I am getting these errors when I try to run this program:
1120: Access of undefined property whiteRoll.1120: Access of undefined property blackRoll.
They are being thrown by the bold line in the code. I can trace the ionName property I have created, but I can't compare it to input text. How can I get this to work?[code]...
I have a custom function that doesn't function correctly the first time the function executes it removes a textFiled from the display list without a problem but the second time that it executes it won't remove a diffrent textfield and I don't know why here is the code from the time the textField is added to the diplay list to where its deleted.Btw the function in question is being executed by a custom event listener.....the errors i receive are TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference...Also note that i can remove the textField in question from any function other thatn the one the custom event executes.
PHP Code:
sendBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMsg0,false,0,true);
msgOut.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, sendMsg1,false,0,true);
comboBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,chFontSize,false,0,true);[code]..........
i am a bit embarassed to ask this, but i do this so much i have to ask. Occasionally, i need to pass/handle custom events on the fly. Rather than creating a whole custom event class, i will just do something like
Code:
myObject.dispatchEvent(new Event('thisCustomEvent'));
//and then handle it later

package components {
public class templateSelection extends VBox {
static public var tempSelectionBag:Dictionary;

I want to have a custom class tempSelection with a Dictionary as a public accessable property of that class. If I use this code, the compiler tells me:
1046: Typ wurde nicht gefunden oder war keine Kompilierungszeit- onstante:Dictionary
Which translates to:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Dictionary
I have a Custom Component that has a couple of Canvas with some background colors assigned to them. Now i have hard coded the colors, i want to move them to an external css file. So i would like to have the css declaration like this :

My question is if i can define custom style names like dividerRightColor and if so, how can i use that value inside my MXML Component? I have seen examples of using them inside Pure AS components.
Is there a point of creating custom event class if i dont need to pass custom property with that event?
View 3 RepliesHaving problem reading bytearray of custom objects.
public class CustomObject extends Object {

I am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?
I found a really weird behavior when using deep copy for objects (ObjectUtil of Flex framework).Imagine we have a class B which extends class A. Class A has property body which is of type ByteArray.I create object b (instance of B). Then I make a deep copy object bCopy, BUT this bCopy object does not contain body property at all! All others properties (of scalar types) defined in Class A are copied properly.When I define property of type ByteArray directly in class B, then this property is copied properly..

I want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.

I'm having trouble accessing the variables of my main class from other class objects UNLESS the objects are extensions of the Sprite or MovieClip class, have been added to the display list as a child of the main class instance, and I am able to use the this.parent.variable syntax. What I'm wondering is, isn't it possible to have a simple Object declared and instantiated, residing in memory and able to access another object's properties, without it being a part of the display list? Am I doing something stupid here?
Let me explain the code a bit in case it's a design flaw on my part. (I'm still learning AS3 and am not completely fluent with it yet).
I have a project with about 15 custom classes. There are no frame scripts in the .fla file. I am using it basically as a library only. The document class (let's call it Calculator for this example) extends the Sprite class and specifies the properties for the SWF dynamically. All other classes are instantiated from this main class. I have a bunch of variables that I want accessible to the different classes, so to keep them in a central location, I have declared them in the Calculator class, and am trying to access them from the other object instances.
(It should be noted that there ARE animations that need to play at times, so I'm assuming I can't NOT extend the MovieClip or Sprite class when creating the document class.
For this example, let's say there's another class called XMLLoader.as, whos instance was created from within the Calculator class, that needs some information stored in the Calculator class' variables. Incredibly simplified code for the two classes might look like this:
Document class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class Calculator extends Sprite {
[Code].....
So, in the code above (I've bolded the most important lines in red), the only way I have been successful at accessing the variables declared in the document class from other classes is to extend the MovieClip or Sprite class when I create the custom class, add the object as a child of the document class (Calculator), create a generic variable cast to the datatype of the document class, and use it to access the variables.
This seems really excessive to me, and I'm wondering if it is, or if this is simply a limitation of ActionScript. Does, for instance, a URLLoader object actually need to be associated with a MovieClip included in the display list in order to access internal variables of the main class object? Is it me, or is that really convoluted? Shouldn't it be able to exist in memory separate of the display list and still have access to varibles declared from the main timeline (i.e. the document class in this case)? Is there no other syntax for accessing these elements? Have I done something limiting with how I've designed this or declared the variables?
I'm programming a kind of "Lights Off" game in Flash Professional (not Flash/Flex Builder)and it would be very nice if I could manage on/off state in a grphically designed Symbol like this[code]...

I have a custom Flex 4+ component that I am trying to make and have the skin be aware of changes to a custom property. This property will determine the graphic on the button (and some other visual changes) but the data will change constantly as it will be updated by a timer.
I've looked at untold examples and still seem unable to get the syntax correct or discover how things should be separated. I've looked at overriding commitProperties and the PropertyChangeEvent without success. So I have two questions.
1) How can I get a skin to be notified of a bound property when it changes?
2) If the data for a bound property of the component is an object, will binding work properly if a property of the object changes (or would it be better to pass each property separately)?

I am writing a program in OOP and I have a custom subclass which I make a new instance of in the document class. When I do make a new instance of this custom class, I want this (the custom subclass is a movieclip) object to be positioned at the center of the stage. However, when I try

this.x = (this.parent.width-this.width)/2;

How do I access the parent property?

I use an italian version of flash so I don't know the exact english description but I can translate it as "access to an undefined property extra_property by static type reference flash.display: DisplayObject". I think it's because getChildAt() returns a DisplayObject, not a MyMovieClip.
I would like to know if it is the same to assign properties to my custom component in its own class, or from the parent document. Here I assign the property bottom in my custom component class:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:LinkButton bottom="20" >
<mx:Script>
Here I assign the property bottom when I use the component in my main MXML file
<myComp:Brick bottom="10"/>
Using SDK 4.1 I was able to access custom properties of a custom button component from a custom skin. The project I'm currently working requires SDK 4.5 and I'm unable to to access the properties. Here's an example:

I've assigned a custom property (baseX) to a mc so as to use it later for positioning, but after i use MovieClipLoader.loadClip my custom property is returning "undefined".
Code as follows:
Code:
stop();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbHolderR1C1",4); //Main Picture
thumbHolderR1C1.baseX=Stage.width-(2*thumbWidth)-(2*thumbBorder);
[code]....
the loadClip actions do not take place until a few seconds after they are called, as the image needs to load first.
