I'm trying to access a button through my subClass, the button I'm trying to access is located on timeline and this is the error I'm getting once I run the code:1120: Access of undefined property btn_Test., maybe someone could look at the following code and indicate what cause the error

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]...
View 1 RepliesI 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 want to access a variable from subclass which is in a parent class.Something like this:
class a extends b
{
private var a;
public function a()
[code]....
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?
Can I access a static variable of a subClass' subClass? I don't want to instantiate it, just looking to get the variable because it has already been initialized by the subClass.example:
package
{
public class A extends MovieClip {
private var classB:B = new B();
[code]....
i have a little issue, this is the script:
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, action);
function action(e:MouseEvent):void
{ var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("novosti.php");
navigateToURL( request, "_self");
}
button is instance name of symbol - button, and like that script doesnot work there is error 1009:cannot access.....but when i put symbol with instance name button in form of movie clip, script works.
I have a document class and a subclass. In the subclass I have a trace. I've done this dozens of times before.I've checked everything and I'm stumped. I can't for the life of me figure out why it's not running a trace.
I checked AS3 settings like usual. The FLA finds the document class but I can't get the subclass to show up.[code]...
I create a Sprite in a subclass, add it to the stage. Now I need to target it from another class, but I am going wrong somewhere. This is shorten code, so hope I did not delete some important parts. But you should be able to follow the basic structure.
Main class:
package myClasses
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;

I am building a app that pulls data from xml. The different nodes in the xml needs to build different objects. My thinking was that I must import the xml only once. Then build seperate classes for each object type. These classes will extends the xml class and apply whatever it needs to do with specific nodes data. Problem is that it seems like the subclass is created before the xml loaded. I can trace the xml data from the xml superclass but not from the subclass.

package MyClasses{ import flash.display.Sprite; import MyClasses.Dateline; public class Main extends Spriteprivate var dateLine; public function Main() dateLine==new(Dateline);}}

How do you subclass multiple classes. I have a class that subclasses MovieClip. I added a new feature. Now its yelling that my class needs to subclass SimpleButton. I know there both part of the display class. But how do you subclass that?
View 1 RepliesI'm running into the situation where I can't instance a SubClass in the above SuperClass because the SubClass is extending from the SuperClass.
I get stack overflow. Fair enough, right?
Well, I want to add this SubClass to the display, and the only way I know how to do that is through addChild(). To addChild() I need to instance the SubClass.
I can't put any visual display instance or events in this subclass because it's currently null and extends is keeping me from doing so. It's great cuz I can share all the goods, but now I'm stuck dancing inside functions because I can't use events on the main "timeline" of the null SubClass.
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?
I want to subclass "superClass" and override one of it's functions.
[Code].....
The problem is that the "superClass" is loaded from a swf. I do not have a reference to the class definition in my project. Is there a way to do something like below?
[Code].....
I have my main.swf which has class of Main.as which control everything.Then in main.swf I have 3 movieclips that acts as a button and they share a class of Button.as which controsl all the button functions btn1, btn2,bt3 are all place on stage and in Main.as I control their positions.When you click on a btn, it moves to a new location at the same time the other 2 btns will move as well.I can get the target btn that's been click to move just fine, but I can't get the other 2 btns to move and they all share the same class. I know this probably has to do with a targetting issue... I think. Is there a way I can make the connection in same Button.as class file? Or do I use like some global event dispatch?

View 5 RepliesSo I am trying to create a document class for my program, and I know all the code is correct because I already have the program working.I am currently trying to rebuild the program, and I simply copy and pasted all the working code into my new program.I have 2 document classes, and when I run the program i get an error, and I don't know how to fix it. It says "The class 'ball' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type."I don't understand why it isn't working now, is there some setting that I need to turn on to get it to work? I do have the line of code: import flash.display.MovieClip;
View 3 Replies1: Is there a way to set superclass variables from within a subclass? I can't seem to accomplish it.
2: Also, why does it seem when I call a function, the superclass version is called instead of the sub? I construct the class using the sub, so whats the matter?
3: In one of the classes, I want to push a MovieClip it creates into an array, it works, but I get an undefined, then the value.
4: I have 3 levels of inheritance in my classes Specials -> Human -> Player, who do i call each one correctly from one another?
super.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.
I've made a movie clip with buttons in it called 'myContent'. I want each button to reference a different video in the video player on the main stage. This movie clip is linked to a scrollpane, since there is not enough real-estate. I right clicked on the myContent movie clip in the library and chose 'export for actionscript' under properties.
[code]...
to get the scroll bar to work. When I add the script in the myContent movie clip to reference the different videos I get a few errors: 1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition flash.displayisplayObject.name in namespace public.5000: The class 'fl.controls.ScrollBar' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type. It seems I must tell the scroll bar to look in a subclass?When I get rid of the script telling it to load the videos, the scroll bar works and I get no errors, but when I put in the script to load the videos, its a major malfunction.

I'm playing around with some classes from my Learning AS 3.0 book in an attempt to understand them. I have a main (document) class, and a class called NavigationBarXML.
Because the buttons for the nav bar are all set up in the subclass NavigationBarXML, I would like to position the nav bar relative to the stage (think btn1.x = stage.stagewidth - 50) from within this class. I understand that you cannot deal directly with the stage from a subclass and that you must add it to the display list before you can reference the stage from within this class.
How would I set up the main class so that I can reference the stage from my subclass so that on browser resize, my nav bar is positioned relative to the stage?

In my flash document, I have a movieclip drawn on the flash stage (put there myself, not dynamically). I want to use this as a holder for an external .swf. I am using a sub-class to run the loading script. I pass the stage reference to it as the variable "theStage". It has no trouble loading things directly to the stage, but it can't find my movieclip for some reason. I have exported the movieclip for actionscript in the symbol properties panel and have given it an instance name.I've tried theStage.myMovieClip.addChild(mySwf); and suchlike, but always get this error message in output:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property myMovieClip not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value.at MethodInfo-206()Some more information: It works from the main class without any trouble.
View 1 RepliesI have a Hero class that extends a Unit class that extends a SelectableObject class.[code]I have a movieclip in the library that links to the Hero. Inside the movieclip is another movieclip with the instance name "selector".In the Hero I can use selector.gotoAndStop (n) because the movieclip is linked to that class, but I can't do that for the SelectableObject because it's not linked to that.Is there a way to make selector.gotoAndStop (n) work for the SelectableObject? I can't even do var something:* = this.selector because the movieclip isn't linked to it.Or should I just remove the instance name for the selector in the movieclip so I can declare var selector:* = this.getChildAt (1) in the SelectableObject (the selector being the second child)?
View 3 RepliesI'm building a portfolio site for myself. When I load the Thumbnails class directly into the FLA, it works flawlessly. But when I load it into another class as an instance or through extends, nothing shows up. could post the code but there's a lot of it. There must be a very common explanation for this sort of no-show problem, right?this.addChild(thumb);for every dynamic instance loaded and it pulls a trace, but doesn't appear.

View 1 RepliesIs 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?
What I would like to do is to call a method from a superclass in a subclass. Specifically I want to be able to add the subclass as a child of the superclass but without physically having to type addChild in the superclass (but I will have to type it in the subclass). For now I'm just trying to call a method in the superclass that draws some text from a subclass.
Here is the MAIN class (the superclass)
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code].....
The code doesn't compile, I get "Call to a possibly undefined method DRAWTEXT through a reference with a static type class".
I realize there are otherways to display text on the screen. I just need to learn how to call superclass methods.
