ActionScript 3.0 :: Document Class Extends MovieClip Type Stuff
Mar 8, 2012
What I've done is I have an existing fla file I'm using on line, which I want to use a document class, something I've never done. The as file I have (using Alternativa 3D 7.8) extends movieclip - here's the basic structure:
package {
import alternativa.engine3d.containers.ConflictContainer;
import alternativa.engine3d.core.Camera3D;
import alternativa.engine3d.core.View; etc.
public class test5 extends MovieClip {
private var container:ConflictContainer;
private var cam:Camera3D; etc.
public function test5() {
// constructor code
}}}
The thing is, it works fine when I use a blank fla (class named test5) but when I apply it to my existing fla - which uses a a mile of actionscript - all of my dynamic images dissappear and I'm left with the image from my as file (test5).

If I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,
fla1.fla has a document class of MyMainClass:
public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip
fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass:
public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.

i came across this problem and i have no clue why it's happening. basically, consider 2 nested movieclips on the stage, something like stage -> main -> filler. both movieclips have instance names (main and filler).
[Code].....
this throws an error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property filler through a reference with static type A. can anyone give me a hint on that, as it works with class A, but not B extending A? i understand it was meant to work?

This is class A
Code:
class A extends MovieClip
{
public function A()
{
[Code]....
But I don't know... why extends MovieClip in this case? Because what I'm trying to do is a movieClip at the end...

If I can create dynamic variables on a MovieClip.. why would I not be able to create dynamic variables on a class that extends MovieClip?
[Code]...
I created from a mc symbol in the library. it works fine, except for adding the custom variable.. .. which I need to be able to do.

in human.as:
class human extends MovieClip {
function onEnterFrame() {
_x += 10;
}
[code]....
in my fla:
Object.registerClass(skin1, human);
_root.attachMovie("skin1", "User1", 1);
so i have an attached movieclip on _root now, i can see it but the onEnterFrame function doesn't work. Why??

Is there any way to get the name of the MovieClip that a class extends?Lets say I have an MC on stage called boxMC exported for AS using a class box which extends MovieClip.If I trace (this) within my class I will get the name of the class, if I trace (parent) I will get the name of the main MovieClip that boxMC sits within. So how can I target boxMC?Basically I want to be able to return the name of the MovieClip that the class is extending

I was just wondering if there is any easy way to extend the MovieClip class itself, without making a new class? I'd like it to be equivalent to using MovieClip.prototype ... or should I just use prototype?

I'm working on a Flash Lite 3.0 application using AS2 and I've created a class that extends MovieClip. The problem is that I'd like to dynamically add Child Movieclips using the addChild method... but it doesn't work, it gives me the following compiler error: "There is no method with the name 'addChild'". But I can call other MovieClip specific methods such as this.getNextHighestDepth()
heres a reduced version of my class:
class com.sck.DragList extends MovieClip {
//Declarations
private var placeHolder:MovieClip;
private var listMask:MovieClip;

I am having trouble using inheritance, I made a class called newchars_2 that extends my class newchars and i get this error (newchars class extends movieclip):
1203: No default constructor found in baseclass newchars.
newchars_2.as:
package {
public class newchars_2 extends newchars {
private var obj_no = 3;
public function newchars_2() {
//contructor class
}}}
And when I want to import this class do I import both the class's or just newchars_2 because it has all the functions inherited?

I've built a class which extends MovieClip an works ok. In this class i'm creating some MCs.and this part works ok.Before i've built some prototypes which adds some methods to the MovieClip object I'd like to use these methods in the class i've created.
But using the include before the class statement throws an error during compile
How can i do to add the methods in the prototypes to my MCs in my class?

I've got a class (say ButtonBase) that extends MovieClip. ButtonBase has a method that names it ((this.)name = 'bb1') and adds it to the MainTimeline. Now I can see my extended ButtonBase MC on the MainTimeline. And if from a frame I write trace(this['bb1']), it returns an instance. The problem is that the instance is not recognized as an instance of ButtonBase. Suppose ButtonBase has another method, say testMethod(). Well, if I trace(this['bb1'].testMethod) from a frame on the mainTimeline, it returns undefined. If I trace(this['bb1'] is ButtonBase), > false I can attach a fla if you need it.

I've recently started using the cache as bitmap switch on my on-stage movieclips, to great success, while creating my isometric RPG. What I can't grasp though, is how to apply it to AS-instantiated classes/object.How can I turn on cacheAsBitmap inside a class that extends movieclip? Alternatively, how can I do it from outside the class, from another class that adds mentioned movieclip to the stage?

I created a movieclip symbol and exported to actionscript, I created the .as file:
class BRIQUE extends MovieClip
{
function BRIQUE()
{
[Code].....
"graphics" is an image imported on the stage inside my symbol, but it seems not to be accessible this way (I get an error), nevertheless it works this way in as3 then what is the right way in as2 ?

I followed the example from a previous question and I am loading an external swf using a loader and inside the loader event handler I am trying to cast the loader.content as my custom class PanelReferenceClip which extends MovieClip
When I publish I receive a this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Just to make sure and test that the swf location was correct and the swf was actually being loaded, I changed the type of the content to as MovieClip and it worked fine.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that these swfs are being stored locally and not being pulled across the internet, multiple networks or servers.
I am not sure if I did something quirky in my class so I am providing the source to my custom class PanelReferenceClip
package com.components
{
import com.UI.DevicePanel;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

Ok, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?

How can I run function of the main document class from a class of a MovieClip? I usually just used MovieClip(parent).function(), but now my MovieClip has another parent. Or what do I have to pass to the MovieClip class when creating the MovieClip to acess the main document class?

Is there a way to refer to a Movieclip on the stage from a class file of the document class
Lets say I have 3 MovieClips on the stage(a Circle, a Square and a Triangle)
I have the document class which calls another class that controls the MC on the stage
Example
ActionScript Code:
package {
public class Example extends Sprite {
//Create the instance of the class being called

I've been getting into some xml finally, and came across how handy the XMLList. As I understand it, the XMLList can be treated almost like an array.
[Code]....
I can trace the xmlDoc variable and get the entire xml document I'm trying to pull in - but if I want to just bring in the entries or the content within them, I get a big 'undefined'. Am I using the xmlList wrong? How should I be able to get an array without having to loop through all the xml Document stuff? here's an example of the xml pulled.

Within my flash file, some of the layers/objects go off of the sides of the document as I want them to. When I play the file within the test movie function within flash, the file plays fine and none of the layers that extend of the document cause problems(the samething happens when I play it in flash player). But when I open the file in a web broswer the layers that extended off the edges of the document show up. Is there anyway to get rid of this without having to redo the whole file? (ie, crop around the main document size, or set it to export only everything within the document and nothing that extends off of it?)

I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");
[code]....
My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.
