is there any way to exclude some classes from a swf file.As you can imagine, I need to create kind of "dll" swf files (that is i want to avoid any duplication of my classes)I'd like to be able to exclude superclasses as well. Generally, most components will extend the same superclasses. I don't want to include the superclasses in my swf file.
View 9 RepliesI have a preloader at the beginning of my flash movie that looks like this.[code]Which works perfectly. However as the movie contains a fairly large number of bitmaps I wanted to know how to preload the main flash movie and for the bitmaps (which are movie clips) to preloaded separately. I cant quite get my head around how this might be done.

In other words, If I check for example C.height, I should retrieve 2 different values before and after applying the mask to B.

I have a code library that I have built. It relies on 2 other (third party) libraries. At the moment, when I compile the library into a swc, both third party libraries are included. I am looking for a way to compile my code library against the third party libraries, but without including them in the compiled swc.
This would obviously mean that anyone using my library would need both libraries as well, but I would prefer it this way. I am not using Flex/Flashbuilder which I know allows you to choose the classes to include in a swc.
So, 8 weeks ago I started with my GameDevelopment branch of the MediaTechnology tree at my school, and I am currently in my 1st week of the 2d Semester (or Period, as we call it here), and AS3 is introduced this time (last Period were GameMaker and XNA). There's a problem though.. I have to work with Arrays now, and last time I worked with Arrays was during PHP last year; almost half a year ago >_<"

View 3 RepliesIs there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)

I have to use many custom classes for a project, each class includes lots of elements(methods,properties) and I generally forget their names when coding. Is there any editor which I can enumarate the elements of my classes after pressing "." like Flash's built in classes?
View 8 RepliesThe examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.
I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?
I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..
View 2 Repliesinheritance and building classes from other classes.
I have 3 classes:
gfxRoomText - changeable colour
gfxRomInter - changeable colour - interactive
gfxRoomImg - interactive - only image / no colour
The first two incorporate the same text field and functions to change colour. The second and third incorporate another class to interactive with. What is the best way of creating these classes using inheritance and how?

View 2 RepliesI am new to classes and I am just starting to follow tutorials on how to assign classes and sub classes and I am wondering when you assign a base class or class to an object(Symbol e.g movieclip) through the properties, are all instances on the stage no matter how many and what they are named influenced and is the Stage/main timeline always the parent? and just one more question, is the parents objects display list all the movieclips that are used on the stage or all the instances on the stage?

It seems that the code of flash's classes under enFirst RunClassesFP9flash are not complete but merely prototype declarations. Where is the actual or working code and why are they not using package { } keywords? Instead they declare classes using the intrinsic class keywords. What is intrinsic and why would i want to have intrinsic classes? Can i also make intrinsic classes? Why are some classes under "fl" like import fl.transitions.Tween; and others are under "flash" like flash.display.MovieClip.
Additional: The classes in enFirst RunClassesFP8flash are not complete... Where are the other classes like flash.display.MovieClip located? I only see BitmapData under display. There must be another "flash" folder not under FP8 and FP9 but i can't find it with a simple search. Also enConfigurationActionScript 3.0Classesfl is incomplete i think. Is the organization of files bad? Some imports are with "fl" others are with "flash"
what the difference is in ActionScript 3 classes between the import.fl and the import flash. options?
