View 1 RepliesAs simple a problem as the title says. I must be doing something really stupid. I've got a large section of a site, built a month ago runs fine. Went to make some changes. Now when I compile the video instantiantion fails. I've gone back to basics to test this problem out and it persists.So, here's my document class:package sections{import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.media.Video;public class LocketVideo extends MovieClip{private var _vid:Video = new Video(200, 200);public function LocketVideo() {trace("hi there");}}}When I compile the swf I get the following error:/Projects/[omitted]/Src/sections LocketVideo.as, Line 9 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.( line 9 is the _vid line )Now, if I pull out the parameters of the video object it works fine... well compiles fine. A video object without a size isn't much use. Note that if I don't set parameters... all other calls to the object fail.My first thought was that my default Flash classes got corrupted. Nope. Ran this compile on two other computers, same issue. Also thought maybe I had the fla set to the wrong .
View 3 RepliesIn a static method, how can I instantiate an object of the supertype, or at least know what the supertype is?Consider the following code:
Code:
class A {
public static function clone(obj:Object) : Object {
var us : Object = new <superclass>();
[code]....
What should <superclass> be?
How can I instantiate another class object from a class instance? In the code below (which doesn't work) I'd like the function to return a new class instance based the passed argument's class. In other words, I want the function to return a new instance of MySprite without having to call new MySprite();.
var mySprite:Sprite = new MySprite();
var anotherSprite:Sprite = makeAnotherSprite(mySprite);
function makeAnotherSprite(instance:Sprite):Sprite {
return new getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(instance));
}
I'm studying a demo code and it seems to me that an instance of a class is never instantiated, in particular I have this line:

View 1 RepliesI am trying to put together a class for playing video using the Video object. So far, I have only been successful in getting the Video object to fully work when not using a class setup. In the documentation, I have read that to use the Video object you have to actually drag/create the video object onto the stage. So, in my next attempt, I created the video object onto the stage within a MovieClip but still trying to use a class/linkage setup with the Video inside inside of a MovieClip container. No luck there either. Here is the basic AS2 script that is linked to a MovieClip that contains the Video object ("video" instance) within it.
Code:
class VideoTest {
private var nc:NetConnection;
private var ns:NetStream;
[code].....
I am getting the following error with this script.
Code:
Line 14: There is no property with the name 'video'.
Line 15: There is no method with the name 'video'.
I am creating an actionscript video player in Haxe and to avoid the asyncError I am trying to create a custom Object. How do I do this is Haxe? The client property specifies the object on which callback methods are invoked. The default object is the NetStream object being created. If you set the client property to another object, callback methods will be invoked on that other object. Here is my code.
public function new()
{
super();

Migrating to AS3 is being harder than I supposed, because the way things are referenced. I have a stay movie clip instantiated from library like this:
Code:
var mcMyMain:MovieClip = new mcMain();
addChild(mcMyMain);
var mcMyChild:MovieClip = new mcChild();
mcMyMain.addChild(mcMyChild);
Within mcMyChild I have a timeline with some animation, and, at the end of this timeline I want to instantiate another movieclip in mcMyMain (that is in stage) like this:
Code:
stop();
var mcMyTest:MovieClip = new mcTest();
stage.mcMyMain.addChild(mcMyTest);
[code]....
I would like to know if its possible, to use a string in order to create a UI element.I think many people have this kind of problem, they want an easy setup in flash to generate a dynamic UI, through code.It should look like this (pseudo code):

addToStage("TextInput","name");
private function addToStage ( o : Object, str : String ) : void {

I have been trying to get buttons to work when linking back from an html page to a frame in a .swf movie for a couple weeks now, I have searched exhaustively to no avail. I am out of resources, I have searched every variation of the issue in multiple places and just cannot find an answer.
In a nut shell, when the "home" page (.swf in an html container page published with html anchors) runs first time all is well, buttons function goes to certain frames no prob. But once the links go out to another html page, and then back to the frame in the .swf, all links properly back to correct frames, but then the buttons don't function anymore. The closest I have gotten to solving this is it was mentioned that the mouse event code is not instantiating for some reason that I cannot understand.
The code IS on all the fames that are in question, but just will not work after linkback.

