Let's I have a class Square that has a several functions. I want to call it from a class Grid, which is a group of Squares.So in the class file for Grid, how would I do this:
Code:
public function doSquareFunction(thisFunction:Function):void{
square1.thisFunction();

This probably has a simple solution, but I'm a complete newb to actionscript and I could really use some guidance.I have a file, called Politismos.fla. The document class of this file is: com.plaidfox.PolitismosClassPolitismosClass.as is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
package com.plaidfox {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have 2 classes, named Class1 and Class2. How would I use a function from Class1, in Class2?
View 4 Repliesso I'm having this problem where one of my classes can't locate a function. The function it's trying to use is in another class, so I was wondering if there was something special you had to do. This is what I'm basically doing:

I have Flash project that is set up something like this:
myProject.fla
- document class = myMenu.as
- the document class imports a menu item from menuItem.as (import menuItem;)
I have a function in myMenu.as that sets the text formatting for all the text fields on the page. I want to be able to use this same function in menuItem.as so that all the formatting is consistent & you only have to change it in one place. How do I access this function from both myMenu.as & menuItem.as?
okay, i'm refactoring a huge ActionScript file, and so trying to move some functions into their own classes. why is this not working? i've got a function in my primary class:
// ...
private var testBlock:Sprite;
public function testingINT() {
testBlock = new Sprite();

I've been working my way towards better OOP design lately and I've come across a problem with accessing functions in other classes from my Main class. Here is the code:

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUp);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fireBullet);
They are listening for functions that are within the Player.as class, these functions control the dynamics/movement of the player itelf. But for some reason I'm getting a 1120 error(access of undefined property). Basically how do you listen/access for functions within a different class?
asically I have a Player class with methods (i.e. Moving the player) that I want to listen for and implement in the main class. To put it simply, I'm creating the player methods in the player class and then calling them in the Main class. But for some reason I'm having some trouble, I'm still trying to get used to all this OOP design.Here is the (Main) code, it's not alot:

is there any way to locally define a variable in a function and then pass it to the oher function. I mean to say is it possible the pass a local value from one function to other function.

View 1 Repliesi have a music jukebox, with ten buttons. in the first keyframe, of the main timeline, a put a function that will be used for every button to load the mp3 to play. The problem, is that when i pass the arguments on each button to call the function, the "filme" and "som" arguments are lost.
here is the function:

The problem is that when I release the mouse button I get a variable undefined error in the output window. I have researched and have found that my problem is that I can't pass a variable from the main function to the onRelease function.
I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I was wondering if ActionScript had some way to call functions and classes from variables, like they do in PHP:
function funcname() {
print "Potatoes come from tree";
}
$function = "funcname";
print $function; // Prints out "funcname"
$$function(); // Prints out "Potatoes come from tree"
In case you don't know the syntax for PHP, you should know that anything perpended with a $-symbol is a variable.

View 1 RepliesI have a Flash application that creates a sort of powerpoint presentation. All the 'slides' are stored in an XML files which is read and processed.
I'm trying to build the presentation using this XML file. At the moment, my main class has it's initial function main and a static function processXML main initiates my database class with a function called initDB. One of my issues is that initDB forgoes processing because it's dependant on an event listener. On completion of loading the XML files, the event listener initiates my static function on my main to create objects from this file.
The issue is that because the event listener continues the processing (after an indeterminate amount of time), the functions are no longer controlled by the main class.

I'm new to the object oriented stuff and I'm trying to learn how it works. Here's what I've started on - it's led to a few dilemmas. I have one flash file and two .as each with one class. In the timeline of the fla file, it reads:
ActionScript Code:
var FileObject:ScriptFile = new ScriptFile();
function onEnterFrame(){
FileObject.CallInput();
}
Call input is a function in "ScriptFile.as" that calls another function in "Input.as";
ActionScript Code:
class Input{
public function Input(){

In output, when I press Left, it will say -5 over and over again, and I'm trying to add to xpos value but that isn't happening.
Im trying to load some data, but I want to outsource the job of data loading to different classes.lets say XMLLoader class will get the url and return an xml file. The problem now is that such procedures are asynchronous, the class has to wait for XML to load and then call back the caller class and return the xml data.One way of doing this, is returning the data with a custom event. once its loaded then dispatch this event with the data in. However, I was wondering, if there is a way to do it with some sort of asynch call, meaning the caller class sends the request, then waits for a response.is such a thing possible? is there a better way or do I need to stick to my custom events?
View 2 RepliesI have a rather general question regarding OOP. How do constructor functions execute with multiple class extensions? I'm making an orbital physics simulation, and every spatial body is of the class SpaceObject, which extends Sprite. Then, I have all earth-type planets be of the class Earth, which extends SpaceObject. There are certain parameters that I'd like to set for every single SpaceObject (like position and size) in the constructor function, and certain parameters (like density and mass) that I'd like to set in the constructor of class Earth.But from the main timeline, when I create an instance of class Earth, I can only enter the parameters of the Earth constructor, ie
Code:
var planet1:Earth = new Earth(density, mass)
Or I can create an instance of SpaceObject:

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
in this example why the values of (12) and (21,39) are lost at the geo and geo1 functions

I like reusing functions repeatedly so I pass the object to the function (blur, drop shadow, etc.) but if an Event or MousEvent function is involved, I have to do things I don't like. In my example, I had to put the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE function as a sub function of the setTimer function. I would rather keep the functions apart but I don't know how to pass a parameter to the event function to tell it what movieclip(timerObject) to fade in. Is there a better way to do this?
