ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Change Object Type?
Jun 23, 2009
-= Lets say I have two swfs: 'parent.swf' and 'child.swf' AND MyCustomObject.as that extends MovieClip-= In child.swf I have a MovieClip physically placed on stage (not using adddChild). Lets call it "ball_mc"-= child.swf gets loaded into parent.swfWhat I want:-= once child.swf is loaded I want to change ball_mc from a ball_mc:MovieClip to all_mc:MyCustomObject-= Then I want to be able to call ball_mc.init() (init() would be a public function in MyCustomObject.as)Why I want to do this:-= I dont want to import MyCustomObject.as directly into the child.swf. This is because there will be LOTS of child.swfs (child1.swf - childN.swf) If the .as is imported directly into each of these AND the MyCustomObject.as changes I have to re-publish ALL the child.swfs so that they publish with the new code... Right.MAIN QUESTIONs:-= whats the best way to go about doing this?? I just want to be able to change the MyCustomObject.as and have the effects show up on all the child.swfs (but not have to re-publish them all

I have an overlay that I pull up in response to a button click. This overlay is dynamically populated by a TextField, a MovieClip, and a Bitmap. I used to add them to the overlay with addChild() and induce a index out of bounds error to make them go away (I was in a hurry and I don't think I'm using removeChild() right). Well, I decided to do it better and dynamically change the object inside the holding variable. However... the Bitmap is gone. It won't appear. The overlay puller function takes a data-holding class I made and the picture is a BitmapData object.
I can't use the line new Bitmap(picture) because it doesn't work; that makes nothing appear. So, I guess my question is can I store a line of text in a variable and then use that variable as code? Like... Could I have something like this and get an image as an output? I imagine it could be done with XML, but is there another way? I tried storing the constructor in a variable and calling it with object.constructor, but I don't know if I was using it right and it didn't work.

We create Objects in flex by declaring type Object. for example
var objSampleObject:Object = new Object();
and we create properties directly with dot operator without creating any class
[Code].....
My question is in above process is there any class is created internally by flex?

The title might be a little misleading. Look at my code and I will explain
public static function loadTile(tileDir:String = "empty"):void
{
if(tileDir != "empty")
{
tPoint = new Point(0,0);
tRect = new Rectangle(0,0,30,30);
[Code]...
I am trying to do tiling with sprites. I want my tiles to be interactive, so that is why I am using the sprite object instead of using regular bitMaps to represent my tiles. You might be wondering why I wouldnt just use graphics.beginBitmapFill(tImage); and graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth ,tHeight ); to pick out the tiles I want to use. Well reason being is because it turns out that drawRect() first and second parameters actually alter the location of where the actual sprite sits at.
So if I set the x and y properties of the sprite to x = 20, and y = 20. then I set my drawRect(20,20). it actually adds an extra 20 pixels to my x and y coords of my sprite. And I know the reason why, I just need to know a better way.

Is it possible to cast a variable as a type dynamically, where the type would be a variable of type Class? Consider the following (invalid):
var myClass:Class = MyClass;
var myInstance:myClass = new myClass();
For context: I'm working in Flex (4) to create a modal manager that will control various aspects of creating modals (via PopUpManager) and I'd like to keep it as minimal as possible. Components would be passed through the same functions, and rather than allowing any type of variable to be cast, eg:

I have a number of functions and I want to execute 1 based on the entries in a .xml file
part my xml file reads as follows
<funcType>thisFunc</funcType>
In my .fla I have defined thisFunc along with a number of similar functions
I want to execute the function as follows
chosenFunc=Node.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;//points to thisFunc in the .xml file
chosenFunc(); // This should execute as thisFunc ()
Problem is this doesn't seem to be working. Am I trying the impossible?

I've created an FLA as an AS3 project. It's been completed for about a year. I want to port it over as an iPhone.. and Android app.
When I try to start a new FLA and choose iPhone project or Android 2.5 project the project generates some weird errors.
Even if I create a new AS3 project and copy over the library and the keyframes it generates the same errors.
So .. I'm wondering if there is a way to open the FLA that is working and simply alter the project type to iPhone ... or Android?

In a movie clip, I have several frame labels applied. The type of label is set to Name, which is the default. I want to change some of them to Anchor (to use as named anchors with fscommand), but the Type drop-down list is grayed out. Anyone know why? I can't find any info on named anchors, not even in the Help. Yes I know that anchors don't work everywhere, but this is for a specific client.

I'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?

Or lets just say with which encoding it get to jquery at first?

I'm coding a really simple 2D platforming game in Flash using AS3. I'd like to define two different types of terrain surfaces that the player can walk on based on classic platforming elements. Type1: the player can walk on, and if the player jumps, they will hit their head on it and bounce back to the ground. Type2: the player can also walk on, but if the player jumps and hits their head, they will simply pass through the surface and not bounce back to the ground.
I am using hitTestPoint to resolve collisions for this. My question is: What would be the best method to test for what TYPE of ground I am colliding with? Each ground type has it's own Class associated with it in my Flash IDE and all the different terrain surface types are in the same movie clip on the stage.
Currently I'm testing to see if it hit one type of ground surface, then i'm testing if it hit the other, and then based on those results, I process what I want to happen. This seems to work okay right now, but I'm imagining that I may want to create more than 2 types of ground to collide with. For example, moving platforms. It seems like the code will start to get complex
Eg.
if(_groundType1.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
{
if(_groundType2.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))

I have a variable named "type". And I want to instance an object with the name of the value of type. Here is an example: var myObjectName = "ball"; var object = new ball(); //Except I want to use the value of myObjectName. I believe this used to be easy with AS2 when using _global, but I'm not sure how to do it in AS3?

Here's the example:
var cartesian:CartesianChart = new CartesianChart();
cartesian.width = 100;
var column:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
column = cartesian as ColumnChart;
Why does this not work? "column" ends up null. ColumnChart is a derived class of CartesianChart, so I would have thought I'd end up with a ColumnChart with a width of 100.

I want to do something like this in Actionscript 3:
if(variable is Object) ...;
else ...;
Where variable could be a String(), Number(), Array(), Object()...Currently the above check returns true for all of these types, which makes sense. I only want it to return true for objects made with new Object(), however.

I have a custom class say class A :
class A
{
public testA:int;
public testB:int;
}
Now, I have a object say Object C , the object has the exact same names of variables and everything as the class.
can I cast that object into class or vice versa. Instead of set/get of individual variables.
