Is there any method to change the property of b2World dynamically?.. I want to apply a wind effect at some level of my game.. My idea is to change the property of b2World object that i created..
Or is there any other method to crate that effect?..
I have created 4 b2Body objects in box2D (using a common function) with the same name. I want to destroy these objects later. But i dnt know how to access each one of the. Now i could access and destroy only the last created object.If the same situation of multiple copies comes when using MovieClip, i usually copies its reference to an array, and later access it by "Holder[i]". Is there a similar method in Box2D also?.Or any other idea to destroy all created b2Body objects in b2World..

generally, how i work involves designing all of my graphics in Flash Authoring, converting them to Sprite symbols by changing the base class to flash.display.Sprite, give my instances names and finally export them to ActionScript.the approach actually permits me to dynamically create properties in code on my Sprite instances that i've exported to ActionScript, just as if they were instances of MovieClips. i'm not entirely sure why i'm able to do this, but i can. in polling the objects to make sure of their superclass, they are indeed Sprites and not MovieClips.however, as expected, if i program a new sprite from scratch in code and try to dynamically add a property to the new programmed sprite a compile time error will result.

import flash.display.Sprite;

I have stored name of a property of an object as a string. In PHP, if the object were named $object and the property variable was named $key, it could be accessed with $object->$key. How can I dynamically access properties in ActionScript?

I create a new object. My new object will always have a labelField because it has to be added to a dataProvider in a ComboBox. The problem is my next property. Each object in the dataProvider has a dataField property that has a string value [eg: 'code' or 'isoCode'].[code]

Im dynamically creating an instance of a movieclip, call it a game piece. This game piece has 4 frames, each with a movieclip called base(although one is red, one blue, one green, one yellow). When the game piece is created I set the frame to indicate player color. Im also changing the alpha of base to 1.0 when its being dragged, 0.5 when its dropped.
Using the following code, everything works fine if the game piece color is set to the base in frame 1 (red). If the game piece is created and the timeline moved to a frame other than 1, I throw an error when trying to access base.alpha (this would be the second, third, and fourth instances of base in the game piece timeline). Heres the strange part, this is only a problem when the game piece is first created and added to the display list. Once created, even after the error has been thrown, I can access the alpha of bases 2, 3, and 4 in the drag start/stop listeners. Heres a link to the work in progress, and the relevant sections of code (shortened for brevity, t1 is the top left piece on the pallet, others just repeat the same code):[URL]

Using org.as3commons.reflect I can look-up the class name, and instantiate a class at runtime.I also have (non-working) code which invokes a method. However, I really want to set a property value. I'm not sure if properties are realized as methods internally in Flex.I have a Metadata class which stores 3 pieces of information: name, value, and type (all are strings).I want to be able to loop through an Array of Metadata objects and set the corresponding properties on the instantiated class.[code]I realize that I have to declare a dummy variable of the type I was to instantiate, or use the -inculde compiler directive. An unfortunate drawback of Flex.Also, right now there's code to account for typecasting the value to it's specified type.
View 1 RepliesLong time listener, first time caller here. I'm having trouble with how Flash sets the _x property of a dynamically created movieclip. If I create a rectangle on the stage using the Drawing API:
Code:
//for the purposes of this example, assign a value to i

I'm not new to Flash by any stretch of the imagination, but I have never come up against this problem before. For context, I'm actually getting my feet wet with the Tween class, and am having trouble animating dynamically created movieclips due to this confusion with coordinates. When I tween a dynamically created clip from one set of coordinates to another, they are offset by the movieclip's _x and _y properties starting at 0, 0, rather than their actual position on stage.
i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.
here's a small piece of code i can't get working:
//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input
[Code].....
bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..
I was just working in a Flash file, and an mc was in the top left, with an x vale of around 12px.I copied and pasted that mc into another file, and when I looked back at the first file, the x value was 448.6px.

So when you have a Document class, it is added as an object to the stage. If the equivalent of stage.getChildAt(0); is traced in any custom class linked to the Document class it will output the Document class (ex: GalleryDocument). If you trace it's name property like so stage.getChildAt(0).name; it will output root1.
Is it possible to assign a different name to the Document class or is there a limitation on changing the name property when it comes to the root object?
I am building a Flex application with ActionScript 3. Unfortunately I've hit a wall with this one...I would like to be able to apply an upSkin to my dynamically generated button like this:
//this theSkin variable is dynamic in my app, but for this example it's a simple string
var theSkin:String = "http://www.mypicturedomain.com/images/myimage.gif";
var navBtn:Button = new Button();
navBtn.id = "thumb1";
[code]....
When I attempt this, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@3dac941 to Class.
How do I skin this button with my image dynamically? A couple of things to consider:The upSkin image must be remote. It can't be local.The button must be generated dynamically (it's in a for loop).

View 2 RepliesI have a custom component on which I have bound an array collection to one of its proeprties: <comp:MyComp id="comp" prop="{images}" /> images is an arraycollection In the components' code I would like to know which event to listen on everytime images updates props. I tried a setter on props but the setter only gets called once when props is first set. I tried the collection event but I get "Update" events sent on top of 'add' and 'remove' events and I would rather not have to manage those. So is there an event(flex or otherwise) that is fired every time a component property is updated by a bindable property?
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield which seems normal with the text I set by Flash IDE, but it disappears when I change it's text property, programmatically.Except if I set the textfield to use no anti-aliasing (Bitmap text [no anti-alias]);

I'm re-writing an MXML item renderer in pure AS. A problem I can't seem to get past is how to have each item renderer react to a change on a static property on the item renderer class. In the MXML version, I have the following binding set up on the itemenderer:instanceProperty=callInstanceFunction(ItemRenderer.staticProperty)What would be the equivalent way of setting this up in AS (using BindingUtils, I assume)?PDATE:So I thought the following wasn't working, but it appears as if Flex is suppressing errors thrown in the instanceFunction, making it appear as if the binding itself is bad. indingUtils.bindSetter(instanceFunction, ItemRenderer, "staticProperty");However, when instanceFunction is called, already initialized variables on the given instance are all null, which was the cause of the errors referenced above.

View 1 RepliesI am about to go crazy trying to change the property of a movie clip. Could someone tell me why this doesn't work:
movieheight = _root._level1.project._height
_root._level1.mytext = movieheight
-movieheight is a variable in the movie which has been loaded into level1. -project is a movie clip (I made sure I named it properly). -mytext is a text box in the main timeline of the movie in level1. (I set the variable to mytext for this box too). I have tried to use eval("_root._level1.project.height"), but nothing works - the movie's height never shows up in the text box. Debug > List Variables tells me that movieheight is "undefined".
i am trying to change the font property of a textfield in actionscript.

myTextFormat = new TextFormat();

a movie clip symbol is designed and subclassed in Flash, but get instanced and addChild-ed in AS3. It works well as long as I don't change it's width/height property (scaling works too), but if i do, it disappears
