The header says it all. I am trying to import a couple of classes without attaching a document class to the fla file. Is this possible? I have the class path set as appropriate (I think) in the publish settings since my fla is located inside a swf folder and my classes folder is located outside the swf folder. Its how my project is organized.
Class path set: "..classes"
how to get a Class file up and going in Flash and that works fine but say I want to import other classes. I try "import testCass" above in my import statements section of my as file and that doesn't work. What do I have to do to get that to work?
View 6 RepliesI'm just wondering about the difference between using an external .as file as a Document Class vs importing it via some timeline code like:
Code:
import Pixoid;
var pixMC:Sprite = new Pixoid();
pixMC.x = 0[code]...
one thing I have noticed is that altho the above timeline code works certain objects return the "null object" error.for example if in my Pixoid.as file I have any references to the 'stage' object ex:
Code:
pxRow = stage.stageWidth / 10;
it returns
Code:"Error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."so, is there any advantage to using the import strategy vs the Document Class one? should I not worry about it and continue on my happy way with the Document Class?I first ran into this problem with Flex and had to do some kludges to get around it - defining UIContainer object etc - but now that I have found it to also exist in Flash.
I have 2 as3 files, which are the classes used . I have to use it with the main flash movie.. How will I include those as3 files without using document class..

View 1 RepliesFor the example, there's a single FLA with a document class "main.as." In the public class main.as package, there is a public variable: "var example:String='example';." Inside of the FLA, there is one movie clip in the library and it is assigned a custom base class "sub.as." The movie clip is then placed on the first frame of the stage so its constructor is run at runtime and reads the value of example.
What is the proper way to get the value of "example" in the root document class? Using "root.example" in the sub.as class to target the document class returns an error and when I trace "root", I get "null." Main.example naturally throws an error because that's looking at the actual class and not the movie / stage its attached to.The round-about way I've done it before is to dynamically add the object in the library and pass in the root path when I create a new instance of it (example: submc:sub = new sub(this); ).Is there anyway to get back to the document class with a built-in method like root, etc?
I am trying to load external classes into a document class and initialize the page by loading one of them (which loads xml and videos) I feel like I should be able to do this but have not found documentation on this. Below is the code i am using...

I am trying to use the CSVLib from [URL].. However; when trying to use one of the examples I get an "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript."This is what I did.Extracted the files, then moved all FLA, AS and CSV files in the root (where also the COM folder resides). Then added the import statement to the Applicaiton file and defined document class.
View 2 RepliesI am working on text adventure game which will have at least a few components (a text area for narrative and text input for user input) on the stage at all times. Therefore, I have created those components statically through Flash's WYSIWYG design environment. I gave them instance names "myTA" and "myTI" respectively. I was able to get my main class (the document class for the stage) to interact with them (dynamically adding text one character at a time like a typewriter at runtime), but other classes in the same package don't seem able to recognize the stage components. Below is the relevant code:

View 5 RepliesIs there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)
I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");

My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.
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;

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?
I have been practicing and trying to understand how classes work and I was wondering if it is possible to create a class that can be reused by declearing the class only once in my fla file. Rightnow I create an instance of the class than I asign it to a MovieClip the problem is that I can only use it once and if I want to use it again I have to create another instance of the same class, something like this.

I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.
View 9 RepliesSo I had a working .fla, with a document class package in the same directory. Everything was fine, until moving both to a new directory, now the fla cannot find the document class. WTF?
View 2 RepliesThis will sound odd, but I would like to find a way for Flash to declare one instance of each class inside a package. That is to say, if a package com.rezmason.stuff contains five classes, some code makes an instance of each class in an array; but if, later on, I take out two classes, that same code only makes an instance for each of the three remaining classes within the package. Later still, if I add seven classes, the same code makes an instance fore each of those ten classes.
I doubt that this is possible, but I figured that if anyone would know, it would be you folks. Code with this kind of flexibility would greatly simplify managing the code in a project that frequently has classes being added, removed and swapped. If anyone has an idea, I'd like to hear it.

It does not matter where I declare the var __w:Who in the constructor, as a class var or in another function entirely. The whole thing still operates normally but it's irritating not being able to set my stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; in the constructor.... I am guessing it is something in my Who class because it does not happen if I declare any other vars the constructor in Who pretty basic:

I tried to import a class in a .as file and I had strange behaviors that I cannot explain. First of, I tried to get work a senocular class by importing it locally his script in the same directory of my main .as class.
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import duplicateDisplayObject;
There was no error returned from the compiler saying not found but there was one telling my class is still undefined as when I try to make the class work. (possibly undefined method). So I did it with the old fashion I found in some demos, placing the .as file in a com/senocular/display/ folder:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import com.senocular.display.duplicateDisplayObject;
And then no errors. The compiler recognize the class and execute it.
I'm starting to experiment with writing / importing my own classes to better modularize the code.
After trial and error it seems to me that I always have to define classes in a self-defined package as static, otherwise they cannot be accessed.
I suppose I need to import an special class to use data types as integer, long or double from my own class. But i don't know what is the correct class I have to import?

When I point my code to import an external classes such as:

In other instances I create a "com.whatever" directory to store other classes that my code can point to.
