimeline/bringUpEasyQuestion()atMES_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()I've read that the Error1009-message means that you aretrying to access something that isn't there yet. And indeed, thebringUpEasyQuestion-function accesses objects that exist only onframe 2. But the first line of the function bringUpEasyQuestion isgotoAndStop(2);. The curious thing is that it works when i put thelast line of the code in frame one (the function callbringUpEasyQuestion(0);) on the first line with the command gotoAndStop(2);?
