ActionScript 3.0 :: Recover Informations Between Class And MovieClip?
Nov 29, 2009
I have a page (MovieClip) which is charger and have a attribut a matrix (not the class). On this page, there is some cases (MovieClip) which receive value of the matrix.
Each cases are managed by Class. It's a good option, because I can put a listener into the contructor of the class and not having 64 functions if I have 64 cases. This listener allows to change the value of the cases when it clicked.
The problem is that I don't see how to know when a case is clicked in the page for changing the value of the matrix.
I have to develop an iOS application able to read "news" by an existent mySql DB on my customer's web site.Is there a way to do this in AS3? I didn't wrote that DB, but I've got these informations:
Served Address; 33.222.1.000 DB: myDbName User Login: brandon Password: *******
I never used DBs in my personal works, then I don't know how to implement my code to communicate (read only) with my customer's web site database.
For my work I have to introduce a Print button that will prints everything that is in the cart. However, I never did anything of that sort in Flash,.For now, I did a bit of research about how to do it and I do understand I'll have to use PrintJob with another MovieClip... but I need a bit of explanations about a few things.
First, in the cart (which can be printed), there are several "items" that have the same informations, such as the name, the price, comments, etc.Do I have to create one MC that contains informations on one row and add it to the AddPage of PrintJob (I will have 5 MC [5 pages] if I have 5 items in cart), or add all the items into the same MC?
Also, the flash is horizontal (1920x1280). Do I have to change the orientation of the PrintJob to print in landscape? Plus, how to know if the text is far enought of the margins? Do I have to consider the margins in the MC and thus puts a good distance between the borders of the MC and my content?
Adding a "page" to the PrintJob, how does it work? Is it a real "paper page"? I hope you understand what I mean by that, I can give more details if needed but I can't give the source (.fla).
I have a strange problem with LocalConnection.Situation: A sample e-shop. I have a parent .swf who load 3-4 external swf.In a external swf (let's name it "X") u can order items u want.
Because i don't want to lose the informations of the 'shopping' bag of customer when the parent swf unload the 'X' and load something another (for example "contact us"), i use localconnection with both duplex between parent swf and 'X'.
Problem: In the swf "X" i have an array "Bag" which holds the id of items the customer clicked to buy. When change the external swf, i send via localconnection to the parent .swf this array (done, i tried with trace).
I'm trying to create a webRadio player, wich different sources. On a click on a button, the player plays the corresponding flow. I would like to display some informations, like : current music, url, description, I think it's possible to have all those informations, because when I play my. files in my audio player (winamp), I've got them. Here is my code corresponding to this part :
I have a swf. With a script inside that I need to recover the URL this same swf, dynamically (via actionscrit). But I don't know a actionscript command that return the url of the swf.
I was working on an animation for a project and Flash told me it couldn't save and Save As wasn't working. The program crashed and the file I was working on was corrupted. I doubled my effort on getting back to where I was on my project, being extra careful not to do what caused it to crash before. Unfortunately, fate was not on my side, and it did it again. Obviously I'm screwed, but still I like to keep on to my projects and upload them to megaswf or something to share on facebook. I'm using CS5 btw.

Problem: In the swf "X" i have an array "Bag" which holds the id of items the customer clicked to buy. When change the external swf, i send via localconnection to the parent .swf this array (done, i tried with trace). And when the parent loads again the external .swf "X" , it send again the same array via localconnection to "X". The "X" receives it right (done, i verified it with trace). The strange is.. when the customer clicks another item, the array resets to zero!!!
Using Adobe Flash CS3 on a sometimes dual monitor setup. After attaching back to my docking station, and starting up Flash CS3, the window is off the edge of the right hand monitor somewhere, and I am not sure where. The mouse cursor makes it look like the window is somewhere off the lower right hand corner of the screen somewhere, but even after holding in the left and up arrows for a long time, there is no motion, and the window never appears. I can maximize the program back to my primary monitor, but this is hardly an ideal solution.
