ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Variable Values In One Class From Another Class?
Sep 7, 2010
I have two document classes. One is Main.as the other is Step2.as. I want to declare a public variable in Main.as then need to give it a value from Step2.as. That value will later be used in my next Document class Step3.as How would I write the code that gives the value in my Step2.as and then how would I write the code that retrieves the value in my Step3.as?
Note I can't import my Step2/ or Step3 document class into my Main.as.

I'm trying to change a varialbe in a seperate class from inside a movieclip that I have on the stage in the timeline, but the variable I'm trying to change keeps coming up as null instead of what I am trying to change it to. How is this usually done?

My following document class is working fine. But, when I want to import it instead of using as a document class, it reports an error "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.". My class code is here:
package{ import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Shape; import flash.text.TextField; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class Shapes extends Sprite { var square: Sprite = new Sprite(); var txt: TextField = new TextField(); public

I 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

I'm trying to create a class which will create a tween for several different instances of an object. I am creating the instances in the Document Class. The trick is, I would like to specify how long each tween will take.
Here's what I have so far:
DOCUMENT CLASS
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import mcCloud;
[Code].....
As you can see, I have a variable "myTime" which syncs the timer and the tween. This causes to tween to repeat and the clouds to continually scroll across the stage. How can I determine the var myTime at the time I create each instance of the Movie Clip mcCloud?

When I declare a class variable
private var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
It creates a new instance of that class that will trace as [Object MyClass].
However, as soon as I assign it to something
myVar = thisOtherVar;
It will now trace as [Object thisOtherVar].
I need to get it back to where it's just an "empty" blank class instance, if that makes any sense at all.

I've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me.[code]

How do I listen from the main class to a sub class for a variable change?
package {
import flash.events.*
public class DataBase extends MovieClip {
[Code].....
This is what I have so far for the sub class but I can't seem to figure out how to listen to this variable change from Main() or even if I am dispatching the event properly.

I have to admit I pretty much ran away from Flash when AS2 came along and only used it for animation purposes over the last 5 years.So I'm having a major crash course in AS3 in Flash CS3 and I'm not enjoying it one bit. I'm getting maybe 10mins of finished work per hour as I try to figure out the limits and rules of AS3. Quite often it seems that AS3 simply can't do what I want it to. Anyway: Characterchecks.as is the main class and it loads a bunch of XML into four arrays. The file starts like this:[code]If I trace the value of, say, cc._Categories from the main FLA, it's empty. I'm guessing that the next line of AS in the main FLA doesn't wait for the previously called function to complete? (This may tie in to my next problem)My next step is that I want to display various things based on the data in the array. I have another class, Display.as which will hold all the functions to create the items on display. I thought it would be best for these to be a separate object. I wonder if I'm right?
So I declare an instance of Characterchecks in the main FLA and call it cc, and then run the functions to populate the arrays... Now I create an instance of Display and call it cd. How can I get functions in cd to see the values of the variables in cc? And if the main timeline can't tell that the functions aren't finished filling the arrays, how is cd supposed to know?I might be asking dumb questions, or maybe I'm doing things ***-backwards, I don't know. I'd appreciate any help, I really would. This whole thing has me at the end of my tether... being the most technically advanced person in my circle of co-workers and web design friends means I have no-one to explain why things need to be done a certain way or what the best way is.

I am trying to create a dialogue system for a game that references lines of dialogue to be displayed from an array.Example:
var myArray:Array = new Array("My name is David.","I am a noob at actionscript.");
This all works fine, but what I really want to do is have the name "David" be a variable so that the user can change. The issue is that the array seems to convert any string variables into their string value so when they are referenced they only appear as the initial value of the variable.
Example:
var myName:String = "Empty";
var myArray:Array = new Array("My name is "+myName+".","I am a noob at actionscript.");
//user does something to change the variable myName
[code]....
Output: My name is Empty.,I am a noob at actionscript.When what I want is for it to say: My name is Jones.

I'm having some problems importing a class, the message that Flash gives me is this; The class being compiled, 'ImageLoader', does not match the class that was imported, '[URL]'. The only line of code in my flash movie is this: import com.martijndevisser.*; And yes, the class is in that folder The class is from here: [URL] I've used the class before and it works fine, I just dont know what to do?

