ActionScript 3.0 :: Classes - Every Object To Be Associated With Own MovieClip?
May 5, 2009
I want to make a flash movie with cars of different kind. Every car looks different and have their own specifications like weight, horse powers, top speed. So.. I want to create a class Car that can hold the variables weight, horsePowers, topSpeed and should be linked with a specific MovieClip (the car).
The problem is I cannot link all my MovieClips, holding the cars, to the same class Car.Should I create a container to associate with the class and then place different car MovieClips in them depending on which car object I'm creating? (so the MovieClip itself is sort of a variable)
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].....
And then I create an empty container_mc and volvo_mc, audi_mc, opel_mc. container_mc is linked with Car
var theVolvo:Car = new Car ( 1230, 230, volvo_mc);

I am trying to build an MXML application with Flash Builder 4.5, and I am integrating an API that requires the root of a display object to be a MovieClip. Personally I think this is bad design but I have to go with it. The root object always seems to end up as the stage, because of course I have to add the object to the stage for it to be added to the display list. Is there some way that I can either change the stage type in an MXML application to a MovieClip or is there some way to force a MovieClip wrapper to become the root of a display object?

I have a project that i'm working on, and in the project it's important that i have an object that i can create with actionscript that already has two arrays inside of it. To do this, i made the movieclip, i checked export for actionscript in the library, and in the custom class that corresponds to that object i made the arrays with the following code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class cont extends MovieClip {

classes. GiftMain and GiftItem. i attached GiftItem objects into GiftMain. Actually there are 2 more movieclips between them. i declare a variable in GiftItem as giftMain to reference it to the GiftMain. i have a function in GiftItem which is as below;
[Code]...
trace outputs the right object in this function in GiftItem class but at another place in the same class, it outputs undefined when it is traced even though it is global variable. I just want to reach GiftMain from GiftItem without using _parent or _root. How can i do that?

Is it OK to use the constructor to set properties for a value object class or must I use dot notation and set each one, one-by-one? I recently read an article that was saying I should do it one-by-one as value objects should only contain properties and went on to say using the constructor is not OK (best-practice wise).
Code:
("not OK")

I have 2 different classes that contains different object. And I control from another custom classes on when to load which class. The custom class will load a class when first run, and switch to another one when selected. My problem is, although I called the next class, but the object does not appear. The class that controls which to load
ActionScript Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'm new to the object oriented stuff and I'm trying to learn how it works. Here's what I've started on - it's led to a few dilemmas. I have one flash file and two .as each with one class. In the timeline of the fla file, it reads:
ActionScript Code:
var FileObject:ScriptFile = new ScriptFile();
function onEnterFrame(){
FileObject.CallInput();
}
Call input is a function in "ScriptFile.as" that calls another function in "Input.as";
ActionScript Code:
class Input{
public function Input(){
} public function keyListener(target:Number):Number{
[Code] .....
In output, when I press Left, it will say -5 over and over again, and I'm trying to add to xpos value but that isn't happening.

I've recently come to a roadblock in my code for a non-visual class I created; a sound class if you want to know. At first I coded with it extending Sprite (I can't remember why I started it out that way, but that's the way it was). When I came back to this code, I thought that extending sprite doesn't make any sense if it's an audio class and non-visual, where is no real reason to add something to the stage if you can't see it. So I removed "extends Sprite" from the class and errors started popping up around "dispatchEvent" coded areas. I then tried putting back the extention with "extends Object", hoping that would solve the problem; got the same thing. I've searched with google on why I can't use dispatchEvent on objects or classes not extending anything, but it only came up with how to use dispatchEvent with the usual MovieClip or Sprite tutorial.

Just wonder if I can reference entry point object from any place in the app? Is it maybe assigned to some global object, like stage is for example? Currently I use static methods and variables, but this breaks encapsulation.

how I would go about creating a new instance of a class that inherits from the MovieClip class. Rather, I know how to adjust linkage properties inside the library, and can create new instances that way.... but my main problem is that a good number of times I find I want to create a new instance using the Constructor function, which is chock full of parameters that I use inside the class. I currently have a class called MenuButton, and if I use Linkage properties, I can make it all work just fine... But I also have a class called Menu, which arranges those MenuButtons... by creating them using MenuButton's Constructor. According to my code, these instances are created... but they are not visible and do not show up in the debugger.

I am having problems storing an array of objects, all of which are the same custom class in an LSO and then reloading that array from the LSO without losing the class type of the objects in the list.
I know how to store a single object of a custom class and load it withe the correct class type using the registerClassAlias() function, but I cannot seem to apply this to arrays of objects.
I am trying to save an array called messageList. Each element is a custom class GameMessage with a property called gameLevel. After I load the LSO I am trying to do something like
trace("0th message is from level " + GameMessage(messageList[0]).gameLevel);
And I am getting an exception of like this:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@90fdfa1 to GameMessage.
I have registered the GameMessage class using
registerClassAlias("GameMessage", GameMessage);
and everything works if rather than a list of messages I try and save/load a single message.

