ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Not Use Dynamic Class
Feb 1, 2011
I have some trouble trying to create real classes instead of using the dynamic property of the MovieClip class. Here is the thing :1. I created a MovieClip in Flash, named MyClip, compiled as a swf.2. In an actionscript application, I load the swf and I get an instance of the class MyClip that extends MovieClip :
private function loadComplete(event:Event):void {
var MyClip:Class = getDefinitionByName("MyClip");
var myClip:MovieClip = new MyClip();tes of MovieClip ?

i have let's say a folder with more than 15 .as files, each of one represents a class that I want to load in another "main" .as file.
Those 15 .as files are NOT used anywhere else and are not loaded in the library so no instance of those classes exist anywhere.
when I try to load one like this
Code: var theHandlerClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(classPath) as Class; var theHandler:XMLNodeHandler = new theHandlerClass() as XMLNodeHandler; where theHandlerClass will be one of the 15 files I mentioned, I get a Variable is not defined error. classPath is defined by the user. All 15+ classes are subclasses of XMLNodeHandler.
The problem is solved if I create 15+ instances of all the different .as files I have inside main.as, or create 15+ objects in library with all the different classpaths in the "export for as" field, but this something I don't want.
How can I somehow deploy all these .as files so the main .as can see the classes, but without creating objects in library, or instances in main.as .

I need it to create "pieceName1" and "pieceName2" etc.I tried:var this["pieceName" + i]: PieceName = new PieceName();But that didn't work.I tried googling Array Notation but I also couldn't find anything that would help in class declarations.

Is it possible to make a dynamic class in AS3 only accept dynamically created properties if they're a given type?For example, I may only want Sprites to be allowed. So take this quick example class:
public dynamic class Test extends Object{}
And a few quick lines to get an idea of what I mean:
var test:Test = new Test();
test.something = 32; // error
test.something = "party hats"; // error
test.something = new Sprte(); // works
Maybe using the proxy class/namespsace there's a way to manipulate whatever is run when creating variables dynamically?

I have been search for a few days for literature on dynamic instance name in referring to movieClips already on the stage. Each movieClip was set and displayed using the addChild(); and have a set instance name for reference ex. my_mc_x (x = number 1 - 10) I wanted to access these clips whit a tween
var image_assoc:String = ("my_mc_" + num);
trace("Instance Name: " + image_assoc);
I have tried the following
fadeTween = new Tween(this[image_assoc],"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,1,true);
fadeTween = new Tween(this[image_assoc].name,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,1,true);
fadeTween = new Tween(getChildByName(image_assoc),"alpha",None.eas eNone,0,1,1,true);
dynamic reference to objects on the stage from a string that creates the object name to effect the instance of that object.

I have two text fields on main stage, manualy created. So I`m trying to assign them to one class and then to manipulate with their content:
In my fla I have:
ActionScript Code:
var myWinnings:Number = 1111;
var myCoins:Number = 1111;
[Code].....
I just need to assign some value to my TextField. How do I do that?
The thing is, I didn`t create textfield on the run, and I don`t know how to instance it so I can access to it from my class.

I have 50 movie clips in the Library that use Linkage to set the Class name to: Img1, Img2, Img3, ..., Img50. I have a parent class named RandImg. I want the constructor for RandImg to randomly select one of the 50 movie clips from the Library and display it. I could get this working by generating a random number, and then writing a really huge switch statement to associate each possible random number with its respective Library Movie Clip Class name, but I would much rather do this with a dynamic/variable class name based on the random number, such as:

Ive been using Flash since version 4, mainly just to draw and create Frame by Frame Animations. Only recently have found a need for dynamic applications.Ive been following the tutorial for the simple photo gallery/portfolio here.URL...Ive noticed that the way the buttons/thumbnails created in this example doesnt give me control over the way the buttons themselves behave on the individual level. Such as things like different colors/sounds/ on events, or whatever. Can anyone help me to understand how to make a button class or something that may already have these properties set, and then dynamically assign it to the thumbnails?

