ActionScript 3.0 :: DocumentClass And Access Clips From Other Classes
Apr 13, 2010
I'm new to AS3 and am starting to use OOP in flash. However I run into some problems with accessing movieclips from other classes. I am creating a DocumentClass (like Lee Brimelow showed in one of his tuts) and from that class I want to completely generate the movie using other classes and such. However I run into a problem when I need to access movieclip properties from other classes. Here's an example of what I have:
Code:
Select allpackage{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.dreamline._root.*;
public class DocumentClass extends MovieClip
[Code] .....
How to add clips from my DocumentClass and access them in the flHandler class without having to forward this.dpStage as a parameter.

I've got 100 instances of a particular class of MovieClip on my stage, and I'm trying to find a way to get functions that affect them all. The obvious way to do this is through their common class, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding out how to do it. Most of the tutorials I've found are about creating custom classes or creating new instances of classes. This isn't what I want to do, as I've already got all my instances on the stage already.
There are actually several things I want to use this for, but I'll just mention one for the sake of brevity.
I want to set the alpha of each MovieClip to 0 when I click on it. Here's the code I'm using for a single MovieClip at the moment:
ActionScript Code:
boxcover1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removecover1);
function removecover1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
boxcover1.alpha=0;
}
While this works perfectly, it means I'm going to have to repeat it 99 times, once for each MovieClip, and later on I need to do some more complicated stuff with it that 99 copies would make near-impossible to pull off. I'm hoping that by using the class ('box_cover') I'll be able to have this apply to every MovieClip on the stage.

Im trying to create a class which can access a movie clip on stage. I've searched many forums/google cant seem to find the solution im after. If i have a movie clip on stage with instance name 'mc1' for example. how can i access this movie clip from a class im creating. Eventually id be able to access the movieclip via a dynamic name but need to get past this simple stage first.

I have a few questions I am hoping to get a few clear answers to. I have been looking around the web and in books for the last few hours and I can't seem to get an answer that is clear, at least not clear to me Question1 If an external class such as a document class is used, you cannot simply access a nested movie clip that has been dropped on the stage from the library using dot syntax, is this correct? Example:

I have an SWC of all my graphical assets. I'm using FlashDevelop as my IDE, and I have set the SWC as a path.I can import classes in the SWC just fine and the the intellisense works. But when I try to create a new instance of one of the assets, it seems to work, I can trace out the variable I assign it to, but when I try to add the actor to the stage it doesnt show up.

I'm trying to load a local SWF file and use the classes in that SWF (its a code only SWF, nothing in library).
Here's the code that loads the library:
Code:
var AD:ApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, AD);
SA_gamecore_loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MenuArt is not defined.
The GameCore.swf is in the same location as the parent swf.

What I am trying to do is pull data from an XML file so that I can store paramaters for my FLV player (i.e. flv link, dimensions, video name, etc) I can get the data from the XML file and story it in a dictionary but I am unable to access the data from my main class. I know it has to be something pretty simple but I think i have been looking at it to long to see it.
// Main.as
package includes.action{ import fl.video.FLVPlayback; import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.URLLoader; import flash.utils.Dictionary; import includes.action.XMLData; public class Main extends Sprite[code]..........
basically with all my traces this is what I get back...
// Trace dataVIDOEXML COUNT: undefinedELEMENTS: nullMAIN:LINK: nullWe are in LoadXMLname - no get: mortgagename - get: mortgage
The trace for Elements and Main:Link should give me back the name of the video but as of yet its either returning NULL or undefined.

I'm making a little application in Actionscript 3. In my initApp.as I have created another class which needs to edit the currentState, which is only accessible from the main .as (initApp.as). I found a solution such that I can reach the currentState property from my other class: Application.application.currentState.This is however not a good solution as it couples the classes too much.. is there a better way of editing the currentState from other classes?

I'm having some doubts about how to access some features of embedded files and loaded.
For example, I created a .fla and added a symbol to your library - a MovieClip with name and class circle. Then convert the .fla to .swf, thus becoming test.swf.[code]...

