Lets say I have a Main Document Class called Main. I also have a child class called childClass that call a function from the Main class and is also imported in the Main class. How should I call the function? I tried this , but when calling the function, it's getting me error.
How can I make a call to a function in the parent class of the class I'm in.
example:
main class
Code:
package { import flash.display.Sprite; public class mainClass extends Sprite {
[Code].....
I realise that there is some stuff that is missing in the "full" code here, but that's just because I'm to lazy to write it all...
How do I get the "someButton" in the "child_class" to call the "theImportantFunction" in the main class? I know that it is possible to make a "dispatchEvent" in the "mouseClick" function, and then add a eventlistener in the main class.. But is there another way to just call the function directly?
i have a swf that loads a swf that loads one swf into that one. i need the final swf (child, child) to be able to call a function on the first swf (parent)
I have a function (let's call it testFunction for right now ) on the actions layer in the main timeline There is a movie clip with 15 frames long in the library
i want to add a child of the movie clip on the stage, and call testFunction when it finishes playing
how can i do? i tried to call it in the child but nothing works
Or, is there any way to show child on the stage for only a period of time like 1 second and then remove it automaticly?
also... my other classes that are run through initCore aren't doing anything but tracing, so I know there loaded but none of the objects that are supposed to be created are being created.
And I call my itemRenderer from an application like: list_groups_modify.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(groups.list_groups_modify_item_renderer); <mx:Label text="{data.label}" textAlign="center" maxWidth="60" toolTip="{data.label}"/>
Is it possible to call a child function from within the parent? I know to go child > parent, you can do parentApplication.functionName(parameters);, but what about going the other way... that is parent > child?
I have a swf that should be able to load another swf in runtime. Then I would like the loaded swf to call a method of the parent, loader swf, like this:
Code: parent.closeForm; But when I compile it, it throws this error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property closeForm through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I've tried: Code: if (parent != stage){ parent.closeForm; }
So flash won't run this code at compile time, but it always throws that error. Here is the code of the LOADER swf:
Code: private function loadForm():void { var loader:Loader = new Loader() var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(formPath); loader.load(mRequest); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFormCompleteHandler); [Code] .....
How could I write an expression that should call a function of the LOADER swf without having this compile-time error?
I have a main MovieClip that creates a new instance of an imported class which is a page in the application. This class tries to call a function on the main MovieClip and it's not finding it. I've done this in the past without any problems with separate swf files and loaders, and with movieclips in a library. I'm at a loss on how to resolve this. Here's what I'm doing (simplified for posting):
I'm trying to make a loaded SWF call a function that is in the parent SWF, but it is not working.In AS 2.0 I could just put something like _root.myFunction(); and it worked.But in AS 3.0 it does not work anymore.
I have a child movie clip attached to the parent via the flash interface. The child is running a timer via code on its (the child's) timeline. When the timer finishes it needs to trigger a function on the parent's timeline. All the examples show how to trigger a function on the child - that is easy and I have got that working.
How can I run function of the main document class from a class of a MovieClip? I usually just used MovieClip(parent).function(), but now my MovieClip has another parent. Or what do I have to pass to the MovieClip class when creating the MovieClip to acess the main document class?
I have a Document class that instantiates a class named Other. I need to call a function in the Other class from the Document class.I'm getting this error: Call to a possibly undefined method OtherFunction through a reference with static type Other.I have read online that you need to use make the functions static or use a getter function but I'm unclear how to do that. I haven't been able to make it work and I feel like i'm missing something fundemental with this problem.below are simplified versions of the classes.
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite; listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp); addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent; ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
I have a .fla file with some code in the actions panel.A bit of code calls a function in a class from the actions panel .The function in the class is run, but I want to be able to call a function in the main actions panel code from the function in that class .The class doesn't extend anything so (parent as MovieClip).function() does not work.
I am trying to run a function of the main class, but even with casting it does not work. I get this error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at rpflash.communication::RPXMLReader/updateplaylist() at rpflash.communication::RPXMLReader/dataHandler()
I have class ShowCase that inherite from my class ContentMC (that inherite from MovieClip). In the class ShowCase I have an EventListner that calls a function in the parent class ContentMC. But I get an error that says "Access of undefined property restoreMenuItem".
I have 2 class. Main class and a subclass (being an image loader).When the subclass has finished loading I want it to access a timer function in the mainclass.Code: Select all1)mainclass |> subClass.loadMe();2) When subclass load finished.3)Subclass |> mainclass.startTimer();This i dont know how to do.
So I am trying to access a variable that is defined within my parent code from a class which has been called from my parent code. I am using this:Code:TileCode(parent).game_quests.add_quest(0);to try to access the game_quests variable (which is defined within TileCode). However, for some reason it is not picking that up. It is working for other variables which I have called and ran in a similar fashion
How do you call a function from another class in AS3? Functions referring properties/methods from instances created in that class. For example I have a class that creates a textfield and a scrollbar and another that load some images in a Scroll Pane component. I do it in that way because in some menus appears only text and in others text & images
What I need is with the scrollbar, scroll both text and images
This is what I can do..Write a Menu Class to build a panel of buttons.Add the event listener to the object in the Class.Instantiate the Class in the main document.
What I cant do or understand is how to respond to the events from the Menu Class in the Main document, say by calling a function that exists in the Main document.
I get around this by instantiating the menu Class and then assigning the listener to it in the Main document.
I'm just beginning to learn AS3. Here's what I intend to do. Create a base movie. Load a footer into the basemovie. When a button is clicked in the footer, I want to call a function in the base movie to load a page on the top.
Please refer to the attachment. Basemovie is the main class, that loads the footer swf. In footer.as, I want to be able to call basemovie.fLoadContent() from the function fClickNext().