I'm working on a particle emitter, and I want to be able to pass in custom sprites (one for smoke, one for fire, et cetera). They are instanced on in the library as separate classes, but I want to be able to call a function like, "ParticleEmitter.SetSprite(Smoke)", then have it start creating instances of the smoke class.
The problem is, I don't know how to pass in a class name as an argument or how to use it to create copies. Is there any way to do this, or would it be best if I just put all my different particles inside a MovieClip and set the frame for each one it created?

I am creating a text class for label purposes with the code below. This works as expected when added to stage within a container. But after reassigning the textfield.text a different text, all the formatting is gone.

I have a character animation which i control from within a class "character"this class references a movieclip with e.g. 3 frames: "idle", "walk_right", "walk_left".these frames contain the animation movieclips.
so when the character moves left i use "gotoAndStop("walk_left")
so far so good, but:the character has some parts which need to be colorized according to the dynamic classes value "color".

I have a main menubar.fla file, which has a document class on it linking to a menubar.as. the as3 file is just some simple Papervision3d stuff, and creates a few buttons on the stage from the library. Here you can see the project as it is now I am trying to make it so when your mouse leaves, the the head will tween back to facing forward. But to find the mouse leaveing, I am using the code found HERE In an FLA without a document class, it works fine, but when I add it to my menubar.fla I get the errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
TextField.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript.
The first one comes from the text box alone on the stage.I had a similar problem when adding the buttons, that eventually made me link them for actionscript and just create them directly in the AS file, because placing them on the stage threw similar errors. I would do that for this code too, but according to the source site, "This event is only available added to the stage."

This is a bump and additional thought. The leap to my 1500k file happens when initial bandwidth detection happens as bandwidth is high. Then the computer can not handle playback of a 1500k file. Is there a way to force the player to actually start playing the 300k stream before making any step up to a higher stream?[URL].. Bitrate of currently playing stream is displayed in big numbers on the page. To see the problem you will need an older laptop or computer which would have trouble playing back a a high bitrate video stream.
the stream is dynamically switching through the DynamicStreamItem list of the same file at different bitrates. It works but the switching seems to take way too long. When the default file at 300k loads, the bandwidth test happens and the 1500k file loads. Then on a slow CPU machine the file switches back down as it sees frames are being dropped. This switching is happening way too slowly, it takes a good 45 seconds to switch its way down through the various files from 1500k to 300k again on an old powerPC laptop which can only play successfully at that rate.

I have created a MovieClip with a custom class that has a dynamic text field (called "textArea"), which I want to modify by the Component Inspector, as well as via a custom method using: textArea.text = newText;
It works fine in all cases and there are no problems, but the compiler still wants to give me the error: 1120: Access of undefined property textArea.
The error doesn't appear when I remove the component parameters (so that it's just a normal MovieClip). It still works, even with the error, so I'm not sure why it wants to complain. Am I doing something wrong or is it just being bitchy?

I have a dynamic class, which has an array declared normally, before runtime.Usually, you can dynamically access a variable, whether it has been declared or not with
myClass["variable"] = 4;
however, trying to do this with an array, like so
myClass["array[0]"] = 4;
does not store 4 into the first element of array, and instead stores it into the variable "array[0]". For instance, after executing the previous code,
trace(myClass.array[0]);
traces undefined, where as
trace(myClass["array[0]"]);
traces 4.
Is there anyway I can access the elements of the array dynamically?

I am a bit puzzled why this does not work when placed in my document class, but works when directly added a key frame in the Flash IDE.
ActionScript Code:
this['myVar1'] = new Object();
When within the document class I get this error when compiled,
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property myVar1
I have tried the following but I still get an error.
ActionScript Code:
public static var root_Ref:Object;
root_Ref = root;
root_Ref['myVar1'] = new Object();
