I am develop on Air for iPad app, just wonder is TouchEvent more efficient or MouseEevent is doing fine. i am talking about performance wise, things like doing drag and drop and ect...
View 1 RepliesI have 2 controllers on my stage, one behaves like an analog controller (A) for left/right up/down etc, controlled with a TouchEvent. The firing controller (B) is bound to another TouchEvent.problem is TouchEvent seems to be much slower than using say MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN for controller (B) which results in a much faster firing mechanism. If I am using TouchEvent to control (A), and MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN on controller (B), (B) will not fire unless I release (A) meaning I cannot move and shoot at the same time which is frustrating, but I can use a MouseEvent for controller (A) and a TouchEvent for controller (B). how I can stop the conflict?
View 1 RepliesI create my sprite and eventlistener like this:
public function init():void
{
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
mySprite.graphics.beginFill(0x336699);
mySprite.graphics.drawRect(100,100,150,50);
addChild(mySprite
[Code]...
But how would I and a image to the sprite so the TouchEvent responds to touching the image?
I've written code that enables DisplayObjects to be fully manipulated under two touch points (drag, scale, rotate). The problem I'm having is that as the DisplayObject is being manipulated, it causes fluctuations in the TouchEvent's stageX & stageY properties. These fluctuations are feeding back into the tranformation code and as a result, the object shakes/shivers.
It seems that the stageX & stageY properties are being calculated from the localX & localY properties of the TouchEvent. I've tried adding listening to the stage itself for the TouchMove event, but as soon as I drag my finger over a transformed object, the traced stageX & stageY values change slightly, going from integers to floating-point numbers. This is evidently what's causing the shakey feedback loop.
test touchEvent on Adobe Device Cental, google it can't find any information. I know you can do multi touch, but single Touch doesn't seem to work.

The problem is I get a "null" on trace.
I am trying to write a class file using a .as file instead of writing code into the script tab of a .fla file.When I write stage.addChild(img); I get an error that stage is null. When I take out stage, and just write addChild(img); the code runs fine, but nothing appears on stage. Do I need to do something to set a stage active?
Is this because I don't have a Main class? My class is named after the file and I don't have a file named Main.Here is the code. As it is, it runs and I get the two trace outputs, but no graphic on my screen.
package { import flash.display.DisplayObject; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; public class HelloWorldImage extends Sprite { private var background:DisplayObject, foreground:DisplayObject; private var url:String = "hw_jpg.jpg"; private var loader:Loader = new Loader( ); public function

i) Create a symbol called SimpleSquare. This should consist of a simple red square graphic
ii) Create a class file to define a class called SimpleSquare. This should be linked to the SimpleSquare symbol. SimpleSquare ashould have the following functionality: When the instance is placed on the Stage, it should start to disappear by decreasing its alpha at 0.01 in every frame (hint: alpha)
I found myself loading a new XML file every day and so decided to create a small class that will load the xml file and return it.The class is loading the file but when i try to return it to a new xml object in the document class it doesnt load it.I think that it's something to with the return being in a nested function but i tried a few ways and non seems to work.

I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I need to call the class into to my control as file. The problem I'm getting now is this error. "environmentTab.lightsButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectLights);" environmentTab is a instance name of a movie clip that is on the stage of my .

View 3 RepliesI have been practicing and trying to understand how classes work and I was wondering if it is possible to create a class that can be reused by declearing the class only once in my fla file. Rightnow I create an instance of the class than I asign it to a MovieClip the problem is that I can only use it once and if I want to use it again I have to create another instance of the same class, something like this.

I have created an AS3 class file which loads inside a flash file(the flash file is empty, just holds the class).

I'm just getting into flash and i would like to know how you run more than one as3 file from the main .fla file?
Is it possible to use more than one document class file?
I downloaded a sample flash that contains a class file.When try to run the file get the "1172: Definition be.nascom.flash.graphics:Rippler could not be found." error. Rippler is the name of the file and I think be.nascom.flash.graphics is the authors directory structure. I think the error is because the file is not in the right location that Flash is expecting it to be in to find it.
View 7 RepliesI've made two classes, Office.as (main class) and Table.as, that when used allows the user to move the mouse over a symbol, and receive information shown in a TextField on four different MouseEvent's. This setup works well, but I would like to extract the the text function (named TableText) out of the Office.as file, and make it into its own class file. I have done that as TableTextField.as, but I don't know how to implement it, so the Table.as file can use it (as is does now through Office.as)
