I have a class called (DropDown.as)In that class I haveCode:public static const DROPDOWN_CHANGE:String = "Drop Down Changed";In my document class (Main.as) I instantiate my class and try and trace my public static constant but it outputs undefined:
Code:
var dropDown_mc:DropDown = new DropDown();
trace("Public Static Constant" + " " + dropDown_mc.DROPDOWN_CHANGE);
[code]....
how bad is this practice? I am having trouble getting to some stuff so i am taking the easy way out
Code:
private static var _interrupted:Boolean;
public static function setInterrupted(value:Boolean):void{
_interrupted = value;
}
is it better to use public variables or public static variables?

maybe this is something small I'm overlooking, but I can't figure out how to pull this offI have an XML file that keeps data on my tilesheets. Currently it keeps info on the width and height of the tiles (works fine), but I also want to tell my program what part of ananimation it belongs to. I have a class set up that keeps some constants on the state of the object, that will decide it's animation. For example, if the state equals"PlatformState.WALKING", I alternate between tiles 1, 2 and 3, if the state is"PlatformState.FALLING", It alternates between 4 and 5.The static constant PlatformState.WALKING is a uint with value 0, FALLING has value 1, etc. But I don't want to put the rough values in the XML, but the constant names.
View 2 RepliesI'm setting up a class of public static vars that are to be BitmapData.
The problem I'm having is I can't seem to reference the vars dynamically in an array, making it impossible to give them values without some serious procdedural style coding.
This is what it looks like
package com.myPackage{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

Should I assume it's because my array is a private var and placing references to public static vars is illegal? Is somebody gonna call the flash police on me?

View 1 RepliesIm just starting to get my hands into Action Script v2, and Im having a really hard time working out what the difference is between Public, Private and Static Variables, it seems that declaring variables in these types makes no difference what so ever to the avaliablility of my variables...

i know i can use ...args but i actually wanting to supply the constructor with 2 separate arrays as option arguments.
I have a question about classes. I just learn that static means that functions and/or properties are specifics to a class, but is it a synonym of private? And why statics (not available to any instances?) properties and/or methods can have a public (available anywhere else (timeline)) access modifier? PS: I just start with classes.

I have a class like this..
public class Doc {

How can I know if the value held by myVar is default false, or someone has assigned false to it? Isn't there an undefined state? How can I achieve such a thing?

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).
I'm tryng to make a public static method call another method, but Flash throws error 1180, sayng that the method called by the static method is undefined.

Is there an easy way to validate that the type passed to the Constructor is one of the Static Constants of the Class, without having to check it against each value?
I'm trying to change a static variable in the class's constructor. At the start I have:
public static var mainReference:Main;
public static var timerReference:Timer;
public var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
This is so my static functions can access main and timer. At Main's constructor I have:
mainReference = this;
timerReference = timer;
The problem is, the first gives no error when I compile it, but the second tells me Access of undefined property (timerReference).
I have been away from actionscript for a long time and not 100% why this is happening, I will simplify the class below[code]...
call to a possibly undefined method through a refernce with a static type?
I have a set of classes that I've been using in one Flex program (Classroom). I just created new project and referenced the source path of the first program's com directory in its build path.
When I do an import, import com.cade.comm.CADEports;, everything looks good. When I use a variable in the code, CADEports.gotComm = true;, it still looks good. However, when I try to run it, I get an 1120 error that says "access of undefinded property...".
In the main program:
Flex Build Path -> Source path = ${DOCUMENTS}/Classroom/src/com
import com.cade.comm.CADEports;
...
CADEports.gotComm = true; // compile error here although when you type CADEports. it shows the gotComm variable!
[Code].....
Why does this work in the original program but not the second?
I get this error 1120: Access of undefined property OtherClass.
Ths is the code:
Code:

var i:int = OtherClass.myVar;
trace(i);
}}
Code:
public class OtherClass {
public static var myVar:int = 2;
public function OtherClass():void {
}}
