ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling The Constructor Of .as File
Feb 14, 2010
what i am trying to do is by pressing zero_btn which is an object in the library to print a number in the dynamic text box ( result_txt ) which is also an existing object in the library and on stage. my knowledge in actionscript is not much and messing with .as files is totally new to me! then thing is that this code when i locate into to .fla file works fine. there is no error with the code i posted, but am sure something is missing ... like calling the constructor of the .as file.In the library the name of it is Zero_btn and the instance name of this object is zero_btn and it is a button.[code]

I am new to AS3 but not to AS2. I have written a simple class and when I import it, I don't see the object that should be created upon calling the constructor. Can you guys tell me where am I going wrong. And I am very puzzled about 'document class'. Yes, I have google numerous threads on "document class" but still very shaky on this matter. Here is my simple class which should place a button object on the stage when I create a new object of this class. Once I have created the BTN class, I have made sure that I have button component in my library, I then instantiate the object by creating a new CS3 file and importing my class:
import com.learning.as3.*;
var b:BTN = new BTN();
When I test the movie, I get the following errors:
1172: Definition com.learning.as3 could not be found.
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
BTN.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method BTN.

If a constructor takes its parameters as a vararg (...) it seems to be impossible to create a subclass that will just pass on that vararg to the superclass.
There is a related question with fix for this same situation for normal functions: Wrapping a Vararg Method in ActionScipt but I cannot get that to work with a super call.
base class:
public class Bla
{
public function Bla(...rest)
{
[Code]....
Aside from actually moving the handling of the parameters to the subclass or shifting it off to a separate initializer method

is it possible to get the name of a calling function or the constructor from the called function? is it possible to determine the previous function of the thread?
i would like to call some setter functions from my constructor and have my setter functions determine if it was the constructor that called them.
currently, i'm setting a boolean for this functionality, but perhaps there is another way?
public function Constructor(myNumber:Number)
{
this.myNumber = myNumber;
}

How to create new class instance without calling constructor function, meanwhile constructor function must exist and is requiring 1 parameter.
var newclass:myclass = new myclass; <- still calls function myclass in myclass class
I would like to call constructor function later:
newclass.newclass(myparam);

Is it possible to create an instance of a class without triggering the class' constructor?[code]In the case above, say I wanted to play around with a Foo instance, but I really don't want my global.foobarCount going up, nor do i want to pass in any value at all for bar.This could be useful for introspection where you want to learn more about or pass a particular class object but don't want to provide required arguments or trigger anything that the constructor may do.Is this at all possible? (Obviously, new Foo() just doesn't cut it here, since it would throw and arguments error, nor does just using Foo, since that's a reference to the class itself).

I've got a simple program that consist of a document class and a buttonTemplate constructor class. I need to call a function called updateText that should be in the document class, when someone clicks on a button. So that after each button is clicked, it updates some text in my document class. My event listeners for the buttons are in the buttonTemplate class. My question is, how do you call a function in the document class from a constructor class? Here is my simplified code below
DOCUMENT CLASS
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;

constructor function in a Class file. I've built several over my day and never heard a 'proper' answer about them. If your constructor function does nothing, not even set vars or listeners
ActionScript Code:
public function MyClass():void{
}
is it proper to keep it in the Class file or is it ok to leave it out completely?Or is this just something of preference? What do you guys think/do?

i'm trying to create some code which would create instances of arbitrary classes.for example... i'm making a game which will be hosted on a site, and characters i create over time will eventually be selectable for use in game. but instead of uploading an entirely new game whenever i decide to add a new character, i'd prefer to just update an xml file listing the characters, as well as an swf file for each character class.so during actual runtime, i'd have to create instances of these characters.... but i wouldn't necesarily know which character class constructor i'd be creating.... it would depend on who the user selects.if it were up to me, i'd be able to decide what class instance i'd like to make from a string variable (taken from xml).like this maybe...
var classname:String = "CharacterOne()";
var character:Object = new classname;
....instead of having to write: var character:CharacterOne = new CharacterOne();

