ActionScript 3.0 :: Decorator Pattern And Loading In From Library?
Nov 25, 2009
I've been following this tutorial:
[URL]
And so far everything is working. However, I want my Concrete class to load in an item from the library (basically the graphic for that item). This works fine when just loading in the Concrete class, but as soon as I add a decorator the graphic disappears, and I'm not sure why.
The code so far is:
My Abstract Class
Code:
package todd.flashBook.navigation{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class navButton extends MovieClip{

i'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.

I modified a 3D spinning carousel that loads images by an external XML file to give it a 2D circle look. Then I took out all the code for the movement so it would remain stationary, but kept the code to adjust radius etc.This is great, except now the client would like the icons to be displayed in a spiral instead of a circle. I'm not the greatest when it comes to mathWhat do I need to change or add etc in order to get the images to display in a spiral (say starting in the middle and spiraling out clockwise)? Do I need to add more math in the sin and cos parts? or maybe there is a much simpler way to do this?In the flash file, I have a 600x600 pixel stage with this code on the first frame:
Code:
var numOfItems:Number;
var radiusX:Number = 200;

I'm using the new Flex 4.5 (and the flashbuilder 4.5) at this moment.I have a list that I displays all my parameters and standard(first time you start the application) they have a gray V as decorator.When I was developping in Flex Hero I've made that if I clicked the item the gray V was replaced by a green one.Now in Flex 4.5 the same code doesn't work.The strange thing is When I go to my previous view and then go back to my list with my arameters he does change those who were clicked. I also use setStyle and change the color to red if it's clicked and this works, but changing the decorator doesn't.I made a small example to show:

I'm still learning how to compile with the Flex SDK. And I'm learning how to use SWC files and [EMBED] statements to pull my assets into my application.With the Flash IDE, I can link a library asset to a class and it's automatically embedded into my custom class. So that's 1 asset in 1 class. With the Flex SDK and SWC files, it seems I can only* pull in assets at the variable level, so I end up with my custom classes containing yet another class -- this means I have an extra wrapper/decorator (whatever you want to call it) class that I didn't have when using the Flash IDE.Is this what people typically do? Doesn't that seem superfluous?I've read Colin Moock's 'Essential Actionscript 3.0', where he mentions something about embedding a SWF at class-level as binary data.

I've been quite frustrated over a very simple flash program I have, where I try to use code to add an item from the library to the stage. I've attached the .fla file. The errors I'm getting are: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: playerShip. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method playerShip.

{
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new Tree();
empty.addChild(myMovieClip);
}
i want to know how am i able to load a flash movie clip from my current library into my stage with using a button via flash action script 2.
since im using other codes in action script 2 i can not cancel them and i really need to load a movie clip in my AS2 FLA.

I'll do my best to keep this question as short as possible:
I've made 5 'fruit' movieclips and they're in my library.
And using so.addVariable("getNumber", "003"); in my HTML code, I'd like those particular fruit movieclips to play one after the other (and then loop).
I've had a look around for something similar, without luck, so I'm trying to make it from scratch. I got as far as getting it to load the first number and then the first type and url, but I'm stuck on getting to go onto the next type, also being able to define (with addVariable) which number's nodes gets played.
Here's an example of my XML to show the structure.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<list>
<number="001" >

I need to load a movie clip to the stage from the library. I also need that movie clip to load with a certain string of actionscript code in it. To load the movie clip, i checked the "export for actionscript" thing in the "linkage" section of the movie clip info, and i named the class "sol1"
I then used this code on the first (and only) frame: Code: _root.attachMovie("sol1", "NewInstanceName", {_x: 50, _y: 100}); It seems to work, but the question is, how do i load the movie clip with code in it?

I have built a flash animation (for a web site) that requires a number of decent quality JPG images. I don't display all of these at the start, so I don't want to wait for them all to load before starting the animation. Thus I want to be able to load these images in the background - the obvious process would involve MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method. This works fine if I am loading into an INSTANCE of a moveclip (either existing on the stage or one that I creat in actionscript) - but I really want to load into a library movieclip.
The problem is that I end up using these images in two different movies on the stage - each pulls from a movieclip in the library (that contains the image I want). So my original thought was simply to load (using loadClip()) into the library movie - which in turn would show up in the two stage movieclips that have this library clip in the timeline. However, I cannot seem to get loadClip() to work with a library object.
I tried exporting the library movieclip to actionscript (giving it a name) - but loadClip() doesn't seem to want to load into it. I can only get loadClip() to load into an instance that exists on the stage.Sorry if I am asking a stupid question - I don't do a lot of flash programming - although I have extensive programming experience in other languages.

