Is it possible to call/envoke a public static function from JS? I can't seem to get it working and Im almost certain it cannot but I thought I would ask the community.

How can I return an object with an update data, that is pass in to a public static function?

Does anyone know if there is a way to call a dispatchEvent call from inside of a static function?
View 2 RepliesI'm a bit confused in AS3, after long developing in 1 & 2. I'm doing a radioplayer, so I did set my document to be of document class: RadioPlayer. Here is everything ok, sound playing etc. Now my client wants to add a volume button. So I made a movieclip of class VolumeManager. Now, to change the volume, I want my clip to call a public function of RadioPlayer.
As RadioPlayer is the document class I don't know how to reference it inside VolumeManager to call its public function. In AS2, I would say: _root.setSoundVolume(volume);
how bad is this practice? I am having trouble getting to some stuff so i am taking the easy way out
Code:
private static var _interrupted:Boolean;
public static function setInterrupted(value:Boolean):void{
_interrupted = value;
}
I am trying to create a public function, i have a decument class with all of my variables in it, I have worked out how to bring in external .swf files, now I need a way to have an even trigger something on a separate .swf So at the moment I have a flunction that works on the parent
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mousePosition);
function mousePosition(event:MouseEvent) {
if(mouseX>=125)

How do I call a custom component's public function from the main app. For example, I've got a timer component, MyTimer.In the main app, I want to call startTimer() or stopTimer().In the main app, I've got:
<visualcomponent:MyTimer />
In the component, I've got:
public function startTimer():void {

this is the function i want to turn in to a static function. just dont know how to make it a static function and call it from other classes. i think this would have its own file.

I'm wondering if its possible in flash to be able to call a static class function via its name as a string. I know for you're usual case you can do this to call the function 'func'
Code:
this["func"]();
func():void
{
trace("I'm a function");
}
However I'm wanting to do this from another static function and in a static function you obviously can't use the 'this' keyword. I've tried just omitting it, or replacing it with the class name but neither work.
I found a lot of tutorials that show how to use getDefinitionByName() to create an instance of a class. Something like the following:
Code:
var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("menus.buttons.Icons") as Class;
var iconClassInstance:Icons = new classRef() as Icons;

I'm setting up a class of public static vars that are to be BitmapData.
The problem I'm having is I can't seem to reference the vars dynamically in an array, making it impossible to give them values without some serious procdedural style coding.
This is what it looks like
package com.myPackage{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Should I assume it's because my array is a private var and placing references to public static vars is illegal? Is somebody gonna call the flash police on me?
I'm literally new in AS3 and slowly trying to migrate in thats why im here seeking for help. Can someone help me how to access/control a certain public variable in a loaded swf from the main swf? this problem has been paralyzing me for days. (sigh...) [code]...
View 1 RepliesIm just starting to get my hands into Action Script v2, and Im having a really hard time working out what the difference is between Public, Private and Static Variables, it seems that declaring variables in these types makes no difference what so ever to the avaliablility of my variables... Could someone be so kind as to put me on the right path?
View 2 RepliesI have a question about classes. I just learn that static means that functions and/or properties are specifics to a class, but is it a synonym of private? And why statics (not available to any instances?) properties and/or methods can have a public (available anywhere else (timeline)) access modifier? PS: I just start with classes.
View 6 RepliesI have declared some public static consts within a class Instrument. So that I can hopefully access them like Instrument.SAX, instrument.HARP, etc. etc. But when I go to trace out or compare the consts, it gives me this error:
1058: property is write-only
Basically, what I mean is I i have few layers of classes, that calls and change something on the 1st(root) class. In between the process I have to use static var and static function.But when I want to run a function which does not change any variables, for example:otoAndStop(someFrames), I need to make the function a static function too or else there would be error
Code:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method checkStatus through a reference with static type Class.

Ok, so I have a bit of a mess here (Which I'm probably not doing right anyway, which could be my problem...). I have a document class, I'll call it as Body.as, that creates an object from another class known as Headgear.as. There are also other objects created from other classes, or will be in the future. Now, amoung all this, Headgear.as and all of the other classes Body.as will use to make objects require the use of dragging functions (starting and stopping dragging). On stopping drags, position checks are then made to compare a particular hidden movieclip with the dragged MC.
To try and save myself some hassle (from making the same functions over and over to ensuring that when the objects are created I don't need to send a complete crapload of variables just to ensure the position checking function would work), I had the functions for the event listeners (Which are set-up on the draggable MCs in Headgear.as) just direct to functions in Body.as

If I have a .mxml file that has a method in it and a public property, can I have the method execute whenever the property changes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script>
[Code].....
In another .mxml file I have added this .mxml file like so:
<viewComponents:MyViewComponent myProperty="{myVariable}" />
Alright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.
Is it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).
My flex project uses FA-Bridge, and apparently in Safari browser I cannot call any of my public AS functions that have arguments passed in. For example I can call this AS function from javascript:
[Code]....
In the above call safari throws an error # 1063, (i.e. Argument count mismatch) in the safari javascript console, and points to line 561 in FaBridge.js. It thinks I didn't pass in the requied parameters. Now the above issue exists only on Safari. Both of the above approaches work on IE, Firefox and Chrome browsers. Note: I am NOT using swfObject for embedding my swf.
I have to know if a public method has been called from outside the class or from inside. The reason is that depending on this, one of the actions to be executed in this method vary a bit.
