From a component I am working with.....If the target object has a property called source, which is used to set the path and file name of the media file to be loaded, then the list component will automatically set that source property."I am a little confused by what this really means.

Can we put [Bindable] on functions/methods? I know that bindable is used to change the value of the source property to destination property. But not sure if we can use that for methods. why we cannot put/ if we can then what will be the outcome?
View 1 RepliesI have some data-crunching code implemented in ActionScript, and I'd like to call it from JavaScript. The related question [URL] mentions the blog post [URL] which tells me how to do this. All I need now is generating the SWF file from the .as file completely automatically, with a comand-line tool on Linux. How is this possible?
View 4 RepliesI've frequently used variable names for the target but is it impossible to do this:[code]I can't get it to work and I haven't been able to find an example.It doesn't work without the square brackets either.

I am presuming this is because the image hasn't finished reading the png file off the disk yet. What event can I monitor to know when it's width and height will have the right values? The 'Complete' event only seems to work for DOWNLOADED images. The 'Render' event happens EVERY FRAME. The (undocumented?) 'sourceChanged', happens as soon as source changes, and has the same problem! What event do I watch that will let me know when the image's width and height properties will have valid values? Or is there some Synchronous version of I.source='xxx.png', that I don't know about?
P.S. Yes, I know I shouldn't use "C:" in an Air Program. This was just for illustrative purposes, so that you won't suggest I use "Complete", which never even seems to fire when the file indicated by source is local.
how can i stop the object from dragging when the object was already dropped to its target =)

Is there a way to return the target of a Tween object from within the object?
Code:
myTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
trace (this.target)
}
That's obviously not the way you do it, but that's what I want it to be...
I'm not sure if it's possible, but can you override a variable of a parent class like you can override a function? I'm trying to create my own event class that can handle the target property. I have a custom imageLoader class, but when it dispatches it's loading complete event:
ActionScript Code: dispatch(new Event("load_complete")); and a listener picks it up, e.target = null where I would like e.target to equal the imageLoader instance that has finished loading.
Does anyone have an answer or a better way to accomplish what I am aiming for?
I have about 9 buttons on my stage and I want to write code for the rollover and rollout effects, I only want to write the code once so I am trying to pass the button info into a string via evt.target.data and it pass the info properly into my string variable but when I try to set my filter to that variable, setting my movieclip instance name to that variable, I get 2 errors:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property filters through a reference with static type String.Warning: 1072: Migration issue: String is not a dynamic class. Instances cannot have members added to them dynamically.
My code is:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var thumbArray:Array=new Array();
var movieClipLoader:Loader;

Is it possible to grab an event, hold it in a class property, do some action, then, when that action is complete, dispatch an event and then retrieve the original event.target in the listener?I am trying to avoid using a custom event for now, as it is giving me massive amounts of heartburn when dispatching it from a loaded SWF.Here is some code (that doesn't work)what I am attempting to do:
package
{
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
import fl.transitions.Tween;[code]....
I am able to stash the event in a class variable, and then access it later, but the cherry on the icing would be to get it from the event fired withing tweenHandler() in my example above.
Edit: Well,it doesn't look possible.I am currently storing the retrieved event in a property _event and then getting it at a later time when I need it.This seems to work, but isn't wonderful.
I am new to AS3 and to writing classes, but have the following in my class to change the alpha of my button. How do I reference my button in btnOverAction, so I can set its alpha?

Is there method that gets called just before object destroyed? So I can override it.
Like
protected override function beforeDestuction():void
{
trace("This object is about to be destroyed!");
}
I want to do something simple like, "if an object called box is at x = 100, the timeline goes frame 2".

I was recently searching for a way to call the print function on a PDF I was displaying in adobe air. I solved this problem with a little help from this fellow, and by calling postMessage on my PDF like so:
//this is the HTML I use to view my PDF
<object id="PDFObj" data="test.pdf" type="application/pdf"/>
//this actionscript lives in my air app
var pdfObj:Object = htmlLoader.window.document.getElementById("PDFObj");
pdfObj.postMessage([message]);
I've tried this in JavaScript as well, just to be sure it wasn't adobe sneaking in and helping me out..

I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = [];
var slideObject:Object = {
project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?
I found a really weird behavior when using deep copy for objects (ObjectUtil of Flex framework).Imagine we have a class B which extends class A. Class A has property body which is of type ByteArray.I create object b (instance of B). Then I make a deep copy object bCopy, BUT this bCopy object does not contain body property at all! All others properties (of scalar types) defined in Class A are copied properly.When I define property of type ByteArray directly in class B, then this property is copied properly..

View 6 RepliesI have an xml say in following format
[Code].....
What I should do is parse an xml and from its node name create object property and then create an object array based on those property. Am I able to make myself clear.
I have an array name region it has a couple of properties. "code", "name", "value"
I want to store this array in an indexed object called regions.
I would then like to access the object by referring to its sub property name
regions[1].code
regions[1].name
regions[1].value
I can set an array region.code, region.name and region.value but I can not set the regions values
regions[1].code = "abc"
regions[1].name ="alphabet"
regions[1].value =26
note: region is singular and regions is plural(many)
Can someone outline the variable definition and construct so I can access this information. Happy to replace the index field with the code value.

Do not worry about the syntax of this code. Here is my concern - The loader object which is used to send the HTTP request and which has the onLoadComplete event registered to is not referenced from outside the loadSomeContent() function. Is there a possibility that the loader object will be garbage collected and loadCompleteHandler() will never be called?
I have a page with multiple flash objects which are written by a third party and thus can't be changed. They call a JS function but don't seem to pass any identifying parameters. Is there any way to determine inside the function which flash object called it?
View 2 RepliesI'm using an onLoad function (importing variables from a text file) and I'm creating arrays within a for loop in the onLoad function.
I'm using something like this:
Code:
this["dvdAry" + i] = this[indexAry[i]].split("##");
So say the first array is called dvdAry0 .
How can I access that Array from a function? Please note the function, the onLoad function and the arrays are all being created on the same timeline.I've tried tracing the array dvdAry0 from the function after the array is created in the onLoad function, but it comes up as undefined. Is the array created on the object that I'm using onLoad on?I'm using a loadVars Object called loadDVDsText.
Essentially I'm just trying to rotate an object (mc) clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the value of a variable called 'angle'.If 'angle' is positive it should go anticlockwise.If 'angle' is negative it should go clockwise.

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
