ActionScript 3.0 :: Overwriting Appdomain Definitions With Loaded Swf Ones?
Apr 6, 2010
would like to know if there's a way to overwrite a specific definition in the "currentDomain" with one available in a child swf?
I'm loading swfs as assets, and since some of them have code in timeline (mostly stop()'s) i'm exporting symbols as subclasses of my .as
however would like if theres a way to be able to simply write:
var myBall:Ball = new Ball();
instead of:
myBall:Ball = new ballSwfAppDomain.getDefinition("sandbox.Ball")

When load and SWF into another, the loader SWF can get definitions in the loaded SWF using ApplicationDomain.getDefinition(name:String) in example:
package
{
// ... imports
public class SWFLoader extends Sprite
[code]....
how can I get ALL the definitions and not just ONE of them?

I'm trying to make a little Flash Movie which randomly displays 3D cubes on the screen.
I've got a scene which consists of an array of shapes, each of which extends a basic shape class.
Then the camera has an array of shapes which it calls a scene.
You call the drawing method like this: camera_x.showScene(myScene);
The problem I have is that if there's more than one item in the scene array only one gets drawn. It's like the biggest thing is hiding all the rest.

I have a for loop that attaches a new mc to the stage fills it with info from a database. I should be left with three mc's but not the case. only the last one shows up on the stage. I went thru it with the debugger and it is filling all those movieClips with data but, overwrites them when it goes back to the top of the for loop.

what do you do when a loop "overwrites" itself and only displays the last value?
Code:
for ( var j:Number = 0; j < xml_array.length; j++ ) {
//Set state movie clips' parentMC and mainBroadcaster and onRelease functions
this ["state" + j + "_mc"].mainBroadcaster = this.mainBroadcaster;
[code]....
here is the code snippet for the loop; I've used this before in a previous project and it didn't have this problem.

I've created two custom classes to contain data for a web forum controller flash tool:
class postClass
{
public var post_id:Number;
//plus some other variables like timestamp etc
[code]....
When I try to assign a new post to a user (by adding the post data to the postArray variable) I overwrite posts that I had already placed under other users. More specifically, if I'm posting the first post for User Y, I overwrite the first post for User X with the exact same data.I thought this was a reference vs. value passing error, but I tried to eliminate this by not copying the "postClass" objects, but assigning the data directly into the user's postArray array:
var userArray:Array = new Array();
function addNewUser(masterPostIndex,UserNumber)
{
[code]....
This all seems to work fine until I try to write a new post for a second or third user. If I trace the contents of User X's posts, they immediately become identical to the content of User Y's posts, as soon as User Y's posts are added. Later, when User Z comes along, both User X and User Y's posts are overwritten. This code is kinda long, so I didn't want to post the whole thing - but I can post any parts you're interested in, of course.
This really 'feels' like a reference-passing error (arrays are all looking at the same location in memory), but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - I'm not making a postClass object and then pushing it onto the user's postArray (I tried that too, same result).
var newPost:postClass = new postClass();
//read and assign values to newPost
userArray[userIndex].push(newPost); //
this is clearly passing the referenceI can see how the latter example would pass the reference to newPost to the user object, then when I change newPost in the next iteration (when user Y posts something), User X's data will change too. I tried to avoid this with the first set of code.

When I make changes to a Flex project and rerun the project, it seems that FlashBuilder4 rewrites my html wrapper that embeds the SWF. But I have additional javascript code in the html wrapper and don't want to keep losing my code. I had to re-write the code once and it was a pain in the neck.How do I stop it from re-writing the html. And the related question: how do I stop it from deleting the html during a clean?I basically need to exclude the html from its processing once it's been created the first time. P.S. I'm using Flash Builder 4, but I suppose it's the same in Flex Builder 3.

I have a movie clip called "play_btn". The timeline has 2 labels, "paused" & "playing" ... paused contains a movie clip called "playButton" and playing contains a movie clip called "pauseButton". playButton & pauseButton contain images of a pause button and a play button.I am trying to replace the playButton image using:
loadMovie("play.png", play_btn.playButton);
This works when the swf is first loaded but then if I do:
playBTN.gotoAndStop("paused");
playBTN.gotoAndStop("playing");
The original play image is back.Why, surely loadMovie should be overwriting the original image?