Have any of you guys attempted to embed a library SWF and access the classes as it was an externally loaded SWF? If so, how is it done? In an effort to make my game into a single SWF, I have no other option than to embed my external library SWF's, the simplest of which is just an SWF full of images in the library. My normal method is this

Main class:

I'm working on a game. Yep. I have the main class where I control all the stuff that's packed in external classes. My current issue is that I listen for a mouse event to happen, and when the left button is pressed, I add a child to the stage.[code]...
However, I want to set all the stats of the bullet in an external class called "Rock". In the main class I just attach a movieclip to the stage, and the behavior of this MC is supposed to be controlled by the Rock class. The problem is I dont know how to access the bullet variable from the Rock class.

Im trying to get used to packages and classes in AS3. Im used to put all code on the first frame of the timeline, but now i have 442 lines of code on the first frame. Yeah 442. And this is for a game engine so i thought i should put it inside some classes to make it easier to read an reusable. But i have noticed that if i create a class called Code and make a instance of that class like this:[AS]var codeObject:Code = new Code();[/AS]i get a bunch of errors because the class cant Acess the stage and the display list.i found a workaround by linking the class to a movieClip and and do this:[AS]MovieClip(parent);[/AS?

I have navbar_mc on the main stage. Within navbar_mc is button1_btn How can i reference this button with an eventListener from the DocumentClass?I have the following in the document class:
this.navbar.button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
but get the following error when i compile: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.also, there are many buttons within navbar_mc, how can i make an elegant switch statement function (in the DocumetnClass) for all of them. To reiterate, with an eventListener for each button, how do i reference the correct one from a single function, in this case clickHandler?

I have been at it for days now and don't know how to get this going. I have DocumentClass and I have a simple function which returns stage width. I now would like to call this function from othr class which exist within the same package as my DocumentClass. I am able to trace the stage width when I invoke stageWidth() function from the DocumentClassAs I to understand, if the function is public, and it is being accessed by a class that exist within the same package, I should be able to access the function withou any issues.nd If I declare the function as STATIC then it is global and can be accessed by classes from other packages what am I doing wrong,
Function that I have written:
public function stageWidth()

For the example, there's a single FLA with a document class "main.as." In the public class main.as package, there is a public variable: "var example:String='example';." Inside of the FLA, there is one movie clip in the library and it is assigned a custom base class "sub.as." The movie clip is then placed on the first frame of the stage so its constructor is run at runtime and reads the value of example.
What is the proper way to get the value of "example" in the root document class? Using "root.example" in the sub.as class to target the document class returns an error and when I trace "root", I get "null." Main.example naturally throws an error because that's looking at the actual class and not the movie / stage its attached to.The round-about way I've done it before is to dynamically add the object in the library and pass in the root path when I create a new instance of it (example: submc:sub = new sub(this); ).Is there anyway to get back to the document class with a built-in method like root, etc?

I have this function in the parent class:
ActionScript Code:
private m_colors:Array;
protected function set colors(clrs:Array):void {
m_colors = clrs;
}
Then, in my child class I want to call this as:
super.colors = [15, 255];
But it throws an error, it says:
Ambiguous reference to colors. If I do the same with a common function, not a setter one, then just calling it with its name in my child class works fine.

Im building a project using an MVC pattern. I have (pseudo) abstract classes Model and View, each extended with particular models and views. But I cannot access properties on the extended classes of Model...Model simply distributes XML data, heres its constructor:
Code:
public function Model(data:XML)
{
_data = data; /*_data is a protected var of type XML in Model*/
}
MainModel extends Model, and has a property called _background of type Background which also extends Model:
Code:
private var _background:Background = new Background(some XML source);
public function MainModel(data:XML)
{
[code]....
The problem arises when I try to pass MainModel's background property as a parameter of _bgView (highlighted in red above). The compiler says there is no background property on Model, which is true, but I need it to look at its extended class MainModel, not Model. I've typed MainView's constructor parameter with MainModel, but it is still seeing it as Model.
