ActionScript 3.0 :: Constructor Argument For Instance Already On Stage

Mar 4, 2010

I have a Sprite in my library that is linked to a class (lets call it SomeClass), and i put on stage in Flash, and name the instance someClass. In my Main.as i then write:
var myClass:SomeClass = this.someClass;
SomeClass.as has a constructor with the same name as the class, however it require an argument. How do I pass that to the class when I made an instance of it directly in Flash by dragging it to the stage? (instead of the usual ... = new SomeClass(arg); )

I tried something like this:
myClass.SomeClass(arg);
But that gives me this error:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method SomeClass through a reference with static type SomeClass.

If I do var s:SomeClass = SomeClass("test");, it tries to convert a string to SomeClass. How do I prevent it from doing that?

Actionscript 3 :: Constructor To Assign Instance Name From Super Constant When Adding Instance In Flash IDE?

Jun 17, 2010

I have a library object (SomethingMC) which extends a custom class (Something). Something, in turn, extends MovieClip.If adding SomethingMC to the stage within Flash CS3 IDE, is it possible for it's super class (Something) to assign an instance name from a class constant (Something.THE_CONSTANT)?

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].....

The above does not work. It throws Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified. if the instance is assigned a name in the IDE, and it just doesn't work if no name is assigned in the IDE.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Class Instance Without Calling Constructor?

Feb 11, 2011

Is it possible to create an instance of a class without triggering the class' constructor?[code]In the case above, say I wanted to play around with a Foo instance, but I really don't want my global.foobarCount going up, nor do i want to pass in any value at all for bar.This could be useful for introspection where you want to learn more about or pass a particular class object but don't want to provide required arguments or trigger anything that the constructor may do.Is this at all possible? (Obviously, new Foo() just doesn't cut it here, since it would throw and arguments error, nor does just using Foo, since that's a reference to the class itself).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tiding Instance Variables With Constructor Arguments?

Jan 28, 2010

I know what instance variables, contractor methods, local variables and constructor arguments are (I think) but I'm confused as to when or how to use them, for instance I have use this a lot and I don't really understand why it is used like this...

[AS] package standard.testing {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.greensock.*;

[code]....

Why create a function with arguments...

[AS]public function tweenMe(mc:MovieClip, xPos:Number, yPos:Number)[/AS]

Then create instance variables...

[AS]
public var _mc = MovieClip;
public var _xPos= Number;
public var _yPos = Number
[/AS]

then create local variables with the values of the arguments

[AS]
_mc = mc;
_yPos = yPos;
_xPos = xPos;[/AS]

Actionscript 3 :: Automate Property Assignment To New Instance From Arguments In Constructor

Apr 8, 2010

I like finding out about tricky new ways to do things. Let's say you've got a class with a property that gets set to the value of an argument in the constructor, like so:[code]That's not exactly a hassle. But imagine you've got... I don't know, five properties. Ten properties, maybe. Rather then writing out each individual assignment, line by line, isn't there a way to loop through the constructor's arguments and set the value of each corresponding property on the new instance accordingly? I don't think that the ...rest or arguments objects will work, since they only keep an enumerated list of the arguments, not the argument names - I'm thinking something like this would be better:[code]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Custom Class Instance Doesn't Recognize Own Constructor

I'm having a problem with customized Actionscript objects not recognizing thier own constructor. This is the pertinant part of my script:

Clearly, the variable "testLine", is one of my custom "Line" objects. Clearly, it has been made with the "Line" constructor. So why won't flash acknowledge this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Access Stage In Flash Constructor

Sep 23, 2010

I have encountered a problem when I need to load a third-party flash in to my flash. The flash is written in an erroneous way, it access stage in the main class constructor. I know that a display object can not access to stage property until it is added to stage, and certainly can not access to stage in its main class constructor. I observe 2 cases:
- If the flash run STANDALONE, it run well: I don't know why stage is assign before its constructor
- If the flash is LOADED by my flash, it yield null reference exception as expected
In the second case, if the third-party class remain unchanged, is there a workaround that load flash?

I have tried MovieClip(root).instancename, root.instancename and even tried adding an event listener to listen when the movie is done loading because I thought maybe it was because the instances on the stage weren't created before the constructor is ran. This is the main class, shouldn't it be easy?
