I have a bunch of variables I need to pass to some class from frame where I instance classes. Is there any other way do make Class read that variable values beside this?
Sample:
ActionScript Code:
var _imgPaddingVert:Number = 2;
var _imgPaddingHor:Number = 3;
var _minTopMargin:Number = 30;
[Code].....
is it better to use public variables or public static variables?

View 2 RepliesI have a class like this..
public class Doc {
public function Doc():void {}
public var myVar:Boolean;
}
How can I know if the value held by myVar is default false, or someone has assigned false to it? Isn't there an undefined state? How can I achieve such a thing?
This might be a very stupid question, but I have to ask it anyway. I am graduating in about a month and while studying, I have always been taught to use properties instead of public variables. So I started wondering what the advantage was and I must say that in some cases, I have no clue at all. Of course it is handy when some other logic needs to be executed when setting properties or getting properties, but is there any advantage to using properties when you are only getting/setting a variable? An example of what I mean is shown below (As3).

I have a simple problem which is not easy at the moment. this is a text field class which add a text field to a movieclip (passed from root class) and also save(buffer) some data (like xml file name) in it`s public variables:
package src {
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]............
.. now I use a for loop to add instance of that class to a movie clip on stage:
for (var i:int = 0; i<Bunker[0]["trans0size"]; i++) {
menuData[i] = new menuitem00(i, menu_mc, Bunker[0]["transfile0" + i]);// pass i , a movieclip named menu_mc and an xml file name
menuData[i].name00 = Bunker[0]["transtitle0" + i]; // pass text
menuData[i].activateFlag = true; // set actveFlag to true
menuData[i].init(); // run init() inside the instance. it adds textfield to the menu_mc and also set name00 as Text for the textField
}[code].........
I want to get "xml00" var from that instance on the stage by mouse click but, trace (evt.target.xml00); is not working .. also trace (evt.target.name00); is not working. I can get everything like .alpha or .text from txt00 but not other variables in my object.
I'm literally new in AS3 and slowly trying to migrate in thats why im here seeking for help. Can someone help me how to access/control a certain public variable in a loaded swf from the main swf? this problem has been paralyzing me for days. (sigh...) [code]...

However, i cannot find any reference to FBAS in these libraries. Am I even using the correct libraries? Is there another reason I have missed as to why FBAS doesnt exist? or even why calling Facebook.init() does nothing?
Is init() function run once you instantiate it? For example:

Another question is: What's the difference between MovieClip, Shape and Sprite classes and when is it appropriate to use each?
I'm a total noob using the Facebook Graph API for AS3. I have a Flash game and the idea is to upload it to Facebook, and everything seems to be ok (When entering the Facebook app, the swf shows perfectly and I'm able to post the facebook user id, the user name and the score to a database in the server where the game is located. I intend the game to automatically post to the user feed what he/she had score, but after making a lot of tests I found out that the method is simply not running.[code]

I am guessing it must be a font that Flash doesn't likes, but I don't know how to find it. I have FontAgent Pro installed, and it shows no corrupt fonts.
I have 2K+ fonts installed, and %90+ of them are Adobe FontFolio fonts. Others are standard Windows fonts, and a few commercial ones purchased from MyFonts.com
Anyone have any solution for this? Less ridiculous than uninstalling all the fonts and re-installing them in small packs, like 10 by 10, to find which ones are no-good.

What if (stage) init(); means ? What is Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE ? Why remove listener in init ?
So I have searched, found some similar errors but unfortunately no resolution to the problem. I am writing an iPad game, and for optimisation I have created an assets reference class called R, following the example of a tutorial from gotoAndLearn. My error fires when I try to access the first static BitmapData from R, and oddly points to the class declaration line:
[Code]...
If I try commenting the access to R._l1Background (thus making the latter function do nothing) I still get similar errors when other functions try accessing R's properties. I might (most likely) have other errors in my code, but for the moment this is keeping me from debugging the rest of the game. I will ask my teachers about this and forward any lead or solution they come up with, as well as the results of my own researches.

View 2 RepliesImagine I have a game with a base Entity class, with an init method that takes no arguments. Now I have a Wizard class, but I want to pass in 2 parameters, say speed and strength. In AS3 (and I believe Java and C#) I will not be allowed to do this - it is an "incompatible override" because the method signatures won't match. Now I could just make an "initWizard" method instead, but then I have the problem of the init method of each class potentially having different names. I need solutions that work in AS3, Java or C#.

