Dec 28, 2005I have a class called Unit. When I use this class in a .fla file, I create it by saying:

Aug 29, 2007I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects - XML - Creating A New Instance Of An Object That Uses An Identical Name To An Older Instance Delete The Previous Instance?
Mar 20, 2009Does 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?

Sep 12, 2009The movie I'm creating will have many movie clips on each frame and each will have a mouseover tooltip.I have the code set so that I can mouseover a defined movie clip and I properly get the tooltip.[code]This works, where n1 is the instanced name of the movie clip.What I want is to be able to define a variable "whichNav" that will dynamically change to a movie clip instanced name when I mouse over that movie clip, then I can replace "n1" in the above code with "whichNav" and not have to remake the above code for every movie clip in the frame.For example, I could have movie clips instanced as n1, n2, n3, n4... ect. I want a variable that will track which movie clip I have my mouse over, and input that variable into the above code to create the tool tip for each movie clip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A New Instance Through A Variable Instead Of A Class?
Sep 12, 2011I am writing a code where I am trying to create a sprite variable in one class, and create several new instances of that sprite variable in another that all need to be on the stage at the same time. For example I created a variable like this, var ball:Sprite = new Sprite(), then drew the sprite in the same class that that variable was created in, then using encapsulation (i.e. _myNewInstance:AddNewInstance = new AddNewInstance(ball)) I am trying to reference that variable and create several new instances of it in the "AddNewInstanceClass" through for loops.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Create Class Instance Without Calling Constructor?
Feb 11, 2011Is it possible to create an instance of a class without triggering the class' constructor?[code]In the case above, say I wanted to play around with a Foo instance, but I really don't want my global.foobarCount going up, nor do i want to pass in any value at all for bar.This could be useful for introspection where you want to learn more about or pass a particular class object but don't want to provide required arguments or trigger anything that the constructor may do.Is this at all possible? (Obviously, new Foo() just doesn't cut it here, since it would throw and arguments error, nor does just using Foo, since that's a reference to the class itself).
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: ApplicationDomains - Create A New Instance Of The Class That Is Returned?
Feb 14, 2010I'm working on a project right now in Flash Builder which is strictly AS3. I've written a bunch of code for various graphic assets that are being developed in the Flash IDE and compiled into a library swf. So, for example, I might have a drop down list Sprite which I layout in the flash IDE and then set its class to: [url].....With the library swf loaded into my project, if I need to create a new dropdown list I would say something like:
Code:
load.getDefinition(classes[name]) as Class
and then create a new instance of the class that is returned. I decided to try saying 'new DropDown()' instead of pulling the class definition from the loader, and I got a new DropDown. I figure this is because the DropDown library asset is now in the ApplicationDomain and Flash Builder knows that when I say 'new DropDown()' I'm saying [url]....' and it can find that class file. However if my library asset just had a class of 'Widget' and no path back to an .as file it would throw an error. Am I correct in this statement?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Values Held By A Class Instance From Another Class Instance?
Oct 14, 2009I have to admit I pretty much ran away from Flash when AS2 came along and only used it for animation purposes over the last 5 years.So I'm having a major crash course in AS3 in Flash CS3 and I'm not enjoying it one bit. I'm getting maybe 10mins of finished work per hour as I try to figure out the limits and rules of AS3. Quite often it seems that AS3 simply can't do what I want it to. Anyway: Characterchecks.as is the main class and it loads a bunch of XML into four arrays. The file starts like this:[code]If I trace the value of, say, cc._Categories from the main FLA, it's empty. I'm guessing that the next line of AS in the main FLA doesn't wait for the previously called function to complete? (This may tie in to my next problem)My next step is that I want to display various things based on the data in the array. I have another class, Display.as which will hold all the functions to create the items on display. I thought it would be best for these to be a separate object. I wonder if I'm right?
So I declare an instance of Characterchecks in the main FLA and call it cc, and then run the functions to populate the arrays... Now I create an instance of Display and call it cd. How can I get functions in cd to see the values of the variables in cc? And if the main timeline can't tell that the functions aren't finished filling the arrays, how is cd supposed to know?I might be asking dumb questions, or maybe I'm doing things ***-backwards, I don't know. I'd appreciate any help, I really would. This whole thing has me at the end of my tether... being the most technically advanced person in my circle of co-workers and web design friends means I have no-one to explain why things need to be done a certain way or what the best way is.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Sending A Class Instance Reference To A Different Class Instance?
Apr 14, 2011I'm creating a little game - The player controls a character that follows the mouse. Pigs run away from the player, and the player has to get them all into a pen. To make the game a little more difficult I'm trying to add an enemy - wolves, that attempt to perform a 'hunt' method every x seconds. This method sends a reference of the wolf instance to Main (my document class) and Main then loops through the pigs on stage to see if there's any nearby. Now as far as I know this works - my problem is I'm unsure how to send the pig instance reference back to the wolf that called the hunt method, so it can then 'target' the pig, and then attempt to pounce on it.
This is my Wolf class:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create / Delete / Create Event Handlers
Oct 19, 2006At the moment I create an onEnterFrame function to ease a movie clip into view. I then delete it. I want to be able to recreate a similar onEnter Frame function later to swoosh the movie clip out of view. At the moment weird things happen when I try and do the second onEnterFrame.I know I could put this all in the original onEnterFrame, but I don't wanna be wasting processor time doing an if statement every frame to work out if it's time to swoosh out the movieclip. Or should I not worry because that's negligible cpu time?
