Actionscript 3 :: Overriding Function From Another Class?
Apr 4, 2012I am defining this function in one of my classes:public function onUse():void {};Then in another of my classes (let's call it "class2"), I create a object of this class, and then want to override this function with another one. After some Google-Fu, I have found this, and used it...

Actionscript :: Overriding A Protected Function In A Subclass?
Sep 26, 2011I'm overriding a protected function in a subclass.Let's say I have two classes, Apple and Fruit. I have all variables in place, this is just a simplified version.
[Code]...
Example is trivial. The problem is that the type of the getRandom function depends on its own type. One returns an apple, the other returns a fruit.Of course I get errors about override and coercion.
I've tried returning a Fruit instead of an Apple, but then the object is not an apple, therefore it has no Apple-specific properties.The problem is in ducktyping. There's a third class I cannot change, that executes the getRandom() function on each object, and I need the Apples to be something slightly different.
How can I override the getRandom function in Apple, so that it returns apples, rather than fruit?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Subclass, Overriding A Function Not Marked For Override?
Nov 9, 2011I have a .fla and one.as(DisablingButtons.as).The .fla currently has only one key frame and three movie clips.First movie clip has base class flash.display.MovieClip and class DisablingButtons.as.The other two movie clips have base class DisablingButtons and their own classes (set by flash on export). The movie clips have identical timelines, 20 frames, two motion tweens, and the only action is stop();on frames 1,5,10,15. I get two errors:5000: The class 'DisablingButtons' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip'and 4 copies of 1024: Overriding a function that is not marked for override (on frames 1,5,10,15 of movie clip #2)
I am importing flash.display.MovieClip and have public class DisablingButtons extends MovieClip.Code below...[code]..........
ActionScript :: Overriding Function That Has Optional Parameter In Flex
Jan 18, 2010I'm using FlashBuilder 4 beta2. My base class has a function foo():
protected function foo(s:String, z:String=null): void{}
Literally "foo" so that there's no chance I'm stepping on a built-in method. I am getting an
"Incompatible override" error when attempting to override the method in a subclass:
override protected function foo(s:String, z:String=null): void{}
Does the optional parameter do something "behind the scenes" that makes it illegal to override the method?
Actionscript 3 :: 1024 Overriding A Function That Is Not Marked For Override?

View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Error: 1024: Overriding A Function That Is Not Marked For Override?
Sep 1, 2011I'm trying to override dispatchEvent(), with no success in the Flash IDE. Reviewing Adobe docs on the method, it should simply be:
override function name()
As demonstrated by Grant Skinner, this is commonly and easily performed:
override public function dispatchEvent(evt:Event):Boolean {
// code here
}
And while a thorough google search will repeat this syntax successfully used in Class files, doing so inside timeline code, natively in the Flash IDE is proving impossible. The first issue being that the use of public throws the error 1114: The public attribute can only be used inside a package.That was obvious, however upon removing that, running the following (on the first frame of a new .fla file):
override function dispatchEvent(evt:Event):Boolean {
trace(evt.type);
return super.dispatchEvent(evt);[code]..........
results in this error: 1024: Overriding a function that is not marked for override.
Documentation on this error implies that I failed to prefix the identically named function with the override statement, but obviously that's a fallacy, and I'm left flabbergasted as to what the solution may be.
To be clear, we know a class file will work, but that's an irrelavant issue. How do we get override function dispatchEvent() working in timeline code?

Actionscript 3 :: Overriding A Public Variable With Set?
Oct 17, 2011I have a base class like this
class Base {
public var space:Number;
}
which gets extended by
class Desc extends Base {

This doesn't compile. Say, you don't have control of the base class, what ways is there implement the same thing? The obvious is create a function setSpace(), but this object is being embedded in an already existing system that use the public space.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Overriding A CreateLabel Method?
Sep 9, 2009I would like to create many different labels which have identical properties but which have a different position and a different name. I created a main class called DefaultLabel which defines the format of a standard label and then I created a seperate class called Label which overrides the createLabel method with a different position and a different label text.
Ever since I added the Label class, my original label doesnt appear anymore and I receive error msgs (1119) stating that my formating properties (text, color, etc) are not defined and that they reference to a static type Label. Unfortunately I do not have Flash installed in English so I cant give you the original msg. Everything worked fine when I just created one standard label so I guess I made a mistake with overriding...
The various labels should be created in this class:
PHP Code:
package {
public class Label extends DefaultLabel
{
private var myLabel1 : Label = new Label();

