ActionScript 3.0 :: External Classes Version Conflict?
Jul 7, 2009
Scenario:swf B compiles with class Vo in it and displays it's values swf A compiles with a revised version of Vo in it and loads swf B
Result:
swf B shows swf A's revised Vo class properties and not the version it got compiled with even though nobody told swf B to change it's Vo properties.
Has anyone encountered these kinds of situations? How is everyone dealing with this?
[EDIT] Since the forums still seem to be broke, you can grab my sample files here. Compile B.fla and then change class Vo version property and you'll see when you compile A that B display's the new Vo version. Link to Files
An unashamedly naive question, I'm afraid, from someone trying to get to grips with as3 classes... I have a movie clip (a car) on the stage that's linked, through the 'Class' field in the symbol properties dialogue box, to a class which allows it to move. This works fine, until I attempt to set up collision detection for a movieclip representing the track, by importing a CollisionDetection class; then, the car movement class does not appear to be imported at all. Neither does it appear to work when I include any import statement on the main movie's timeline.
when I write my own classes do I need to take care of the reserved keywords, or this doesnt matter?I usually do try to make my own names but sometimes I just cant think of anythinglike say I want to write my own URLLoader class:Code:public class URLLoader extends EventDispatcher {will this be a problem?
I have an actionscript 3 based website that is loading font outlines dyncamically, from external font swfs, using a common technique.
... var FontLibrary:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("font") as Class; Font.registerFont(FontLibrary.fontClass);
Everything works fine until I attach assets from an swc containing text with the same font.At which point only the outlines from the swc are used. So for exampe, if the swc has a dyncamic TextField, containing the letters "abc" then only those letters will display in the website and not the entire alphabets that where previously loaded dyncamically from the font swf.
I'm having issue loading some external swfs in my project. This worked great until a few month back when they switched the preloader integration with :[Frame(factoryClass="Preloader")]Since then my swf loaded with a Loader() doesn't show.
When going to the links on the flash banners at the bottom work perfectly. there is an increased frequency in people visiting the site and only typing and in those instances the links do not work.
a client asked me to incorporate a flash version check in a flash application i made for him.it should read something like: "you have flash player 10.x.x.x.x.x.x.x the current version is 10.1.x.x.x.x.x.x"the user veriosn is easy to get with Capabilities.versionbut is there an url on adobe's site to get the string of the current downloadable version from?
I need to validate an uploaded SWF to ensure it meets certain Flash and ActionScript version limitations. Anyone know a good Python library to parse metadata out of a SWF?
Are there any plans to upgrade the SDK to version 8 or 9 or release a updated flash version for the Wii. It's ridiculous that Adobe has not done this already considering the sheer volume of people using the Wii web browser.
i have a Main class and a other class called Calc everything seems to works when its written fully written but when i condense it into a loop, behavior becomes different and broken posted the FLA and Class heres the working version [URL] and the loop [URL] im trying to get the loop version to behave just like the written out version,
I identify my current installed debug version? Basically, I am using Flex 3, for past 2-3 days whenever I launch any Project or debug it, I get the message box saying "Flex Builder requires a more recent version of Flash Player." It says my curent FP as 9.0.115.0 and debug version as 9.0.45.0. However, my actual FP version if FP 10.0.22.87. I don't understand why this confussion! I don't know how can I know my actual version of Debug player.
I'm new to flash, as3 and this forum so any help would be great!I've made an xml gallery, all the movieclips and everything have been created dynamically and the images are being loaded through an xml file. Except two buttons which are in the library and have the linkage names next_btn and prev_btn.
Now what I want to do is, I have 3 categories of galleries, so I want to convert my script into a class which I can use for every type of gallery. (I hope I'm being clear)When the user clicks on gallery, a the function startGallery() is called.
I need to know how to go about it I'm pretty much clueless, I've read a WHOLE LOT of tutorials about classes but I really can't understand how to do this.
i m using adobe flash cs3 with AS3 . I have updated my flash player in version 10 and it's activeX. But while I gonna publishing it , I do not get option of version Flash Version 10 in Flash Tab of File>Publish Settings. How, can I have option of Flash Player 10 ?
I'm having some problems with importing classes in AS3. I'm kinda new to flash and programming in general. I searched on these forums and couldn't find anything in regards to importing an external class. I'm trying to import the tweener class and I used the code: import caurina.transitions.Tweener; on the first frame of the symbol I'm trying to load the class in. But I get a syntax error and an error that says "statement must appear within on/onclipevent handler".
