ActionScript 3.0 :: Get List Of Library Classes Exported On First Frame?
May 20, 2009
What I want to do is compile an .fla with nothing on the stage but several of the movieclips are set to export on first frame in the properties linkage manager. When the .swf runs, I want to loop through and get the names of all the exported assets so I can place them in an array and manipulate them later.
I want to turn the code over to the art team where all they have to do is attach my .as file for the document class. I will not know what they name their movieclips, yet they are instructed to name them alphabetically according to what order they should appear. (My code is a sort of self contained slide show).

A Flash movie loads another movie that contains various asserts - movie clips in its library with 'Export for Action Script' settings set.
Is there any way to determine the list of class names of all these exported asserts from within the movie that loads them?

1. I need Import MovieClip from Library into Current Frame (Current Frame mean, if we on frame 1, the movieclip will show on frame 1)
2. Hmm... i guess if we make Browsers on Flash its IMPOSSIBLE lol...
3. Do you know Windows ?, if we click and hold the title bar it will dragging, and if we click and hold the inside of windows, it will NOT Dragging.
4. Load an EXTERNAL SWF.
5. Load an External MUSIC or SOUND.
6. Save Current Setting, like changing the username it will ask you want to save your current setting?, yeah like that. the game is shooting, kicking, punching. there's Enemies, Traps, and Fall into Fire or something he will die.. i need basic of it..

When I load an swf dynamically using the Loader, is there any way that I can retrieve the symbols that are exported as as3 classes? I know I can instantiate the symbols when I know the classname using loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(fullyQualifiedName) as Class But I can't find something like applicationDomain.getDefinitions() which would result an array of fully qualified classnames, like

I am trying to use AsDoc on the code of one of my projects in flash. Some of the classes that I use inside the code are "exported for actionscript" classes from my FLA file. Of course the AsDoc compiler complains that those classes are not defined anywhere. Does anyone know how to make it ignore these class types?

I have an application using a class that was originally a MovieClip exported for Actionscript by Flash. I have not been able to figure out how to add new properties to this class.

I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?

I have several SWF's (secondary) published that I want to load into a main (primary) SWF file when the corresponding button is released. I'm currently using loadMovie to load external SWFs into a container_mc on main stage of primary SWF. This works, the secondary SWF loads when it's button is released.But, the secondary SWF has items in it's library that Export for Actionscript, and they should load onto the secondary SWFs stage inside a container_mc (has a different instance name from the one used in main stage). These library items are not showing up. One should load immediately, the others after button releases. None are loading.Should this work? Will items in the library of the secondary SWF that are set to Export for Actionscript be available to load once the secondary SWF is loaded into the primary SWF? Do I have to share the library of the loaded SWF with the main SWF?

I have a symbol named picHolder. In symbol properties under linkage, I chose "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in frame 1" and gave it a class name of picHolder.Normally, to instantiate a new instance, I'd say:
Code:
var tempPic:picHolder = new picHolder();
and I'd go about my way.

I've finished a game and now I'm in the process of installing the mochiads preloader. The problem is that all of my exported assets load before the preloader.So I searched around learned that there are a few things that I must do:-Turn off "export on first frame"-Set classes to export on frame 3-Put all of my exported assets in a movieclip on frame 2Now this does shift everything to load on frame 2, except the problem is that all of these assets are now absent from my game for some reason. I get no errors or anything

Is there any way to get a list of custom classes? I'd like to be able to dynamically access the custom classes (that I've created by the "Export for Actionscript" checkbox in the "Linkage" dialog) without having to hard-code their names into the script.

Is there a way in AS 3 to list all classes and their associated methods? Or at least a way to list the methods within a particular class?
It seems that it's all so overwhelming and although I'm well versed in Lingo and have a handle on the Lingo dictionary,I feel as though the AS 3 library is dauntingly big.

I'm working on a project where I need a sort of quick list of class functions.
To clarify, say a user starts typing MovieClip. I want to bring up a list of classes as the user starts typing, complete with the package name. Kind of like the action you get when typing in a Google search or something.
Really, I just need to find an XML or JSON list of all classes, including packages, that I can load when the application loads up, so that I can create the quick list.
I've been scouring the net, but perhaps I'm not formatting my search query quite right, and I'm getting no hits.
I'd really hate to have to create a program that goes through the LiveDocs and parses all of the HTML to output a file with all of the classes.

I've created a carousel class which takes one parameter, an array of menu item names, these will then be displayed on the carousel. I've then created two movieclips for the left and right controls, added them to the library and given them classes of their own.Within the carousel class I instantiate instances of the two control classes which then enables me to add event listeners for rollover and rollout.
What I'd like to know is, is this the best way to do this short of creating the controls using pure actionscript?I'd like to not have to add the class properties for the left and right controls and have a situation where I could just give them the right name and they would work or maybe pass them in as parameters and use them that way.

