I am using the reflect class at [URL]. It works fine for the first playthrough. Yet, when the movie loops again, it creates another instance and again on the next loop through. There is only one object on the page and the script is: import com.pixelfumes.reflect.*;var r1:Reflect = new Reflect({mc:box, alpha:50, ratio:50, distance:2, updateTime:0, reflectionDropoff:1});
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?
if i have following code :
class Stand {
public static const STAND_LIST:Array = new Array();
STAND_LIST[0] = new Array();
STAND_LIST[1] = new Array();
[code]...
is the STAND_LIST[0] keeps created every new instance of Stand created? or is it created just once?if it's created every new instance of Stand created, how do i make it run just once?(like initializing const)
why can't i acces the object outside of the function with test1._alpha = 20;[code]

View 2 RepliesI am new to AS3 but not to AS2. I have written a simple class and when I import it, I don't see the object that should be created upon calling the constructor. Can you guys tell me where am I going wrong. And I am very puzzled about 'document class'. Yes, I have google numerous threads on "document class" but still very shaky on this matter. Here is my simple class which should place a button object on the stage when I create a new object of this class. Once I have created the BTN class, I have made sure that I have button component in my library, I then instantiate the object by creating a new CS3 file and importing my class:
import com.learning.as3.*;
var b:BTN = new BTN();
When I test the movie, I get the following errors:
1172: Definition com.learning.as3 could not be found.
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
BTN.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method BTN.

From the flash help, it says:Method; removes a movie clip instance created with the duplicateMovieclip action, or the duplicateMovieClip or attachMovie methods of the MovieClip object.
But i have movieClips created from createEmptyMovieClip();, so i'm assuming removeMovieClip(); won't work. Is there another way to remove this then?
I have writing a simple class which has a method that gets invoke when the object of the class is created. I am able to view the loaded XML content when I trace it with in my class method, but cannot assign the content to a instance variable using the mutator method. So the process goes like this:
Class object is instantiated Class construtor then calls the loadXML method which laods the XML And then assigns the XML to a class instance variable.
So now if I would like to access the loaded XML through class object, I should be able to see the loaded xml content which I am not able to see. I have spent over few hours and cannot get the class object to display the loaded XML content. .

I have is Adobe fl CS4. I succussfully created a scene with all correct layers including a start button action script. No errors works great. Now my next challenge is, how do I cause a word to apear? I created some objects that I want to select and cause a word to appear and color to change, once I hover over the object. It is like the same method when you create a 'start button.' Do I create another sub scene in the action script command?

Is it possible to get dynamically created children of a display object instance in action script 3?

I wrote a class for an object that as soon as it is created moves around the screen and can create another object (replicating itself). That seems to work fine for a while, but after like 20 or so objects on the screen things slow down a lot! I create the first object on frame one. The rest is all done by the objects themselves.
Would it be better if the objects did not move around on their own, but rather through a loop on frame one or does it not matter? I am working on a simulation that should go up to over 100 objects, but with this problem can't get there. The object is just a movie clip (imported png picture about 4 by 7 pixel, not animated). I was going to replace it with an animated one later, but that seems unlikely now.
I thought this would be simple but for some reason I'm having all kinds of problems. Why won't the for loop create a new c instance each time the loop increments, like it does for sHolder and s? ...And, assuming it is possible to make it do this, how can each instance be given an identifier that can be accessed dynamically, like sHolder and s in the traceSomething function?

i am creating a list of buttons with an attachMovie. the AS is :
//as
var i = -1;
while(++i<userlist.length){
var user = userlist[i];

okay the problem is this: then i assign an on click function to every button right in the while loop that uses the data parameter of the "ob" object and when i play the movie the data parameter is always the parameter of the last object created for all the buttons. I know why this is happening- it overWrites the old "ob" with the new with every itteration of the loop.
But how would i go differently about creating an individual "ob" for each button created and still be able to have a function with a data parameter like this.onRelease.userClicked(data)?

I tried doing this.xot, xot, and other stuff, but it just keeps sliding under _root.xot instead of ArrowL##.xot.
Here's some background: I am working on a project in which we have one main Flash file that loads other Flash swfs into an empty movie clip within the main file.The main file instantiates a class I've made (stateManager) into a _global variable.This object keeps track of the most recent states of the other individual files so users can navigate between them all and come back to the same status they left it.Here's the issue:In the sub files, I need to access the _global object, which was created in the main file, many times so I would like to use the 'with' construct to reduce typing. However, because the 'with' statement needs an object to reference, I am unable to publish my files .I've tried adding an if-statement at the top of each file (if(_global. stateManager == undefined){ ), but this doesn't work either.I've included a portion of my code for you.
Code:
import classes.stateManager;
if (_global.stateManager==null) {
_global.stateManager = new classes.stateManager("./InitFiles/global.xml");[code]....
If you once run an ObjectBuilder the object instantiated will be cached and next time you use an PropertyInjector or something else, the instantiated object will be used instead of creating a new object. Or at least this should be like this :) But in the example below it seems that mate tries to instantiate the object again: The following error occurs:
