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

I'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)

Running Flash CS3, I've reviewed the lynda.com tutorial on building particle systems in ActionScript 3.0 to try and build some shooting sparks in an animation.I'm getting stuck at what I think is a really elementary point, but I can't seem to get past it.
Basically, all I'm trying to do at this point is create a class called Particle (which I will teach to do things that particles do a little later) link it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the particle's update function to move it across the stage in a manner defined in the instance (so I can later give different movement properties to each AS generated instance of the MC). I know there are easier ways to accomplish my base task without loading an external package, but this seems so strightforward that I must be doing something very simple wrong I just can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.
I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my Spark Test.fla file.
In Particle.as I have the following code:
package{ import flash.display.*; public class Particle extends MovieClip { public xVelocity:Number; public yVelocity:Number; public function Particle() { xVelocity = 0; yVelocity = 0; } public function update():void { this.x += xVelocity; this.y += yVelocity; } }}
So I'm declaring that all particles are built with no motion, but if they are explicitly granted an x or y velocity, they will move by that much when the instance's update function is called in the timeline.
Then in my Spark Test.fla file, I have a small shape in a MovieClip called Spark. In the Linkage properties of Spark I have chosen to Export for ActionScript and Export in FIrst Frame. The class is called Spark and the Base class is Particle. For testing purposes I've dropped an instance on the stage and called it spark. Then in the actions layer in the first frame (the timeline is just the spark layer and the actions layer, one frame long each with no "stop();" so it should run forever) I have included the following code:
spark.xVelocity = 5;spark.yVelocity = -1;
function updateSpark(event:Event):void{ spark.update();}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSpark);
What it looks like this should do is on each ENTER_FRAME Flash should call updateSpark which is a function that runs the update() event for the spark instance which is a instance of a movieclip that has an update event which moves x and y position by their relative velocity variables. This all seems pretty straightforward to me, but when I ctrl-Enter to test the movie, I get the following 3 compiler errors:
Particle.as Line 1: 5000: The class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Particle.as Line 7: 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not xVelocity.
Particle.as Line 7: 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before semicolon.
I am receiving the following compile time error when attempting to extend the SimpleButton class in AS3:
1017: the definition of base class SimpleButton was not found
and the code:
package com.shakti.gameState{
import flash.display.SimpleButton.SimpleButton;
public class buttonTile extends SimpleButton {
public var id:int;

And i cant figure it out.the "my.fla.class"content looks like this
Code:

package {
public class priyan {
public var a:String = "priyan";
public var b:String = "bhagavath";
public function method():void {
trace(a);
trace(b);
The above script, i got it from one of the ActionScript 3.0 book. i just work it out in flash. But it shown error 5000: The class 'priyan' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

i have couple of classes that i use in my projects.they have the package name gkAPI and was in the folder D:gkAPI but i had to reinstall windows and also flash cs4 and also the drive letter changed so the class files are in E:gkAPI i added the line "E:gkAPI " in source files in preferences but the project which used these classes fail to compile. it worked earlier (so there cant be any typing mistake") but now saying the classes specified cannot be found

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).

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 have been using Flash for a long time and I have never seen this error before. I have the solution for this, but I don't understand what is actually causing the issue.
I have attached a zip file with an fla and two as files. If you run it as is you will get :
Code:
1026: Constructor functions must be instance methods.
5000: The class 'Main2' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
5000: The class 'MemoryGame' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
The problem appears to be that on frame 3, we have an instance (named replayButton) of an object called btn_Replay, with linkage turned on correctly. If you rename the object and linkage to Replay (or anything else) it works fine. Set it back to btn_Replay, it breaks once again.
There is nothing in the code that should affect this.
I have a character with about 5000 frames of lip sync talking. My problem is getting the character which is a 'fly' to have a constant gentle bounce looping over and over. I can obviously do this with motion tween but doing this with over 5000 frames is a bit counter productive.

View 3 RepliesI've tried on TinyChat but Flash won't recognize it except as a microphone. I've tried at BlogTV, the webcam shows up in Flash Settings but there's no video output. Webcam does work in it's own LifeCam software & supposedly with Windows Messenger software (hasn't been tested on Messenger). I've installed the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 and that seems to be working but BlogTV still won't respond.
View 2 RepliesI just thought I'd drop a note here to those who are interested. I recently posted about it on my website and you can download the source for it there too. Here's some excerpts:
Ive run it at 60+ FPS with 7,000 particles, but that actually isnt the limitation (unless your particles are crunching heavy math for eg movement). Rather its the size and number of sprites that were colliding with the particles.
To squeeze all the juice out of Flash I employed a couple tricks. The first was the particles themselvestheyre blitted to a single bitmap which is used as the source image for grabbing collision data from. The particles are also drawn with the raster engine in Flash (multiple setPixel32() ops to give the illusion of a line a choppy one anyway) instead of the vector renderer (lineTo()).
The second trick was to only grab a Vector of pixels from the regions we cared about (within sprite boundaries) every so often, then to loop through the Vector and test it against our desired conditions. Also, since the particle bitmap is more sparse than our sprites as far as opaque pixels go, we test the particle bitmap first, resulting in a lot fewer passes on the first round of conditional statements.
That's the gist of it, but I explain it a bit more in detail in the post. Hope someone finds this useful and please let me know if you come up with something cool using it

View 3 RepliesMy artist drew a beautiful island but it's 5000 in width. We scroll it as it's for a Virtual World. - it's in layers and we scroll the different layers at different speeds. Flash documentation states that the limit is 2880 BUT it does work in the player i.e.: you can see the full island but it does run a little slow.
Should I
a. Create a smaller island of 2880 which is a shame as I would have to get rid of a lot of good stuff
b. Split it into two images and dynamically connect them with code.
Also, I have different layers scrolling at different speeds which would make things more difficult to look natural.

I am refactoring a hugh action script solution in Flash builder (beta 2) using the flex 4 sdk.The project does NOT use the mx framework.What i want to have is:
A big 'MAIN' project several small 'MODULE' projects. each 'MODULE' class refrences the 'MAIN' project as an External reference (doesnt compile into swf) - this is done by setting link type = external in the 'MODULE' project properties -> library path.'MAIN' loads a 'MODULE' project on runtime using the 'loader' class.
the problem:I recieve an error from the MODULE project: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class [some class in MAIN] could not be found.