Is it possible to instantiate MovieClips that exist in the library (that have been exported for actionscript) with a for loop using an array that holds their link name?
var fruit:Array = new Array("apple", "banana", "blackberries");
for (var i:int = 0; i < fruit.length; i++)
{
var aFruit[i] : fruit[i] = new fruit[i];
}
I was chatting with my buddy about this, he is convinced you can do this and says he has done it, but I cannot get this to work.
I am wondering if it is even possible at all. I tried typing a var as a Class that is within the externally downloaded SWF and then making an instance but no can do.
some code
private static function onCompleteHandler(e:Event)
{
dashboardObject = e.target.content;
// registerClassAlias("Dashboard", ); doesnt work
[Code]....
So it seems you cannot make an instance of a class unless it is complied within the project SWF. Which if true is what I want it to do. I do not want people trying to make instances of my classes just from downloading the SWF file for what I am building here.
How can i call and instantiate soundclips in my library dynamically.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have an abstract class which gives specific 'base' behavior to multiple sub classes. I want to instantiate a Singleton inside this abstract class. Is it good practice to:a) instantiate a class within an abstract classb) do this with a Singleton (I know these may be frowned upon)For clarity I will give an example, the method instantiating the Singleton is:
public function createErrorRepository(repositoryType:String):void {
this._errorFactory = ErrorFactory.getInstance();
this._errorRep = this._errorFactory.createErrorRepository(repositoryType);

How can I instantiate a TabViewNavigator from actionscript for the playbook? Currently, I add the necessary spark frameworks and have this piece of code in the Main of my actionscript project:
[SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#ffffff", frameRate="30")]
public class Main extends Sprite {
private var waitDialog:BaseDialog = new BaseDialog ();
public function Main() {
super ();
[Code] .....
When the button is clicked, the button disappears as you would expect but the tab navigator is not added/does not appear. I tried without removing the Main class but that does not work either. What do I need to do to set up a tab interface. I can get similar code working through Flex and MXML but not in actionscript.

when you have some kind of module for a website for example, what is a better way to code you application?If i load external swf, then i obviously need to compile it before from fla, but i can have some symbols in the library directly in that fla file.if i make an instance of a class, then i dont need swf file but then i need to take care of library stuff (if any) differently...
View 6 RepliesI am trying to change over old code (Actionscript 1.0) to use Fuse in Flash 8. Old code uses: this._x = Math.easeInQuad(this.t, 0, gox, 6); So my new code in Flash 8 would be:
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.register(PennerEasing);
this._x = PennerEasing.easeInQuad(this.t, 0, gox, 6);
Is that all I need to do to do an easeInQuad? Do I have to declare/define it somewhere or is the equations, parameters it accepts builtin to Fuse?
I have some classes: LowA, LowB, LowC, SpaceShip, that all subclass BaseChar. How can I instantiate one of the subclasses by using a string for the name. (I have been trying to get this to work for a couple of hours now). For example, the typical way that I have been instantiating the subclasses:

To call a class we would type: var testClass = new TestClass();Can I store the class in an array, and somehow pull it when I want to call it the same way? I need to be able to call a new class like the example above, but from an array.
View 3 RepliesI'm rewriting a game that came from AS2, and passing it to AS3. The problem is that I have several different MovieClips in the Library, with a sequence name ("s_0", "s_1,...).
how can I use the addChild to instantiate these movieclips, using these names, sequencially, using a FOR loop?
I'm trying to get a way, that I don't have the remake all movieclips, or else I'll be stuck on the desk for a week :P
i'm trying to create a dynamically named Vector. i have a critical project deadline tomorrow, and this small problem is holding back continued development i've adapted my code from this example [URL]...yet am getting an error message (see below). here is what i have:
[Code]...
No matter how much I try, nothing works.
1. Moving a loader instance to a movieclip containter returns a coercion error.
2. Moving the loaded image object to a MC container does not produce any errors, but remains as a bitmap object.
3. bitmapdata.draw() method seems to require either a bitmap or bitmapdata destination object.
Basically I am poping up the following component:
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,RegionExperienceDetailPopUp,false));
I need to call RegionExperienceDetailPopUp.generateData(passIntArray);
What is the syntax to do this?
I made a Post-It note movie clip that is draggable. I want to create a whole pad of notes, or at least simulate this. I thought the best way to do this would be to add another Post-It whenever the startDrag() is triggered.
I first tried creating the Post-It with symbols but didn't think I could dynamically create new ones this way. I then created a class and added it to the stage[code]...
Instead of
public class MyMainMovieClip extends MovieClip {
public function MySliderComponent() {
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code].....
I get no error in second case but nothing shows up but stays blank.
