I have a Flash application with one MyApp.fla file and one MyApp.as file as the document class. The problem is that I need to implement my own slider with programmatically drawn notches controlled by custom properties. I want to inherit from Slider class and do all what I've mentioned above.
View 1 Repliesget a bunch of objects in my library to inherit from (or even be) one class that i have made, but without having to make .as files for every single one is this possible, or is there any other way to give objects another classes functionality in an auto-generated class?
View 3 RepliesLet's say Class A has the flash.events.Event imported. Now let's say Class B extends Class A. Why in the hell do i need to import flash.events.Event in Class B? It makes no sens at all to me.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to build a class that inherits from the MovieClip class.Basically I am having issues in the constructor. Since MC's are unique in that they can only be created via createEmptyMovieClip or attachMovieClip, I am at a loss as to how you instantiate the inheriting class in the .fla? I figured if I just left the constructor out of the new class and do the following it would work but is doesn't:[code]How do I inherit from the MovieClip class and still instatiate the class using the above type actionScript?I have seen alot of information about inheritance and AS1.0 (which I have little understanding of). I am trying to stick to OOP practices and AS2.0. I searched for things like super & constructor to no avail.
View 8 RepliesSteps:
1)I have created One movieClip & named as MyComp
2)I export this movieclip to actionscript.Class name for this movieclip is MyComp.
3)After that,Dynamically I have created 5 instance for this class & added to stage.
4)Now i need to change width of MyComp. it should reflect on previous 5 instance too.
I tried like, I have created MyComp.as file in same location. There I tried to inherite DisplayObject properties Width.
Runtime error at the line : var mcp: MovieClipPlus =
MovieClipPlus(mc);
It doesnt work.. how can I let mcp inherit the mc?
I'm new to as3 and I was trying to make my own slider for a while until I found the slider component. The slider component is so perfect for what I want to accomplish. But the size of the little graphics is ridiculous. If you click on the line that the slider knob is on top of the knob will snap to where you click. This is great but with only 3 pixels of height to click on it's pretty much useless. I tried going into the slider movie clip and altering the individual graphics but when I run the program the sizes are back to their teenie tiny size.
View 1 RepliesIn my flex-app there is a slider that should change a variable inside a AS3-Object. How do you realize that? It's np problem to control the slider with the variable, but I want it the other way :)

I wanna create a effect like this website. [URL]For all americans if it don't work you can view it here. [URL]Let it charge and play through one time and then it will start to work properly.In words the effect I want is to be able to scrub over the timeline with a slider on a line I can control so I can make it follow the object. There by creating the feeling of be able to drag the object in the picture back and through the timeline but it being played and not just jumping to the picture.[URL]
View 1 RepliesI am working on a gallery: the slider rotates the container with the images using Tweener class and easeOutCubic transition. There are 45+ images around the center of the container The movement is not smooth, especially when comparing to the way it would be with a small container. Also, and most important - A rough "snap" appears randomly in the end of the motion.

I'm using Flex 3 VideoDisplay class for playing streaming video. When I drag the track slider(change the playheadTime) there are no preview frames even if that part of the video is already loaded.
Is there anything I can do to enable this feature (from the configuration of media server or in the Flex client)?
I'd like to build image slider like Nivo slider with Adobe Flash Builder.
i'd like to have image controls, image titles displayed above the image(like layers in flash). i'd like to read the data from xml.
i'd like to have nice transitions between images.
mayebe u can provide tutorial or source code.
What I have is a map that you can click on points and it will zoom in, you can also click on a "plus/minus" buttons to zoom in and out (I even have the mouse wheel zooming in and out). The client wanted me to add a "zoom slider bar" to it so you know you could move it up and down to scale it. Everything is working except the slider, I can't seem to get it to work with the position of the slider. All of the zoom functionality is there but the slider is killing me.
I am putting up the fla file since there is a lot of code in there and I didn't want to put it all in the forum. if you look in the fla in frame ten on line 726 you can find the function that is supposed to handle the zooming when you move the slider. Up on line 74 you can find the slider onPress and onRelease functions, but those I believe should be fine.

View 2 RepliesNote: This is an Actionscript project, not a Flex project.
I have class A defined in an RSL (technically, it's an art asset that I made in the Flash IDE and exported for actionscript. The entire .FLA was then exported as a SWC/SWF).
I my main project I have class B, which inherits from class A. The project compiles fine, with no errors.
However, when when the project runs and I try to create an instance of Class B, I get a verify error. Creating an instance of Class A works just fine, however:
import com.foo.graphics.A; // defined in art.swf / art.swc
import com.foo.graphics.B; // defined locally, inherits from A
...
<load art.SWF at runtime>

I have the following panel component called AdvancedPanel with controlBarContent:
<!-- AdvancedPanel.mxml -->
<s:Panel>
<s:states>
[Code]....
Using the CustomAdvancedPanel inside an application component shows an empty panel with the "Go to edit" button. But when I click it, the "Extra edit button" becomes visible, but the "Show in edit" button inside the controlBar doesn't.
When the CustomAdvancedPanel is empty, without redeclared states and "Extra edit button" the panel works just fine.
I think it is because the State object declared in AdvancedPanel isn't the same as CustomAdvancedPanel, so the state is different, even if they have the same name. However. I can't use the states of AdvancedPanel inside CustomAdvancedPanel without (re)declare them in mxml.
Is there any way to achieve this kind of state-reuse? Or is there a better way to obtain the same result?

