ActionScript 3.0 :: As3 MainTimeLine.as Class Access From Symbol MovieClip
Jan 9, 2010
i have a MainTimeLine.as Document Class using as3 in flash cs4.it beginning looks like:[code]where the as file is declared in the Document Class of the primary fla file. under this primary fla file, i have a MovieClip symbol which points to another fla file. well this file declares a Class Linkage and i can access the properties and objects of the embedded symbol fine from the MainTimeLine.as script file.however, i have the above public player variable defined, as shown above, in the MainTimeLine.as code.i am having trouble accessing the player properties/methods from the embedded symbol fla file. how do i do that?
Here's the scenario: We have a creative team that operates in Flash CS5.5 and produces SWF assets which have both graphics elements and actionscript code in them, and an engineering team which authors .as files and builds "code SWFs". The code SWF files must load or embed the creative assets and interact with the code therein for our apps to function.
For iOS mobile development, there is another consideration - it is not possible to load runtime code in an AIR app packages for iOS because of Apple TOS (see related question). Hence, it is not possible to use a Loader to load SWFs in an iOS environment and retain their code.
Embedding a SWF into an ActionScript file the standard way results in a Loader that loads the embedded SWF directly as bytes. This results in access to the top-level, main timeline as follows:
I created a movieclip symbol and exported to actionscript, I created the .as file:
class BRIQUE extends MovieClip { function BRIQUE() {
[Code].....
"graphics" is an image imported on the stage inside my symbol, but it seems not to be accessible this way (I get an error), nevertheless it works this way in as3 then what is the right way in as2 ?
I'm loading a few external swf's into my file at runtime using load().Once each one is loaded I run a function on it to search through it's children.I use code similar to below to iterate through all the children and check if the name contains a particular string and then perform a function on it.
Code: for(var k:String in theMC){ if(k.indexOf("character")==0){
I'm trying to write a custom class for a library object. for example i have a movieClip in my library and there is a textField in it instance name is textField .
i exported my clip for actionScript and i write class definition like "com.xxx.MyClipClass". it's ok, there is no problem. but when i want to access to textField in MyClipClass like this.textField.text ="abc" i got an error undefined property.
I need to access an array that's on the maintimeline from with in a movie clip im having issues with it.
The variable has all its info on the maintimeline but doesnt show up when i reference it in the movie clip So i tried referencing to the array var thumbURL:String =parent.thumbs ; and var thumbURL:String =root.thumbs ; but got an empty variable.
Using CS3 Flash Pro, AS2 or AS3Once the dynamic TextField is converted to a Movie clip symbol,access to that TextField is lost / broken.Could this be a "Class" issue?How do I enable the dynamic text to be passed into the Movie clip symbol?
Short version : Im confused on the difference between the two when accessing something on the stage from a package. Longer version: I passed in a ref to the stage to the constructor on a class, and was unable to use it to access a dynamic text on stage. I pass in this instead and am able to access it.
Found several suggestions, none of which have worked. I am sure I am probably overlooking something really stupid, so I need another set of eyes to look at my code. I have a main.swf that preloads and loads an intro.swf. On the intro.swf there is IntroMC that contains skip_btn. When the user clicks skip_btn, I need to call a function named traceMe() from the document class of main.swf. If you look at the comments for the intro.swf code, you can see the error I am getting.
Here is the code for main.swf Code: Select allpackage {
i am creating a package, MainTimeLine.as, to extend my main timeline. i use the FLVPlayback component under the package. however, i get the compile error:
1172: Definition fl.video:FLVPlayback could not be found. so i added the "import fl.video.FLVPlayback;" line to my MainTimeLine.as file, but flash gives the above error. now i had this problem when i added this code directly under a frame of the main timeline until i added a FLVPlayback instance to my library. now, i am trying to simply embed all of the code under the MainTimeLine.as file and have the as file encapsulate all of it. but, i still get that error.
so, how do i get flash cs4 to recognize and use the import properly
Going further on my app, I felt in another problem. Despite having lots of posts on the web regarding this, none of the solutions worked for me In my document class (Main.as) ve two containers. One empty and another with a star that is being imported from the library. Here´s the main class:
I keep getting the #1009 error coming up, i checked that everything was on my stage and was named correctly.This is the error message that comes up:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Videogame_fla::MainTimeline/loop()Here is my code:
var carrot:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 460) +0; var carrot1:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 460) +0; var carrot2:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 460)+0;
I need to remove a MovieClip from the stage completely and keep it that way. The following code works just fine but when I come back to that frame later the MovieClip is there again.
