ActionScript 3.0 :: Overriding Or Listening For Trace Calls?
Sep 24, 2009
I have been using console.log external calls in my code to make debugging easier in the browser but I have found that when i pass the code on to someone else they are always asking why I am using an "alert" method instead of trace and as they edit the piece they naturally will use trace calls and I was wondering if either of the following is possible?
1. Is there a way to override the trace method? When I try with the following code I get an error: 1020 Method marked override must override another method.
ActionScript Code:
public override function trace(arguments:restParam):void{
}
2. If I can't override trace, does it dispatch some event that I don't know about that I can listen for? (normally I would try to figure this out using asdocs but whenever i try to visit the "trace" documentation I just get a page cannot be displayed error :S

The Administration API exposes many methods that allow for monitoring and administration of Flash Media Server. Evidently, the Administration Console provided with Flash Media Server uses this API via RTMP. It must then be possible to receive the log messages that are created when server-side actionscript calls the trace method as these messages are received by the Administration Console. But I cannot find any reference to this in the Administration API documentation.pick up these messages? For example, if you were to build your own administration console, as the documentation welcomes you to do, how would you replicate the "Live Log"?

I follow some sample code which uses trace("Hello World"); to print out something in ActionScript 3.0, in Flash Professional CS5.
But nothing seems to get printed out (in a browser). Is the trace() function deprecated / removed?

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

I would like to make a little app to test out the Accelerometer class. I was thinking of using a Loader to load the swf, and replacing the Accelerometer with my own copy. Is there any way to do this? If it's not possible, how could I do this with a custom client?

I am defining this function in one of my classes:public function onUse():void {};Then in another of my classes (let's call it "class2"), I create a object of this class, and then want to override this function with another one. After some Google-Fu, I have found this, and used it...
button.onUse {
variable = value;
}

Trying to find a straight answer for this. I am going to be creating some sub classes in actionscript 3. I was wanting to know if it is possible to override the parent class. If so, do I need to put a override assigner on the parent class method or what.

I have a base class like this
class Base {
public var space:Number;
}
which gets extended by
class Desc extends Base {
[Code]...
This doesn't compile. Say, you don't have control of the base class, what ways is there implement the same thing? The obvious is create a function setSpace(), but this object is being embedded in an already existing system that use the public space.

I would like to create many different labels which have identical properties but which have a different position and a different name. I created a main class called DefaultLabel which defines the format of a standard label and then I created a seperate class called Label which overrides the createLabel method with a different position and a different label text.
Ever since I added the Label class, my original label doesnt appear anymore and I receive error msgs (1119) stating that my formating properties (text, color, etc) are not defined and that they reference to a static type Label. Unfortunately I do not have Flash installed in English so I cant give you the original msg. Everything worked fine when I just created one standard label so I guess I made a mistake with overriding...
The various labels should be created in this class:
PHP Code:
package {
public class Label extends DefaultLabel
{
private var myLabel1 : Label = new Label();

super.zValue(n) should be super.zValue = n ........ wowy Nothing to see here folks, just keep moving on I'm having some difficulties in working with the as3 way of overriding methods.. specifically setters. I'm a recent convert from working with as2 for a few years, so some of these quirks are beyond me right now.Here are my two classes:class tempBase in package core
Code:
package core
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class tempBase extends MovieClip
[code]....
I do not have any errors for the override of baseFunction, but on compile I get the error 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method zValue through a reference with static type core:tempBase.In as2, this would have been perfectly acceptable (even without the override function), and was incredibly useful in creating my class structures.

I recently started on a new portfolio site and can't seem to figure out why some of my swfs override the html pixel size. I have included a link to the page. When you click on 'portfolio' there should be three thumbnails on the right. When you click on one of the thumbnails you'll see the size shift.
upload the xml files as well.

I frequently find myself wanting more granular control of the width/height properties. Consider either of the following cases:
- The DisplayObject is clipped with DisplayObject.mask, but Flash reports unmasked width.
- An image is displayed with a transform cage drawn over it. The width of the cage shouldn't be calculated when determining the DisplayObject's width.
The naive way to solve this problem is to override the width getter of the DisplayObject in question. The problem is that the core implementation of DisplayObject.width is written in native code. If after overriding the width getter, I call overridenObject.width, I get what I want; however, if I call overriddenObject.parent.width, DisplayObject.width ignores my override and calculates the dimensions based on its own internal display list representation.
Does anyone know of a technique to limit which children are considered when calculating width without having to override every parent's width getter? I've tried overriding width, getRect, getBounds, and scrollRect, but none of them seem to be referenced by DisplayObject.width's native implementation.

I'm an animator trying to use actionscript along with timeline animation.The setup is flock>fly>wings flock movieclip 30f long, the script looping, starting multiple fly movieclips at different points.
fly movieclip 30f long, controls wings0 movieclip timeline (3 frames, each with a movieclip). Frame1: wings0.gotoAndStop(2) Frame24: wings0.gotoAndStop(1) Frame48: wings0.gotoAndStop(3)
From flock timeline I'm trying to override actions in fly3. to call a different wings0 animation.
flock Frame1: var loop:Number = 0; fly1.gotoAndPlay(15); fly2.gotoAndPlay(8); fly3.gotoAndPlay(20); if(fly3.currentFrame==24){ fly3.wings0.gotoAndStop(3); }
flock Frame 30:
loop = loop + 1;if (loop > 0) {this.gotoAndPlay(2);} else {this.stop();}
But the animation of fly3 doesn't change.

I have a class (Wall) that inherits from Sprite.Sprite already has width and height properties. But for wall, I need to do some other additional calculations when the properties change (f.e. make sure the new size won't cause it to overlap any other walls).So, how do I set the width property inherited from the Sprite class from within the width setter of the Wall? (or perhaps there is an alternative way to do my bounds checking whenever width is set?)[code]

when extending a class, is it impossible to override a method without also matching the parameters?for example, i'd like to use the method's name, in this case it's a socket extension and the method i want to override is connect. however, i want to request additional parameters that the stock connect function does not request.
is the only alternative to create my own connect-like method with my own parameters, call super.connect from this function and override the stock connect function to throw an error if it's called?

I'm overriding a protected function in a subclass.Let's say I have two classes, Apple and Fruit. I have all variables in place, this is just a simplified version.
[Code]...
Example is trivial. The problem is that the type of the getRandom function depends on its own type. One returns an apple, the other returns a fruit.Of course I get errors about override and coercion.
I've tried returning a Fruit instead of an Apple, but then the object is not an apple, therefore it has no Apple-specific properties.The problem is in ducktyping. There's a third class I cannot change, that executes the getRandom() function on each object, and I need the Apples to be something slightly different.
How can I override the getRandom function in Apple, so that it returns apples, rather than fruit?
