View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Library Symbol Extend Another Library Symbol / Assuming Each Are Linked To Class?
Dec 9, 2010Library symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.

Mar 10, 2011I have been working on code updation project wherein initially we had an image and text as movieclips in fla library. The image and the text are read by the actionscript program which then creates an animation.[code]...
I want to ease the updation process by giving the url of the image in an XML file. Read the image url from the xml and load this image in the library of the fla as movieclip. This, i think, will result in less code change and improve the updation of the final animation image.
The problem i am facing is not been able to figure out how can i change the image (after fetching its URL) to a movieclip and then load it in the library?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Error 5000: The Class 'Particle' Must Subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' Since It Is Linked To A Library Symbol Of That Type
Jun 7, 2009Running Flash CS3, I've reviewed the lynda.com tutorial on building particle systems in ActionScript 3.0 to try and build some shooting sparks in an animation.I'm getting stuck at what I think is a really elementary point, but I can't seem to get past it.
Basically, all I'm trying to do at this point is create a class called Particle (which I will teach to do things that particles do a little later) link it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the particle's update function to move it across the stage in a manner defined in the instance (so I can later give different movement properties to each AS generated instance of the MC). I know there are easier ways to accomplish my base task without loading an external package, but this seems so strightforward that I must be doing something very simple wrong I just can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.
I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my Spark Test.fla file.
In Particle.as I have the following code:
package{ import flash.display.*; public class Particle extends MovieClip { public xVelocity:Number; public yVelocity:Number; public function Particle() { xVelocity = 0; yVelocity = 0; } public function update():void { this.x += xVelocity; this.y += yVelocity; } }}
So I'm declaring that all particles are built with no motion, but if they are explicitly granted an x or y velocity, they will move by that much when the instance's update function is called in the timeline.
Then in my Spark Test.fla file, I have a small shape in a MovieClip called Spark. In the Linkage properties of Spark I have chosen to Export for ActionScript and Export in FIrst Frame. The class is called Spark and the Base class is Particle. For testing purposes I've dropped an instance on the stage and called it spark. Then in the actions layer in the first frame (the timeline is just the spark layer and the actions layer, one frame long each with no "stop();" so it should run forever) I have included the following code:
spark.xVelocity = 5;spark.yVelocity = -1;
function updateSpark(event:Event):void{ spark.update();}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSpark);
What it looks like this should do is on each ENTER_FRAME Flash should call updateSpark which is a function that runs the update() event for the spark instance which is a instance of a movieclip that has an update event which moves x and y position by their relative velocity variables. This all seems pretty straightforward to me, but when I ctrl-Enter to test the movie, I get the following 3 compiler errors:
Particle.as Line 1: 5000: The class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Particle.as Line 7: 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not xVelocity.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Export Swc Without Symbol Folder?
Jan 10, 2011I'm trying to export and swc files from only .as classes. I did it both in flashdevelop and flashbuilder but i always obtain an SWC file with two folders inseide: "Classes" (ok) and "Symbols" (i don't want it). A long name file ("_69162136b9125b99edd9216dfb3111de7cbbe4f1d0e981a1747ac31b0919d496_flash_display_Sprite") is also generated in both folders.
How i can export an swc that contains only the "Classes" folder (like swc provided from, for example, Google or PureMVC)?

IDE :: Library Linkage/export For As Question?
Jan 21, 2011currently this is the problem i'm having.i'm exporting a symbol - song1 - from my library to AS ("export for actionscript") and then using it to dynamically create some movieclips (hereafter referred to as MC's) on the stage. each MC contains a text field that is filled by an value in an array....
Code:
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
songList_XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var songNodes:XMLList = songList_XML.song.title
var songTime:XMLList = songList_XML.song.time
[code]....
Now all this works without a hitch - all the trace statements produce what they are supposed to and the MC's appear on the stage where they are supposed to and with the proper text (song name song time).
BUT - here's what i don't understand - *how do i REFER to the INSTANCES of each clip*?because they are created dynamically they don't have instance names and there is no way to assign them instance names via AS (right?).i tried to use the Display List to access them by assigning each one a name (last line - commented out) and then using the getChildByName() method - for ex. getChildByName("nameSong1"). but that didn't work either... i have a few other ideas but they all seem ridiculously complicated - i believe there's GOT to be a *simple* solution for this but i've checked all the references i have (O'Reilly, AS Bible, and others) and found almost nothing. just the display list trick above which didn't work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Export SWF... From Flash Library Ignores Base Class?
Mar 24, 2009I have a symbol in the Library with a Base Class that extends the MovieClip Class and adds some additional functionality. I want to be able to export this from the Library by right clicking on the symbol and selecting Export SWF. I was hopping this would essentially give me the same results as if the symbol contents was on the main timeline and I had declared the Base Class as the Document Class. When I import this SWF using the Loader Class it seems to loose all of Base Class functionality and think of itself as a MovieClip.
Looking at the below sample code, the alpha property is correctly set but the param1 getter is unaccessible. What the hell is going on?

IDE :: CS5 - Setting URLs For Import / Export For Runtime Shared Library
Aug 27, 2010Summary: I don't quite understand how the import/export URLs for symbols in a runtime library work. I can't figure out how I can set them so that the runtime library will be properly loaded and accessible for other swfs to import from, if I want it to work both in a local environment (on my harddrive), and from a remote environment (on a web page).
Relative URLs seem to work great for the hard-drive case, but fail for the web page. Is there a magic way to set the relative URL to work from the web too? And/or, is there some way of manually loading up the RSL at runtime and making the importing swfs import from that loaded copy, rather than having Flash doing it behind the scenes based on the import URL set in the symbol? Following is a longish description of what I'm trying to do, and why... I'm trying to figure out if we can use RSLs to contain common UI controls for our next project. I'm running into an organizational issue that I can't quite figure out - how to get the RSLs to work in both a local development/debugging environment, and on a production web environment, with the same exporting/importing URLs.
Here's what my setup would look like. Say I have a main application main.swf, an RSL lib.swf, and a UI module dialog.swf. Main.swf loads or embeds dialog.swf. lib.swf exports some symbols that dialog.swf imports. On a local development environment, these swfs are found in folders like so:

Apr 1, 2009I am trying to load a movieclip from the library onto my stage. But the name of the movieclip is read in from a user-entered text field. Typically, to load a movieclip from the library named, Bee, I would do the following:

But the name of my symbol is in a TextField. The following do not work:
// Attempt #1:
var mc:MovieClip = new userfield_txt.text; // No Good
// Attempt #2:
var str:String = userfield_txt.text;

I realize the new operator requires a Class data-type, so how do I get the value stored in a String or TextField into a Class type?