I have found the following registry entry, but am unsure if it applies to what I'm having problems with or what the format of the entry is: HKEY_CURRENT_USERAdobeFlash 9SettingsWindow
How can I access to an object who fires an eventListener event?
Let's say I have a mc:
var element = new MovieClip();
which has an eventlistener: element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, elementEventHandler);
[Code]....
So that is what I want to achieve... Recover the object who fired the event and then do crazy things with it (in this example, add another object in it).
pd: yes, I know I can directly use the var element in this snippet, but in the real code I'm generating the mcs in a loop, according to a xml file.
My Flex app uses local SharedObjects. There have been incidents of the Flash cookie getting corrupt, for example, due to a plugin crash. In this case SharedObjects.getLocal will throw an exception (#2006).
My client wants the app to recover gracefully: if the cookie is corrupt, I should replace it with an empty one. The problem is, if SharedObject.getLocal doesn't return an instance of SharedObject, I've nothing to call clear() on. How can I delete or replace such a cookie?
I am developing a software in flash in which I need to draw some points in a movie clip dynamically with moveTo() and lineTo() during the runtime of the software. However, later in the future (during runtime), given the (x,y) coordinates of a point, I need to know if this specific point is part of the curve I drew before. Is there a way of doing that without saving the (x,y) coordinates of all the points I have drawn in the movie clip?
I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".
Is it possible to recover the HttpHeader information from a flex Client? I want to do the following:
User download the flex client from a web site
In each communication flex client catch the HttpHeader information in order to change (If it is necessary) the host information to be connected (For example in a HA configuration)
If I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,
fla1.fla has a document class of MyMainClass: public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass: public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.
Ok, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?
How can I run function of the main document class from a class of a MovieClip? I usually just used MovieClip(parent).function(), but now my MovieClip has another parent. Or what do I have to pass to the MovieClip class when creating the MovieClip to acess the main document class?
Is it possible to dispatch event from class that isnt extended class of MovieClip? I created my own class and put import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.*; but when i call dispatchEvent compiler throws error:"1180: Call to a possibly undefined method dispatchEvent."
I'm trying to build a shuffle function that somebody gave me into my card game. I two external .as classes; one is Shuffle.as, which is my document class, and the other is card.as. I'm building the shuffling function into Shuffle.as. I think I'm getting close to making it work, but there are some problems. I keep getting this error message: "5000: The class 'Shuffle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type." Here is my code. Shuffle.as code
Going further on my app, I felt in another problem. Despite having lots of posts on the web regarding this, none of the solutions worked for me In my document class (Main.as) ve two containers. One empty and another with a star that is being imported from the library. Here´s the main class:
I am doing a looping background with 2 identical BG movieClip (B1 and B2). Those 2 are "new" by the same class.
var B1:MovieClip = new BG(); var B2:MovieClip = new BG();
But because this BG class picture is loader from the internet and the picture is rather big. When I addressed its loading by using progressEvent. The picture is really loaded 2 times. Is there anyway I create B2 based on B1 without using new BG() again? Since it definitely makes a new BG with Loader code inside.
I have a movieclip instance named 'placeholder' on the canvas, and I want to change the alpha of the named movieclip from it's class without effecting the alpha of all the movieclips of the same type. How would I specifically target the named movieclip instance that is on the canvas?
I'm trying to do a cleaning of some classes that is added into a MovieClip, but I can't seems to set the MovieClip(Class) to null. What is the proper way to do it?
private var mcHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip()[code].................
I have made an interface called IHero i implement in my hero.as3 class.the hero class is written so it can be inheritted in a movieclip class to handle movement etc etc. But somehow i can't figure out how to code this with a good practice.How should i do this?I want to have a movieclip that would be a hero i will use as a main character in a rpg game. Should i just implement the IHero in the movieclip class or?
package com.interfaces { public interface IHero[code].....
