ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Can't Classes Access Objects On Stage

Jul 22, 2009

Im trying to get used to packages and classes in AS3. Im used to put all code on the first frame of the timeline, but now i have 442 lines of code on the first frame. Yeah 442. And this is for a game engine so i thought i should put it inside some classes to make it easier to read an reusable. But i have noticed that if i create a class called Code and make a instance of that class like this:[AS]var codeObject:Code = new Code();[/AS]i get a bunch of errors because the class cant Acess the stage and the display list.i found a workaround by linking the class to a movieClip and and do this:[AS]MovieClip(parent);[/AS?

Actionscript 3 :: - Access Objects Instantiated In Flex App's MXML File In Other Classes

Jul 29, 2011

I've got an object declared and instantiated in my Flex application's singular MXML file: public var CDN:CDNClass = new CDNClass; I would like to access this same CDN object (and its public methods and properties) in another class declared in a separate .as file as such:

[Code]...

But when I try to access the public method parsePlayList in the CDN object in a method in the class defined in the .as file, I get the following error: Access of undefined property CDN The reason I want to do this is to break up the logic of my application into multiple AS files and have minimal MXML files, probably only one.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access To Objects On Stage?

Mar 3, 2010

I'm having an issue accessing items on the stage from some imported code. I found this topic that discusses the same issue... [URL]
 
I'm not sure I totally understand how to go about this. I don't understand how to make the object global so I can access it from any class. (I have the same problem with an array I'm working with).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access Objects On Stage

Jul 31, 2011

I have a MovieClip MainGame that is associated with my external AS File where all the code lies. Everything works really well but.. I place an object inside the MainGame movieclip and give it an instance name . Now when I try to access it from the .as it says "Access of undefined property xy.."

I tried it with textboxes and movieclips, all the same.. I know it worked 20 times exactly like this and I have even compared an older Game where I accessed it just like this.... I really don't know what Flash is playing on me..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Stage Objects From Class

Feb 24, 2010

I'm trying to access a MovieClip created within the authoring tool from an ActionScript class. Here is my code:

PHP Code:

package {
import flash.display.*;
public class MoreVideos extends Sprite {

[Code].....

I also tried changing that to [stage.moreVideosBox.visible = false;], but I then got "1119: Access of possibly undefined property moreVideosBox through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage."

Is it possible to directly alter items in the authoring tool from a class? If I move 'moreVideosBox.visible = false;' outside of the class, in the main .as file, it works fine.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Objects From Other Classes?

Jan 7, 2012

I want to access an object from a class in which it was not created in. I have a main class (A) in which I create and instantiate an object (of class B), from this class I can obviously do whatever I want with the object, no problem. The issue I'm having is another class (C) needs to access the object in question to change its x and y location values. Class C doesn't know what the instance of class B, created in class A, is; this doesn't surprise me, but I can't figure out how to allow class C to get access to what class A created.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Objects From Other Objects?

I have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.

ActionScript :: Flex : Mapping Objects To Classes?

Jun 16, 2009

If I've got a bunch of plain old Objects, what's the best way to map them to a bunch of Classes?For example, if I use an HTTPService to pull in some JSON, then deserialize it, I'll have a bunch of objects which look like:

{ type: "person",
id: 42,
name: "David" }

And I want to turn them into instances of a Person class:

class Person {
id:int;
name:String;
}

(also to be considered: how about some standard way of dealing with relationships between objects? For example, if the Person had an additional "spouse" field:

{ type: "person", spouse: 61, ... } // Where 61 is the ID of the spouse
)

Flash :: Passing Data Between Objects/classes?

Dec 27, 2010

So i a building a categorized menu of different foods. I have a class for "categories" (buttons) which essentially will return a string "salads", "drinks", etc. I now have another class "menuItems" for items within categories and this handles sizes such as "small", "med", "large", etc. My problem now is that when i return "salads", i want to invoke an array which contains all the elements of salads, send it to menuItems which will populate the menu. So far i have both the category objects and the menu object setup. I just cant seem to be able to send the data that the category object is returning and pass it to the menu object. Both of which are added to the stage as shown below:

If there was a way that i could say add all these classes to one class so that they can talk to each other that would be great but i dont know how to do this.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Objects With Linked Classes?

Sep 15, 2010

So I have a menu built inside of Flash CS4 that has a graphic for a background and five text fields that sit on it for menu options. The whole thing is saved as a movie clip in the library. The text fields all have instance names like infoBtn and mapBtn etc. and the menu is already on the stage and linked to it's own class in the library. My problem is accessing those text fields on the menu from the class. I keep getting "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." and the menu doesn't work. But if I trace the infoBtn.text in the class it outputs the text that is in the text field. So the code is accessing it but it's still not working?

Code:
package classes
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referring To Library Objects Via Classes?

Feb 26, 2007

I've been heavily mired in 3D recently, and decided to pay a visit back to good ole Flash.

My problem is this. I'm extending the MovieClipLoader class to create a Preloader Class (yes I'm sure it's been done fifty billion times but). I'm trying to refer to a symbol in a common library, the preloader symbol itself.

Inside my class I have this

Code:
function onLoadStart(target){
baseClip.attachMovie("preloaderTemplate_mc", "preloader_mc", 500, {_x:0, _y:20, _xscale:75, _yscale:75});
baseClip.preloader_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

baseClip is a MovieClip object which takes a MovieClip passed to the constructor of the class in the FLA. (say a container movieclip which has a target clip preloaded into it) The class does load the target clip into the baseClip, but doesn't show the preloader, which makes me think I'm not referring to it properly.

Flex :: Storing Instances Of Classes In Shared Objects

May 26, 2010

Is it possible to store instances of a class in a cookie or in shared objects.

Basically in my application I have an object "Diagram" that the user can create. If they hit save, I want to store the current instance as a cookie and allows them to reload it later.

Alternatively, I could see about getting them to store the saved version on the hard disk. But even then, all I want to save and retreive is my actionscript object.

I've tried storing the object to SharedObject.data.diag, but when I try to retrieve the object from the cookie doing SharedObject.data.diag as Diag returns null.
