ActionScript 3.0 :: Extending The Custom Class?
Feb 12, 2012
I made the transition to AS3 two years ago, but I still carry with me old AS2 habits. Could someone please help me understand how I extend a custom class correctly. I have the bad habit of putting most of my code in one .as file (the Document class), but I use a few custom classes now and then. What I'm tring to figure out is how I would extend a class of this type:
public class ClipDragger {
private var _clip:MovieClip;
public function ClipDragger(clip:MovieClip) {
_clip = clip;
[code]....
For example I would like to add a MOUSE_MOVE listener, and also add actions to the drag function.

I've got a simple class:
package somepackage
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class NewMc extends MovieClip{ public var myVar:String = "something";}}
And there is a question now: how can I assign a "real" MovieClip object to my created-class object?
I mean: var realMc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I extended the DataGridColumn because I wanted to include a custom itemToLabel function (to be able to show nested data in the DataGrid. See this question.
Anyways, it also needs a custom sorting function. So I have written the sorting function like so:
private function mySortCompareFunction(obj1:Object, obj2:Object):int{
var currentData1:Object = obj1;
var currentData2:Object = obj2;
[Code].....
Whenever I try to sort the column, I get the error "Error: Find criteria must contain at least one sort field value."
When I debug and step through each step, I see that the first few times, the function is being called correctly, but towards the end, this error occurs.

I am following this page to create a custom preloader extending Sprite to load an animation SWF, but it is not working (the animation SWF is not displaying): [URL]. I know the Animation.swf file is okay, because if I load it into the main app it displays and runs. The preloader works if an image is loaded by the preloader instead of the animation SWF.
test.mxml (main app)
BTW, I typically have many more lines of ComboBox in the app to force the preloader to display, but limiting number of lines here.
CustomPreloaders.SparkAnimationProgressBar.as
package customPreloaders {
import flash.display.;
import flash.events.;
import flash.net.;

I'm extending the Flex 3 panel component. I need to figure out the width of the title's text. Because, title is a private variable in panel, I can't access it via title.width.I know the font, fontsize (14), and length of the title (which will vary). Knowing this info is there a way to calculate how many pixels wide the title is?

I want to add a property to the MovieClip class. I just have a bunch of MovieClips that are placed on the stage by reading an XML file and creating lots of clips according to the information in them. Now, I need to know which MovieClips were created below previous clips, and I figure that the easiest way to do so would be by extending the MovieClip class and add an order property.I have some problems though: I don't know how to set or get this order property within the main clip, I don't know how to place this clip within my movie, and I don't know how to create them dynamically (do I just do something like var myNewObjectOfExtendedClass : myExtendedClassName = new myExtendedClassName?)
This is the code I have on my extended class, called Expando.as:

Is this possible? Extending From the Document Class?
Because I have this as code and can't get a trace[code]...
All I can find online are examples of instanciation, not inheritance when connecting/accessing the document root:
var mySubTest:TheSubTest = new TheSubTest();
Is extending from a document root impossible? I can create a new instance, but branching out seems like a dead end.

I'm having an issue extending a class in the JWPlayer API, but I think it's probably more of an issue of the way I'm extending the class in AS3 rather than the class itself. Here is the code:
Code:
package {
import com.longtailvideo.jwplayer.events.*;
import com.longtailvideo.jwplayer.parsers.*;
import com.longtailvideo.jwplayer.utils.*;
[code].....
All three of the final functions do not return values even though I have event listeners only calling those values one Event.COMPLETE (of the loaded SWF that contains this script).

am attempting to make a simple asteroids game using push button engine. In the game the ship should fire when the user pushes the spacebar button.To do this my KeyboardController class should make a new instance of the Bullet class on every tick when the spacebar is down.The problem is for some (probably simple) reason I can't extend the Entity or IEntity class. IEntity is an interface so I understand why I can't extend that, but I'm not sure why it's not letting my extend entity. Heres my code for calling the bullet constructor:
if (PBE.isKeyDown(InputKey.SPACE)){
var _newBullet: Entity = Bullet();
}
and here is the first line of the bullet class.
public class Bullet extends Entity{...}

By this question, I don't just mean add a final to your class name.I'm talking about, let's say that you have a class that only one other class uses, but should not be accessed by no other class. Is it possible to say in the extended class that only this other class can extend me?*Change* Also, can you restrict which classes are allowed to initialise it?

I have an AS file named MovieClipTLnd which I created to add a property to the MovieClip class, plus a function to trace the current value of the property I added. I works out just fine. But when I do the same trying to extend the Button Class, it won't work.
check the last lines of this LiveDoc, a few days ago someone posted a comment regarding this problem
[URL]
I know there are some workarounds for this problem... like embedding the button into movieclips and assigning properties as objects, but I need to know if it's possible to Extend the Built-in Button class itself just like it can be done with the MovieClip Class.

extending a class from MovieClip? I could just make a movieclip variable in the class to make it simpler. I heard if you extend from Movieclip it makes it feel like its dynamic because you have frames (gotoAndStop, etc). However, it allows me to have direct access to variables (or this.) instead of somemc., and I believe thats faster because 1) smaller name variable lookup, 2) no get function call.

I've been going through the OOP AS 2.0 tutorial here on Kirupa, and I was curious WHY this code is in a class which extends the MovieClip class and is used to affect a linkage item in the library:
Code:
// init method for arguments which in other normal
// circumstances (non-MovieClip classes) would be
// given to the constructor. Not an option with MovieClips
[code].....
Is there something undocumented about why I wouldn't pass those parameters in when instantiating a new instance of the class in question? What is different about extending the MovieClip class?

I have class that subclasses fl.controls.DataGrid. The function below from the DataGrid superclass throws a compile time error (implicit conversion fl.controls.DataGrid to DataGrid) when the subclass resides in an unnamed package.If I place the subclass in a named package, the error disappears. If I use a different class name (e.g. DataGrid2), the error disappears.I never intended to leave the subclass in an unnamed package. However, I am curious as to why the unnamed package is preventing the compiler from seeing that DataGrid is a subclass of fl.controls.DataGrid.
Code:
public function addColumnAt(column:*, index:uint):DataGridColumn {
var dataGridColumn:DataGridColumn;

I'd like to write a class that extends String, changing the functionality of several methods such as charAt to incorporate the Welsh alphabet. The reason for this is that the Welsh alphabet is as follows: as you can see, some "letters" actually contain two characters, which messes up any charAt operations, etc.
Is it possible to extend String? When I try, I get "base class is final".
I found this thread on another forum which talks about doing this, but has no mention of it not being extendible:[URL]..

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 am creating objects for a game, they are all sprites. but I also want them to implement an interface. Is it possible to do both ? If not, how can i have an object have the capabilities of a sprite and also have it implement an interface.

Initially I thought that I might be extending the class in the wrong way, but all the examples I found look the same.

I don't how to describe the situation in short, so I am going to describe it in details.
I have created a class, extended from MovieClip. It looks like this:
// Libraries are imported
public class WindowObject extends MovieClip {
public function WindowObject():void {
dragArea_mc.addEventListener(...);
[Code]...
When I clicked on the errors, they redirected me to the WindowObject class.If I don't create new classes, but just write the additional functions on the MovieClip directly, and set back the base class to be WindowObject, it works fine again.
