ActionScript 3.0 :: Stripping Variable Between Sub Classes?
Dec 5, 2010
I was just wondering if this is possible and the best way to achieve the following.I have 3 classes. One base class and 2 subclasses. eg MyShape, Square, Circle. The Circle and Square classes both override the MyShape's assignProperties method which takes a string as its argument.What I do in this method is loop through a serialized string and assign variables.So the string looks something like p:10|x:200|f:300Because some of the properties are generic to the MyShape class I have the Circle and Square assignProperties call super.assignProperties()Now this all works great but I realised I'm going to get some repitition calling it at each level.
So I was thinking is it possible to get the supers.assignProperties to strip a property from the string if it is found before the assignProperties in the Circle and Square class is called.Here is sort of what I have with a little pseudo codeSquare Class assignProperties Method
PHP Code:
assignProperties(_properties:String) {
var properties:Array = _properties.split('|');

I've toyed with this script for some time now and I am having issues removing lines of code and still getting my script to work. Basically I want to keep how this code loads and centers the parts of that code that refer to "mc" but I want to take out anything that refers to "bkg". I have gone through the code step by step to comment out areas but when I get to the very bottom, if I comment out this line:

i have 10 sentences i am importing into flash from xml. here is a sample:
[Code]...
what i really want is the punctuation put into its own array. i strip c like this: Code: var strings = c.split(" "); and of course that places every character into the array and the last character is "legs!". for other purposes i need to split it in every character but how can i now separate the punctuation (in order) so i can recall it later.

I've got two classes running...one is a document class (EgoGame.as) and another is a class linked to several similar movie clips (Ball.as).I'm trying to access a public variable from Ball.as which has been declared in the doucment class EgoGame.as.When I run the test the outputs states the following...1120: Access of undefined property _ballPlaced.Here's my code. What I'm trying to do is remove the event listeners from the Ball.as when the _ballPlaced variable is true, so that the user can't drag and drop the balls after they've been placed in a zone.

I have a problem with returning variable between classes. As far as I know there are some ways to do it but in this particular case I tried to use Getter.
So I have an XML file (content.xml), a class to read XML (LoadXMLExt.as), a class to display images, and the main class which first call the LoadXMLExt to get the information from and then call the displayimage class including passing the information from LoadXMLExt.

I'd have thought this to be simple, but nothing works. I have a game I'm working on, and in it, there will be a speed stat. The fast you are going, the faster everything else has to move to make it look like you are moving faster.The problem is, the speed stat (obviously not called speed) is one of the upgradable stats, and needs to be available for the class handling upgrades for it to be changed, and it needs to be read by the class handling moving objects.The second class however, has absolutely no idea the variable even exists. I've tried for weeks to look up a tutorial on it, but there doesn't seem to be any at all that I can find. (I am using public variables, and have tried various ways of trying to point at the class it's from but apparently I must be using the wrong syntax)

I have two classes. See below.
What I want to do is pretty simple but I must not know how to do it. I want the URLFactory to create the Array and store it in the variable "dataArray" and use the Array in the Main class by calling the GetList() of the URLFactory class. What I have returns nothing...
Basically I need to set a variable equal to URLLoader.data (var something:String = URLLoader.data) so I can use this variable in other classes.

AS3 says you need to load variables into a class?my variables look like this... (the whole point of playing around with variables was that if I had to make a change I could access one place and change them but now I realse that I can't access or call them outside the movie clip they are in.[code] The Wholesale price.

I'm trying to make a Class for a slideshow. I have a problem using the setInterval and clearInterval methods.See my code below. In the showPic function I have a conditional clearing the interval (repeating the showPic function). At least, it should do so, but it's not working. The interval continues. I'm using "this" so that's not the problem. Maybe it has to do with the scope of the variable to which I assigned the interval?

I finally got the variable referencing between classes and custom event problems sorted out. Now I got a question regarding the Error #2044 and Error #2035. The error reads like this:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I've put all the swf in the same directory, so I don't think that is the problem. Could it be that my XML file is in another directory that's causing the problem? I also heard having quotes in the URL in the XML file could also be problematic. Is that true? Here are my AS and my XML file.

I've rarely used static variables or methods when creating external classes, but I have on occasion, and it's very useful when I need global access to a value. I've seen negative criticism on the use of the "static" keyword, but never understood why. Is there a right and wrong way of using it, or is this not true? I'd like to use it in a context similar to classes such as MouseEvent or TextFieldAutoSize, where there is a list of values globally accessible for identification purposes.
It allows better code readability, and also allows for easy customization in the future. The value of TextFieldAutoSize.NONE is "none", but as long as a programmer used the reference TextFieldAutoSize.NONE and not the string literal "none", Adobe could change the value of TextFieldAutoSize.NONE to be "hahahahaha" and everything would still work just dandy because (TextFieldAutoSize.NONE == TextFieldAutoSize.NONE) is still true even though ("none" == "hahahahaha") is not.
Is there any kind of negative impact on using static variables this way? Or even functions for that matter? I'd just like to clarify this before I go and build a large project around the idea this is perfectly okay.

i've got two classes and i'm not extending to MovieClip. I like to attach the mc in the constructor just because i'll be working with different MC's that have the same purpose.
however, im using private var loadedMC:Movieclip and now i've got another class that needs to be able to access the instance's variable.
for example, myClass.loadedMC , but this would mean having to make it public and I rather not go that route.

I just started using flashdevelop and I have some problems with importing all classes.
1. I used export all classes to SWC file and I added it to the library in FD. How can I import instances placed on the stage without creating AS linkages? I don't want to export these instances for AS, because some of them are textfields. By making linkages I'm forced to transform them to Sprite or MovieClip (am I right?) and my methods connected to these object don't work anymore.
2. When I export my project in FD, I get error 1065: variable Main is not defined. Main is my document class. I made this class my entry in FD.

Is there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)

The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.

I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?

I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..

inheritance and building classes from other classes.
I have 3 classes:
gfxRoomText - changeable colour
gfxRomInter - changeable colour - interactive
gfxRoomImg - interactive - only image / no colour
The first two incorporate the same text field and functions to change colour. The second and third incorporate another class to interactive with. What is the best way of creating these classes using inheritance and how?

I am new to classes and I am just starting to follow tutorials on how to assign classes and sub classes and I am wondering when you assign a base class or class to an object(Symbol e.g movieclip) through the properties, are all instances on the stage no matter how many and what they are named influenced and is the Stage/main timeline always the parent? and just one more question, is the parents objects display list all the movieclips that are used on the stage or all the instances on the stage?

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've created a base class to house some basic functions I'd like to have across several movie clips in a game I'm making, however, when I link a custom class to the same movie clip I get the message; "The base class will not be used because the class specified is already defined and extends its own subclass. If you wish to use the base class, specify a class name in the Class field that will be auto-generated or enter the default base class 'flash.display.MovieClip' in the Base Class field." I removed the 'extends MovieClip' inside the Class but it still shows the message. Does this mean that I cannot use a custom class and a custom base class on a movie clip?
