I am trying to set a SimpleButton called tackle in my Pokemon game to a variable called ability1. Im getting the tackle var from a pokemon class, but its saying
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert tackleAbility$ to flash.display.SimpleButton.

trying to get a variable set so that I can use it in another class.I am trying to set the class variable animate. My "intended" goal is that I am trying to load in an external SWF file that is a pulley In this external SWF file I have a function that stops the animation called "stopAnimation()". I want to be able to access this stopAnimation function in a couple of class files. So I pass this object to those classes and then I should be able to access the stopAnimation() function from where ever but I cannot seem to get the contentloader info into a class variable in order to call it from other objects.
Here is the code
PHP Code:
package com.ahicks.assets{
import com.ahicks.Main;
import com.ahicks.Trace;
import com.ahicks.ndTween.easing.*;

I've got a string which, in run-time, contains the name of a class that I want to instantiate. I read suggestions to use
flash.utils.getDefinitionByName():
var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("package.className") as Class;
var myInstance:* = new myClass();
However, that gives me the following error:
[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable className is not defined.
I have an array, which are the literal names of class references. Eg. in my main class I have
var page1:PageOne = new PageOne();
var page2:PageTwo = new PageTwo();
var page3:PageThree = new PageThree();

I have a string variable, and based on the value of that variable, I want to create an instance of a class, I can do that with this code:

Im following a 'recipe' in the O'reilly AS3 Cookbook, but it doesnt work.i keep getting the error 5000: The class 'RectangleButton' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*
import flash.text.*;[code]]........
I was hoping to extend the simple button class in order to have it contain a text field that I can set with code but still have the benefits of the up/over/ states etc... (To set a textfield within a SimpleButton doesn't seem possible with SimpleButton out of the box, you cant reference anything in it).
View 0 RepliesI've created a button under the SimpleButton class named button1 in Flash CS4. I've set button1 so it exports to AS3. I keep getting an Error 1061 at line 3 of which I have no clue what I'm doing wrong:
Code:
1 import flash.events.MouseEvent;
2
3 button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, link1);
4
5 function link1(MouseEvent)
6 {
7var one:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL)");
8navigateToURL(one, "_self");
9 }
Error 1061: call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class.
If I am not mistaken in order to dispatch a message from a class you need to extend EventDispatcher. What happens when you are already extended the class from a different class? Is there no way to dispatch messages?

I've created a Button in Adobe Flash CS5, it's a Symbol, and its type has been set to Button.
The button has a dynamic textfield with the instance name label.
I've set the class of this Button to MenuButton, and I've set the class to Export for ActionScript.
This is the code of the MenuButton class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]....
Whenever I put a string in MenuButton's constructor, label's text doesn't change.
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

I want to set the clipboard to be a specific string. I've read about Flash's hack and the ability to hijack the clipboard + Adobe fixing this. I just wanted to know if I would have any problems if an end user has a Flash 10 player? What I could do with my solution is to simply pass in a variable via Flashvars + when a button I have on stage is clicked, will copy the Flashvars value to the clipboard:
System.setClipboard(myFlashVarVariable);
I just thought I'd ask anyway - the last thing I would want is something that worked perfectly in my environment that didn't work for all end users!
I'm trying to read xml fields (with actionscript 3), but the problem is that I choose which field to read dynamically. For example, I may need to read test19 or test39 or test12 or anything else.
var value:Number = event.result.test19;
var value:Number = event.result.test39;
var value:Number = event.result.test12;
Is there a way to construct that event.result.test19 part dynamically? Something like the code idea below

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
I'm pretty new to Flash and I'm struggling with defining the text-color of a variable within a compound String. Here's what I have so far:
[Code]...
i'm getting a value from a class that gives me e.g "icon1" as data. i want to use this within a function to control the visibility of an item nested in a movieclip on the stage. the nested movie has the same name as the data being sent.
// here's what i want it to do:
mymenu.icon1.visible = true;
// but i cant append the 2 together as flash will see it as a string not read it as path.
[Code]....
I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
how do convert the myString var which is a string to the class name?
var myString:String = "movieClipInTheLibraryClassName"
var t:myString = myString()
making my number value to 2 decimal places...
I have 2 string that contain a number in dynamic text (pricing_txt /pricing_txt2) that i have turned into numbers (myNumber/myNumber2). I then have a calculation that adds these two together and i need the result to be 2 decimal places long.
I have used the code
Code:
("number"*100)/100
which from looking on mny sites should solve the problem but it is still not working. My code is below...
Code:
var myString:String = pricing_txt.text;
var myString2:String = pricing2_txt.text;
var myNumber:Number = Number(myString);

This is sort of difficult to explain but I'll do my best. I've got 6 score variables that go up over time.
[Code]...
Each corresponds to a different color of "Monster" class I reated. "GreenMonster", "BlueMonster", etc. are all custom classes. Each class has a string property called "MonsterColor". So "Blue1.MonsterColor = "Blue".
To save lines of code, and learn, I'm trying to use a local string variable to take the place of whichever of these 6 int variables I need. So inside a for loop, I've created a variable called "colorscore".

I would like to dinamically create array variables, depending on a XML file. The problem I have is that I don't know how to create them dinamically using a name I have constructed into a string variable. What I would like is something like this:
var strVarName;
...
strVarName = "Var" + i;
var strVarName = new Array();
...
So I would have n arrays called Var1, Var2, ... Varn.
