I am having problem making classes to communicate. I have main class which loads external swf that contains one image at this time. I want to change alpha for that image using button (created from library) from main swf. Don't know how, various methods I tried gave various error messages.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to call a function from a class that I've instantiated on the main timeline from another class that I've also instantiated on the timeline.The function I'm trying to call adds a line to a string that acts as a game terminal so that even if the game glitches for someone without the source code, it would be possible to read the variable changes and functions called. (it also doubles up as an input for unlocking characters and levels that are otherwise hidden)Main Timeline:

I've tried both "flash.display.DisplayObject.stage" and "this.parent.parent" here after discovered that "_root" has been removed and "root" doesn't work in the same way.
I have been struggling with what seems to be simple concept in ActionScript 3.0 - how to communicate between classes. I have a very simple experiment with two movieclips on the stage. They are named YellowBox and RedBox in my library. I have linked the following code to the YellowBox movieclip:
package{ import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class YellowBox extends MovieClip { public function YellowBox() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverHandler); } public function rollOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { this.x = x + 3; } }}
What I would like to do is call the YellowBox() function on my RedBox MovieClip with the following code:
package{ import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class RedBox extends MovieClip { public function RedBox() { YellowBox(); } }}
I get the following message when I compile: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1.
How do I let a custom classes know, what I've done at other classes,so that it would run an action accordingly?a function in the button classes:

I have a custom keyboard class. The second class is having a textBox as its child and my custom keyboard's object as child. When the key in the custom keyboard is clicked, how can i update the value in the text box?
View 4 RepliesBasically, I have a menu system for a website that is built on a three tier hierarchy. onclick event handlers load movieclips which contain the next submenu in my menu system. Each menu and sub menu is a series of movieclips with roll over, roll out and click eventlisteners applied to them to give them button characteristics.
However, I have hit an unforseen problem. I need to be able to control all the onclick event handlers assigned to all my buttons from one place, not in lots of different movieClips. I want to be able to add and remove different website content pages in one display object or else I fear that pages will start to appear to overlap as they are added within their specific sub menu movieclips.
I guess what I am trying to say is, can I control movieClip instances that are contained within a child object from my main timeline?
I'm just starting to build my first proper OOP piece.I have on stage two manually placed MCs.One is viewer_mc:ViewerClass and one is menu_mc:MenuClass.They each have their own class and there is a document class...
PHP Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]....
So I can call the public method of either class from the other class.However, I am now trying to understand custom events and dispatching them with parameters.which uses a custom event class.This works fine when the dispatchevent and listener are both in the viewer class, but when the dispatchevent is in the viewer class, and the listener is in the menu class I can't get it to work.I suppose for my purposes I don't really need to use the custom event class, I can just call the respective classes' public functions but I just wanted to try and understand how it works.Here's the pared down version of menu class...

can someone give me an idea how I would use a function to enlarge and change the alpha of a button but make it span over a period of time like it was an animation.a long time ago on gear78.com I think he used functions to make his buttons do what they did and it was badass. if I find another site I will post a link. if you don't know what the heck I am talking about tell me and I will try and explain it more.

Devonair and Senocular for pointing me in the right direction as per porting the Flex 2 Tween classes to AS3 Flash 9.0 Public Alpha...I *think* I got the all files moved properly and all references to the mx_internal namespace and unresolvable includes commented out, but on compiling I get (among many others):
**Error** C:Documents and Settings...Local SettingsApplication DataAdobeFlash 9 Public AlphaenConfigurationClassesmxeventsTweenEven t.as: Line 11: ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs.
TweenEvent.as is is imported by Tween.as and was copied from my Flex 2 SDK. Of course, TweenEvent.as probably isn't AS2!!What does this error mean in this context?
Alternately, if anyone other than Devonair has actually transmuted the Flex 2.0 Tween class to Flash 9.0 PA and could give me a few more details I'd be grateful...
how to change the button image dynamically through AS3?
View 1 RepliesI want a button's image to change upon click, but I need it to change between two images, one of which will always be on the button. The thing is, I want a button that says either "Running" or "Stopped" (each has its own image). When I click the button when it says "Running," the button image should change to "Stopped"; when I click the button when it says "Stopped" it would change to the button image for "Running." How can I do this?

View 1 RepliesI am going to make a mc button inside of a movie clip that changes the image when ROLL_OVER and goes back to the first image when ROLL_OUT. I thought I can change the alpha of the first image (btn1) so that the second becomes visible when ROLL_OVER. But this doesn't work out. I coudn't find any fitting example for my buttons and maybe there are even better ways to change the setting.
Code:
my_mc.btn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hidebtn1);
my_mc.btn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, showbtn1);
my_mc.btn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPage2);

I'm working with Flex 3.4 SDK. I need to change the default close button image from a TitleWindow. So what I'm doing is defining a CSS selector, like this:
TitleWindow {
close-button-skin: Embed('assets/close.png');
border-color: #FFFFFF;
corner-radius: 10;
closeButtonDisabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
closeButtonDownSkin: ClassReference(null);
closeButtonOverSkin: ClassReference(null);
closeButtonUpSkin: ClassReference(null);
}
The problem is: the result image is totally squeezed beyond recognition. Probably because the image dimensions are 55x10 pixels (much wider than the default closebutton square-like dimensions) and flex forces it to fit that size.
I want an image to change when users scroll over a seperate button. Here is my code for that button:[code]The name of the image I want to change is bikebutton.
