why my image won't load when I have it's class referenced from the document class rather that being in the document class?
This produces no errors and the second class traces the note, but it doesn't load the image.

I have two classes, one called car, one called game. When the user drives a car off the map, i wish to remove the car from the map, do some fiddling with vars (lifes etc) and then re-add the child.But i get the following error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.. I think it is because the car class is still trying to control the car even though it is being removed.

I'm trying to load a RSL library into a flash animation developed with Flash CS5 IDE, that extends a custom class and implements an interface. I have reduced the problem to the simplest setup and find that I can have my main class extend another class or implement an interface, but not do both at the same time if I want to load an RSL.I have a very simple class to extend:
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MySprite extends Sprite
{[ code]...........
but if I want both I get the VerifyError: Error #1014 with MySprite not found and ReferenceError: Error #1065.
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
I'm new to Flash AS3. I started making a game and I am a bit confused. Let's assume that I want to create a game that has multiple levels/modes, how can I do this in an object orientated way?
When i create games in other languages e.g. XNA C#, i create a separate class then create an object of that class within the main class and run the game based on a simple statement.

I need a simple way to load an external image referenced in an XML file, into a layer (named "avatar") in my flash project..By default I want it to load this image as soon as the flash widget is opened.And how would I position the image, say in the center, or wherever?

i have my site in an external Main class that i want to add to the stage in ANY fashion that keeps it on frame 35, after the swf has been fully loaded. i found that if i add my Main class to a MovieClip that's already on the stage, it loads fine in the frame it's supposed to load in, but i get an error saying "main_mc_1 instance symbol doesn't exist" or something similar. which is weird, because the instance name of the containing movie clip is just "main_mc" not "main_mc_1". anyway, straight up addChild() directly to the stage, bandwidth profiler shows it obviously loading in frame 1. which is confusing me bigtime. i have the latest flash cs4 (10.0.2) and i'm exporting my classes in frame 35. i have no document class set.
here's the code i'm using to add the class (which extends MovieClip) in frame 35 ...
Code:
import com.mysite.Main;
stop();
var main:Main = new Main();
addChild(main);
is there any other method i can use to keep my site here instead of frame 1? i want to avoid using a separate preloader .fla/swf entirely, because i have a bunch of stage.onResize stuff in my Main class. all of my initialization etc. is done within an ADDED_TO_STAGE event listener handler so that nothing happens until Main is actually added to the stage.
I have two classes. The Main class calls a function, which is defined in a Second class.I'm getting the following error:Error 1120: Access of undefined property myFunctionBasically, I am creating buttons in the Main class that will add a corresponding Child to an Object in the Second class (if you click one button, child x1 will be added, if you click another button, child x2 will be added, and so forth).Here's the relevant code for the Main.as file:

I have question regarding removing instantiated objects. Let's say i have a main class in which i instantiate a custom video player (or whatever) class:
Code:
...
var videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer(...);
addChild(videoPlayer);
...
And inside VideoPlayer class i have of course dozens of objects (movie clips, sprites representing different parts of VideoPlayer) and dozens of event listeners attached to them. My question is, if i want to remove this VideoPlayer class from my main class is it enough to just do:

I have a initApp.as which instantiates a class which needs to access the "currentState" property and the States array as well. However we cannot get this to work as we cannot see how we can access this information.
Within initApp.as currentState is accessed via "this.currentState". This does not work in the class which is instatiated within initApp.as. The following error is thrown:
"Access of undefined property currentState."

