ActionScript 3.0 :: Defining A Property Without The Instance Being In The Movie?
Dec 16, 2009
I'm a bit on the novice side of AS3 and am struggling away. I have one major issue which I cannot fathom.I have two swf's which I am loading into a flip book. They will both on the stage at the same time one on each side of the book. I want one to control the other. The issue is when I try to set up functions in one to control objects in the other I get and error about undefined properties. I assume this is because the objects I am referencing are not in the movie where the function lies. And vice versa, when I set up the functions in the movies when the objects are I get an error as the buttons are not defined as they are in the other swf.

I am trying to figure out how to reference something thatappears later in the timeline with Actionscript on the firstkeyframe without receiving run time errors such as "undefined", or"null references". Trying to define the objects using references(ie. var myMC:MovieClip) doesn't seem to cut it. Short of placingitems on the first keyframe and then pushing them off the stage outof view, I have yet to find an elegant solution for this

I�m planning to make a magazine in Flash, and I would have to load several pages of it in order. But I�d like to put the buttons forward and previous on the main movie and make then load each page in a container.Is there a way to set variables for each page so the main movie "knows" what movie is loaded at the moment and what page it has to load next.

is there any way, within a class definition, to access the instance name of the class?as in, say you have a class "playerObject", and you instantiate an instance of it like usualplayer:playerObject = new playerObject();is there an inbuilt property or variable i can access within the playerObject class code to return "player"?if, in the constructor, i trace(this) it returns [object Object], i tried things like this.name, this._name etc, of course they didnt work...

I have a problem with the piece of code that's been annoying me for a week. It should be very simple but all my attempts at a solution somehow seem to get thwarted by an invisible hand that wants me to fail.Here is the scenario: I am trying to create an image strip consisting of image thumbnails. When one mousovers each image it should print its information (say a name) in a textfield.I created an image container class that loads the images through a url request, then an image strip class that receives an array with image names and urls and displays them in a row. So far so good.
However when it comes to showing the info I have no clue how to address which image is being pointed at. I put a variable called imageIndex inside my imageContainer object, then put all the created containers in imageStrip's for-loop inside an array called mgContainerArray. I created a for loop in my fla that goes through this array and assigns all those containers a mouseover event listener. What I'm stumped with is that there is no way I can access the imageIndex variable from my function to tell the code which image is currently being mouseovered. It keeps giving me an error.Here is the code:
Code:
for(var i:Number=0; i<myImageStrip.imgContainerArray.length;i++){
myImageStrip.imgContainerArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,

I don't understand this:
1. I have a class, UIMain, which extends MovieClip
2. There is an instance of UIMain on frame 2, with instance name of "main"
3. Document class contains:
ActionScript Code: public var main:UIMain; 3. I put this on frame 2 as a frame script: ActionScript Code: trace(main) I get null. Why? How can I fix this?

Im dynamically creating an instance of a movieclip, call it a game piece. This game piece has 4 frames, each with a movieclip called base(although one is red, one blue, one green, one yellow). When the game piece is created I set the frame to indicate player color. Im also changing the alpha of base to 1.0 when its being dragged, 0.5 when its dropped.
Using the following code, everything works fine if the game piece color is set to the base in frame 1 (red). If the game piece is created and the timeline moved to a frame other than 1, I throw an error when trying to access base.alpha (this would be the second, third, and fourth instances of base in the game piece timeline). Heres the strange part, this is only a problem when the game piece is first created and added to the display list. Once created, even after the error has been thrown, I can access the alpha of bases 2, 3, and 4 in the drag start/stop listeners. Heres a link to the work in progress, and the relevant sections of code (shortened for brevity, t1 is the top left piece on the pallet, others just repeat the same code):[URL]

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]

I narrowed the causes of an AS3 compiler error 1119 down to code that looks similar to this:
var test_inst:Number = 2.953;
trace(test_inst);
trace(test_inst.constructor);
I get the error "1119: Access of possibly undefined property constructor through a reference with static type Number." Now if I omit the variable's type, I don't get that error:
[Code]...
So what's the deal? I like explicitly typing variables, so is there any way to solve this error other than not providing the variable's type?

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'm trying to work on my first flash game but I'm already having problems making my character move.I'm currently following this tutorial:However, when I try to test my game, I get an error saying:"Access of undefined property player_mc"In the scene, I have a square MovieClip called "player" and when you select it, in its properties I have given it the instance name "player_mc".However I still get the error. So I decided to change the object's name to "player_mc" as well but that still gives me the error. I don't understand why this isn't working.According to this, it's just to do with spell-checking... but yeah, I looked through my code and the objects and it's all "player_mc".

I made a button and what I want it to do when I click on it, is to take me from the instance it's located, into another instance.
Like I have this: Scene 1> Frame 1 with instance in it - and Frame2 with another instance in it.
Scene 1> Frame 1 starts playing the first instance (which has the button it in) and then from that instance - I want to go to the second instance which is in Scene1 Frame2.

how to get rid of an instance of a movie clip in the following Scenario. I have tried several methods, e.g., setProperty _visible to false, and the setProperty _scale to 0 (below). But none of these methods really get rid of instance; it merely hides them.
if (_root.yellow, hitTest(_root.wall)) {
speedx = 0;
speedy = 0;
