ActionScript 3.0 :: Super.super.someMethod() - Call A Method In The Super Class Of A Super Class?
Dec 15, 2009Is it possible to call a method in the super class of a super class? I tried the above and it doesn't work, unsurprisingly. Only way I've been able to do it is to store a reference to a super.someMethod in the super Class (eg. var superMethod: Function = super.someMethod) and call that instead. Seems reasonable and it works but wonder if there is an in-built method for doing this?

Flash :: Access Object Property Or Function On Extended Class That Isn't In The Super Class?
Jan 29, 2012If I have three classes:
public class Example {
public function Example () {
}[code]............
You can see that the two last classes extend the first one, and both have the 'variable' property. In case that I have an instance of Example and I am sure it is also an ExtendedExample OR AnotherExtendedExample instance, is there some way to access the 'variable' property? Something like
function functionThatReceivesAnExtendedExample (ex:Example):void {
if(some condition that I may need) {

ActionScript 3.0 :: A Super Class That's Runtime Shared Independent From The Class That Extends
Nov 4, 2010I'm not really asking how. What I'm asking is, is it possible? And I ask because I thought it was not - certainly it didn't work in AS2 - and yet that's what I appear to have done. Am I going crazy? Structure: A SWF (#1) with a class NewActivity that extends class AActivity. Another SWF (#2) with a shared library of code in it, including AActivity. A third SWF (#3) which loads the library followed by SWF#1. Here's what happened: I didn't expect AActivity to be able to be shared. I mean, it should be compiled no matter what in SWF#1, as SWF#1 includes a class that extends AActivity. I had added some properties to the AActivity class, ran the project, and when SWF#3 tried to set those properties I was told they couldn't be applied. "Of course", I said, "I need to recompile SWF#1, because the code is now out of date. The version of the class there doesn't include these new properties.".
However, that didn't work. I got the same problem. Maybe, I thought, there's a definition conflict between SWF#1 and the library, so I removed the AActivity class from the shared library in SWF#2 for the time being. Only SWF#1 uses it, and it should already be compiled into SWF#1 as, like I said, it is extended by another class there. But when I ran the project, I was then told that the AActivity class could not be found at all! Looking at SWF#1 in a decompiler, there is in fact no mention of AActivity (I had up to this point assumed it was implied). So this left just one option: I needed to recompile the library in the first place, not SWF#1. I added AActivity back to the library, recompiled, and it worked.
To check I wasn't going crazy: I added a test property to the AActivity class and recompiled the library. The containing project - SWF#3 - then set this property on SWF#1, which had NOT been recompiled, and then read it back out. No errors. I should point out that the getting/setting of this property is done through an IActivity interface - AActivity is not being accidentally compiled into the main project (SWF#3), and the decompiler indicates this also. Am I going nuts? I really didn't think having a runtime shared super class was possible in any way. If it is, that opens up a whole new world of awesome, even though I've created this project on the basis of that being impossible.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Sub-class Refer/communicate With Super Class?
Jun 22, 2010i have recently started a project that would require writing a set of classes and a small API.i know some basics of inheritance and extending classes but i still have some questions.
1) how should sub-class refer/communicate with super class.i think that dispatching events is the way to go but i have no experience on that. i have previously done it by having a parent set up a reference to itself in a subclass e.g
ParentClass.addChild(SubClass);
SubClass.myParent = ParentClass;
//i know that there is already a "parent" keyword in flash objects if i extend one but is that a decent way to communicate with super class
e.g SubClass.myParent.removeChild(this);//sounds a bad call
//but is it better if i dispatched an event that calls the removeChild() in the parent.i have is about dispatching events in a class that is likely going to be extended.
ActionScript Code:
public class Button
{
//add event listeners[code]....
//now if i extend the Button class into another class, let say ControllerButton and want that button to dispatch different event. e.g ControllerEvent, i am forced to override and rewrite all the common stuff in the handler functions.how to avoid having to override allot of common stuff.

Actionscript 3 :: Access A Public Property From AvEniroments Class Through The Player Class?
Nov 24, 2011I have the following inheritance structure:
var environment:AvEnvironment = new AvEnvironment(...);
addChild(environment);
environment.addChild(new Terrain());
environment.addChild(new Player());
I am trying to access a public property from AvEniroments class through the Player class, however I'm getting an undefined property error (#119). I've tried the following:
this.x = AvEnvironment.xs // public property in this class
this.x = parent.xs
I've also tried something like this:
var ev:AvEnvironment = AvEnvironment(parent);
this.x = ev.xs
but I get a TypeError. Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Actionscript 3 :: Add A Sprite From A Subclass To The Display List Of Its Super Class?
Aug 15, 2010Say i have these two classes:
MAIN.as
package
{
import flash.display.*; import mx.core.*;
import flash.events.*; import mx.collections.*;
[Code]...
Now how is it that I can add the variable SPRITE which is a Sprite in the OBJECT_square class to the display list of MAIN class? I've tried addChild(SPRITE) and super.addChild(SPRITE). If everything works I should see a red square somewhere on the screen but right now its all blank, except for the text drawn in the MAIN class.
Basically I want it so i can just make a new OBJECT_square and it will draw itself without any more instructions from the MAIN class.
Flex :: Verifying Presence Of Button From Super Component Class?
May 27, 2011In Flex, lets say I have a super-class... something like:
class SuperComponent extends DragStack {
private var _childReference:UIComponent;
public function SuperComponent() {
// ???
addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onCreationComplete);
} private function onCreationComplete(e:FlexEvent):void {
//The 'this[]' technique doesn't seem to work and causes run-time errors:
//trace("Component found: " + this["myButton"]);
}}
And then I make use of the following derived-class in my application (just a mockup MXML as an example):
<!-- Component ChildComponent.mxml -->
<mx:SuperComponent>
<mx:Button id="myButton" label="Press Me!" />
</mx:SuperComponent>
How do I go about verifying the presence of "myButton" from the SuperComponent class, and referencing it? Do I need to use getChildByName( ... ) ?

Jun 3, 2009Lets say I have the following inheritance hierarchy:
Code:

Now this is all well and good, as the call to ClassC.foo() will propogate through the inheritance chain; C > B > A. But what if I want ClassC.foo() to call foo() that is in ClassA and bypass the method call in ClassB? I have tried the following:

Jun 9, 2009I've created 2 public variables in my Document Class...
public var _wall1:Wall=new Wall();public var _wall2:Wall=new Wall();I've then added them to the stage and given them relevant instance names...
stage.addChild(_wall1);_wall1.x=32; _wall1.y=510;_wall1.name = "wall1";I then want to use these variables in another Class (Ball.as). They need to be accessed in a function within the Ball Class constructor.
function bubble(event:Event):void{if(this.hitTestObject(_wall1)){ this.x += 1;}else if(this.hitTestObject(_wall2)) { this.x -= 1;}However, the following Error message keeps appearing...
1120: Access of undefined property _wall1.1120: Access of undefined property _wall2.Any pointers? Do I need to import something into the Ball Class to point to the _wall# public variables in the Document Class?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Externally Override Public Function Of Class?
Aug 2, 2010Is it possible to externally override a public function of a class (as opposed to override via inheritance)?
For example:
Code:

I know this is possible in JavaScript and ECMAScript, but the compiler won't let me get away with this kind of mischief in ActionScript, from what I've seen: It barfs up a 1168 Illegal Assignment error as soon as I attempt to assign a new function to doFoo.
I'm thinking specifically in terms of a "hot fix" solution where you deploy a small swf that replaces a specific chunk of code in a larger application, without the need to recompile/deploy the full application (or even see the sourcecode for that matter, just know the API).