From my experience, if i don't destroy for example event listeners from my VideoPlayer class and just remove VideoPlayer class the way described they still get fired with null exception messages etc. This is something that's bugging me for a while so i would really like to know what's best thing to do here?
I have a main class which listens for an event dispatched from another class say class A. Also there are other classes say class B, class C etc.There is a controller class.Classes B, C dispatches events that gets listened by the controller and works well.But the events dispatched by the Class A doesn't get listened by the main class.What might be the problem. Detailed Explanation of the problem.There is a main mxml file.
Class files are in:
ProcessInput.as
DBController.as
ShortMemDB.as ....etc
The main mxml file gets the input from a textArea. Sends the input to the capturedInput (input:String) function using set method which is in the ProcessInput Class.Now I need to dispatch events NORMAL, COMMAND depending on the input obtained after the processing, where I'm having problems. The reason is that if the event NORMAL is dispatched a particular function inside the DBController is to be called. If COMMAND event is dispatched then I need to call another function. This idea doesn't work since the events doesn't get listened.But the events dispatched by the CSDB class when listened by the DBController works well.
Using ActionScript can I do with my game, which is running in a browser, verify that the user already has the files needed to run the game installed on your computer? If he had these files do not need anything else that was born and can play the game immediately. If he did not have the files, they would be loaded so that the browser does not erase these files. So when he returned to play the same game day after,as the files already on your computer, nothing need be loaded.How do I remove one of the main memory image that was loaded using the Loader class? I tried using the unload () method but nothing happened.
View 2 RepliesI'm not sure that I'm on the right track here. I've got what is essentially a 'gateway' movieclip and depending on the CLICK a corresponding movieclip (form) is loaded -- these all being in their own AS file. There are multiple corresponding pages that will all load/close in their own fashion but the 'gateway' will reload in it's own function-- consequently, I have this function on the main_AS. Can I trigger this function from the sub class or do I need to move the 'reload' function to a 'reload' class.
View 2 RepliesI am refactoring a hugh action script solution in Flash builder (beta 2) using the flex 4 sdk.The project does NOT use the mx framework.What i want to have is:
A big 'MAIN' project several small 'MODULE' projects. each 'MODULE' class refrences the 'MAIN' project as an External reference (doesnt compile into swf) - this is done by setting link type = external in the 'MODULE' project properties -> library path.'MAIN' loads a 'MODULE' project on runtime using the 'loader' class.
the problem:I recieve an error from the MODULE project: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class [some class in MAIN] could not be found.
I am trying to get an instance of a class to the load an external swf and show it.So far I have the following:
1) I wrote a class that uses the Loader class to load an external swf "loadExtSWF".
2) I have a fla named "MainSWF.fla" that uses a document class "MainSWF.as".
3) I have the MainSWF.as file that instances "loadExtSWF" and calls loadExtSWF.startLoad to load the swf.
This almost works. The instance of loadExtSWF loads the external swf, but the swf is not displayed.If I replace the fla's document class with loadExtSWF (this has an empty constructor) instead of MainSWF, and run loadExtSWF.startLoad, then the external swf is loaded and displayed.[code]
Iīm making a game and now I wonder if itīs good practice to have a class named Main for my game. I was thinking about to have a Preloader, Console and Game classes. Now I donīt know anymore. Maybe itīs better to have a Main class that loads including a preloader, which loads Console wich loads Game.
Thatīs the better way to making a game application? Iīm talking about best practices.
why if yes there has to be a Main class that extends Sprite?
i want to add to stage a movieclip in another class not the .as file as the same name of .fla file how can i get this.When i run same code in main.as i get the result but in another class it runs but no result.

I have a problem with classes. What I am trying to do is this: I create a main class and then i import another class into it.then I create an instance of the new class and add it to the stage.the problem occurs when im trying to use the new classes methods.

My first experience is build an aquarium with a lot of fish swimming, and they can be clicked. When one of them is clicked we should receive a trace message saying ("Iïŋ―m a Fish!"). To do this, I thought that the best way will be:
1- create a document class, named Main.as
2- create a base class, named Clicked.as
2- create a movie clip with a fish.
3- export the movieclip to actionscript. In the mc properties set Class as "fish" and Base Class as "Clicked".
i have a game that i want to put load screen on, which i created a separate class for. first the main class is initialized and in the constructor function, it does an addChild(loadScreen) which places an instance of the loadScreen MC on the stage. within the loadScreen is a "Play Button" that when a user presses this button i want it to continue startGame in the Main class. the way i tried it was Main.startGame from the loadScreen class, but that obviously does not work. is it possible to call a function from a different class.i have three files:
Main.fla
Main.as
loadScreen.as
the Main.as file:
Code:
package
{
import flash.text.*;
import flash.display.*;

I'm having some issues with images loading from another class other than the document class.
I currently have two classes: Loader and GamePanel.
I also made a picture into a MovieClip type with a self generated class.
When I use the Loader to construct it :: new someBackground().
And addChild, it appears.
But if I construct the GamePanel class and call the generation of that same background, it does not appear. I'm currently using actionscript 3.
I have lots of images in the library (tile1.png, tile2.png, tile3.png...) each of which are on one frame of my Tile MovieClip. My Tile class which was created when I made the Tile movieclip and pressed export for actionscript also contains some other data such as height, texture, movementCost... et cetera.
I would like to take all the stuff out the library, and load the images from a local folder, have them loaded into my "Tile" class so that when I make a new Tile object and in my main fla file if I write addChild(someTile) it will draw the tile image to screen.
Basically what I am asking is how I can do this:
Create new movieClip (Tile) object and put it in the library
Export the new MovieClip (Tile) for as3, so it gets its own class (Tile.as)
import all my pngs from local folder into the library
put them all on a seperate frame on my new movieclip (Tile)
var myTile:Tile=new Tile();
myTile.gotoAndStop(x);
addChild(myTile);
WITHOUT using the library. I want to be able to do this with only as3 if it's possible.