I've been saving plain text files to the hard drive using FileReference.save and everything is working fine. However, instead of overwriting a file with the same name (as the dialogue box says it is going to), the new text is simply added to the end of the text file! I've even tried using a Byte array, but the same thing happens. Perhaps a Mac OS Flash Player bug?

I am building a dynamic menu system with XML. Back in AS2 I would make a movieclip, then attachmovie and duplicate the attached movie. When I did this I could always over write the old data. Now in AS3, it seems to be overlaying or "stacking" on top of one another. So my question is, is there a way to overwite the addChild, or a way to dump the contents of a movieClip so I prepare it for another attachment? Here's a sample of the code I am using.

i need to create an arbitrary number of display objects using a for loop because the number of objects will depend on the number of items in an xml file.
so i want to control the objects using actionscript. in as 2 i could create a temp variable in the for loop and use attachMovie() and assign an instance name. i know in as 3 you can use the .name property, but i heard you had to use the variable handler to control the object.
so i can't do this because it generates an error:
var numOfItems:uint = 5;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < numOfItems; i++)
{
var mc[i]:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
}

Is there a way to get a list of the exposed functions from a Flash object? For example, you could get a list of all methods in an object by executing[code]...
The only issue is that this won't expose any methods registered through the ExternalInterfaces API. I can try and see if the function exists (object['method']) and it tells me it is a function, but I would have to guess every existing method in this manner..

I have been given a rather long and complicated Flash movie which contains a number of bugs. The one that has me most perplexed is as to why the pause button is failing to stop the root timeline.[code]As you can see, the button also controls various mps "voiceovers", which stop and start correctly, yet the timeline animations continue to play.I have looked through the movie and there doesn't appear to be any Play function overwriting the buttons Stop command.

I'm accessing the classes from an externally loaded SWF so that I can "skin" SWF applications at runtime. Everything works fine but I'd like to make it as dynamic as possible and allow developers to access all the class definitions in a loaded SWF without having the FLA file or a list of their names.

This seems like it would be really easy but for some reason it's not working.
I have a class file, class DataSet, which right now only takes an XML file, parses it, and pushes the XML into an array:
The object is instantiated and an XML file is passed back to the object definition. If the XML file is successfully loaded, the class should then called the function parseXML() and put the data into the array.
But for some reason, parseXML() is never called. I have no idea why this isn't working, because the syntax checks out and I've seen millions of other files where functions call other functions.
Here's the class file:

I wrote two projects using the same 3D library but I modified it pretty heavily in one (to the extent that the inheritance is pretty different on one) - now I need to load one into the other and I'm getting some weird errors that look like the child swf is trying to use the same class definitions as the parent even though it should be in an entirely different namespace.
So - anyone have a tricky way of forcing the loaded swf to use the classes it's compiled with rather than the ones already defined in the parent swf (and vice versa) or do I need to refactor all my stuff?

So I know you can assign a base class to a library definition within the Movieclips library information field but If I have 30 items in the library and I change the Base class this becomes a pain in the ass, can this be done programmatically when I instantiate the library definition?

I've been trying to implement and make classes out of some code that was written in the timeline by someone else; some problems have inevitably arisen. One of these problems is that I can't seem to compile a specific part of it concerning vectors, given that it tells me that there were no property definitions for the variables and that upon importing, these definitions could not be found:
[Code]....
It also tells me that Vector is not a compile-time constant, and its methods or properties could not be found. Besides this, I can't seem to find the definition for BlendMode for applying a filter with the BitmapData draw() method. Below I list the pertinent piece of code for you to be able to help me in case there's something wrong in my writing. Oh and BWT, what does this declaration mean? var i:Vector.<int>=new Vector.<int>([1,2]); I don't understand why the array brackets inside an int Vector.