I searched previous posts last week about this and learned that I can load a movie clip from the library in a blank mc holder similar to how I load an exernal swf. But so far that code is not working for me. I also need a way to close/make invisible the clip on user clicking an X. I have a page with about 6 key words over which I will place invisible buttons. First button instance is named compworkBtn. I have a blank mc on the stage, name of mcLoadertop. My mc I want to play is in the library and named compworkMC. I read that I need to set the properties to export and I have done this (picture attached for compworkMC).
[Code]....
Then I want the user to click on the X or close button and it goes away. I thought the easiest thing for this work be to program the Close button itself to drive the MC to a frame that had no content. It will still be there, of course, but not be visible. Then the user would click on the next key word and the next MC will load. Not sure that is a good solution though, because they will both still be there. So, I'd like a suggestion for another solution to unload the first mc and load the second one. I have done a similar thing with external swfs, but I will need a close button instance for each of the unloads, right?

I have several buttons that on mouse over will load a library movie clip. I want that movieclip to load on top of everything then once it's played allow me to either replay that movieclip by hovering over the button again or play a different movieclip by hovering over another button etc etc. with the ability to repeat this.
My code below currently loads my movieclip on top in hte corerct place however wont allow me to hover over another button and only plays once: var my_packages_mc:MovieClip = new packages_mc();var my_treatments_mc:MovieClip = new treatments_mc();

Have buttons on the stage that when clicked, load a mc from the library into an empty mc on the stage. If another button is clicked, the loaded mc fades out, then a new mc from the library fades in. I've got it working for external .swf's loading, but I'd like to use mc's from the library.I think I need to use a attachMovie in there, but not sure how.
ActionScript Code:
var LoadMe = "";// this is just a var to store the page you want to load
// --- >> EXAMPLE FRAME CODING FOR A MC BTN
_root.homeBtn.onRelease = function() {

I'm currently having trouble with the file size of my latest project. This due to the file size of certain movie clips in my library. This obviously causes a long preloading time.
To get round this I thought I could load these movie cilps when I need them so the user can proceed normally until they appear. These movie clips have a linkage with 'Export for Actionscript' selected but I haven't selected 'Export in first frame' because I want to export it later when they're needed.
how to ignore loading these movie clips until I tell Flash I want them loading. Bearing in mind these aren't external .swf's.

i am trying to load movieclips from the library using an array. I have manage to load a single movieclip using
var myArray:Array=[];
myArray[1]=imagex1;
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[1];
addChild(mc);
but now I've tried using a loop by doing
var myArray:Array=[];
for(var i:uint = 0; i < 8; i++){
myArray[i]="imagex"+i;
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[i];
addChild(mc);
}
and i get the error:

I've been learning AS3 for a while now, and it's my first Actionscript language, but not my first coding language. I've learned a lot so far, but I started off doing things in the not so efficient, or correct ways. I was putting all of my actionscript on frames. I'm trying to get in the habit of doing it the right way now. But I'm having a basic problem. I can't figure out how to load a bitmap from the library in AS3.

I have a series of movies in my library (called page1, page2, page3... page87) and I'm looking to load the first one into a blank movie (called pageHolder).Using 'next' and 'previous' buttons, I then want to unload and load the next in the series of 'pages'. I'm trying to work out the best way to do this using addChild and removeChild, but not having much luck. I've read that the best way to do this entire sequence is to set up an array, but I have no previous experience with arrays.

I am trying to load a movieclip from the library onto my stage. But the name of the movieclip is read in from a user-entered text field. Typically, to load a movieclip from the library named, Bee, I would do the following:
var mc:MovieClip = new Bee; // this works.
But the name of my symbol is in a TextField. The following do not work:
// Attempt #1:
var mc:MovieClip = new userfield_txt.text; // No Good
// Attempt #2:
var str:String = userfield_txt.text;
[code]....
I realize the new operator requires a Class data-type, so how do I get the value stored in a String or TextField into a Class type?
