Is it possible? If so, what's the preferred way? I'm seeing lots of ArrayUtil and StringUtil AS3 classes, but I don't like using them as it defeats the purpose of an object (StringUtil.trim(str) instead of str.trim()).
View 4 RepliesI want to open/convert a class in Flash that has was build for Flex. Now there are includes like StringUtil wich are easy to rewrite and others like bitmapasset which are not found.Is it possible to add the core classes of flex to my classpath?

I dont understand how extend workes.. when i extend a class,will it replce that class entery point or will a class that extends another have "two" entery points? And can i pass paramters to the extended class?
View 3 RepliesWhat is the difference between importing a class and extending a class, I know that when you extend you add all the properties/methods of that class to your own class, but I am still un sure of what this actually does for you and your program, I am pretty confused on the topic and I couldnt find the difference between the two on the internet, also how do you know which one of the two you need to do?
View 8 Repliesmy understanding of extending classes is that you gain all the functions and methods of that class thus You could over ride any one of them. How ever I am confused on weather or not you inherit and can over ride private methods of the class you are extending or if you have to have all methods public in an extended class.

I'm creating a class that extends another class.

I've recently come to a roadblock in my code for a non-visual class I created; a sound class if you want to know. At first I coded with it extending Sprite (I can't remember why I started it out that way, but that's the way it was). When I came back to this code, I thought that extending sprite doesn't make any sense if it's an audio class and non-visual, where is no real reason to add something to the stage if you can't see it. So I removed "extends Sprite" from the class and errors started popping up around "dispatchEvent" coded areas. I then tried putting back the extention with "extends Object", hoping that would solve the problem; got the same thing. I've searched with google on why I can't use dispatchEvent on objects or classes not extending anything, but it only came up with how to use dispatchEvent with the usual MovieClip or Sprite tutorial.

I have a library symbol, exported for Action-Script and to Frame1. Now in the document Class, i write
public class Test

public function Test():void

Now the code works fine but when i write my own (sealed/fixed) Box Class that surely Extends MOVIE-CLIP, statement-2 gives error , i know the Box Class is not dynamic but the Movie-Clip is Dynamic. Now what i understand that Movie-Clip Class being dynamic becomes fixed/sealed when it is extended by any Fixed/sealed Class???
I'm currently developing a game in flash and want to be able to divide up my .fla assets in a way that means artists can work on a game menu .fla in isolation from the game.fla and rest of the game code.If I could briefly explain how I've approached this so far, I would be extremelyMy project is setup like this:HighScoreMenu.fla -> document class HighScoreMenu extending GameMenu class.game.fla ->document class game.asgame.as class loads the published HighScoreMenu.swf and manipulates the menu i.e. animates on and off screen via inherited functions in the GameMenu class.
Now this seemed to work to begin with, until my code evolved and upon going to publish my HighScoreMenu.fla flash started complaining about symbols being used in Game.as that were in Game.fla... If I'm only publishing the HighScoreMenu which extends from GameMenu then why is it even looking to compile Game.as
I'm trying to create a base class for components by extending Group in Flex 4, but I can't seem to define the layout through MXML. Any time I try to move the definition to a subclass of my base component, I get the following error:
Error: Could not resolve <s:layout> to a component implementation.
Judging by that error, it seems that some magic from the framework's side goes into assigning it for a Group and thus the compiler fails when trying to assign it for any other classes. Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? how to allow me to define it in subclasses?

I'm teaching myself actionScript 3.I'm having some difficulty knowing which packages / classes to import from the flash core.I'm still a little shaky on the terminology but I mean these statements at the start of the main AS file.
import flash.display.Sprite;
Are there any good references / cheatsheets that describe what each flash.example.example provides? At least for commonly used packages.
I would like to use the ActionScript 3 Core Library (in order to use the JPEGEncoder functions it includes) that you can download in here[url]...
but I've seen no information on how to install it. Does anybody know how to integrate this library into Adobe Flash CS3/4?
I know it is intended for flex ... but what does that mean ... can I use it in flash ... if not, why not ...
but more importantly: all of the mx classes, spark classes, flashx classes ... why are they NOT for flash? pixels are pixels, matrices are matrices, 0's are 0's, 1's are 1's.
First of all I take it it's alright to start developing for 10.1 - is it out of beta? So, core animation used bt iphone/ipad with it's underlying c language etc. How can we use this for AIR android development - any tutorials/blogs - googled it and nothing comes up even on the adobe site. This is supposed to be a revolution so where's the info hiding???
View 9 RepliesWhy is it that the mx.core.Container uses its contentPane sometimes, but doesn't at other times?Or, in other words, how come the children of Container are only put into the contentPane if some complex logic decides that they should be put there? Why not simply always put all children in the contentPane?
View 1 RepliesThis is giving me major headaches! I'm having trouble even describing the problem in words. Basically, I want to be able to manage a core library (coreLib) of Actionscript classes with the following requirements: latest version is checked out when a new project starts. a dev can make changes to the coreLib and then commit them back into the repo as project is written (maybe bug-fixes, added features, etc.) the project contains a 'snapshot' of the coreLib so that, if returned to months later, it (as automatically as possible) has a copy of the coreLib that has guaranteed compatibility with the project.
I tried using externals but this can break compatibility going backwards. I'm currently exporting the coreLib into the project and its VC'd along with the project. I can't figure out how to get the changes back into the repo though, without just copying over the top and losing history.
I'm developing a p2p mutliplayer game using adobe rtmfp server on facebook using flex 4. I have box2d for physics engine and the hardware acceleration is on. In 60fps, Average cpu cost for 6 players room is %40 for 1.86mhz intel core 2 duo. But in 8 and more players rooms, the cpu usage increases to %50 and fps drops to 50. I'm guessing that flash player uses only 1 core in full performance and resting the other. However I need all cores for 8+ rooms to simulate 60 fps smooth game. Is there a way to make flash use multiple cores at once?

I am trying to create a large flex project. This Project consists of a CORE application, and other sub-applications.The CORE application should contain information that will be shared by all other projects (e.g., link to database, data manager which loads data from the database, application information like height width colors fonts... etc.).
The sub-applications each has a certain task. Each sub-application is a large project by itself so I don't think its a good idea to put all code inside one HUGE project.The CORE project should run the main application, and through a navigation menu, I should be able to click and run other sub-applications.Is there a way to created the CORE application to reference those sub-applications so that I can run them inside of the CORE. At the same time, those sub-applications should reference the CORE applications to get the NetConnection to the database and other important information that they might share?
Is mx.core.* something in the flex sdk / framework? I am trying to get the unserializer from [URL] to work with flash CS4, and I am getting the compiler error: 1004: Namespace was not found or is not a compile-time constant. The lines called out in the package are: use namespace mx_internal and mx_internal static var c:uint;
I don't know the first thing about namespaces, but does anyone know how to get this package/class working in CS4 AS3? It might be something simple I am missing. I have attached the .as package file (uploaded as a txt file) if anyone wants a look... I am having to get a lot of lists from a mySQL database and it is becoming a real pain urlencoding them all manually. If I could just urlencode(serialize($result)); in php and send that file to AS3 to be decode it would be so much simpler.
I have failed in generating core.I have added a line "ulimit -c unlimited" in server's start function. I killed the fmsedge process by "killall -6 fmsedge". The process do be killed but no core. file is seen in /opt/adobe/fms finally.