The problem with Math.sin() is that I cant figure out a way to control the increment. Still this seems like a lot of code for such a simple concept.

Passing Values From One Class To Another.
This this not seems a difficult tusk to understand.
I can able to connect classes to each other. But the thing is that, when I am going to construct some logic to load and hold xml data and only fetch the correct child object from it, I stumped.
Here is the starter:
I connect loadXML.as to Main.fla from Properties Panel.
loadXML.as
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;

I'm currently stumped by this. I've created a class to load xml data from a txt file, then assign that xml to a variable named siteStructureXml. When I trace the value of siteStructureXml from within the class instance it shows the expected xml data. When I try to assign the value to a variable returnedXml defined on the timeline of my movie, it's value traces as null. I've a feeling it's something blindingly obvious..

I am wondering if it's better to pass an instance of a whole class to another class or just specific properties of that class. For example if I want the height property of class A in class B do I pass just the height value into class B or the whole instance of the class and use classA.height in class B?

transferring values from one class to another via dispatchEvent.
main.fla
code/main.as (Doc class)
code/game/card.as
code/game/board.as
I can communicate an event between any of them fine using a dispatchEvent and addEventListener, and I can get values from the card & board actionscript files into main.as using e.target.*
However for some reason I just cannot get a value to send from main.as to the card or board classes using this same method. And I'm literally stumped as to why.

I'm wondering if there are numerical limits for the values you can manipulate using the tween class.I am importing mx transitions and using them to manipulate the _xscale and _yscale of a movie clip.. If I understand correct.. x and y scale property is measured in percentage.is there a limitation on the value I can plug in? Can I scale.. say.... 1,000,000% (million)how about 100,000,000,000 !!! (one hundred trillion)How about limits on _x and _y position values..?to quell any curiosity, I'm essentially trying to control a movie clip that has the appearance of 'zooming' in with button clicks by increasing the scale..

I have a class called Background that has a function that creates a textfield when my movie is first called:
Code:
public function MakePoint() {
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(txt);
txt.text = "Points: " + StaticValues.puzzlePoints.toString();
}
I want the text to change whenever the user does something. I have a function in another class that controls that. How do I change the text from another class? I've tried with the code below, but it doesn't work:
Code:
Background.txt.text = "Different Text"

So say I've got a MovieClip that's sitting on my stage. If I wanted to apply a custom class to that, what would be the best way?I know I can associate the class with an item in the library, and then drop that onto the stage with code. But is there a way of turning a MovieClip into another class when it's already sitting on the stage?

The code works, I'm jsut unable to read the Class variable "myString" on the main timeline.I thought I could pass the "myString" value from the Class to the Main Timeline?I created a variable in an external Class .as file.See coding below.
//------- Code on main timeline .Fla
var testClass:MyClass = new MyClass(myString);
var myString:String;

When you do, you'll see that the movieclip should obviously be at position (0, 0) on the stage. However it appears at (25, 5)! if I leave in the original "this.x = xx;", then it appears at (50, 5). If I also leave in "this.y=yy;" then it appears at (50, 10).

I have another question for the masses out there regarding trying to input values from a text input box to a custom class. I currently have a custom class named Company with properties that correspond to values in a MySQL database.
So I created an input UI on the client application that calls out for Address, Name, Zip, Phone, etc. - Then there is a button to submit to values to the database for creation. Here's my question:
How do I take each individual textinput.text property and 'mesh' them all together to a Company object to send to the server? The PHP that is written takes in an argument like this:
public function createNewCompany (Company $item) { .......
So is that even the right way to send them in? Or???
There are a total of 11 things (properties) that need to be submitted.

I've never used classes in Actionscript before, but right now I think they could make my life a lot easier. What I want to know is, when I create a new movieclip from (or with or whatever) a class, is it possible to add some unique variable values that I can retrieve from it? For example, if I wanted to create a door (door1) from class 'door' and give it a variable leadsto = door4; In AS2 I could just put leadsto = door4; onto the door1 movieClip and then retrieve it through door1.leadsto;
