I have declared some public static consts within a class Instrument. So that I can hopefully access them like Instrument.SAX, instrument.HARP, etc. etc. But when I go to trace out or compare the consts, it gives me this error:

Again pulling my hair out due to some Flex/AS3 weirdness. The following code does not compile due to error 1120 - Access of undefined property AbstractWizardModel

Is it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).
I'm kind off oblivious as to what I'm doing wrong here... I have two classes: - Alley - AlleyCat

how bad is this practice? I am having trouble getting to some stuff so i am taking the easy way out
Code:
private static var _interrupted:Boolean;
public static function setInterrupted(value:Boolean):void{
_interrupted = value;
}
I'm tryng to make a public static method call another method, but Flash throws error 1180, sayng that the method called by the static method is undefined.

I am working on a Flash site template for which I am implementing the possibility for the users to change the theme dynamically while the site is opened.Basically, the site will have a few themes available and when the user selects a new theme, all of the site objects will change their properties (colors, alpha, fonts, etc) to fit the new theme.
And my questions is what is the best approach to sending the theme information to all of the objects in the site.I was thinking of making a static class called "Theme" and when the objects need a property, they will call a static getter of the Theme class that will return the appropriate property value for the object.But, from my understanding, static properties are quite slow and seeing that I may need quite a lot of them, maybe more that 100 for the whole site, will this approach be too slow ?
I am trying to set some public static constants on a class conditionally by passing variables to the compiler e.g. -define=CONFIG::ENVIRONMENT,'testing_server'

Obviously this means I have to tinker with long command line setting each time. I thought my initial approach was possible given the documentation and various tutorials I have read.

I have a class ErrorMessages which holds all my error messages as static constants. So I could access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD_INVALID or ErrorMessage.PASSWORD_TOO_SHORT. I want to know if it is possible to have separate classes that hold subset of these constants and access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.INVALID or ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.TOO_SHORT, etc. This way I can more structured static structure and makes it much easier to use autocomplete. I tried few different ways and couldn't figure out if this was possible..
View 3 RepliesI have two Cairngorm MVC Flex applications (a full version and lite version of the same app) that share many Classes. I have put these Classes into a Flex Library Project that compiles as an SWC. Both applications use some static String constants. Right now, I am storing these in the ModelLocator:

I have the following code:
var myPercStr = myStr.text;
myPercStr= myPercStr.toString();
var myPerc = Number(myPercStr);
I am trying to get the value of a text field which is created by the user pushing a pin-pad. This text field is a string which is joined() from an Array of the sequence of pin-pad entries. Now my problem is that Flash will not convert the .text text field into a string with which I can use the value to convert to a Number and perform math on it.
I want my checkbox -- which is in a datagrid, to be selected when the row of the datagrid is selected. And for this I wrote the following code:

[code]....
But I get an error for "selected" property that i used in my checkBox. the error says :

is it better to use public variables or public static variables?

so far so simple right? But now i get the 1119 error Access of undefined property BUTTON_CLICKED though a refernece with static type Class. Here's the odd part- I can use the class as normal, and access any of its public methods/properties. If i move the RichButton.as from my shared code folder into my project folder (alonside my swf and flashDevelop project files) it works fine. I have exactly the same (as fr as i can tell) structure running in another project and it works perfectly. I've tried cutting and pasting across and trying to find what i;ve done differently but no luck.
hey there. A small problem here.
i write:
object.id = 1;
trace(object.id); //everything works fine
but
trace(getChildAt(1).id); //error (btw the object is for sure in position 1)
if i try
trace(DisplayObjectContainer(getChildAt(1)).id); //still error "Access of possibly undefined property through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer"
