ActionScript 3.0 :: Access A Method Inside The Object's Class?
Apr 9, 2010
I created an array of objects and put an event listener on each of them. My problem is that when the object is clicked, I want to access a method inside the object's class but I do not know how to reference its position in the array. This isn't very clear but hopefully my code will make it clearer.
This line is inside while loops and puts an event listener on every square.
[Code].....
How can I know which square has been clicked?
Note: e.target returns the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property placeChar not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value.

I have a simple quesiton about class, method and functions inside a method and class properties. I created a new class form my custom component.. But upon developing it I found out that you can not access a property inside the function which is also inside a method..
Example
Code:
class myClass{
private var myProperty:Number = 1; //default is 1
//constructor
public function myClass(){
}//Method
[Code] .....
What I want to do is to access the property inside the method.. I also have a work-around still i cannot point a certain variable to a property of my class inside the method's function..

I have a movie clip symbol placed on the main timeline. The class linkage to that movie clip is Sheet. Inside Sheet class, I make a public string call _textRow. Inside the Sheet's constructor, I create a new TextField call values_txt. Inside the Sheet class again, I create a public function call updateTable().
The document class is Main. From the Main.as, I need to call updateTable() function to update the text inside values_txt. And I need to find a way to get to values_txt. That's where my problem lies.
Actionscript Code:
package{//imported stuff herepublic class Sheet extends MovieClip{public var _textRow:String = " Lorem
Lorem again";public function Sheet(){addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initSheet);}public function
[Code]....
Basically, I need to run Sheet's updateTable() from Main.as and update the values_txt.text with _textRow string. But I don't know value_txt's target path.

I have written a framework that facilitates RPC calls between AS3 and PHP 5 called FlashMOG. I recently got a forum request that has introduced a pretty bizarre question regarding access control. This will be a lot easier to discuss if you have access to the FlashMOG 0.3.1 client source which is here:
[code]...
The basic idea is that I have a FlashMOGService class which has an RPCSocket member that it may share with other FlashMOGService objects. The idea is that you can create two distinct FlashMOGService objects and have them both connect to the same host/port via socket. I use my special RPCSocket class for two reasons:
1) Let developers use one port but separate functionality into two distinct services...a form of multiplexing i guess
2) RPCSocket adds functionality to the standard Socket class that works to serialize and unserialize data and get it where it needs to go. The essence of the problem here is that created a class with a FlashMOGService object as a member and has tried to assign a private method of his class as an event handler to the FlashMOGService object:
[Code]....
My initial thought is that this should be fine because it's all done within the class. However, when I consider the monkey chain that results in this function being called, it seems almost logical that it wouldn't work. The problem is that the browser freezes when a socket message arrives that tries to call the service's client method, _service.client.firstClientMethod. This client firstClientMethod is attempted when data arrives from the server on the Socket (an RPCSocket, actually). The RPCSocket class deserializes the socket data and extracts an array with a service name, a method name, and an array of arguments. It looks into its own private class variable (an array of services using the RPCSocket) and tries to invoke whatever function was assigned thusly:
[Code]....
I'm guessing there's some kind of infinite loop going on to check access control for the various intertwined classes.

I am developing an application with Flex for the GUI and Restlet for the webservices. I have a strange problem. I put my XML as a property on a generic object, and send it as part of a POST request. But in the Restlet webservice, this XML is irretrievable. How do I retrieve it? I tried initialising the received Representation object to a DomRepresentation, but thats not working. If I put the received Representation object into a Form object, then getFirstValue is returning that XML as a string! I noticed that the contentType of the HTTPService was application/www-form-encoded so I set it to application/xml and its not helping either. I use restlet 2.0m6 and here is the code snippet that I use -

I want to create an array of strings in a text class that I can access with the main document class. Then I'll be able to populate a text field with items in the array. The purpose of this is to avoid having massive lines of text in my main document... but I can't even get my test to work. The compiler is telling me that the array (txt1) is undefined. First here's my code for the array:
//text array class:format5000
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;

What I want to be able to do:
- click a guy to select him
- click an adjacent tile
- move selected guy to clicked tile
The way I've coded it, each instance of a guy class has a mouse even listener on him which listens for a click. When clicked, I find out the tile underneath him, and the surrounding tiles. So far, so good.
When clicked, the guy calls a method in the tile class, like tile.onClick, which tries to say: get this tile, and send it back to a method in the guy class, like moveGuy. Then moveGuy moves the guy to the tile it was told.
Problem:
From the guy class, I call a method in the tile class. To communicate between classes, the tile class method onClick must be static. But if it's static, the method can't refer to "this", because it's a method in the class only, not on each instance of tile. But I need to know which tile was clicked, and send that reference to the guy so he knows where to go.
How do you access a method from outside its class so that the method can refer to "this" instance? OR, how do I find out which tile was clicked without needing any code on each tile instance? OR... how else can this problem be solved?

Is this problem what getters & setters are for? I don't really understand how to use them yet.

When you call a method of a class inside a callback function, you can not use this object.To call the method, in javascript, I declare that variable, assign this to that, and use that inside the callback to call the method of this.In actionscript, do I have to do the same way as I do in javascript?The following code is the example to use that to call a method inside callback.Are there more simple way in actionscript?
class C {
private var that:C;

I am just trying to watch television episodes on my laptop. this error has been popping up for the last couple weeks for no apparent reason. At first, it also said the Flash Player didn't work with 64 bit whatever with IE8. The error said a patch was not yet made and to use IE 32 bit. I did this and am still getting the error. I have uninstalled flash player and reinstallaed it to no avail. This error led to further problems on my laptop resulting in a total crash. Fortunately, I was able to back up all my files before they disappeared. I restored the computer to a time before I started watching television programs on XFinity.com (about a couple months ago) and it seemed corrected for a while and then the error started again. I am given the option to continue or dismiss. either button allows me to continue watching the program, but then repeatedly appears even when I quit XFinity and watch the shows directly from the network websites.

I have been trying for hours to try and solve it so if anyone coud help it would be much appreciated!I have included the.fla file and stripped most of the graphics out so it's under 300kb limit.
