ActionScript 3.0 :: Call Functions And Classes From Variables?

Oct 20, 2009

I was wondering if ActionScript had some way to call functions and classes from variables, like they do in PHP:

function funcname() {
print "Potatoes come from tree";
}
$function = "funcname";
print $function;   // Prints out "funcname"
$$function();      // Prints out "Potatoes come from tree"

In case you don't know the syntax for PHP, you should know that anything perpended with a $-symbol is a variable.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rename All Variables, Functions, And Custom Classes To Some Random Hash?

Sep 28, 2011

does one protect this? I mean, Flash Cs5 ide has this little "protect from import" option but I don't think that's enough.I mean, the only thing I can think of is a scrambler.Something that would rename all variables, functions, and custom classes to some random hash. So something like myVar would be renamed to x41dDefh5kjFCe. It would be like a big "lol have fun" to someone who might manage to go that far.Still, that isn't enough. I mean, anyone else know of any good ideas or programs? Just trying to protect my work

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Functions In Other Classes?

Sep 8, 2011

I've been working my way towards better OOP design lately and I've come across a problem with accessing functions in other classes from my Main class. Here is the code:

Main.as

ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUp);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fireBullet);

They are listening for functions that are within the Player.as class, these functions control the dynamics/movement of the player itelf. But for some reason I'm getting a 1120 error(access of undefined property). Basically how do you listen/access for functions within a different class?

Xml :: Structure Classes To Avoid Using Static Functions?

Nov 16, 2011

I have a Flash application that creates a sort of powerpoint presentation. All the 'slides' are stored in an XML files which is read and processed.

I'm trying to build the presentation using this XML file. At the moment, my main class has it's initial function main and a static function processXML main initiates my database class with a function called initDB. One of my issues is that initDB forgoes processing because it's dependant on an event listener. On completion of loading the XML files, the event listener initiates my static function on my main to create objects from this file.

The issue is that because the event listener continues the processing (after an indeterminate amount of time), the functions are no longer controlled by the main class.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Functions In Object Oriented Classes

Aug 4, 2009

I'm new to the object oriented stuff and I'm trying to learn how it works. Here's what I've started on - it's led to a few dilemmas. I have one flash file and two .as each with one class. In the timeline of the fla file, it reads:
ActionScript Code:
var FileObject:ScriptFile = new ScriptFile();
function onEnterFrame(){
FileObject.CallInput();
}

Call input is a function in "ScriptFile.as" that calls another function in "Input.as";
ActionScript Code:
class Input{
public function Input(){
} public function keyListener(target:Number):Number{
[Code] .....

In output, when I press Left, it will say -5 over and over again, and I'm trying to add to xpos value but that isn't happening.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Asynch Or Callback Functions Between Classes?

Apr 26, 2009

Im trying to load some data, but I want to outsource the job of data loading to different classes.lets say XMLLoader class will get the url and return an xml file. The problem now is that such procedures are asynchronous, the class has to wait for XML to load and then call back the caller class and return the xml data.One way of doing this, is returning the data with a custom event. once its loaded then dispatch this event with the data in. However, I was wondering, if there is a way to do it with some sort of asynch call, meaning the caller class sends the request, then waits for a response.is such a thing possible? is there a better way or do I need to stick to my custom events?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Constructor Functions Of Multiple Classes?

May 16, 2009

I have a rather general question regarding OOP. How do constructor functions execute with multiple class extensions? I'm making an orbital physics simulation, and every spatial body is of the class SpaceObject, which extends Sprite. Then, I have all earth-type planets be of the class Earth, which extends SpaceObject. There are certain parameters that I'd like to set for every single SpaceObject (like position and size) in the constructor function, and certain parameters (like density and mass) that I'd like to set in the constructor of class Earth.But from the main timeline, when I create an instance of class Earth, I can only enter the parameters of the Earth constructor, ie

Code:
var planet1:Earth = new Earth(density, mass)
Or I can create an instance of SpaceObject:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Nested Functions And Tween Classes Not Working?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Protected Set Functions - Cannot Access From Child Classes

Feb 20, 2009

I have this function in the parent class:
ActionScript Code:
private m_colors:Array;
protected function set colors(clrs:Array):void {
m_colors = clrs;
}

Then, in my child class I want to call this as:
super.colors = [15, 255];
But it throws an error, it says:
Ambiguous reference to colors. If I do the same with a common function, not a setter one, then just calling it with its name in my child class works fine.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Design A Class That Uses Functions From Multiple Classes?

I'm trying to design a class that uses functions from multiple classes, but as Google tells me, you cannot extend multiple classes.

Here's my code:

package com.levelGenerator {

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

How do I use the Keyboard functions and nextFrame() without extending multiple classes?

P.S. A language with object-oriented principles that doesn't allow multiple inheritance? Lame...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Iphone Specific Functions/classes (specifically CameraRoll)?

Oct 21, 2010

Is there a way I can find out all the classes that are related specifically to the iphone in CS5? (ie Accelerometer, Gestures...ec)

What I want to do specifically is try to access the camera and then if there is none (say it is an old ipod touch) then go to a photos/camera roll folder and show those. Apparently in the help files, in the Air 2.5 runtime there is a "browseForImage" function that allows you to go to said cameraRoll but it will not compile if I publish under the iphone OS option (does not have specific stuff I am importing from an example flash.media.MediaType, flash.events.MediaEvent, flash.media.MediaPromise). Upon looking up the errors, there is no mention whether it is for a specific device.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Entire Classes Within A Package That Contains Normally In-frame Functions?

Jun 16, 2011

When I create anything in a library, it's basically a class right? Meaning I can do essentially the same thing with use of a package in an AS file? In AS 2.0 this would probably mean I can add specific functions on this class as I can do when I use flash's object interface and add script to the specific class object itself. However, in AS 3.0 you cannot attribute code directly to an object right?

This leads me to my second question. I basically want to create a flash mp3 player (I've coded this already), but make it so that it is an entire package of contents, so I can add it to my website when a mouse event is detected and then take it off the website once it's no longer needed (to conserve memory and assure an overall nice experience). The problem is that I have many objects and subsequent functions (play button, pause button, etc), and want all of this to be contained in one file. Is this even possible?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Classes, Collisions And Functions - Check If A Ball Is Hitting Another?

Oct 11, 2010

Im working in FlashDevelop on a 'breakout' game where you control a paddle with your mouse and a ball bounces around the screen and breaks blocks.Right now I have a Main, Paddle, and Ball class. In the main class I added a Paddle called player as a public static variable. In my Ball class I have a collisionCheck() function. This way I can access 'player' from within my Ball class for testing collisions.

At somepoint in the game there will be a powerup that adds mutiple balls to the stage. Right now I have a function in the main class call addBall() to add a new Ball to the stage.I am now running into trouble. Working on the collision check method in my Ball class, I dont know how to check if a ball is hitting another ball because as of right now, balls are being added with the addBall function, so they can't be declared as public static variables.
