If objects are created dynamically in AS3, using code like this:
for (var num:Number = 0; num<10; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField();
txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}
then later, i want to changet the text of one of the TextFields, how can I do that? The only instance listed in the variables is a single instance of "txtFld" and it is the last one that is created. How can I access the others?
So heres my code in my main game loop:
Code:
if (! initialized)
{
for (var c = 1; c < 1000; c++)
[Code].....
The error given is "1120: Access of undefined property particle4." However, everything traces correctly, but the individual particles cannot be accessed outside of the loop. Eventually I want to add the next particle at the mouse position on every click, but obviously I can't do that without being able to access the individual particles. I also read about having to use getChildByName() to access names set in AS3, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.
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.
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection.

I'm working in flex, but using as3. I have two components, and need to communicate between vars. I have my main app, and two components. I declare "newsDB" in the main app like this.

I have been stuck on this problem for a while, and wonder if anyone knows the answer. It is concerning accessing some properties of a custom component. I marked the problem with the keyword [PROBLEM] in the following snippets of code.

I've made two custom classes ("banana" and "box"). As I start my application I create two new objects from these classes - first I create a banana object and then a box object. The banana class/object has a property/variable ("weight") that I set with information from an external XML file, thus it takes a while for it to receive a value.
My problem is that my box object needs to access the "weight" property of the banana project, just after the box object has been created. The problem is that the banana object hasn't finished initialising when I make the request from the box object...
Is there a way of either check the status of another class (initialisation status that is), or is there another way of preventing the box object to either be created before the banana object is initialised?
I want to be able to make my own math-functions, so that I don't have to write the same trivial functions in all my classes. I would like to import a class called something like MathExtended, and then use functions like this:

I have created some (TextInput, ComboBox, CheckBox) Component instances (created as a public objects) in a Document class and added them to the stage.
Now I have created a custom class for a movieclip in library and instantiated it in the document class (also a public instance).
I need to access the component instances in the custom class. How to do this ?
Also, Is it a good practice to use ENTER_FRAME event frequently ? because if I can't access the above components instances in the custom class then I will be left with no choice but to use ENTER_FRAME event in the document class every time I need to change some value in the components...
After resolving one issue, another error has surfaced in my custom class. This class displays a dialogBox and the dialogBox has some interactive MovieClips like btnOK_mc Button.On creating an object of the said class, it reports errors like "Access of undefined property btnOK_mc".[code]I understand that it is an issue of the Scope of these controls; but don't know, how to define these MCs; so that they look like Public. I may be just out of track on the issue.
View 8 RepliesI am writing a program in OOP and I have a custom subclass which I make a new instance of in the document class. When I do make a new instance of this custom class, I want this (the custom subclass is a movieclip) object to be positioned at the center of the stage. However, when I try

I've made a custom sound class:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.media.SoundTransform;
[Code] .....
What I would like that class do is to trace a variable that is on Main.as which is Document Class, after a sound completed playing.
Once a button is clicked in a submenu called SelectChar(a menu class extending my menu base class), it dispatches a custom event carrying an array of variables. This event is then listened for in the main Document Class called Engine, where the value of the passed variable can be used. For testing purposes im only passing 1 arguement in the array.
my Error when trying to trace the passed variable in isolation "trace(e.arg[0]);": 1119: Access of possibly undefined property arg through a reference with static type flash.events:Event.
Okay, i hope that made sense... heres the relevent code:
custom event class: passCharEvent.as

import flash.events.Event;

I have made a class (as an extention to MovieClip) in a seperate file where I can load a picture and later resize it into a thumbnail. I have no problem showing them, but when I tried to make a MouseEvent for clicking onto the shown thumbnail and then tries to access the instance the event sends me, I get :
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@22c30791 to ThumbNail.

I don't understand why it complains on 'Loader'!?And what is the best way to access the instance of the 'ThumbNail' in the MouseEvent?

I'd like to be able to access some objects which are on the stage before compile time (e.g. in my .fla file). I can do this fine from the document class using the names I've assigned to them, but I need to be able to do this from other classes (instantiated at runtime) too.
What is the best way to go about this? Can I use the stage variable (this isn't looking likely from what I've read so far) somehow? Or do I need to pass in references to these objects from my document class when I create the instances of the class that needs to access them?
I'm working on a flash video player and I'm trying to figure out how to access something inside the constructor that I know is set but it keeps telling me its not.

now in the metadata function its giving me the error, "Access of undefined property video" Now, am I just completely not understanding how classes work or is this a common problem?
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.

the traces within the function return correct results, however when trace values of the arrays within the function and created by the xml are attempted results are returned 'undefined'.
Why can I not access arrays made in this way from outside of the function?
I began with a class for a movie clip rollover function FigureRollOver. It works marvellously. Three things happen:
1) it loads XML from a file "mod1_fig1.xml" and uses another class, XMLMember, to retool the scoping of the XML so that I can get at it
2) an onload call inside of XMLMember calls the myOnLoad function and transfers the XML into an array.
3) so long as the array is finished building, rolling over a movie clip attaches a new movie clip with the rollover text in it.But I don't want all those functions in one because I need it to be more dynamic, starting with being able to load any old xml file instead of just "mod1_fig1.xml", plus it seems lik overbuilding to have all of that in one class, so I've separated out the loading of the XML and building of the array into its own class, FigureXMLLoader. FigureRollOver is then left to just attach the rollover with text in it, extracted from the array built by the new class.
Problem is, though the array builds inside FigureXMLLoader, I can't figure out how to make it available outside the class. I know that I'm constructing things in the wrong order, and that the array needs to be somehow built inside the class function to be available, but I can't figure out how to do that. A cruddy work-around is to put a function call at the end of the building of the array, which calls yet ANOTHER function on the main timeline of my .swf to put the array I've just built into a new variable.This works, but it's messy. It seems like I should be able to have one line of script in the .swf that generates an array on the main timeline (or just a public array) which I can then access from my FigureRollOver class:
var myRollOvers:Array = new FigureXMLLoader("mod1_fig1.xml");
Here is FigureXMLLoader (see comments in the code for more details) which obviously does not return an array as it is, because of all the working around I've had to do. Note the "testing" variable, which can be traced from the main timeline of the .swf, but I will get "not what I want" because of course the array hasn't been built yet, and never will be, inside of the declaration as it is. How do I get it in there so I can return an array?
i am making a few object of action script..,what special about this object is that in the contructor function of this object is that i make it to send a sprite parameter which will act as it's parent..,var anObject:myObject = new myObject(parentSprite);and in my main project i used those object and store it in an array after adding it to the stage.i do store it to an array cause i need to be able to refer back to it..everything was fine up until i need to call function inside that object which i already stored in an array. how should i call the function in that object from an array that stored the object?

View 4 RepliesSo 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?