I am loading a 29 frame movieclip on fame 15 of the main timeline. Is there a way to have it continue playing maintimeline when it finishes. So when it gets to frame 20 of the movieclip AS sends control back to frame 16 of the maintimeline.
Running Flash CS3, I've reviewed the lynda.com tutorial on building particle systems in ActionScript 3.0 to try and build some shooting sparks in an animation.I'm getting stuck at what I think is a really elementary point, but I can't seem to get past it.
Basically, all I'm trying to do at this point is create a class called Particle (which I will teach to do things that particles do a little later) link it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the particle's update function to move it across the stage in a manner defined in the instance (so I can later give different movement properties to each AS generated instance of the MC). I know there are easier ways to accomplish my base task without loading an external package, but this seems so strightforward that I must be doing something very simple wrong I just can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.
I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my Spark Test.fla file.
In Particle.as I have the following code:
package{ import flash.display.*; public class Particle extends MovieClip { public xVelocity:Number; public yVelocity:Number; public function Particle() { xVelocity = 0; yVelocity = 0; } public function update():void { this.x += xVelocity; this.y += yVelocity; } }}
So I'm declaring that all particles are built with no motion, but if they are explicitly granted an x or y velocity, they will move by that much when the instance's update function is called in the timeline.
Then in my Spark Test.fla file, I have a small shape in a MovieClip called Spark. In the Linkage properties of Spark I have chosen to Export for ActionScript and Export in FIrst Frame. The class is called Spark and the Base class is Particle. For testing purposes I've dropped an instance on the stage and called it spark. Then in the actions layer in the first frame (the timeline is just the spark layer and the actions layer, one frame long each with no "stop();" so it should run forever) I have included the following code:
spark.xVelocity = 5;spark.yVelocity = -1; function updateSpark(event:Event):void{ spark.update();} addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSpark);
What it looks like this should do is on each ENTER_FRAME Flash should call updateSpark which is a function that runs the update() event for the spark instance which is a instance of a movieclip that has an update event which moves x and y position by their relative velocity variables. This all seems pretty straightforward to me, but when I ctrl-Enter to test the movie, I get the following 3 compiler errors:
Particle.as Line 1: 5000: The class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type. Particle.as Line 7: 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not xVelocity. Particle.as Line 7: 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before semicolon.
what i want to do is, when certain button is clicked, replace a certain symbol(button) by another symbol(movieclip) stored in the library. i try things like loadmovie("","") to replace the symbol from a external jpg, but some how it does not align even both images are exact dimension. can i replace an image straight from the library?
Basically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.
I took a template to create a flash game using AS3 and it uses a class that first runs a movieclip where the game is played. So when the game runs, I set a countdown timer to count down from 60 to 0. When it hits 0, I want to go to another movieclip.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to access the other movieclip.
public class MyClass extends MovieClip { public function MyClass():void { my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, action); } private function action(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]...
I can't able to access the my_mc(placed in FLA) movieclip. How do I access?
I can't acces my MC that was created inside my class. 've got a MC "bttn" on my stage, if u create an instance of the BttnClass a copy of the MCbttn is made and given an other position, than I want to play the bttn's(contains multiple frames) and NOTHING happens. The Bttn's are copied,but I can't play them. So my class works but how can I play my buttons?
Class file: ActionScript Code: class Bttn { //variables private var num:Number //constructor function public function Bttn(i) { [Code] .....
So i have a movieclip with a textfield in it. Also there is a class for this Movieclip. This all is exported to a swc that is linked into other projects for reuse purposes. However I cant access the textfield from classes in other projects. I get the 1009 error. Even when accessing ti from the Added to stage event.
