ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Make A Separate Class For Each Soundclip
Nov 23, 2011
I am making a little story thing which is sort of like a slideshow but I use sound in many parts of it. I searched online and the AS3 way of doing it seemed to be linking an imported sound clip to a class. My question is: Do I really have to make a separate class for each soundclip or is there an easier way of doing this if I plan to use these sounds multiple times? For reference, it should be roughly 434 sounds by the time I'm done
I've been searching around trying to work this out for a while now. There's been various ideas popping up, like dispatchEvent etc but nothing that seems to be a clear, simple way of doing this.What I'm trying to do is call a function from a class seperate (but in the same folder as) my document class.Specifically, I want to 'spawn' an object and run a function within that object's class from my Main.as.The snippet I have at the moment is as follows;
In Main.as: var object:class_Object = new class_Object(); object.spawn();
I've been hitting dead ends while programming lately all over, and I finally came to the realization all the code I have that is broken is because I don't know how to interact with instances of one class from within another. Here's the gist of what I am trying to do:
The problem is, if I address a single instance that is on the canvas, I get "access to undefined property targetClip", even though the document class can interact with it fine. If I target the class file of targetClip, I get "Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject". It isn't just a problem with hitTest either, I'm having this problem with other actions, so there is some basic syntax I'm failing to comprehend.
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 am new to AS3 and I want to organize my code as what I did in C++, which I can have a .h and .cpp file. Is there any way to organize code like this in AS3? [code]....
I have an xml gallery sort of that works fine when I have the code not as a class, in first frame in Flash. So I decided I wanted to port it into a class and the problem I get is at: thumb = new Thumbnail(xmlList[i].image); It expects 0 arguments. How come that line of code works in first frame in flash but not as a class? There is a movieclip in the library called thumb with linkage of Thumbnail.
Below if the code when used in first frame: PHP Code: var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pics.xml"); var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xml:XML; var xmlList:XMLList; urlLoader.load(urlRequest); [Code] .....
I am trying to condense my code so i can use only one IF statement to change audio clips for multiple button rollovers. When rolloving over button 1 for example, i made a string variable (mySoundString) appear that is mySound1(this is the name of the audio file i want to play). However, i cant do the command mySoundString.play(); because it is a string. How do i turn the string into a new sound.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code: var mySound1:aud1=new aud1; var mySound2:aud2=new aud2 for(var i =1;i<3;i++){
I have a button which loads a sounclip into a movieclip: [AS]_root.myMusic = new Sound(emptyMC); _root.myMusic.loadSound("song1.mp3", true);[/AS] It will load the sound and play and stream it ... but in my output I constantly get this every sec: Error opening URL "file:///E|/Dir/Dir/Dir/undefined".
private function createContent(slideData:Object):void { if (slide){
[Code]....
Now when i remove or add a slide I would like it to appear with a transition, I would like to create a separate class to put the different transitions in using tweenlite. How would I approach this the best way? So to sum up, when I add or remove a child, the transitions class gets called, it returns a transition and the slide gets animated when its added or removed.
Issue : Each swf which imports the same static class seem to have a seperate instance of that class.cenario: 2 seperate .swf's import the same static class. The Static class named Static has a setter function named test which has the default value of 'NO'. Swf A sets the value 'Yes' for the setter function and loads in swf B. Swf B then trace the value for the test method of the Static class but swf B traces the default value instead of the value set by swf a.
I would love to figure out a solution so I can keep using statics since I currently depend on them to do a wide variety of things in my current project.
I need 20 separate timers, to be used with 10 separate objects, and need to be able to start, stop, and edit the delay time of each timer separately.
My question is; would having 23 timers going on simultaneously slow the program down, and is there a quick or easy way to mass-create and mass-edit timers (arrays? for/next loops? I'm pretty new to ActionScript...)
So my preloader is working nicely. But how do I make the preloader an MC by itself? So that I can neaten up the main timeline, and also it will make it easier to reuse the preloader if its, its own MC.
When my document class attempts to instantiate a class in a separate package I get the error:1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.This is in reference to the following line:[code]As you can see, I have imported the package:[code]And here is the class that expects 0 arguments:[code]As you can see I properly labeled the Level1 class as part of the Levels package:[code]
Is it possible to refer to a variable in a class file separate from the one you are working in? Say Class1.as had a variable named "exampleVar", and in Class2.as you wanted to put something like "exampleVar++;". Is this possible and if so how would it be achieved?
I've done a search and found out about LocalConnections but I don't seem to be able to apply them to my issue.
I have two separate SWF files that appear on the same web page. Both are simple animations and all I want is when the first has finished playing for the second to start, and them when that has completed restart the first one again (and so on...).
I'm also guessing that in order for this to work I'll need some code in the first SWF to detect that the second has finished loading otherwise nothing will happen when the first SWF reaches the end.
I made a .fla with some inline coding and some classes. In the .fla actionscript I have a function to read thru the object display list. Its the standard one found everywhere, where it recurses thru the objectdisplaycontainers. This works fine.
Then i gave the stage it own classname and moved the actionscript into a seperate .as file as well.
Suddenly, ik get this : Line 271 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DisplayObjectContainer. the code line is : function traceDisplayList(container:DisplayObjectContainer, indentString:String = ""):void
bit of an odd problem, I have the following piece of code
Code: var myCookie:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("mySavedData","/") if(myCookie.data.mySavedText != undefined) { var gallerypath:String = myCookie.data.mySavedText; } which retrieves a shared data.
If I put this actionscript on the first frame of a new document, it works fine, however I want to use it in something I already have, which uses an external Document class.
Basically I am making a flash website and it is due in next week and I can get a gallery working by putting the actionscript onto a frame inside the flash file however I was just informed that I must make a seperate action script file instead of putting it on the frame.[code]...
Is it possible to make a collision detection between a separate movie clip and another movie clip that is with a movieclip thats on the same layer as the seperate one?
Imagine you have a MC used as a container for several other MC's used as buttons.Now, should I use the class of the container to listen for and to dispatch events. OrShould I create a seperate class for each MC inside of the container to listen for and to dispatch events.
In summary: One class for all, or several smaller classes dedicated to their respective MC.How far should one go with abstraction?.
What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?
The problem is that i want to make a button that when i click on it open the gallery AS popup in a separate hrtml page + all the configuration[code]...
I have a movie clip within file A.fla. This movie has buttons. Each of the buttons should go to their respective frame within a movie clip from a separate file.
how to make the individual icons open separate menu once clicked in the way the iPhone does i know i would have to use an eventListener and basic tweening to make the new screens appear in the iphone like way but i just don't know how i would use this:
import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; var sliderBind:Rectangle = new Rectangle(2.25, 1.20, 174, 0); homeScreenInterface_mc.visible = false;