I'm having some doubts about how to access some features of embedded files and loaded.
For example, I created a .fla and added a symbol to your library - a MovieClip with name and class circle. Then convert the .fla to .swf, thus becoming test.swf.[code]...

I have just started my first project using AS3.0 and Flash 9 this week.I feel like I know AS3.0 from my flex experience very well, but it is downscaled for Flash 9. Anyway I have looked for this issue in the forums and maybe I am just missing something.I have a class we'll call MyClass which extends Sprite. I have several methods in there that update things like rotation and position based on events it is listening for via the model. I even have a trace statement in the constructor for testing.
Now maybe this is just stupidly obvious but when ever I set a library element to link with the class (i.e. linkage = MyClass), all my script fails to work. If I remove that linkage and work from a purely data perspective it works as expected.I have the project settings to Flash 9 and AS3.0 so that shouldn't be an issue.

The one thing that was never covered (that I read) was how to set up your library. As a result, I have been guilty of starting a project folder and copy/pasting all of the classes I need into each project folder. (As a result I have like 30 copies of TweenLite on my PC). I have done some searching, but the topic seems elusive... I have also read where most people use a reverse web address format (e.g., "com.site.page"). So my questions: Is there a standard way of setting up a library for your classes?WHERE does the "com" folder live on the directory (ex: c:com, or c:Adobecom, etc).How do YOU have your library set up?

I'm making the game Breakout as an AS3 application using OOP. I am getting very confused though. I know that objects should be only responsible for themselves. But this is where I get stuck, they need to communicate as some level to add and remove screens, and I am getting majorly confused as to what is going too far, when it could maybe achieved in a simpler more OOP way. I've worked out the hierarchy of my classes, in terms of where they are being added (I think). I've added a screenshot of the hierarchy.
Have I got the order right based on OOP principles? Like, Introscreen will listen for play being pressed then call a method of the document class that will remove introscreen and then attach gamescreen. Is that right? Another thing that puzzples me. It seems to me if I made a level and put the paddle and the ball in that, then arranged all the bricks in that level, that I'd be duplicating work (based on the fact I need paddle and ball for level 2 also). So it would be best if I could have gamescreen with paddle and the ball and then add level1/2/3 to display list which would therefore set up the appropriate brick placement. But then, wouldn't that mean that I couldn't do hittests because my level 1/2 or 3 wouldn't be a sibling to the bat and the ball, them residing as a sibling in the level's parent class?

I have created a list of Classes in a school in Excel and saved it as an XML file. In each row it contains the name of the class followed by a list of class members. In col 1 is the word "Class", in the next col is "7C1" ( or equivalent) then each cell after that contains the names of the class members. I can load the XML file no problem, and display the full contents using 'trace', but I don't seem to be able to extract just the class names and student names to use in a Flash application. The code I'm using so far is attached.

I have several Flex applications in a project, and I would like to know if there's a way to get a list of the classes (and ideally, other assets) that are being compiled into each one. I want an easy way of making sure I've kept things separate and there aren't unnecessary dependencies. Any ideas? I'm running Flash Builder 4.

I would like people to be able to change this custom scrollItem class, but as the scroller class has some interaction with this scrollItem class (sets id etc), I have the scrollItem class implement an interface to guarantee the presence of the required methods.This works fine, but only if I keep the type of the scrollingItem class within the scroller class. I would prefer to substitute in the interface type for each scrolling item. However, I cant, as the interface is not a DisplayObject. I can get around this by casting the interface type as a DisplayObject whenever it needs to do DisplayObject type things, but this seems like a hideous hack.

I am starting to create classes instead of using the timeline and I am learning a lot more even if mistakes happen more often. However I have a question about linkage & library. For example let say that I have a ball pic called Ball1.mpg. I copy and past that Ball1.mpg in my folder where the Fla file is as well as the as file. If I want to utilize this Ball1.mpg in my code using Flash do I absolutely need to import into my library and link it and export using linkage? Or can I use the object Ball.1mpg just using actionscript. Of course that implies that I would use an actionscript class not the timeline.

How do you access Library items from classes other than the document class?For example, if I create a movie clip in Flash and Export it for Actionscript with the name Foo, I can do this in the document class:
Code: Select allvar f = new Foo();
this.addChild(f);
And it appears on the stage, as it should. But I need to be able to create other instances of this object from other classes. If I use the same code above in SomeOtherClass.as, I get nothing on the stage, obviously because this class doesn't know about the Foo object in the library.