In my project I have to classes that inherit the MovieClip class. Then I create a movie clip and in the library I click on linkage and I set on AS2 class field the name of the first class. Inside this movie a create another movie clip and I set his AS2 class to the second class. The problem is, when I run the file the properties of the nested movie clip are not available for the parent. What a mean is that in the constructor of the first class I cannot acces the methods of the nested movie clip. Somehow I need the nested movie clip to be initialized first and then the parent.

I'm working with an ActionScript Classes file for some MovieClip buttons to animate In and Out. Everything is working the way it should but I would like the button to stay indicated once clicked on and then animate out once a new button is selected. The way I set it up in the past isn't very efficient and the next project I'm working on is going to be a lot of buttons. Trying to learn something more efficient.
Here is the AS class code:
class ButtonClass extends MovieClip {
public function ButtonClass() {
this.onRollOver = this.Over;
this.onRollOut = this.Out;
} private function Over() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Over");
} private function Out() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}}
And then for the MC button in the FLA:
b1.btnMC.btnText.text = "PORTFOLIO";
b2.btnMC.btnText.text = "CONTACT";

I'm developing my first flash app. I'm trying to use classes because they'll be very important in my future app. I created a simple movieclip with a star. However, instead of putting it directly on the stage, I'm calling it from library, using the addChild method to place the star in the stage. To do that, I simple right click over the movieclip icon->properties->check export to action script->and I give a name to the class (for example: myMC)
Then, inside the class I wrote:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class myMC extends MovieClip {
var star:myMC=new myMC();
public function myMC() {
[Code] .....
As I am placing the two variables origin_x and origin_y inside the constructor, I'm expecting to get 250 and 200 respectively. After drop the star, I want to send it to it's original place, and that's why I need to keep this values. And here's the problem, origin_x and origin_y are both ZERO, instead of 250 and 200... The value is not relative to stage. I managed a little bit and I found this post : [URL]. Unfortunately I tried to replace by the suggested code, but both values remain zero. An interesting thing, is that if I put the star directly in the stage instead of calling it from the library as I am doing, I get correct values in origin_x and origin_y.

I have a Flash file for an xml driven menu. There is the document Class, called Main. There is also a Navigation class. In the Navigation class, I position the location of main buttons and sub menu buttons for the menu. I want to position the buttons in the Navigation class relative to the stage. Currently, they are just fixed at certain positions (like 20); To do this, I have read that because this is not happening in the document class.
I must add an event listener to the constructor that listens for the added to stage event. I am not sure how to do this, as when I try and add an event listener for added to stage in the Navigation class nothing happens, (or all menu items diaspear). How to position movie clips relative to the stage (i.e. stage.stageWidth - 50) from a class that is not document class? How to do so in the document class, too.

I've got 3 coloured balls and 3 zones which any of the balls can be dropped in. The idea is that once a ball is placed in a zone, it stays in that zone and no other ball can be added to that zone until the current ball is removed.
I've got to a point so that any ball can be placed in any zone. However, the problem is there seems to be some hierarchy with regards to the balls. ball0_mc seems to be the chief ball, and will replace any of the other two balls if there placed in a zone, instead of snapping back to it's original position because the zone is full. ball0_mc also can't be replaced by any of the other balls if its placed in a zone. ball1_mc is the next one down the line and when in a zone, can be replaced by ball0_mc if its dragged over it, but it cannot be replaced by the third and final ball2_mc. ball2_mc seems to be the runt of the pack and can be replaced by either of the two other balls when its in a zone and cannot replace any of the other balls when they're in a zone.
Hope you're still with me?! So, what I'd like to do is make it so each ball is equal, so when any ball is placed in a zone, it can't be replaced with another ball until the current ball has been removed...and they live happily ever after in the land of ballshire.
Here's my code. I've created two classes, one linked to the movie clip balls called 'Ball', and another called 'EgoGame' which is being used as the document class for the main .fla file.

I have a library symbol, exported for Action-Script and to Frame1. Now in the document Class, i write
public class Test
{
public function Test():void
{
[Code]....
Now the code works fine but when i write my own (sealed/fixed) Box Class that surely Extends MOVIE-CLIP, statement-2 gives error , i know the Box Class is not dynamic but the Movie-Clip is Dynamic. Now what i understand that Movie-Clip Class being dynamic becomes fixed/sealed when it is extended by any Fixed/sealed Class???

can you declare multiple classes and then register each movieclip from the library to a different class? It isnt working for me.I created two different classes and created two entire different movieClips and registered each movie clips to a different class.However, I can only use on movieClip at a time, when I use the duplicateMovieClip... command to create copies of the movieclip, i find that only those movieclips, whose class i declared first, appear on stage.

The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.

I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?
