ActionScript 3.0 :: Reusing An Object / Variable Name

May 18, 2009

Out of some curiosity and the use of possible standard key variables so I don't have to create several instances to the same class, I was trying the following:

My question is: Is there a better approach to this on AS3? Something tells me I'm just heading the wrong way there...

IDE :: Reusing Reusable Classes?

Apr 14, 2009

I am having a real problem with understanding something in flash - it doesn't work in the way I expect so I figure I have really misunderstood something.What I want:I am creating a bunch of .swf files and in each one I want multiple instances of an object that when you put the mouse over it the object will play its animation a bit and pop up a tool tip. Each object can look different (i.e. be a different bitmap) and animate differently (shake, pop, rotate etc).What I did:I have tried to create a class (myMouseItem) that creates the necessary listeners to handle the animation and pop up the tool tip.

I create a library item and attach it to the myMouseItem class. I can then put one instance of this inside my .fla and it works. (I still seem to have to put a .stop() in the actionscript for the scene to get it to stop animating for ever but I can probably live with that)What I can't figure out:How do I repeat this with multiple objects all with different bitmaps but reusing the underlying class? When I try to add another instance of my library class and edit the bmp it changes all instances. When I try to create another library item with the same underlying base class I get an error saying that I have to choose a unique identifier, so I don't seem to be able to reuse my .as file.

IDE :: CS5 Reusing MC - Reduce The Size Of Swf

Mar 1, 2011

I am trying to reduce the size of my swf, and I see that I am using a movieclip on each frame on the Timeline, which has to be adding considerable size to my file, since I have placed the movieclip(animation) on every frame. How could I do this more efficiently and still acchieve animation between each frame? I have included a ripped version of the fla. , since the attachment limit here is pretty low. In the file the video - files and the picture files have been removed, but the rotate... mc's(animation) are placed in the interanim Layer and the Menustate Layer, on each frame.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reusing Functions On More Than One Movie Clip?

Apr 2, 2009

I'm doing a filmstrip animation and each frame of the strip has a small pic on it and using TweenLite, I'm making it expand and contract on mouse rollover and rollout. That's not the problem. Since it's basically the same function, I don't want to have to write it for all 16 frames. I thought I'd try 'this' but that doesn't work on AS3. So I'm trying to find a solution that does. Here's my code (for one frame of the movie....in this case, the eighth).:

import gs.TweenLite;
fsAnim.filmstrip_mc.photo8_mc.addEventListener(Mou seEvent.MOUSE_OVER, photoOver);
fsAnim.filmstrip_mc.photo8_mc.addEventListener(Mou seEvent.MOUSE_OUT, photoOut);
function photoOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reusing The Same Variables And Event Listeners On Different Scenes?

Apr 17, 2009

if I have two scenes and on scene 1 I have some code with variables and event listeners in it and I copy that code into Scene 2. When I test the movie I get a duplicate function definition error because the variables/event listeners on both scene 1 and 2 have the same names. To fix this I could just change the names of the variables and event listeners in scene 2 to a different name but what if I have say 10 or 20 scenes then I would need to change the names of all of them on every frame and I don't want to do that.Is there a way of using the same variables/event listeners on different scenes without having to rename them and without getting the duplicate function definition error.

Java :: Reusing The Client Session Extraction Logic?

Jun 6, 2011

I want to be able to reuse my existing controller logic regardless of whether a request has been sent from a Flex client (using BlazeDS + Spring at the backend), or as a simple HTTP POST/GET request. For simple cases, things work OK, however, there are some occasions when I need to access some session attributes. At first, I almost exclusively used the FlexContext class, but then I realized that when one sends an HTTP request, then the Flex Context is obviously undefined.

My question is, what is the best approach to abstract the session extraction logic,regardless of the type of the request. In other words, I would make a class called SessionManager, which has a method getSession. This class will make a check whether there is a Flex context, if there is, it will return the session of that context. If not, it will simply return the current HTTP session (which I assume is the same as the Flex client session, but I was not sure)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reusing Functions - What Movieclips The Function Should Be Applied To?

Sep 11, 2009

I somehow am able to write bits of code but am still learning how to restructure code so that it is more efficient.I have 15 buttons. Each one, when rolled over, should change the color of 2 movieclips underneath it (and when rolled out, should change back). I have the below code so far but I don't think I have to re-write the functions each time. How do I "re-use" the function code (or, only write the function code once), but specify what movieclips the function should be applied to? These are just 2 of the buttons of the 15:

Code:
menu_mc.invis1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, changeColor);
menu_mc.invis1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, changeBack);
function changeColor(event:MouseEvent):void[code].................

AS3 :: Accessing Attributes Of A Static Variable Of An Object From Another Object

Nov 7, 2009

I have 2 classes, Display holds the currently selected Component:

public class Display
{
public static var selectedComponent:Component;
}

Component has an ID string and the selectedComponent variable is set on click:

public class Component extends MovieClip
{
public var id:String;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() {

[Code]...

Removing the selectedComponent variable type so it reads public static var selectedComponent; removes the conversion error and seems to change the ID variable but it appears to only be a copy of the object.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reusing Datagrid, Removing Previous Data & Repopulating?

May 25, 2011

I have a datagrid in a flash app. The intial use works fine. The flash has the ability to recalculate the needed data which I then use to repopulate the existing datagrid. What is the best way to clear out a datagrid and repopulate it?I tried:ifxGrid.dataProvider.removeAll();but it does not clear out the previous dataifxGrid.removeAllColumns();this worked a little but not entirely.So what's currently happening is that the new data is appended to the old data. So if I had 50 rows in the 1st calculation and then I have 70 rows in the 2nd calculation I end up with 120 rows of data in my datagrid.

Flex - Spark List Reusing The Wrong Item Renderers?

Feb 9, 2010

I have a List component using multiple item renderers determined by the itemRendererFunction. When I set the data the first time, it works as expected. Then, when I set the data a second time with new data, it doesn't call the itemRendererFunction and tries to reuse the current renderers even though they don't match the data.Once I scroll, the function is called and the correct renderers are used. I tried calling invalidateDisplayList and such prior to setting the data, but that didn't fix the problem.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Reusing / Storing Loaded Content In A Movie - Cache In Flash

Jul 8, 2010

Suppose you have a slideshow movie that loads content such as images or Flash movies itself and continually replaces content with new images or movies as a viewer browses through content. Is there a way to store images or movies that have been loaded so that if the same content is selected they do not have to downloaded again? Presumably once content has been unloaded or something has ben loaded into the same level the data is wiped from memory and has to be downloaded if it is displayed again. How could content be stored in Flash or does the content stored in the browser cache take care of this?
