ActionScript 3.0 :: Unable To Access Parent Constants Through Subclass?
Jul 20, 2009
I've defined two classes, one of which extends the other. The superclass defines a constant and I can't seem to access it through the subclass.
Code:
public class BigClass
{
public static const BIG_CLASS_CONSTANT:String = "Hi Mom.";
[Code]....
Shouldn't polymorphism allow a subclass to access constants of the classes they extend? Does the subclass have to reference the parent constant in some other way than a simple extension? Do I actually have to declare that constant in each and every class that decided to extend from that parent (but then how would the parent refer to it?)? Or (and this is the most likely) is there something completely different that I'm missing?

I am calling on different types classes from within a loop. The objects can be of different types so therefore I am using the getDefinitionByName method. here is a piece of my code:
for(var y = 0; y < mapH; y++)
{
brickHolder[y] = new Array();
[Code]....
But I got an error when I tried to call on methods. The interface is blank; doesn't have any methods in it. I am not sure if that makes a difference. But the parent class inherits it and the subclasses inherit the parent class. Can I instead use the parent class?
var brick:ParentBrick2 = ParentBrick2(new classRef());
In a nutshell, what can I do to loosely cast these objects so I am able to use any subclass methods that get called?

Basically, what I want is to have a class that:
- extends Proxy.
- implements IEventDispatcher.
- has property "addEventListener" (it will also have this method).
or at least will trigger getProperty as a fallback when somebody tries to improperly access addEventListener...

Is there a way to tell flash to instantiate a Stage subclass called "TheStage" instead of the default Stage class as root/parent of my document class?
public class TheStage extends Stage{
//code
}
Then when I do "DisplayObject.stage" I want it to return the instance of TheStage instead of the default Stage insteance. I want to do this so that I can override the addEventListener method of the Stage class. So if I call DisplayObject.stage.addEventListener I can execute my own code routine. Is that possible and how?

I am writing a program in OOP and I have a custom subclass which I make a new instance of in the document class. When I do make a new instance of this custom class, I want this (the custom subclass is a movieclip) object to be positioned at the center of the stage. However, when I try
ActionScript Code:
this.x = (this.parent.width-this.width)/2;
flash outputs an error saying '1119: Access of possibly undefined property parent through a reference with static type'
How do I access the parent property?

I am new to AS3 and am working on a project where I got stuck trying to figure out the best way to access a variable set in my MainDoc from a subclass. Nothing I've read has either made sense or seems like best practices. I understand a little about encapsulation to know that a subclass shouldn't be able to listen to a parent, but there has to be a way to do this with OOP in mind.[code]...

I am trying to figure out how to get access to a display object that was created in one subclass from a different subclass. Here�s my example: I created PnkRabbit.as and BluRabbit.as as separate classes (both extending RabbitTemplate.as).
I called them from Client.as (document class for Rabbits.fla) using an addRabbits button. Then I created MovePinkRabbit.as and MoveBlueRabbit.as (both extending Move.as which is listed as a protected var in RabbitTemplate.as). With this setup I can run Rabbits.fla and get a trace statement to come from MovePinkRabbit.as and/or MoveBlueRabbit.as, but I can�t figure out how to get access to the PinkRabbit and BlueRabbit movie clips from MovePinkRabbit.as and MoveBlueRabbit.as, so that I can actually move the clips. Here�s some of the code, (complete code and FLA in zip file).
Client.as
Code:
package
{

I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

So I am trying to access a variable that is defined within my parent code from a class which has been called from my parent code. I am using this:Code:TileCode(parent).game_quests.add_quest(0);to try to access the game_quests variable (which is defined within TileCode). However, for some reason it is not picking that up. It is working for other variables which I have called and ran in a similar fashion

I have an swf file, MyRoundButtons, which is a set of radio buttons I built (not components). It works fine, but if I import it into a parent it won't work anymore. I have to write a script to load it into a movieclip, (which I hate, because I'll have a several different swfs to assemble on my final stage. I really want to see them all on the stage together, not just at runtime.)
Even when I load it into a clip and the buttons work, however, it doesn't seem to have a separate timeline when double-clicked ,and:I can't make the imported buttons control the timeline of the parent.I defined a test function:
Code: Select allfunction goToNirvana() {gotoAndPlay("nirvana")};
Frame "nirvana," in th parent, has a Trace instruction in it.
goToNirvana works on its own in the parent. [code].....
Whether I define that function in the child, the parent, or both, the instruction won't work. Now, I'd prefer not to do the loadMovie thing at all if I can avoid it, I'd rather have fully rendered button clips onstage at authoring for me to arrange and move about, with fully independent timelines right there. But you see what I'm trying to do. I just can't get it done.

I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
What about AS3 classes am I misunderstanding?

I'm completly dumbfounded here, I even copied one of my previous projects and it still doesn't work... driving me up the wall.I can't access the button from the stage though my sub object class within the document class. Instances are set right, works when it's actually on the document class. I've passed a reference to the stage as well.I've been looking for hours on the net and can't find anything.

I am unable to access my MovieClip.1119: Access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Class.So basically, I want my newly made counter to subtract 1 point from my carriedItem when pressing SPACE. This should only function, when my char_mc is at a specific frame, as well as when the Deployable(xx)_mc is at a current frame. I made the adding work, but working with my Deployable(xx)_mc is giving me some headache.[code]

I'm looking at the XML class. I would like to be able to access elements by name and the order they came in.
For example, if an xml document is structured like this:
<a>
<b>info</b>
<d>something</d>
<b>more info</b>
</a>
[Code]...
xml_object.childNodes.length will return the number of childnodes there are. But I don't see a way to get at the number of childnodes of a particular type. This will not tell me, for example, how many childnodes of type "b" that "a" has. I can't see Flash XML support being this sparse. Is there a built-in way of accessing the nth child of a node of a particular element name or am I stuck with accessing it only by number.
