View 1 RepliesParents Won't Stop Having Children
Nov 10, 2009ok, my Digital arts class is making a flash project, and im like the only one actually making a game, so im pretty much alone. i got a lot of help from the people on the AS3 forum, but im pretty sure that my question is too easy to put there. so, i have an array, and it basicly puts a spike on the screen at a random Y, and moves it across the screen, but, when i hit a spike, and ti goes to the you lose screen, the loop keeps adding children, and putting them on the screen, is it possible to just say stop adding children, and go to the next frame? i have a break, but when i stop colliding with the spike in the next frame, the spikes start coming again. also, can i totally reset the movie? cause when i just go to frame 1, the array plays itself ontop of itself and it gets twice as hard

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parents Listening For Events
Jan 25, 2009what the most efficient method is for listening for events up and down a string of parents and children? Example:
(these are parents from left to right) Main Sprite -> Child A -> Child B -> Child C
Child C fires and Event - what's the best way to have Main Sprite listen for it?
1) Make Child B and C "public" so Main Sprite can attach a listener all the way down on C (_childA._childB._childC.addEventListener)
2) Child C's event triggers a Child B event that triggers a Child A event that Main Sprite listens for
ActionScript 3.0 :: Swapping Parents During An Event
Feb 17, 2009I basically have a large bar of items that fills up dynamically, they are all added to a dispCont movieclip as a container. When you click on one it gets pulled to the front, scales up and I want all the unselected Items to blur or become semi transparent. So i figured i could just tween the dispCont object, however this affects whatever is brought to the front, so i want to switch that into a new MovieClip called centerCont. Here is the code, ive been trying different things, I could just use a little input.[code]when I click on it because i am trying to set event.target.parent = centerCont;otherwise, uncommented and that removed i get Code:1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Mar 5, 2011Seems simple and I've searched but can't find the answer to this simple problem.
Loading map-.swf into main.swf. I want to use a variable from main inside map-1 to indicate which xml file to load.
First problem, I'm coming to AS3 and if a variable isn't declared, then errors, can't compile. So do I have to declare this variable in both swf files?
And well I've tried declaring the variable in the loaded swf and it still doesn't work.[code]...

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Changing The Symbol Associated With An Object?
Feb 15, 2009I'm coming to AS3 from Director Lingo. In Lingo, a 'sprite' is vaguely equivalent to an object in AS3 and a 'cast-member' roughly corresponds to an AS3 library symbol. In Lingo I make a lot of use of lines likesprite("image").member = 25which changes on the fly the cast-member associated with a sprite, giving an instant image change when the user drags a dial, for example. This is particularly useful because the cast members in Lingo can be addressed by their sequence numbers as well as their names (giving a sort of implicit array addressing).In AS3 I can't see how to replace an image object with another image (not just a simple variation of the original). And even if I could do that, I can't see how to get the pseudo array addressing facility which I need to allow me to choose by code what image from perhaps several hundred will do the replacing.I guess what I'm asking for is maybe contrary to simple OOP.

Actionscript 3 :: Inheriting Constructor Arguments From Parents
Apr 14, 2012I'm making a game in action script 3. In it, I have an actor class from which player and enemy classes will be derived. I'm doing this so that unless I need to provide specific AI or fancy behavior (such as for bosses), I can just make a new clip in the library for each enemy without making an actionscript file.
However, I've run into a problem.
Whenever I try to pass arguments to the construction of an enemy (make it spawn with more health), I get error 1136 (Incorrect number of arguments.)
This is because the constructor created automatically at runtime doesn't have the same arguments as it's parent class. Is there any way to get around this without making a class file where I copy and paste the parent constructor function for each of my hundreds of enemies?
Java :: Can Maven Projects Have Multiple Parents
Oct 28, 2009we have java and flex projects at work. We currently have 1 base pom that contains the configurations we want to use for both projects. Problem with this is: flex projects inherit configuration for javadoc and pmd for example, which they do not want.
I want to do this a bit more clean and have a real base-pom and then a java-base-pom and a flex-base-pom. But how does this work in a multimodule that has both a flex part and a java part?
We have plugins to our own application where we use the following structure:
my-plugin
my-plugin-client (flex)
my-plugin-server (java)
The my-plugin just contains a pom.xml with section. I would use the my-plugin pom.xml as a parent to both, but then I cannot also use the java base-pom or the flex base-pom also as parent.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Any Way To Target MovieClip Other Than Using Multiple Parents?
Apr 25, 2004I have several buttons on an externally loaded swf that work fine but I'd like to clean up the code if possible. Is there an better way to target the mc other than using multiple _parents?
Code:
on (rollOver) {
_parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent.expression.gotoAndStop (2);
} on (rollOut) {
_parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent._parent.expression.gotoAndStop (1);
}
The thing is I am not exactly sure if this mc is going to remain an external swf or if it will eventually stand alone, which is why I haven't targeted the root at its level. I'd like it to work either way if possible.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Visible Children With Invisible Parents?
Mar 27, 2009This may well just be because it can't be done but here goes.Does anyone know of a way that I can make a MoviecClip "visible=false" whilst stopping just one of its children's, children's, children...etc from also going invisible.I am aware that it can be done by setting them all individually but this will take a lot of code (and I like tidy code...and I'm lazy), and I am reluctant to use a loop as it will interrupt the animation that is going on at the time.

Nov 17, 2009This is my first post. I'm new to actionscript, but not to programming. I hope to learn a lot from these forums. To the point: I decided a few days ago that I wanted to create a flash game. I'm taking an object-oriented approach to the game design since that is what I know. The issue I am having is that I have a class called Hero that inherits from a class called Entity. Now my issue is that I don't want Hero to call the Entities class constructor when I initialize a new Entity.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Object Properties With Code?
Apr 21, 2011For the first stage, I was able to build a walk-through demo in flash pro by creating buttons that when clicked caused the flash to change to different frames. easy enough. Now for the final part of this project, I need to make the interface fully interactive, as I was trying before. ie: you can click any button and lights go on and off or a loop counter increments, etc. Since there is logic involved and too many permutations to do a frame for each possible state, I'm back to trying to do this in an object oriented way. I've got some test code here.

protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
debugger has some errors, so i don't know what exactly it will do. the errors are at the last two if statements where i'm trying to change the object property setting of the label. there is another error at the last curly bracket.
the idea is that there are two labels and a button. the first label starts out visible. when the button is clicked, a counter is checked, and incremented, then the counter is again checked and the appropriate label has it's visible property set to true. the intent is that in a list of several labels, pressing the button scrolls down them, until you press while on the last, which resets the counter and the first label becomes the visible one.
