ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Call Constructor Then Constructor Can Call A Method But Can't Call The Method
Sep 7, 2010I have a class. I can call the constructor (initialize the class), and the constructor can then call a function/method inside it's own class (so I know it works), but when I try to call the same function/method myself from the instance of the class I just initialized, I get an error.

I do know that you cannot call functions, however what is the purpose of the constructor when the code in the class is executed? Why not allow functions and make it simpler?

IDE :: Put A Trace In The Constructor Of The Class?
Aug 28, 2009I am trying to things efficiently and put as little code as possible on the timeline.
I have a document class loading and working at runtime.
It creates a button that takes me to a different frame on the timeline.
I have a movie clip there. I put a trace in the constructor of the class of that movie clip but it will not show the trace comment in the output window-its not working. There are no errors.
I also tried instantiating the same movie clip from the document class-which worked-but the trace in it's class's constructor still does not output.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Loaded SWF Constructor Ignored?
Feb 24, 2010I'm having a problem with a .swf which when loaded into another .swf has its constructor function ignored
when i'm running local it works fine, but when theres a real loading the constructor doesnt run, also making timeline code ignored ( since timeline code is just addScript call in the clip constructor)
anyone else has had this problem?? same problem happens either using Loader class or BulkLoader, also happens when simulating download in the IDE
IDE :: Passing Properties To Constructor?
Apr 3, 2010Is it possible to define 'public properties' of an object in the constructor method when you create the object ? similar to..
var leftmain_scrollertext = new TextField({length:10});
I have a TextField and I want to set its maxChars, x, y, width etc.
when I specify one or more of these I get... 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
am I forced to specify each property I want individually after I have constructed it ?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Constructor Is Never Activated?
Sep 22, 2011I have an object that has been added to the stage, exported properly for actionscript, and given an instance name.It's class file is this:
PHP Code: [code]....
And yet none of this works. The trace doesn't even go off, meaning the constructor is never activated. It's linked properly; if I go to the movie clip's preferences and hit "edit class file" it takes me to the proper one.It's possible that the problem lies with the frame numbering. The first time this object is added to the display list is in Frame 2...and it says "export in Frame 1" but I'm not exactly sure what that means or how it affects the class definition or how to get around it. I tried adding it (var sb:SoundButton = new SoundButton in the first frame,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Specify A Constructor Function For A Class?
Oct 11, 2009I'm making a class called 'player', and really, I don't need a constructor function for it. Do you just outline the function, but don't put anything between the curly braces? Also, I'm a bit new with access levels. If I wanted my functions from my player class to be accessible from the main class, do I make them public?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Classes And Inheritance Of The Constructor?
May 8, 2009I have three classes (shown below, after the problem description).The first class (InteractiveStrategy) is the main class definition. In there I declare and instantiate two variables, download and upload, both of DataTxRx class.
On instantiation the folowing error pops up>> 1203: No default constructor found in base class strategy:DataTxRx public function Question(){ The second class, DataTxRx does two things only, either to download data or to upload data. As shown in its constructor, if the required parameter 'direction' is equal to DOWNLOAD, it calls the DownloadData() function. Similary, it calls the UploadData() if the required parameter is equal to UPLOAD.
The third class, Question extends the DataTxRx class, but itself has no constructor. However it has other methods(not shown) for adding, modifying and deleting questions anomg others.
package strategy{
import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.*;

Actionscript 3 :: Is A New Constructor Function Necessary When Subclassing
Jan 9, 2010Basic OOP question... I want to add a couple functions to the Array class so that my program will be amazing and make me rich and famous overnight. So I create a new subclass NewArray which extends Array. Do I need to write a constructor method for NewArray? If I leave it blank will it just use the parent's (Array's) constructor method?

Actionscript :: Constructor For Value Object Classes?
May 9, 2011Is it OK to use the constructor to set properties for a value object class or must I use dot notation and set each one, one-by-one? I recently read an article that was saying I should do it one-by-one as value objects should only contain properties and went on to say using the constructor is not OK (best-practice wise).
Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Does FLVController Use Constructor Of MediaController?
Oct 7, 2009I know, every class needs a constructor. But, in the book there's a practical tutorial of a media player to demonstrate all of the concepts of OOP. So the author first created a class called MediaController and then another class called FLVController which extends MediaController. In the FLVController the author did not include a constructor function, instead he has just overridden some of the MediaController class. Actually, I never knew this is possible... but in this case, does FLVController use the constructor of MediaController? what if both class should be constructed differently, does that mean I have to include a constructor in FLVController as well or override it in some way?

Jan 25, 2010I'm doing something - probably very stupid - with an external library swf. That swf so far contains two buttons each with their own classes 'Simple_Button' and 'Simple_Pop_Button'. In the library swf document class I set up an object that lists the available classes:
Code:
oClasses = {"Simple_Button":"com.Home.Button.Simple_Button",
"Simple_Pop_Button":"com.Home.Button.Simple_Pop_Button"};
In the swf that loads the library swf I process that object and create another object with proper class references based on it:
Code:
function initHandler(event:Event):void {
defineLibraryClasses(event.target.content.getClasses(), event.target.loader);
addBtns();
