ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Reusable Class - Package Structure?

Nov 19, 2009

I have been working on creating a package of reusable code for myself. I frequently create projects that have a set of panels, which I re-skin for each particular project, and each panel has its own body of functionality.There are about 10 different panels that could be used in a given project, but not each panel is used in every project. Some projects use 5, some use 8, some 10 etc. My problem is that when migrating the panels to a new project, I don't nessicarily want to have every single panel in the library with appropriate exports etc. if it's not going to be used in the project.

For example

PHP Code:

package panelPack {public class Main extends MovieClip{public function Main(){}public function activatePanel1():void{var panel1:Panel1 = new Panel1();}public function activatePanel2():void{var panel1:Panel1 = new Panel2();}public function acti

[code]...

Then I have something like a config class that would have code like this:

PHP Code:

activatePanel1();activatePanel3();activatePanel5(); 

Then each class is something like this, referencing a library item that is exported:

PHP Code:

package panelPack {public class Panel1 extends Panel{public function Panel1(){var closeButton:SimpleButton = this.closeB;var submitButton:SiimpleButton = this.submitB;..........}}} 
I don't have to have panel1, panel2.....panel10 in the library if i'm only activating 1, 3, and 5!If i don't have those items in the library i get all kinds of undefined properties buttons etc. Everything that in the MC that gets exported.

Flash :: ActionScript 3 Package Structure And Directory Structure

Jan 23, 2011

I seem to run into compile issues in Flash Builder when I import 3rd-party libraries at the wrong level in the directory structure. For example, sometimes I'll import a library one level too deep into its directory tree, and the package explorer ends up excluding the prefix root-level package, usually "com." or "net.". Even though the content of the source itself doesn't change, this will cause compile errors.

Thus: Is it a 1) convention or 2) language requirement that a class's package structure (e.g., "foo.bar.Class") must match its path location (e.g., foo/bar/Class.as)?
If it's a language requirement, why is it a requirement? Wouldn't that overdetermine the package structure, since it is already specified in the source code and quite happily consuming the first three to eight columns of each line? If it's not a language requirement, are my compile errors just a result of Flash Builder enforcing the convention?

Actionscript 3 :: Imports And Package Structure In Flex?

Apr 15, 2010

I've got a problem how to organise files and packages in AS3/Flex project. A short intro to the problem:

The files structure in the project is (and should stay) like this:

libs/Class1/src/<files>
libs/Class2/src/<files>
libs/Class3/src/<files>

The amxmlc compiler source-path variable points to:

libs/

I need it because I have to subclass Class1 in Class3. That pushes me to put all the classes into packages that look as weird as this:

package ClassX.src { /* ... */ }

So in practice it looks like that:

package Class3.src
{
import Class1.src.Class1; // I prefer direct imports
public class Class3 extends Class1 { /* ... */ }
}

Is there a way to keep the files/folders structure and get rid of src in the package name. Changing the files structure or direct pointing compiler into base-class directory in not an option.

I'm also keen to use the src/bin/lib folder structure within each project.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Reusable Video Player

Feb 11, 2011

So Im developping a video player that I can reuse in my projects.

The video player contains both .as files and graphical assets (buttons, loading bar, etc). And the graphical assets need to be styled for each project.

Right now the approach Im thinking of is having a base videoplayer.fla, and importing the library items into my new fla, and modifying the graphical assets manually there.

The other option Im thinking of is compiling a swc, but afaik the styling would become more complicated and more limited to colors, fonts, and such.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Main Class And Game Class Structure?

Feb 19, 2011

I´m making a game and now I wonder if it´s good practice to have a class named Main for my game. I was thinking about to have a Preloader, Console and Game classes. Now I don´t know anymore. Maybe it´s better to have a Main class that loads including a preloader, which loads Console wich loads Game.
 
That´s the better way to making a game application? I´m talking about best practices.
 
why if yes there has to be a Main class that extends Sprite?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Entire Classes Within A Package That Contains Normally In-frame Functions?

Jun 16, 2011

When I create anything in a library, it's basically a class right? Meaning I can do essentially the same thing with use of a package in an AS file? In AS 2.0 this would probably mean I can add specific functions on this class as I can do when I use flash's object interface and add script to the specific class object itself. However, in AS 3.0 you cannot attribute code directly to an object right?

This leads me to my second question. I basically want to create a flash mp3 player (I've coded this already), but make it so that it is an entire package of contents, so I can add it to my website when a mouse event is detected and then take it off the website once it's no longer needed (to conserve memory and assure an overall nice experience). The problem is that I have many objects and subsequent functions (play button, pause button, etc), and want all of this to be contained in one file. Is this even possible?

ActionScript 3.0 :: OOP Concept - Including Exits = New Array - Structure Level Class?

May 20, 2009

I'm dabbling in OOP, but I'm nowhere near proficient yet. I have two classes, house() and town(). In house's constructor, I want to define an exit from the house to town. I've set up a Doors and Exits array in the base class, and in house, I add town to it:

Doors = new Array(new trigger());
Exits = new Array(new town());

This way, I can check if the player is colliding with the trigger, and if so, I can set level to Exits[i] or wherever it is. My problem is, including Exits = new Array(new town()); in house's constructor calls town's constructor, and town has an array Exits, which leads back to house and so on. So my question is: How would I get around this problem or structure my level class? Is it possible to use "town" to get to new town(); without manually checking if("town"){ new town(); } etc. Basically, I want to tell flash to create a new town() WHEN I need it, not necessarily during the initial construction, but I don't want to have to manually call "new town();"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Applying Two Class Files From A Package

I have a photo gallery, with a thumbnail panel (a photo viewer page) that I made, coding the AS3 from the key frame. It just so happens that I saw some class files online that have some good stuff in the tutorial.I've never really worked with .as files and I am intimidated by them.Would it be easier to modify my photo gallery, with a thumbnail panel, from key frame to .as AS3 code or to go from .as to key frame code? I personally feel more comfortable with key frame AS3, but I am not scared to dabble.How can I practice adding a couple of class files to my key frame AS3 code- I'm using regular variables, but the interesting idea I saw uses private variables and public functions, and it imports some stuff?