I usually lurk, but on and off over the past 2-3 months...I've been trying to solve a problem and I can't seem to find a good solution for it. Here is my problem: - I have a SWF that acts as a Shell. This shell will contain the Design Template, the functions/class calls to make it run, and a call to the external SWF that contains all the core code classes.
- My main goal for this setup is to separate the front end Design part (which can be edited and modified relatively easily) from the core code. Now the core code is something the person making the Design Template should not have to mess with. They call it and they are done; they can now use the classes for most of the functionality they will need.
- The problem is, when I change the external SWF with the core code and distribute it... the Design Template needs to be recompiled to get any updates the external SWf core code has made. I want this to be done at runtime so that the user will not have to recompile their Design Template when the core code is updated. - Now, I've seen some people talk about a runtime library... but you have to go into the IDE and set things up a certain way or something something... I don't want that. Is there a way to make all this work in actionscript?
If I have an external .as file that contains a function within a public class, how do I call it?I have succesfully used examples, but don't understand the way they are addressed, and get errors when I try to create my own.So if my .as file named external.as contains a public class named exampleClass, which contains a function named doThis(), is it called in CS4 using..
exampleClass.doThis(); or external.doThis(); If it's just exampleClass.doThis(); - how does Flash know where to look for it without
if one can't communicate between mc's external classes how can you create stuff?I have a timer inside each instance form a bomber_mc via a external class:this timer places bom_mc's on the stage from the location of bomber_mc (there are several). But I want to do a do a collisiondetection test with each bom and yet another kanon_mc.can you give me a hint in the right direction?
I have external swf (ext.swf) that is loaded in my FlashDevelop as3 project.When I make check (objectsList[0] is Class1) I am getting false even though the objectsList[0] element is Class1. The Class1 is in the ext.swfBut when I write command like (objectListInExternalSwf[0] is Class1) in external swf and then use that swf in my project and make check (objectsList[0] is Class1)My question is: do I have to use all the classes in my external swf so the compile

Additional Notes:
- Yes, it must be an external SWF. My requirements are adamant about not using an .as file.
- From my tests (though a bit fuzzy and may be flawed) an include statement will work in runtime. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- I've seen some PNG encryption method for games suggested somewhere. I haven't tried this (because encryption isn't the main goal...), but in theory, would this make the code from an updated core code external SWF refresh in realtime without recompiling the Design Template SWF file?
I was doing some search and it seems like it's not possible to use 2 external classes. So I was wonderinge them into one. I tried it in many different ways but it still doesn't work.I'm new to as3.This is the code I would like to merge into the next one:
Code: public class main extends TopLevel { var accord:accordion;
Let's say you have a ton of code in your timeline but none of it is classes. Is it possible to put these into several external .as files? If so, how do you include them?
When I point my code to import an external classes such as:
import flash.display.*;
my understanding is that its referencing something within the flash directory to load up the display classes.
In other instances I create a "com.whatever" directory to store other classes that my code can point to.
Well I was running through the Kirupa tutorial (displaying google maps in flash) and I noticed in the code it says "import [url]..." the swf works just fine but where is it grabbing the google classes from if I didnt create the directory?
Translate this code to an external .as? It's a simple xml tooltip. All is done in the code but i can't figure it out how to translate it to an external .as and have a simple command to call it in whatever project i have.[code]...
Just wondering what classes I need to import into my external as fiule to make the following code work:
public static var loader:Loader = newLoader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, fontLoaded); loader.load(new URLRequest("font.swf"));
I'm an animator by trade and don't have a ton of experience with classes or any advanced programming. Here is what I'm dealing with:
I isolated the code that I'm trying to work with so I don't have to post all the code on here because there is a ton of it. It's in two separate .as files in the same folder, BaseClass.as and Nav.as
Basically I need to put an external interface call where I'm currently tracing "THIS IS WHERE THE CODE NEEDS TO GO" that tells the external interface a new page is being loaded. I was wondering if anyone had any advice trying to get these two .as files to talk to each other.
I'm trying to implement CSVLib in an Air application and am getting an error that seems wholly illogical to me. "1120: Access of undefined property csv." and "1120: Access of undefined property completeHandler."
The only thing I can think is it's not importing the csv class properly, or the class itself is broken somehow? I know my import path is correct because I typed it out directly based on automatic hinting. The code below is copied directly from the how-to wiki on the csv lib site.