Jun 3, 2009super.zValue(n) should be super.zValue = n ........ wowy Nothing to see here folks, just keep moving on I'm having some difficulties in working with the as3 way of overriding methods.. specifically setters. I'm a recent convert from working with as2 for a few years, so some of these quirks are beyond me right now.Here are my two classes:class tempBase in package core
Code:
package core
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class tempBase extends MovieClip
[code]....
I do not have any errors for the override of baseFunction, but on compile I get the error 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method zValue through a reference with static type core:tempBase.In as2, this would have been perfectly acceptable (even without the override function), and was incredibly useful in creating my class structures.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Swf Overriding Size Of Html?
Aug 15, 2010I recently started on a new portfolio site and can't seem to figure out why some of my swfs override the html pixel size. I have included a link to the page. When you click on 'portfolio' there should be three thumbnails on the right. When you click on one of the thumbnails you'll see the size shift.
upload the xml files as well.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Overriding The Width Getter On A DisplayObject
Dec 7, 2009I frequently find myself wanting more granular control of the width/height properties. Consider either of the following cases:
- The DisplayObject is clipped with DisplayObject.mask, but Flash reports unmasked width.
- An image is displayed with a transform cage drawn over it. The width of the cage shouldn't be calculated when determining the DisplayObject's width.
The naive way to solve this problem is to override the width getter of the DisplayObject in question. The problem is that the core implementation of DisplayObject.width is written in native code. If after overriding the width getter, I call overridenObject.width, I get what I want; however, if I call overriddenObject.parent.width, DisplayObject.width ignores my override and calculates the dimensions based on its own internal display list representation.
Does anyone know of a technique to limit which children are considered when calculating width without having to override every parent's width getter? I've tried overriding width, getRect, getBounds, and scrollRect, but none of them seem to be referenced by DisplayObject.width's native implementation.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Overriding Actions In Child Timeline?
Feb 25, 2010I'm an animator trying to use actionscript along with timeline animation.The setup is flock>fly>wings flock movieclip 30f long, the script looping, starting multiple fly movieclips at different points.
fly movieclip 30f long, controls wings0 movieclip timeline (3 frames, each with a movieclip). Frame1: wings0.gotoAndStop(2) Frame24: wings0.gotoAndStop(1) Frame48: wings0.gotoAndStop(3)
From flock timeline I'm trying to override actions in fly3. to call a different wings0 animation.
flock Frame1: var loop:Number = 0; fly1.gotoAndPlay(15); fly2.gotoAndPlay(8); fly3.gotoAndPlay(20); if(fly3.currentFrame==24){ fly3.wings0.gotoAndStop(3); }
flock Frame 30:
loop = loop + 1;if (loop > 0) {this.gotoAndPlay(2);} else {this.stop();}
But the animation of fly3 doesn't change.

Jul 4, 2010I have a class (Wall) that inherits from Sprite.Sprite already has width and height properties. But for wall, I need to do some other additional calculations when the properties change (f.e. make sure the new size won't cause it to overlap any other walls).So, how do I set the width property inherited from the Sprite class from within the width setter of the Wall? (or perhaps there is an alternative way to do my bounds checking whenever width is set?)[code]
View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Overriding Method Without Matching Signature?
Oct 8, 2010when extending a class, is it impossible to override a method without also matching the parameters?for example, i'd like to use the method's name, in this case it's a socket extension and the method i want to override is connect. however, i want to request additional parameters that the stock connect function does not request.
is the only alternative to create my own connect-like method with my own parameters, call super.connect from this function and override the stock connect function to throw an error if it's called?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Overriding Or Listening For Trace Calls?
Sep 24, 2009I have been using console.log external calls in my code to make debugging easier in the browser but I have found that when i pass the code on to someone else they are always asking why I am using an "alert" method instead of trace and as they edit the piece they naturally will use trace calls and I was wondering if either of the following is possible?
1. Is there a way to override the trace method? When I try with the following code I get an error: 1020 Method marked override must override another method.
ActionScript Code:
public override function trace(arguments:restParam):void{
}
2. If I can't override trace, does it dispatch some event that I don't know about that I can listen for? (normally I would try to figure this out using asdocs but whenever i try to visit the "trace" documentation I just get a page cannot be displayed error :S
Actionscript 3 :: Overriding Flash.display.Sprite's EventDispatcher?
Feb 27, 2010I want to override the dispatchEvent method while inheriting from flash.display.Sprite.

Actionscript :: Overriding Methods In Extended Interfaces Vs Java?
Oct 20, 2011I am much more familiar with Java's semantics of class and interface than with Actionscript semantics, but I have an example of some code that works in Java and doesn't work in Actionscript. This descrepency is a serious problem in that I am trying to code generate my Actionscript value objects from the Java DTOs and unless the semantics are the same, I am in deep trouble.
Here's the code that works in Java and fails to compile in Actionscript:
[Code]...
I don't understand why class B throws a compile error about an incompatible signature for "makeCopy" when clearly interface B extends interface A...thus there is no violation of type or incompatibility. If this is just an Actionscript limitation, can anyone suggest a way to recode?
NOTE: I already tried changing interface B to this and it threw an error in interface B (which work in Java):public interface Ib extends Ia {function makeCopy():Ib;}
