[code]The compiler is throwing 3 errors of the same type 1119(1119: Access of possibly undefined property enemyList through a reference with static type Class.) and pointing to the 3 places where I used enemyList in the Hero class. Why cant I use the static array in the Hero class? Or is there another method to detect collision through the available enemies on screen?
View 3 RepliesI'm currently writing a feature for an interactive periodic table which dynamically displays the name of the element and other properties when you hover over the element. I have thought of three ways to do this and I am wondering which is the best, memory-wise and speed-wise, for loading this information.
make a class with an array ( new Array("hydrogen", "helium", "lithium",...etc.)), instantiating it, then accessing the info with object.arr[i] make a class with a static array (otherwise, same as no.1), importing it, then accessing the info with class.arr[i] put the information into an external xml file and accessing it from there. The 3rd method seems excessive as you have to go through the hassle of adding event listeners for URLloader every time. Is there any difference between the 1st and 2nd way? (What is happening in terms of memory when you are importing a class - is the entire array added to memory?)
I'm currently working on a particle system for a game that I recently started development on, but I've hit a snag: I have a class particlecontainer that tells each particle what to do on enterframe, and which contains each particle as a child. I also have a class (mischandler) which has a static array that contains all current particles, as well as another static array that is a buffer to remove particles from the particlecontainer. Whenever a particle "dies", it calls a function which adds it to the buffer array in mischandler. However, when I try to access this buffer array from the particlecontainer class it does not recognize it as having any elements. If this is unclear here's a simpler explanation:
particlecontainer tells a particle to do it's enterframe function particle calls die() and adds itself to the removebuffer inside mischandler particle container tries to access mischandler.removebuffer but removebuffer has no elements Strangely, the particle can access the removebuffer perfectly fine and sees all the elements in it.
Alright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.
I'm kind off oblivious as to what I'm doing wrong here... I have two classes: - Alley - AlleyCat

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with if there is a big difference in performance in ActionScript 3 between keeping a class with only public static functions, and utilizing those functions often (as in a frame event at 30fps), and in turning the class into a "normal" class of which I instead make an instance and call the functions via the instance instead.
View 1 RepliesI realize this is kind of an odd issue, but I am wondering if there's any way to get Flash to allow me to access a class's static functions using a class variable that points to the class. Example:I create a class called FooClass that has a static function named fooI then create a variable of type Class that points to it
Code:
var class:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("FooClass"));
However, when I try to call foo() using the variable, it errors saying the function

View 5 RepliesHi there, i am hoping for some advice on structure/optimisation from some of you experts . I am working on a portfolio system that is modular, each module works in a self contained way and does not require the other modules to function, though they can be 'linked' by having them all reference the same PortfolioData() class.
im happy with how it is working, but i feel there could be a better way to share the datasource between all classes rather than duplicating it and storing a copy in each class.

is it not possible to define a static const array? i would like to have an optional parameter to a function that is an array of colors,

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a class out of some code senocular wrote on another forum. The code controls the changing of a display object from one color to another. It's called InterpolateColor.I have managed to create a class out of the original code but I am trying to make the class static so that I don't have to create an instance of it in my controller class... I just want to access it by importing it at the top and then saying something like ActionScript Code:InterpolateColor.interpolate( _myMC, 0xFFFFFF );The problem, I keep getting errors when I try and change the class initialize line to ActionScript Code:static public class InterpolateColorWhat have I done wrong in my translation to a class that is preventing me from accessing this in a static way Here's the whole class:

View 9 RepliesI'm setting up a class of public static vars that are to be BitmapData.

Should I assume it's because my array is a private var and placing references to public static vars is illegal? Is somebody gonna call the flash police on me?
Let's say I have a utility class that contains a static method. This method runs some math on the arguments passed to it, then returns an Array.

I have a static utility class that must have a reference to the stage, and I'm not sure what is the best option for me to get the stage inside my class...
I've thought of these options:Pass in as a parameter of the function Have a static variable I can set to the stage I don't like either of these because they are ugly.
What methods can you suggest for me to get a reference to the stage in my static class?
I am working on a Flash site template for which I am implementing the possibility for the users to change the theme dynamically while the site is opened.Basically, the site will have a few themes available and when the user selects a new theme, all of the site objects will change their properties (colors, alpha, fonts, etc) to fit the new theme.
And my questions is what is the best approach to sending the theme information to all of the objects in the site.I was thinking of making a static class called "Theme" and when the objects need a property, they will call a static getter of the Theme class that will return the appropriate property value for the object.But, from my understanding, static properties are quite slow and seeing that I may need quite a lot of them, maybe more that 100 for the whole site, will this approach be too slow ?
I'm trying to make a static class that will change the text written in a TextField inside a SWF file.
In this case I have a MovieClip with a TextField inside with a message. I want to be able to make a class that giving this TextField and a message, that will change in the button.
Certainly that I'm forgetting something obvious, I get the correct trace messages, but the textfield disappears. The initial text is "Start" and I want to change that to "OK". For now I just want to change the text, but after I want to be able to change the text format.
So far I have this:
package

import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class ChangeTextField extends MovieClip

I have a class name ImageLoader that is used to load image and the dispatch a complete event when the image is loaded. This class is implementing singleton design pattern which means that only one instance is created always for this class.
Everything is working fine it is loading the image but in the initListener function i am dispacthing a complete event to let the other class Content (which passes the image name to this class ) that the image is loaded and you can access it now.
BUt the problem is the event is never dispatched or may be it is but I am not catching it properly here is code for my ImageLoader class.
