ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Static Constant Name In XML?
Mar 16, 2010
maybe this is something small I'm overlooking, but I can't figure out how to pull this offI have an XML file that keeps data on my tilesheets. Currently it keeps info on the width and height of the tiles (works fine), but I also want to tell my program what part of ananimation it belongs to. I have a class set up that keeps some constants on the state of the object, that will decide it's animation. For example, if the state equals"PlatformState.WALKING", I alternate between tiles 1, 2 and 3, if the state is"PlatformState.FALLING", It alternates between 4 and 5.The static constant PlatformState.WALKING is a uint with value 0, FALLING has value 1, etc. But I don't want to put the rough values in the XML, but the constant names.

Let's say you have the following situation:
1. Static var(an Array) stored in a class.
2. You create a variable reference to the static class in a separate class.
3. Splice some items from the reference variable in the separate class.
4. Trace the static class and the items have been removed from that too.
5. Verify several times.
6. Get confused.
7. Post on Kirupa.

is it not possible to define a static const array? i would like to have an optional parameter to a function that is an array of colors,
private static const DEFAULT_COLORS:Array = new Array(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF);
public function myConstructor(colorsArray:Array = DEFAULT_COLORS)

}
i know i can use ...args but i actually wanting to supply the constructor with 2 separate arrays as option arguments.

Is there an easy way to validate that the type passed to the Constructor is one of the Static Constants of the Class, without having to check it against each value?

I have a static utility class that must have a reference to the stage, and I'm not sure what is the best option for me to get the stage inside my class...
I've thought of these options:Pass in as a parameter of the function Have a static variable I can set to the stage I don't like either of these because they are ugly.
What methods can you suggest for me to get a reference to the stage in my static class?

I am trying to set the value of some static vars but I need to reference the class with a string rather than a proper constructor. In AS3 I can do this with:
var ref:Class = getDefinitionByName(classDefinitionAsString) as Class;
ref[varNameAsString] = newValue;
I can't find an equivelant approach that will work in AS2 though. I have tried:
var ref:Object = new [classDefinitionAsString];
ref[varNameAsString] = newValue;
This seems to just create an Object and as the vars that I am trying to access are static I don't really want to be using 'new' I just want to reference the vars.

I'm setting up a class of public static vars that are to be BitmapData.
The problem I'm having is I can't seem to reference the vars dynamically in an array, making it impossible to give them values without some serious procdedural style coding.
This is what it looks like
package com.myPackage{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Should I assume it's because my array is a private var and placing references to public static vars is illegal? Is somebody gonna call the flash police on me?

Is it possible to reference a control in an application from a static function?
What I have is a Viewstack containing VBoxes stored in separate controls. Ex:
<mx:ViewStack id="content" width="100%" height="100%" resizeToContent="true">
<controls:Login/>
<controls:Dash/>
[Code]....
Once I get logged in on my login control, I would like to change the selected index of my ViewStack. From my outside controls, I cannot reference my ViewStack by name. I can reference a public static function from an outside control however I cannot refer to the ViewStack from within that function.

I'm trying to make methods available like so:
ActionScript Code:
MyClass.myFunc();
Instead of
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
myVar.myFunc();
I know that to do so I need to declare the functions/variables/constants as static:
ActionScript Code:
package MyPackage {
public class MyClass extends Object {
public static function myFunc():void {
} public function MyClass() {
[Code] .....
When I try to access the static function through the full reference (i.e trace(MyPackage.MyClass.myFunc);), it works, while trace(MyClass.myFunc); returns undefined. This contradicts what I've read in tutorials and posts on the Internet. They all use the short syntax, not the full path.

What I'm looking for is a way to reference the document class instance, to be able to access functions and variables that other classes need. I'm currently doing it with this little piece of code I found on some blog or forum.
Code: Select all// This is in the document class
private static var _instance:DocClass; // I have tried setting this to public and accessing it directly as well
public static function get instance():DocClass { return _instance; }
[code]....
This seems to work as it should in Flash CS4, but when I try to run the same code in CS5 I get the following error message:
Code: Select allC:UsersImpenDocumentsMy DropboxFlash Project\_SPELTankGameMenuShop.as, Line 238 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method globalFunction through a reference with static type DocClass.

Basically I have 2 classes, A and B. B derives from A. Inside A, I declare a static variable/constant to the class of B. When I run the program, I get a null object reference error, with the line pointing to the class declaration of B, i.e.
Code:
public class B extends A
For reference, these are the 2 classes:
Code:
package
{
public class A
{
[code]...
Also, this error only occurs when the variable is static. If it's just a normal variable it works fine, i.e.
Code:
private var OTHER:Class = B;
If I change the static variable to point to a different class, it's also fine, i.e.
Code:
private static var OTHER:Class = Main;
I can probably work around this, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass. Anybody know what's causing it, or is this a Flash bug?

Error: Access of undefined method getStatus through reference with a static type Class.
Here's what's happening in the code. I'm trying to create a User class that is instantiated at the start of my app. I want the User class to have properties like mainStatus, with helper methods like setStatus etc. Pretty simple.
so on my HardDisk I have my flash_working folder with all my flash projects. I created my class file/package under the directory com.mypackage
[Code]....
That's all the code I have.
If I try to access the public var mainStatus through user.mainStatus that gives a similar error saying:

I have the actionscript code here for a bubble popping game. When the game starts, bubbles fall down from the top of the game to the bottom and score is kept for the most bubbles clicked or popped in 30 seconds.The size of the bubble is defined by the initialize method in the code, and uses ToString() to calculate the score.
