ActionScript 3.0 :: Link To A Class File From The Timeline Rather Than Using The Document Class?
Aug 21, 2009Is there a way to link to a class file from the timeline rather than using the Document Class? (I tried using the document class but it messed up because of the nested movie clips and stuff like that... so I need another way)

Feb 4, 2012This is probably something basic, but I was wondering how you can access the document class and its children through a frame on movie clip's timeline.
I tried root.<object I am looking for> and stage.<object I am looking for> but neither seem to work.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Document Class Vs Instantiating From Timeline
Dec 30, 2008When I set the following class as my document class it works (draws a rectangle) but when I don't set it as my document class and instead instantiate it using var myRec:simple_shape = new simple_shape(); in first frame of my timeline nothing happens no rectangle and no error either). why and how I can get it to work without setting it as my document class?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Is Document Class Same As Main Timeline
Dec 26, 2009I've been working on flash CS3 for some time now and have learnt a lot in actionscript 3. However, I still have some very simple doubts which I want to clear:
1) Is the Document Class same as the Main Timeline?
2) If we type "trace(this)" in the actions panel on the main Timeline, it gives "object MainTimeline", is this what is the document class because there is nothing else as the mainTimeline Class.
3) If we type "stop()" in the main timeline, it stops the movie. Where does stop() belong, I mean, it is the method of which class?
4) Sometimes, when within a class or a movie clip, something like "root.gotoAndPlay" doesn't work while "MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay()" works. Another example is when we try accessing a child of a movieClip by using getChildAt(i), "MC1.getchildAt(i).play()" does not work and we have to write "MovieClip(MC1.getchildAt(i)).play();

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Combining Document Class With Timeline Code?
Jan 6, 2010I've written a game in Flash using timeline code like this:On the main timeline:
Code:
stop();
include "includes/mySourceCode.as";
init();
Then,in mySourceCode.as I have a set of functions (including init(), of course).I know this technique of coding is frowned upon by many,but it was what I learned when I started out with Flash and it has always worked well for me. It also means I don't usually have to bother with importing classes to make most methods work as I guess they are all 'built in' to the main timeline already.
The problem I have now is that I have got the game sponsored, and the sponsor needs me to include his preloader, which is a document classfile.So I have his preloader working, and once loaded it tells the main timeline to proceed to the next frame, where I have my usual code as above - which now doesn't work.Firstly, it can't find my include files because it is now looking in the document class folder instead of the main .fla folder it usually looks in.Secondly, once I have moved my include files to the same folder as the document class, it gives me around 70 errors about undefined properties and methods, and things not being'compile time constants' whatever that means.
I am guessing that for some reason, since there is now a document class, Flash is no longer importing all the classes it usually does automatically for me - so could it be that I need to go through my whole game and figure out the class import paths for all the methods I have used? Or is there an easier way to get my code working how it was before without having to change it? If I do impoort all the right classes, should it work then or will I still face problems?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Document Class Function Within Timeline
Oct 10, 2010have a very simple question, (Bear with me I'm still quite new to as3 and some of my terminology may not be solid) I want to access a function that is within my document class when a movie clip on the timeline has played to a specific point (being the end). I have already been able to call another function from the document class at the top/root level (it is called to initialize all clips and buttons when you click on the "enter" button on the splash screen. Problem is that I cannot call another function (in the document class) from a movie clip within a movie clip on the timeline. Is there an easy way to do this? I have considered writing a separate class for the movie clip and then adding it onto the movie clip (using the property panel). I don't really want to do it this way because I am already using a base class on that movie clip and 3 others that use a set of generic functions.

Flash :: Differences Between Code In The Timeline And Using A Document Class?
Mar 9, 2011I had some code directly in the timeline that accessed/modified properties of some movie clips.
I then did the proper thing and moved the code to a Document class. I put the code that was formerly in the timeline into the document class constructor.
The issue I'm having is that if I access the movie clip properties "too soon" it reports that they are null. If I put the code in a timer event callback for half a second or so, or put an addFrameScript call with a frame of around 8 or higher, the movie clip references are valid and it all works.
So for some reason by the time the code in the timeline gets called all of the movie clip instances are valid. However, when inside of a document class constructor, they are not. I've tried using the ENTER_FRAME event callback but the movieclips still aren't ready.
The code is supposed to change some movie clip properties based on some loaderinfo parameters, so I do kind of need to set those properties before anything starts animating.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access The Smoothing Property Of The PNG Images Within WindowHider's Timeline, From The Document Class?
Mar 20, 2010I have a MovieClip in my library called WindowHider. The timeline for WindowHider contains a frame-by-frame animation that is made up of individual PNG images that I imported. Each of the 10 or so PNG images sits on it's own frame within WindowHider.I can successfully create an instance of WindowHider within my Document class and add it to the display list.
Question: Is it possible to access the smoothing property of the PNG images within WindowHider's timeline, from the Document class? The WindowHider class is animated and rotates, thus the pixels show and the image is jagged. I know if I could access the smoothing property it would solve the issue.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Unable To Control The Root Timeline From A Class?
Sep 1, 2009I've been trying to switch from AS2 to AS3 by forcing myself to use AS3 on every project and never revert to AS2 no matter what the problem may be. Doing this, I've learned a lot so far, and it has shown me that AS3 has the potential to be much more logical and easier to manage, but every once in a while I run into a problem in which research doesn't prevail.
At the moment I'm working on a project that uses the Union Platform. My goal is to make all control over User1's "Reactor" API managed by a single class.
Anyways, I've ran into a very limiting problem that I can't seem to get by. I can't figure out a way to call the root object and be able to call it's functions from a class!
Here's one of the methods that I've tried (No errors were reported, but it did not work) -
main.as:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import net.user1.reactor.Reactor;
[Code]...
As you can see, I tried to pass "this" as a MovieClip in hopes that I would be able to use the MovieClip's class functions. (Which is most likely very nooby and completely wrong since it's probably not considered a MovieClip reference, but what do I know?) Everything is fine, except the swf does not go to frame 2 when readyListener() is called. No errors are outputted either.

I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work.
