ActionScript 3.0 :: Referring To A Variable Within A Class?
Feb 5, 2009
I have found a tutorial which shows me how to create a class. It also shows me how to construct an object in the main code. What I want to do is to access a variable from the object that I made. Heres the code...This is the link to the tutorial:http:[url]....
Code:
package
{
public class Car [code]....
Then I use this code to construct the object, which in this case is a car (the code is in my main flash file):
Code:
var mycar:Car = new Car("Porche", 3.2, 4, "Normal doors");
I understand all of the code, but how do I reference a variable like the engine? I have tried lots of things like "trace(this[mycar] .engine)", "trace(mycar.engine) but nothing seems so work. I just get error messages of property undefined.

I'm trying to access an instance by using a variable but when I try to manipulate a property to the instance (by referring to it with a variable) it only recognizes it as a string... for instance... (pun intended??)
public var prevbutton:String = "btn1";
trace(["page"+prevbutton]);
// which traces - pagebtn1
trace(pagebtn1);
// which traces the instance class - [object btn1pageclass]
I want to call the instance by using a variable... how do I do this?

I am reading a file with certain user defined variables like &x=30&y=50&z=100
Lets the variable is caught in a function as argument myVar
now depending on the variable the user passes I need to fetch the value. ie if the user passes x i need to read the value of x. how the user has named his/her variables.
What i need to do it get the value of that variable by using loadVar.
this.myVar; As such it gives me undefined. There is text present in 'this' myVar represents 'x' I have tried eval(this.myVar) as well as this.eval(myVar) but in vain

I am building a simple ToolTip-Class. In case the cursor gets to close to the stage's border's I'd like it to flip accordingly, so it won't get cropped.
For this I'd like to compare the stage width and my mouseX and then scale and wove things accordingly.
However when I try to get stage.stageWidth from inside my package it will return null.

I realize this is kind of an odd issue, but I am wondering if there's any way to get Flash to allow me to access a class's static functions using a class variable that points to the class. Example:I create a class called FooClass that has a static function named fooI then create a variable of type Class that points to it
Code:
var class:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("FooClass"));
However, when I try to call foo() using the variable, it errors saying the function

I'm trying to create a class which will create a tween for several different instances of an object. I am creating the instances in the Document Class. The trick is, I would like to specify how long each tween will take.
Here's what I have so far:
DOCUMENT CLASS
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import mcCloud;
[Code].....
As you can see, I have a variable "myTime" which syncs the timer and the tween. This causes to tween to repeat and the clouds to continually scroll across the stage. How can I determine the var myTime at the time I create each instance of the Movie Clip mcCloud?

When I declare a class variable
private var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
It creates a new instance of that class that will trace as [Object MyClass].
However, as soon as I assign it to something
myVar = thisOtherVar;
It will now trace as [Object thisOtherVar].
I need to get it back to where it's just an "empty" blank class instance, if that makes any sense at all.

I've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me.[code]

How do I listen from the main class to a sub class for a variable change?
package {
import flash.events.*
public class DataBase extends MovieClip {
[Code].....
This is what I have so far for the sub class but I can't seem to figure out how to listen to this variable change from Main() or even if I am dispatching the event properly.

I have two document classes. One is Main.as the other is Step2.as. I want to declare a public variable in Main.as then need to give it a value from Step2.as. That value will later be used in my next Document class Step3.as How would I write the code that gives the value in my Step2.as and then how would I write the code that retrieves the value in my Step3.as?
Note I can't import my Step2/ or Step3 document class into my Main.as.

Now that I've set labels, I'm trying to create actionscript code to go to the labels. Here's an example of my code:
btn_me.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotome);
function gotome(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay(me);}
This code has been borrowed from the online video - Getting Started 18: Building an Application. Of course, in that video explicit frame numbers are used so the code looks like gotoAndPlay(15). I'd prefer to use labels for obvious reasons. My question - how do I tell Flash that 'me' is a label? I expect I need to use a special character and I've already tried gotoAndPlay(#me) but that gives me a Syntax error.

I have a small Flash file where I control a ball.In ActionScript 2.0, I have it to where this ball moves around based on input from the Arrows on the keyboard. It also bounces off the edges.I added a new separate ball (not the same symbol) and I want to refer to the NEW ball's X and Y coordinates to see if I am running into the new ball. How do I refer to the other ball's (or any other object for that matter's) properties from within the ActionScript of the first object?

How do you refer to the level one below the current level . I know _root refers to the bottom level, parent refers to one level above but I don't know what to use for one level below. Otherwise, is there a way to refer to a level by its name?
For my needs, I have a clip portfolio.swf that is loaded into a Base flash file. Within portfolio, is a loaded movie called Gallery.swf. Gallery contains a movieclip called Thumbnails which has buttons to load various image.swf files. Also within Gallery is an empty movieclip called "ContainerMC" which is where image.swf are loaded into when called upon by the thumbnail buttons. From within Thumbnails, I want to be able to refer to that movieclip "ContainerMC" which those selected image.swf files are loaded into. I can't use _root as that will refer to the base flash file. I can't use "this" as that refers to the Gallery file.

I have an object that I add movieclips into when a user does something.
I'm trying to loop through the items in this object later and perform something when object.objectName = something, however I'm finding it hard to get the right code to use in place of the something.
code within a function that adds movieclip to object:
Code:
if (thisHImage==1) {
healthArray[healthIndex] = new mcCake();
}
[Code]...
when i trace(healthO.objectName) i get [object mcCake], but it won't enter the if statement,
