i have this code snippet that i originally got from the snippet library, but i'm applying it to a new document. i made a square and converted it to a symbol, then gave an instance name of myMovieClip. i put this actionscript code in the first frame with it:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keymoving);
function keymoving(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{

I'm using flash and the error message "Constructor functions must be instance methods." appears for the following code:
invsibleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest [URL]New to action script coding.
I am follwoing a tutorial on linda.com about creating a website in Flash everything was going well until i started trying to copy the action script in the online examples now I keep getting this error message and can't figure out how to get rid of it:

I am being told that this error takes place on Line 3, which is blank. I can not figure out what the problem could possibly be.

Im new to AS3.[code]I have above code in a movieclip which i have Exported as a Class.But when i run it says "Constructor functions must be instance methods".
View 4 RepliesI 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:

I am going through the book gameprogramming university and checked to make sure my code matched.

I'm having a problem using superclass constructor with arguments. I've searched all over for the solution and found some really useful advice. Problem is i;ve followed it and it doesn't work... not for me anyway. So i've learned that you need to callthe super constructor in the subclass' constructor to avoid this error. problem is, this code still gets the same error....

I have an image gallery with thumbnails and a previous button and next button. "nextPrevPosition:Number" starts out with the value of 0 and increases or decreases by 1 every-time the previous or next buttons are pressed. The thumbnails assign a value when those are pressed:
Quote:
private var nextPrevPosition:Number = 0;
private var currentPort:MovieClip;
private var POSITION:Array;
[Code].....
all works fine except when NextPrevPosition reaches the original value 0...and this is when I get the error message. It looks like the line "currentPort = new(POSITION[nextPrevPosition] as Class)(); is when it is happening.
I am receiving said message on an actionscript-only project. I tried to reduce the application to a nonsensical example:

2. drop, released.
3. duplicate movieclip appears in the ORIGINAL position from where the original movieclip was picked up.

Seriously, wtf is wrong with that code? My error says closeListener is not defined when I click my close button. It also says that about every other function is not defined when I try to access them through a frame on the Stage (the code above is in an mc).
I've been trying out a platform game and am focusing on the shooting aspect of it from a tutorial through youtube, the person doing the tutorial never explains the errors they fix between videos. I received an Error 1013 and I just can't figure it out, even looking at other codes.Line 29 is the issue.

No idea what I'm doing wrong here, it just won't let me access any of my public methods on my class. I just keep getting "Error 1180: call to a possibly undefined method"!
If I run the same function in the constructor of the class everything is fine.
