ActionScript 3.0 :: Looping Through Objects Of A Class?
May 1, 2011
I created multiple classes for a platforming game in AS3 and when i am making the levels i simply drag the objects of a certain class to the stage from the library. My problem is that i am unable loop through all of the objects of class type wall from another class of players.(so that i can make every player created not go through every wall created)
Like: for(i=0 i<numberofwalls i++){
do sumthing with wallobject(i)
}
Are there any functions that can return the number of walls dragged to the screen and one that lets me access each individual wall dragged to the screen?

I have had a long post somewhere on here and just wanted to start a specific post on just associative arrays. First of all I have an array which I don't know if it's an array or an associative array or an object or both. ie: I read that the below would be an object but works as an array too.
The problem is when I use this array as references to instantiate classes in a runtime shared library.I seem to be able to create the appropriate arrays and objects BUT I definately can't use/acess them properly. I massive confusion between movieclips and objects. I get a forced conversion error when I try to add objects to a movieclip . simply because I want to add the mc elements to the stage.

Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?

What I have is a game with a Level object, inside the Level is a Player object, and they don't have instance names given, what I'm trying to figure out is how to do is make it so that the player can change the x or y properties of the Level object.
To be more precise, I'm making it so that when the player moves in a certain direction, he either moves accross the stage, or he starts moving the Level object around the stage, it'd be in an Event kind of function, now I can easily make the Player move, but I don't know how to make the Level object move which the player is inside of.

I have question regarding removing instantiated objects. Let's say i have a main class in which i instantiate a custom video player (or whatever) class:
Code:
...
var videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer(...);
addChild(videoPlayer);
...
And inside VideoPlayer class i have of course dozens of objects (movie clips, sprites representing different parts of VideoPlayer) and dozens of event listeners attached to them. My question is, if i want to remove this VideoPlayer class from my main class is it enough to just do:

I have a calendar-class and I want to see if there is a post in my database for any of the dates. I was thinking a nested loop, the first one loops through the dates of the month and the nested one compares variables with the date.
Ex.
loadVariablesNum("[URL]", 0)
for (q = 1; q <= Days; q++){
//load 'day-symbol'
for(x = 1; x == 10; x++){
if(q == someArray[x]){
//someArray[] from loadVariablesNum
//mark day...
}}

I have a class that represents a turret in the center of my screen.When I hold down SPACE, I want it to create a "bullet"-object that moves in the direction of the turrets cannon, every frame the SPACE key is held down. I am having problems with this cause I am getting this error when I am trying to create the object:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is where the error occurs:
ActionScript Code:
public function chaingun(x_:int, y_:int, rot:int, cd:Number, spd:Number, sprd:Number, life:Number) {
this.Cooldown = cd;
this.Speed = spd;
[code]....
PS: What happens is that when I press the SPACE key, the "turret" class event handler runs the function "Shoot_Chaingun" and that function creates a new Chaingun-object (which actually is a bullet), that inherits the x, y, and rotation of the turret, along with some additional varaibles, including lifetime. Then upon creation, I use "addChild(this)" to add it to the main stage, and "removeChild(this)" once it's lifetime is up.
EDIT: And also, I just realized I don't have a MovieClip linked to this chaingun class. How do I make sure that every time a chaingun object is made, the MovieClip is also loaded?

I've used the Tween Class to put together an image gallery scroller. As you can see in attached example the top 3 images are the same as the bottom 3. For a reason. The tween class shifts the images from top to bottom. At which point the total images clip should shift back to the top and continue from there. These would make it appear as if the images rotate. I've used this code:

I have an enemy on the stage that reads whether it's being hit by a bullet by a hittest. There's a for loop inside the enemy's class that looks for all the bullets and names the bullet that's hitting it "hitBullet". What I'd like to do have an easy way of seeing what type of bullet is hitting the enemy. I'm basically looking for something like
if (hitBullet == RegBullet) {
//do regular bullet dying
}else if (hitBullet == ClusterBullet) {
//do clusterbullet dying
}
, where RegBullet and ClusterBullet are classes. But I have no idea what hitBullet is equal to when a ClusterBullet or RegBullet hits it. I traced hitBullet to see what it would return and got "[object ClusterBullet]", but I'm not sure what that would be in the actual code.

I have some data (preferably objects, insteads of string) in the flash which I want to store as table format. So that I can query them. It is not datagrid as I do not have to show them. Currently, I am use "xml class" because of the query function. However, "xml class" cannot store objects.

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

I have two objects, both brown squares. I want them to be members of the same class but one square to have a number "1" in the center and the other to have a number "2" in the center. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Any clues on how to instantiate a vector drawing (drawn in illustrator) from ActionScript 3 as opposed to dragging it on stage from the library in flash?

I have a map and I have some objects that I place on the map symbol. I am NOT dynamically creating them.
Lets say there is 3 objects all linked to the CollisionDetect class. The player can move these objects around fine, no problem but I want to make it so the player cannot push the objects on top of each other.
how I can detect that Ob1 of the class is hitting Ob2?

im currently writing a piece of code where i need to get all children that are specific class or extend one.
currently im using this
ActionScript Code:
public function getConnections():Vector.<NodeConnection>{
var res:Vector.<NodeConnection> = new Vector.<NodeConnection>();
[Code].....
The problem with this is that 1st, string comparison is slow, and im expecting that there will be hundreds, of instances on stage. and secondly, It is very probable that i will extend the classes that i use in the functions, so their toString() will produce different name. e.g if i have on stage instances of "Node, ExtendedNode1, ExtendedNode2 " since they are all nodes, id like to all of them be returned.

Probably a very easy question, but Google and Livedocs are both failing me here. I have a custom class (Which I shall refer to as "Circle"), and simply wish to find each of the "Circle" class, and add them to an array in my Document class. I may also need to perform this task from within other classes.
I've considered having each 'Circle' on creation send a sort of "signal" to the document class for it to add it to an array or vector, but can't figure out how to influence the Events of its Parent class.

whether i want to find one object that has a unique attribute (like "london bridge", maybe) or multiple objects that might have the same attribute (like an artist or album), is there a more efficient way?

I'm trying to access a MovieClip created within the authoring tool from an ActionScript class. Here is my code:
PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class MoreVideos extends Sprite {
[Code].....
I also tried changing that to [stage.moreVideosBox.visible = false;], but I then got "1119: Access of possibly undefined property moreVideosBox through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage."
Is it possible to directly alter items in the authoring tool from a class? If I move 'moreVideosBox.visible = false;' outside of the class, in the main .as file, it works fine.

Let's say that I've a button object (instance of Flip) and a coin object (instance of Coin) on the stage. The coin object has two frames: one showing Heads and one for Tails.
MyCoin class is as following:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Coin extends MovieClip
[Code]....
Problem: How do I reach the coin object on the screen via onMouseClick function? Let's say that the object on the stage has instance name of myCoin. I suppose that had I not done this with an external class and simply used actions from the frame I could just use the instance name as a variable. I couldn't figure to do the same it in an external class. Do I first create the object which is already on the stage?

Let say I have 3 objects of the MoveObject class. There is 1 symbol in the library linked to the MoveObject class. I dragged the symbol to the stage 3 times. Great.
If I type trace(this.x) in the class files it gives me the x value of all 3 objects.
My question is, how do I go through those x values one at a time?