I'm building an Air application (straight AS3 no flex) that embeds and displays a .swf file. [code]Not only does this not add the .swf file to the display list like I want it to but it seems to run over and over again. "hello" fills up the output window from the trace statement like it's running every frame.The code loads a .jpg just fine so it must be a problem specific to flash files. I would think I would get some kind of security error if there was a conflict not this strange looping constructor. Does anybody have any ideas what is causing this behavior?So I think what was happening is that because both flash files shared the same application domain and they both had "Main.as" as the main class file it was running the constructor over and over again.I've updated my code above to show my unsuccessful attempts to load the external .swf with a different application domain.

What I'm trying to do is to make a simple link in flash that is called from my xml file.I have wracked my brain for weeks trying to figure this out on my own I know that it has to do with the for loop and calling a new link for each project, that is what has me confused.

I'm trying to drop in a quick mp3 player into a site that creates a playlist from an XML (to the folks at ClickPopMedia for the basics of the code). It works fine in the Flash testing environment, but when I put it online, or even on my local testing server, the playlist doesn't load ,just an empty space where the List component should be. I get this error in the debugger in the Flash environment even thought it works (C:htdocs is my localhost):Quote:Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.URL:file:///music.xmlat Mp3Main()[C:htdocsTrafficEntertainmentTE_sitephpsitemus icPlayerMp3Main.as:26]I'm assuming it's some sort of pathname or URLRequest issue but Every file involved is in the same folder for now. Do I need to do something different because it streams?The AS (only a portion):

I am struggling with what seems to be a simple problem. Searched and can't find the answer, it seems. I have an FLA I said I'd edit for a friend... just a few simple text edits. However, when I go to publish the movie, it makes a call to an external "State Manager" that it can't find, so the movie loops endlessly. Here is the actionscript: Code: Select allimport com.exanimo.managers.StateManager;
So I'm guessing it's looking find that at that domain. I guess that's the doing of the original programmer. However, I have noticed that there is a StateManager.js file on the webserver in the same directory where the SWF resides. Have I received an old FLA that pointed externally instead of to the local js manager? How can I change the syntax so that it finds the state manager locally?

I am trying to attach URL's to a button in my Flash movie for a photo gallery. Photo, description and URL's will be generated from a XML file. The action script is as follows:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
[code]....
I get no errors when testing the movie, except when clicking on the button (that should be going to the URL from the XML file), I get the following error in the Output window:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.
at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()

I've calling file names from an XML document, for example: <file>thisGraphicab.swf</file> Then when I call the graphic, the graphic with the matching file name does not exist, but similar named files do exist. For example: thisGraphicab does not exist but thisGraphicbb does exist. Flash will load the thisGraphicbb.swf file in place of the file actually called.
Is there a way to remedy this? I want flash to fail when the file requested does not exist. When you type the name graphics/thisGraphicab.swf into the browser address bar, the file name is changed by the browser to be thisGraphicbb.swf, and it displays, but here again I need it to fail when something like this happens. I know this seems odd, but there's more to it in the end. Anyway, this is what I need to take care of now.

I have been asking a fair number of questions here recently and have been very pleased with the responses, so here is one more for you. Hopefully I can get another solution. :]
I have a flash project acting like a menu and being published as an .exe (projector). In this file, I have a button with the following code:button1.onRelease=function(){fscommand("exec", "openfiles.bat");}
I have an fscommand folder (in the same directory as my flash file) which contains the openfiles.bat, with one line: start myfile.txt
myfile.txt is also located in the fscommand folder. When I simply click on this batch file and run it, the text file opens as it should. However, when I click the button in my flash file, a command prompt window flashes too quickly to see with some sort of error message. It says something about not finding a certain directory and defaulting to the windows directory. I'm assuming it cannot find either my batch file or my text file. I am under the impression that as long as everything is in the fscommand folder it should work properly.
