ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A New Instance And Color?
Oct 14, 2010
I'm currently working on a little practice .fla file I've been working on. What I have now is an altered version a 'game' I made recently. I wanted to see if it was possible to create a new instance and color by having the user drag the object into the black (target) area. In short I want the user to drag one of my shapes (movieclips) and while keeping the original shape in place, move the copy version into the target and have the copy change to a different random color. Attached is a copy of my file.
Here is code I have thus far, I have tried a few options but they seem to throw off my application.
var counter:Number = 0;
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveObject);
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,releas eObject);
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,move Object);

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?
I have 2 instances of a button wich is red and has a white label I have to edit the buttons so one button is red, and the other is green I was doing this, but when applied Also the title of label goes green instead of being white...
I've got a world map with an instance name of map_mc. Inside map_mc, every country is a movieclip object. So for example, the United States is a movieclip. I'm using the GreenSock tint plugin (TweenPlugin.activate([TintPlugin]) to color transition the countries from white to red.
Here's my goal:
I want to randomly color transition (using Tint) every country from white to red over 20 seconds.
Here's my issue:
Is there a way to do this without having to give each movieclip an instance name, creating an array and randomizing the array. Is there a simple loop I could create that color transitions every movieclip object inside map_mc?
how to reduce or brighten a color by for instance 10% in AS? Example: i have this color 0x3399FF (some blue) and i want do do something like this newColor = BrightenColor(0x3399FF) // call function BrightenColor and it return the new color and the newcolor well be the same blue but 10 more brighter
I've got a map, of those you roll over the mouse on the sections and it displays the section name.I want to add to these code, the instance of changing the colour of the section, so sections are more visible each time you move your mouse over the map.[code]...
var page1:Branch = new Branch(); page1.y = 124; addChild(page1);
I want to have the value "page1" to be dynamic, along with "Branch". Since there's a number of templates (up to 20), Branch is one of the templates. So it would be nice to use one instance creator. Also, I'm not sure how to get "page1" to be a dynamic value.
The closest to this that I've been able to find is:
star1sp.addChild(this["star"+star1Num]);
except that it doesn't fully address what I want to do. I tried adding in a bunch of "this[load_page]" and "this["page"+curpage]" to my code but had no success. I'm still on the prowl for the answer but wanted to put this out there. It's something I've tried to figure out for some time.
Is it possible to create an instance of the main MXML and use it inside the ActionScript class.public var obj:classname= new classname();When i try to call a components id through obj.textfieldID... it does not..
I am having some problems with creating different instance of the same class in as2..Pretty sure this should work in as3, so I'm not sure exactly.[code] I thought using the new keyword should create a new object independent of other instances..unless constructors are static in as2 and i just didn't know it.
I'm trying to create a for loop to set the color objects outlineColor1...100 to the value defined in variable _root.outlineCol. Everything works fine when I set the color to these objects via 100 lines of code but I'd like to replace them with a for loop of course. I suspect the syntax in the first part of the second line is incorrect but I'm not sure.
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= 100; i++) { outlineColor[i].setRGB(_root.outlineCol); trace(i); }
When I try to create a new instance of a class that I created from a symbol in the library, I get a 1010 (A term is undefined and has no properties) error. I gave it a class name in it's linkage properties and it extends MovieClip. Is there anything else that I'm supposed to do? Maybe it's a syntax error when I'm creating an new instance of the class. It used just like any other class or datatype, right?
I've always wrote all my code into the .fla and now I'm trying to use classes more. I have my file loading the document class. Then the document class imports two additional classes. In my constructor of the document class I am creating a new instance of both additional classes. Here is my doc class:
[Code]...
Now inside of the other two classes I should be able to just use main_class.myFunc(); Correct? Why isn't is working? How can I interact classes? If I create a new instance to the class I want to access then I get a stack over flow error. Inside remoting class in the constructor my code; main_class = new CheckoutMain(); main_class.myFunc();
Topic title explains what i want to do. Say I have a variable roomNumber (a string) and in a game where i move about, roomNumber will change (say, room34 to room35). When a new room is visited i want a new instance of my class Room to be created, but with the instancename of what the variable currently is. (point is that i can go back to a previous room, without it being changed because the instance has already been created) so... roomNumber:RoomClass = new RoomClass(); well, it unfortunately works so that the new instance is named roomNumber, and not room34.
Im new to packages and Im having trouble creating and instance of something threw an .as file. The object is located in the library and exported for action script. Also the FLA's class is set to the .as file. Here's the code from the .as file.
I have to do this drawing application, and I want to integrate almost as much colors as Flash has, in it's standard swatch picking thingy, i.e 18x12 = 216 swatches. In other words, A LOT of them The only idea I've come up with is creating an array of colors, but...this requires me to note down 216 different hexa codes and then writing them into an array. I may be lazy, but this sounds really tedious and annoying, really.
I am building a simple tamagotchi - alike application in AS2 and Flash is acting kind of weird on me. Lets say i have a .fla file with all my animations called Kitty.fla, then I have an external .as file called Kitty.as which contains a Kitty class with the itty(attribut i need to give it) function.On the 1st frame on the timeline i have the following:var kitty:Kitty = new Kitty('my attribute');when compiling the movie, flash automatically creates an instance of Kitty but WITHOUT my attribute (its given a default value specified in the code) and then proceeds with the instance according to what i wrote above. So at the end i basically end up with two kitties, one with default attribute and second with the attribute specified by me, while I only need the one with the specified attrribute
in my project i call the "animateLeft" function like 50 times, it makes a lot of tweens, but now it create new tweens every time the function is called, witch is not memory effective? Are there a way to declar the tween once, "var cTween0:GTween = new GTween();" and then just edit the tween insted of creating a new one?
have a imageHolder_mc wich is calling the image from the local drive / server, and this container is inside of PictureHold_mc and that inside of Image01_btn.image01_btn.pictureHold_mc.imageHold01_mcand all this for 1 image tobe displayed in the website. But I am going to have something like 300. This is for example HomePage to ProductPage to SpecificIndividualProduct.I have created an instance but DO I NEED TO DUPLICATE ALL _btn and _mc all the way down? Or is there any better ways.And next question. I have done Home Page with 18 images called from the local drive but despite of Preloader showing 100% loaded page look empty for about 30 sec. and suddenly all images starts popping out ramdomly.
