is it possible to obtain the instance name of a class from the class without having to manually pass the instance name as a string parameter to the class constructor?
//Create New SizeClass var big:SizeClass = new SizeClass(); //-------------
I am working on a side-scrolling platformer game. Because of this, I have a class that acts as a floor. I also have a class representing enemies. I am having problems with passing a parameter to a custom class' constructor. The class (SkullDemon.as) extends MovieClip. I am trying to pass an instance (called "floorL1") of a customer class called "FloorLevel1." "FloorLevel1" also extends MovieClip (I do not have a written .as file for "FloorLevel1"; I just exported the floor MovieClip to that class).
I am trying to pass an instance of "FloorLevel1" so that the "SkullDemon" object can land on the floor just like in a platformer. My main class is called "TME2_Main." This is the class from which I try to pass the "floorL1" instance to the "SkullDemon" class. This is how I try to create a Skull Demon instance and pass "floorL1" to its constructor:
[Code]...
What am I doing wrong here? I have spent a while looking for solutions (including moving code outside of TME2_Main's constructor),
I have a series values I'm passing (from an FLA) into the constructor of a class. I just want to make clear in my mind that, the only way to pass the variable params, to the function nowDoThis, you'll need a dispatchEvent or a custom event to send it along ?
As an example:
Code: // constructor public function MyFunction(_param1:uint, _param2:uint, _param3:uint) { param1 = _param1; param2 = _param2;
[Code].....
I have only a vague understanding of using objects and dispatch events. Isn't this something that people need to do all the time?
I've drawn a pretty button in Flash and given it the Class name PausePlayButton. It extends PlayerController, which allows it to toggle on and off and control whether a MovieClip is playing or not.When I instantiate it, I want to pass a reference to the MovieClip it controls into the contructor so that PlayerController has access to the MovieClip's public methods. However, I can't pass a reference into the constructor of PlayerController, unless I can pass it into the constructor of the symbol itself and call super. But where is that constructor? How do I give the button a reference to another object?
I'm having trouble with the constructor for a custom Class tied to a library MovieClip.
Say I have a MovieClip in my library named Circle, which is tied to the class com.shapes.Circle . I want the Circle class contstructor to take 2 arguments, xScale and yScale:
public function Circle(xScale:Number, yScale:Number) { }
However, if I try to call that from in code, for example Circle ball = new Circle(3.14,2.0); , I always get an "Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0" error.
Is it possible to have a custom class tied to a MovieClip that can take arguments, or does Flash not allow this? I'd asked about this before and thought I figured it out, but from looking at it now I apparently hadn't figured it out and had resorted to a sloppy workaround; I'm hoping to fix it now.
I'm used to building applications using pure AS3. I always pass dependencies into the constructor of classes I make, but this method seems to not work out well for Flex MXML views. It seems like I should define setters on the MXML class, which map to attributes in the tag/class instantiation. But using this method I cannot specify which properties are required and in what order I expect them etc. What is the preferred method to give a Flex view it's dependencies?
I'm having a problem using superclass constructor with arguments. I've searched all over for the solution and found some really useful advice. Problem is i;ve followed it and it doesn't work... not for me anyway. So i've learned that you need to callthe super constructor in the subclass' constructor to avoid this error. problem is, this code still gets the same error....
I have an image gallery with thumbnails and a previous button and next button. "nextPrevPosition:Number" starts out with the value of 0 and increases or decreases by 1 every-time the previous or next buttons are pressed. The thumbnails assign a value when those are pressed:
Quote:
private var nextPrevPosition:Number = 0; private var currentPort:MovieClip; private var POSITION:Array;
[Code].....
all works fine except when NextPrevPosition reaches the original value 0...and this is when I get the error message. It looks like the line "currentPort = new(POSITION[nextPrevPosition] as Class)(); is when it is happening.
After a couple of hours of looking into a weird 1007 error i give it up. I hope you guys can help me with the Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor error i have.The problem seems the creation of the laughing man icon instance.[URL]..
I was trying to develop a system where instances of an object can only be created using static functions. Setting the constructor to private gave me the following error: 1153: A constructor can only be declared public.
I am follwoing a tutorial on linda.com about creating a website in Flash everything was going well until i started trying to copy the action script in the online examples now I keep getting this error message and can't figure out how to get rid of it:
I got an error like "Incorrect number of arguments.. Expected 0." when I was trying to make an instance of a user-defined class that I've written in the document class of my project.Here's the line in my document class:private var myNotice:myNoticeClass = new myNoticeClass(this);An untyped parameter is supposed to be the only argument to the constructor method of class myNoticeClass and the constructor is something like this
Im stuck with actionscript error, the error i got:- TypeError: Error #1007:Tried to create an instance in a no constructor. at Away3dScene/initObjects()
I have been working on resolving a TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor in Flash CS 4 / AS 3.0 .I decompiled a file for a client because the original developer did not leave the .fla file.... so i am stuck with a bunch of weird syntax and playing guess ...Here is the Error message in its entirety :
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor. at VidPlayer::UtilMethods$/createTextFormat() at VidPlayer/loaderInit()
I am being told that this error takes place on Line 3, which is blank. I can not figure out what the problem could possibly be.
package { import flash.display.*; public class toppings extends MovieClip { var inventory:Sweettreat; function toppings() { inventory = new Sweettreat(this); inventory.makeSweettreatItems([MCsprinkles,MCchocolate,MCcaramel,MCnu ts,MCcherry]); } }}
i have this code snippet that i originally got from the snippet library, but i'm applying it to a new document. i made a square and converted it to a symbol, then gave an instance name of myMovieClip. i put this actionscript code in the first frame with it:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keymoving); function keymoving(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
ActionScript Code: stop(); var urlLink:String="userAccount_action.php"; enterBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,checkUser);
[Code].....
but i am getting the following error while press the button
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs. at Error$/throwError() at flash.net::URLVariables/decode() at flash.net::URLVariables$iinit() at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader:nComplete()
I have written up some code following preivous work. And it seems to me like it is correct.ut i am getting the below code when i click on my button to run the function!Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.

I made this function,that is supposed to create a bunch of slides based on a parameter. That parameter should be the instance name:
Code:
function createSlide(instName:Object){ trace(instName); this.createEmptyMovieClip(instName, this.getNextHighestDepth());[code]....
In the script I call the function with
Code: createSlide("mySlide");
After execution, this error message appears: Error: A 'with' action failed because the specified object did not exist.The trace statement returns the instance name -"mySlide"- When I replace instName with a stringtype name like "mySlide", it works fine.But I don't want that 'cause in that case I have to write a specific function for each slide.
