ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arguments To Constructor Of Symbol?

Jul 15, 2010

I've drawn a pretty button in Flash and given it the Class name PausePlayButton. It extends PlayerController, which allows it to toggle on and off and control whether a MovieClip is playing or not.When I instantiate it, I want to pass a reference to the MovieClip it controls into the contructor so that PlayerController has access to the MovieClip's public methods. However, I can't pass a reference into the constructor of PlayerController, unless I can pass it into the constructor of the symbol itself and call super. But where is that constructor? How do I give the button a reference to another object?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arguments To A Custom MC Class Constructor?

Oct 30, 2011

I'm having trouble with the constructor for a custom Class tied to a library MovieClip.
 
Say I have a MovieClip in my library named Circle, which is tied to the class com.shapes.Circle . I want the Circle class contstructor to take 2 arguments, xScale and yScale:
 
public function Circle(xScale:Number, yScale:Number) { }
 
However, if I try to call that from in code, for example Circle ball = new Circle(3.14,2.0); , I always get an "Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0" error.
 
Is it possible to have a custom class tied to a MovieClip that can take arguments, or does Flash not allow this? I'd asked about this before and thought I figured it out, but from looking at it now I apparently hadn't figured it out and had resorted to a sloppy workaround; I'm hoping to fix it now.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Boolean Arguments In The Main Constructor

Jan 3, 2012

I'm having a weird behaviour with some some classes that I'm making. It seems that the Boolean values from arguments get changed on the way. I have two classes. On is called Carousel and the other Activity. The Carousel main task is to instantiate several Activity objects and place them in a way that resembles a carousel. This part is done, but there's a problem passing arguments from Carousel to Activity. Some data to instantiate the Activity come from an XML file. The XML resembles something like this:

Actionscript 3 :: Inheriting Constructor Arguments From Parents

Apr 14, 2012

I'm making a game in action script 3. In it, I have an actor class from which player and enemy classes will be derived. I'm doing this so that unless I need to provide specific AI or fancy behavior (such as for bosses), I can just make a new clip in the library for each enemy without making an actionscript file.

However, I've run into a problem.

Whenever I try to pass arguments to the construction of an enemy (make it spawn with more health), I get error 1136 (Incorrect number of arguments.)

This is because the constructor created automatically at runtime doesn't have the same arguments as it's parent class. Is there any way to get around this without making a class file where I copy and paste the parent constructor function for each of my hundreds of enemies?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Array Of Arguments To Constructor

Apr 17, 2010

I'm passing a DisplayObject to a command that will instantiate it. Something like this:

// ViewClass is passed into this method typed as a Class
var view : DisplayObject = new ViewClass() as DisplayObject;

Is there a way to pass arguments to ViewClass() without knowing it's type? I'm assuming the list of parameters passed to any object's constructor is an array, but I'm not certain how to proceed.

I know I can do something like this:

// Assume arguments, an Array of arguments, has also been passed in
var view : DisplayObject = new ViewClass(arguments[0], arguments[1], arguments[2], arguments[3], arguments[4]) as DisplayObject;

But clearly I'd like something more dynamic, like to be able to just pass the arguments Array directly. I suppose all of this, however, goes against any type safe checking

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tiding Instance Variables With Constructor Arguments?

Jan 28, 2010

I know what instance variables, contractor methods, local variables and constructor arguments are (I think) but I'm confused as to when or how to use them, for instance I have use this a lot and I don't really understand why it is used like this...

[AS] package standard.testing {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.greensock.*;

[code]....

Why create a function with arguments...

[AS]public function tweenMe(mc:MovieClip, xPos:Number, yPos:Number)[/AS]

Then create instance variables...

[AS]
public var _mc = MovieClip;
public var _xPos= Number;
public var _yPos = Number
[/AS]

then create local variables with the values of the arguments

[AS]
_mc = mc;
_yPos = yPos;
_xPos = xPos;[/AS]

Actionscript 3 :: Automate Property Assignment To New Instance From Arguments In Constructor

Apr 8, 2010

I like finding out about tricky new ways to do things. Let's say you've got a class with a property that gets set to the value of an argument in the constructor, like so:[code]That's not exactly a hassle. But imagine you've got... I don't know, five properties. Ten properties, maybe. Rather then writing out each individual assignment, line by line, isn't there a way to loop through the constructor's arguments and set the value of each corresponding property on the new instance accordingly? I don't think that the ...rest or arguments objects will work, since they only keep an enumerated list of the arguments, not the argument names - I'm thinking something like this would be better:[code]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Arguments To Function?

Oct 8, 2009

I have a movie clip that contains several movie clips, only one of which should be shown at a time. Which one is shown, depends on what buttons the user selects.Having trouble with the syntax for passing the argument in a button to the function that controls the tweening of the clips. (When I hard code the references into the function, it works, so I know the basic function is ok).There's a clip called 'slide1_mc' which contains various MC's to be shown based on user selection (in this case, using 'system' clip as the first one already showing). Here's the code in the parent clip of that item:

Code:
var currSection = slide1_mc.system_mc;
function changeSection(newSection):Void {
TweenLite.to(currSection,.3,{_yscale:200, _xscale:200, _alpha:0});

[code]....

Here's one of serveral buttons that will control the content to be seen:

The code in the button is:

Code:
var changer = slide1_mc.software_mc;
smallButton.onPress = function() {
_parent.changeSection(changer);
};

So - the initial part of my function works so I know my 'external' initializing of "currSection" is working (that clip is zooming/fading out)... but then the clip that I want to fade in isn't doing anything.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Arguments By Reference?

May 12, 2005

Is it possible to pass arguments "by reference" instead of "by value". I know it's possible in almost every programming/scripting language I came across until today, but I didn't find any hint for doing it in Actionscript For those who don't know what "by reference" means: If you want to pass a Number to a function, say

Code:
var mynumber:Number = 5;
calculate(mynumber);
and you change the value of the argument inside the function, e.g.

[code]....

then the call to calculate normally does NOT change the value of mynumber because you have passed mynumber "by value", which means the value of mynumber has been copied to the num argument. This means mynumber is 5 all the time.Now sometimes u want to be changing arguments given to a function inside the function, and this is where u will normally use references. Passing mynumber "by reference" would mean that after calling calculate the value of mynumber will be 6...I know complex Objects like MovieClips are passed by reference. But how to do it with simple DataTypes like Number, Boolean etc.?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Content Of Array As Arguments

Jul 14, 2009

You can do this:

To take in any number of arguments. Is it possible to then give the content of that args array to a new function:

PHP Code:
public function bla (args ...){
pleh( changeArrayIntoArgs(args) );
}

So that that would be the same as just passing arguments manually. lets say bla got 3 arguments:
PHP Code:
bla(v,vv,vvv);

So that bla then executes:
PHP Code:
pleh(v,vv,vvv);
