I was wondering how do you name variable in your class? I mean like i give function params and variables names like these:[code]Where the "i" would show the type and so on. So how do you name your variables to make it easier for you to work with them?
View 6 RepliesI 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."
I am creating a Weapon class for a game and the weapons itself will be the sub classes. The sub classes will hard code some values (such as max ammo and the weapon name).
I trying to access this declared data in the base class constructor, at the moment it's not outputting the values. Is this possible?
I've broken my Weapon class for simplicity:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
My current workaround is creating a protected method in the base class to trace the information and calling that method in the sub class's constructor, this works fine but this doesn't seem like the most efficient technique?
Now I would like to use the variable out of class1 in class2 and change the value there.Afterwords use class2 in the main, but I get an error message. Why?
ActionScript Code:
//class No. 1 "MyClass1.as"

What is the correct syntax to initiate a function in a class similar to constructing an associative array? I have a function that's custom variables is ballooning out and I'd like to label them in the call for sanity sake.
currently:
myClass.myClassFunction("hello world",999,0xff0000);
desired:
myClass.myClassFunction(myText:"hello world",myNumber:999,myColor:0xff0000);
and the class itself for reference:
class com.myClass {
public var myText:String;
public var myNumber:Number;

Is it "better" to initialize AS3 class variables in the class constructor? Or can I just initialize them to their default value when I declare them at the top of my class? I ask because when there's a lot of class variables, it appears inefficient to declare them in one place and then initialize them in another when I could easily do both in the same place. It one option is better than the other,

I have two .fla files. One of my .fla files consist of 15+ .as files; we'll call this one XML editor. The other .fla file consists of 10+ .as files; we'll call it the interface.
The xmleditor.swf loads the interface.swf. Within the xmleditor.swf, a login screen appears and the enduser logs in as either a "user" or an "admin". The "user" or "admin" is stored in a public variable called "userType". The userType variable is created in one of the many xmleditor.fla .as files called Login.as.
Once logged in, xmleditor loads the interface.swf. interface.fla uses 10+ .as files. one is called nodeNames.as I need an if statement in nodeNames.as that is something like this:
if (Login.userType == "user"){
trace("do something");
}
I have the following FlashVars.as file but I have no idea what the steps are to make it work.

Or is there an easier way to access the variable?

I have a bunch of variables in a class. There are situations when I want to set then to null/ "temp" etc as per a well defined logic. The challenge is to list out the variables at multiple places- tedious and error-prone.
classname.speed=NaN
classname.speedtype="not_set"
classname.distance=NaN
classname.distancetype="not_set"
would prefer a way to refer to these variables programatically and set something like "for all class variables- if variable ends in type, set as "not_set"; for other variables set as NaN How can I achieve this?

I want to create a "release" method for my classes which will basically remove all event listeners and null any properties so that the garbage collector can do it's job. I would like to put this method in the base class which other classes will extend so that I don't need to manually write this method for each class.
Is it possible to run a for loop through all the properties of a class so I can null them without knowing what they are?
I've tried "flash.utils.describeType (this)" which will only give me public variables in the returned XML.

I was wondering if they found a better way of allowing the use of variables outside of an on function. For example in the script below I can use the variable bounds inside the target.onEnterFrame function because it's declared inside the constructor. However I can't use m_Bounds even though it's declared in the class.[code]...

I have a class Grid which produces a graph paper like grid on in the drawing area. I then have 5 other classes for different shapes to draw with; Line, Polygon, Ellipse, Curve, Arc Now, these 5 classes use an instance of Grid because Grid has a resolution and a scale. Inside Grid I have:
public function set resolution(x:Number):void {
_gap = (modBy10(x) / 10);
_scale = (modBy10(x) / (this.resolution * _scale));
[code]....
I'm just lost for a solution on how to update every instance of my 5 drawing classes when Grid is changed.For instance, Polygon is made up of multiple instances of Line, Line(length, angle) where "length" is in either in, ft, cm, or m. If the user wishes to change the scale from say 10ft per 100px resolution to 20ft per 80px.. Is there an easier way than re-drawing every Line inside Polygon?
I have a project that works quite beautifully right now. I have come to my next task. Creating swfs that are loaded into another swf. This newly loaded swf needs to grab some variables from the main swf's document class or global variables class that I have created. I have set the class path as such that it can access the classes as needed. I did not set a document class.
Structure of loaded swf:
core.swf -> loadedBackground.swf -> interactive.swf
1.) Classes are all located in a folder titled classes
2.) cores.swf is outside the classes folder and is linked to document class within the classes folder: BuildCourse.as
3.) swfs folder contains the loadedBackground.swf and interactive.swf
4.) How can interactive.swf grab variables from the main.swf after it is compiled?
