ActionScript 3.0 :: Error When Passing To Constructor
Aug 11, 2009
I am going through the book gameprogramming university and checked to make sure my code matched.
I am using 2 classes the main class attached to the timeline, and an airplane class that contains a symbol in the library with different frames.
the main class is
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class airraid extends MovieClip {
[Code].....
when i execute it i am getting the error:
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.
This is at line 7 where it is creating the airplane object.

Is it possible to define 'public properties' of an object in the constructor method when you create the object ? similar to..
var leftmain_scrollertext = new TextField({length:10});
I have a TextField and I want to set its maxChars, x, y, width etc.
when I specify one or more of these I get... 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
am I forced to specify each property I want individually after I have constructed it ?

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.

what i'm trying to do is get a movie to duplicate movieclips when the original movieclip is dropped onto a target.what it does is,
1. click, drag movie clip to target.
2. drop, released.
3. duplicate movieclip appears in the ORIGINAL position from where the original movieclip was picked up.
4. and keep the dropped movieclip in place.
i don't know why i get,
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor. at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/dirt_UP()
Code:
function dirt_UP(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (e.target.dropTarget != null && e.target.dropTarget.parent == this.shirt){ e.target.stopDrag();

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.