I used to work on AS2 to make my animations, buttons and portfolios, but now I needed to use AS3 to make some forms interact with some PHP script. TextInputs and Buttons on COMPONENTS are working and interacting normally with PHP. My PreLoader is working great too. But what should the easiest is not working: MY SIMPLE BUTTONS! It used to be so easy in AS1 and 2, but now on AS3 it's not working. I am putting all my action and codes in a ACTIONS FRAME in the top of my animation, but it is not working! I have my Preloader on my frame 1 working, calling my animation on frame 2. The code is here (it's working):

I've got a really weird problem that I've boiled down to its fundamentals, and I'm hoping that someone here smarter than I am knows why AS3 would be acting this way. Attached is a ZIP with a few FLAs and .AS files. I'm using Flash CS5. Please bear with me as I explain the situation.
I have a class called TestChildA:
package testing
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]...
For some reason, the fact that we're not trying to obtain a TestChildA reference allows the Frame 0 ActionScript in TestChildA.swf to execute properly. TestChildB, on the other hand, continues to fail Frame 0 execution since we're still getting a reference to it.
As we saw in the first version of the INIT handler above, querying the test_str variable out of the loaded content directly without trying to cast it worked fine. Why is it that using 'as' to get a specific reference to the content with the proper class results in the Frame 0 script of that content to fail running? Theoretically, the Frame 0 actions should have already been executed prior to reaching the INIT handler anyway, so it's doubly confusing.
If anyone has a better understanding than I of the ActionScript internals and can explain the reason for this issue,
The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.

why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.

There doesn't seem to be any documentation on the static method "init()" and the static constant "length" of the Object class. Does anyone have any more insight into these?
View 2 RepliesHow can I run a public function in the DocumentClass?
View 4 RepliesSo the reason I'm asking is..I have like 2000+ lines of code in 5 different separate classes. And they ALL have public properties and methods (as in, ALL the properties and methods are public). This is a fairly complex tile game 2d platformer. And yet everything is working fine. From what I've read, it seems that it 'MAY' cause problems later, where you might make a mistake and call a property twice, or call it 'wrongly', which then 'MAY' cause a bug that would be hard to backtrack.
There are surely many other reasons why not to do this..but if everything is working smoothly so far, should I really go back and try to make every variable private and recode this engine before I get to far?
I've got two classes running...one is a document class (EgoGame.as) and another is a class linked to several similar movie clips (Ball.as).I'm trying to access a public variable from Ball.as which has been declared in the doucment class EgoGame.as.When I run the test the outputs states the following...1120: Access of undefined property _ballPlaced.Here's my code. What I'm trying to do is remove the event listeners from the Ball.as when the _ballPlaced variable is true, so that the user can't drag and drop the balls after they've been placed in a zone.

I've created 2 public variables in my Document Class...
public var _wall1:Wall=new Wall();public var _wall2:Wall=new Wall();I've then added them to the stage and given them relevant instance names...
stage.addChild(_wall1);_wall1.x=32; _wall1.y=510;_wall1.name = "wall1";I then want to use these variables in another Class (Ball.as). They need to be accessed in a function within the Ball Class constructor.
function bubble(event:Event):void{if(this.hitTestObject(_wall1)){ this.x += 1;}else if(this.hitTestObject(_wall2)) { this.x -= 1;}However, the following Error message keeps appearing...
1120: Access of undefined property _wall1.1120: Access of undefined property _wall2.Any pointers? Do I need to import something into the Ball Class to point to the _wall# public variables in the Document Class?

I have a MainClass on a FLA file that defines both public, private, statics or not, properties and methods.I also have a package named 'components' that stocks Sprite sub-classes for my movie exportable clips. In one of them, I use the "this.root" property to access my main class instance elements at runtime.When I access public method references, same thing, I can trace them and have a true reponse to the question : [myPublicMethod is Function] ? BUT, when I want to execute the public methods, like MainClass (this.root). myPublicMethod(), the compiler boldly throws this at me :Error 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method myPublicMethod through a reference with static type MainClass.