how I would go about creating a new instance of a class that inherits from the MovieClip class. Rather, I know how to adjust linkage properties inside the library, and can create new instances that way.... but my main problem is that a good number of times I find I want to create a new instance using the Constructor function, which is chock full of parameters that I use inside the class. I currently have a class called MenuButton, and if I use Linkage properties, I can make it all work just fine... But I also have a class called Menu, which arranges those MenuButtons... by creating them using MenuButton's Constructor. According to my code, these instances are created... but they are not visible and do not show up in the debugger.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a Flex 4 application which contains different modules in it. The main application contains a style sheet and the modules inherit the styles defined in this file.Its working fine when the swf's are generated using Flash Builder. But when I'm generating it using Ant script, the modules does not inherit the styles and everything looks weird.I added isolate-styles="false" as an additional parameter to mxmlc, but still its not working.
View 2 RepliesIs there anyway to implement the parent addchild without its parent x and y coordinate?
ActionScript Code:
iamparent.x =100
iamparent.y=100;[code]....
the final coordinate of the child would be x=200, y=200. But, is there anyway that that i cant addChild with only respect to the coordinate of iamchild?
I have a bulletsystem where when u fire one it is attached to the movieclip that fired it, and I was wondering is there a way to make it so the bullets don't inherit their _parents x and y values and move as if they wer outside it but were still attached?..
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a basic timeline, similar to the timeline we all use in flash (see attached).
I have a playhead slider, which when dragged, just drags within its startDrag() limits.
I also have horizontal window scroller which also when dragged, just drags within its startDrag() limits.
I am trying to work out how to get the horizontal window scroller to scroll when the playhead slider hits the left or right edge. I am using hittest for this collision.
I have the playHeadSlider scrolling along the top. When playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing I want mcContents to then move.
It kind of works.. mcContents moves when the playHeadSlider is in collision with the hittestThing.. but it just moves rather than 'drags' across. I have it set up so that mcContents is twice the width (approx) of mcScrollWindow.
I need to somehow update what I have so that if the playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing on the right, mcContents only moves to the right and if playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing2 on the left, mcContents only moves to the left.
I am new to Flex programming. I want to implement a custom toolstrip for an app. This tool strip will include a menu bar (or a customized equivalent) to display the common menu items such as File, Edit, etc as well as a search box. It should be flexible enough to include other menu items such as bookmarks, etc in the future. I have been thinking about mx:Group, s:BorderContainer, mx:HBox, but haven't been able to choose between them. And none of them seem espcially suited to my task as they merely specify layout of other objects. Is there any component which has direct support for such functionality. I have also thought about using mx:MenuBar but I don't know if it will be flexible enough to add non-menu items like search box.
View 2 RepliesI've got a bunch of mc's which I've put in an array. With these mc's you can do a lot of different things, like dragdrop and rotation. I also got a button which on mouse down, changes the image of the mc. It only changes the image.. not the size. So far so good...But when I've clicked the button and the mc's all change their image... They are not able to dragdrop / rotation anymore. I do not understand why this is happening... because by clicking that button... it doesn't change the names of the mc's.....here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
library = new mc_library();
library.x = 100;[code]....
I notice in actionscript 3 that when a handler gets called, its able to access the senders properties. If I dispatch an event from my custom class. can all the listeners inherit all my public properties and methods?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way for the child of a movieclip object to not inherit the paren'ts properties? Because I scaled down the parent movieclip height and width and I'm loading external images into the parent movieclip and images are also scaled as well so I'm wondering if there is a way for it not to inherit the properties but remain inside the parent?
View 1 RepliesOk every time I think I understand the DisplayObject model i find something else that seems like it should work but fails. Am I correct that if I create a sprite then create another sprite and add it as a child the original parent sprite will show a height of 0... In my case i have three classes that all extend Sprite and each one is creating the next with the "youngest child" being a class that adds an image to its "stage". I can see the image height fine but its holder does not nor does its holders parent... im having a real moment here as I debate if im just stupid and missing the obvious way to do this or if I really have to add a bunch of getters and setters to see the height that includes children.Maybe I am thinking of this too much like a CSS block element but it just seems like it should work this way...for example
parent "holder" <- child "slide" <- child "image"
holder.height == 0
slide.height == 0

I have been approached to design a configurator for a new television product. The Application will let users specify the colours of certain parts of the product and also attach addons, which then updates a cost total.
In the main interface i have a looping animation of the product slowly rotating around 360 degrees that i rendered in 3ds max. When a user clicks a button on the interface i need to load an external movieclip on top of the main animation so it looks as though a certain part has changed colour, this i have acheived. The problem is that when i load the external clip over the original, the loaded clip starts playing from frame 1 and i need it to inherit the playhead position of the main animation so the two layered pieces look as though they are rotating as one. I'm sure this must be possible, unless i need to approach the problem in a different way?
