ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Custom Class As Object?
Aug 8, 2009
I have written a Class for skinning the UI. The Class works by taking a movie clip name from the stage passed to it and create the skin for it.So I create an Object from the class such as this:
Code:
var CBox:UI = new UI();
Now what I wanted to do is reference a movie clip from the stage to this CBox variable, so when a call the Class methods it will know which movie clip to work on! Since currently I have to do this:
Code:
CBox.Skinning(content_mc, "content", 100, 200);
or
CBox.Over(content_mc);
As you can see Im passing the movie clip, content_mc, everytime. I just want to avoid this by creating a reference.

I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

I am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

I'm new to Flash AS3. I started making a game and I am a bit confused. Let's assume that I want to create a game that has multiple levels/modes, how can I do this in an object orientated way?
When i create games in other languages e.g. XNA C#, i create a separate class then create an object of that class within the main class and run the game based on a simple statement.

I want to create a custom class that will create textfields and return them to other classes, but it seems i cant get it working.First i created this custom class named "FormatText" extending Sprite class.Through constructor parameters i pass all the things i need to create a textfield and at the end i put it on the display list using addChild.If i do by this way and i create an istance of FormatText adding it to the display list, my textfield appears, but the problem is that i don't have full control of it, because this new textfield created is still considerated as FormatText's child, so if i try to change some textfield parameters, nothing happens.
Just an example:
var txt:FormatText = new FormatText(param1, param2, param3, etc.).
addChild(txt).

How do I create a custom event class similar to ActionScript? What I mean by that is a class that I can use to fire off my own events, send the necessary data.
I don't wanna use third-party libraries like YUI or jQuery to do it. My goal is to be able to send a event that looks like this.[code]...

I'd like to learn how to create classes. For instance, I'd like to create a class that draws a custom shape. Like an arrow that is just a rectangle with a triangle on the end. I'd like to be able to do this sort of thing:
myArrow = new Arrow();
myArrow._x = 10;
myArrow._y = 50;
myArrow._width = 100;
etc . . .

For the game I am making, I'm using a self-made sprite managing system.I've got three classes: SpritesManager, SpriteGroup extends Movieclip and Sprite extends Movieclip.The idea is: SpritesManager is holding an object: "mainSprites", SpritesManager also hasa method "newGroup", wich creates a new SpriteGroup in mainSprites.In this way I want to make a system for creating and managing some sort of Movieclip-tree.For example:mainSprites.enemies.badEnemyThe method newGroup in SpritesManager has a param "name" wich is the name of the SpriteGroup to create.Here's where I'm stuck: how do I create a new SpriteGroup referenced to as "name" in mainSprites?

Make a custom preloader for the whole project, in a class, is that possible? Is that a good idea to creat a custom class for the Menu or other components like Background, etc?As I read in the book "Essential ActionScript" it's ok to make custom classes and organize everything, catching the errors in isolated form , turns it easy to manage and update..How to organize the classes?

I've created a custom class to represent a monster in a game. The class definition has "public class Monster extends Object". I'd like to know if there's a way to initialize the object using object literal notation. For example, this works ok:
[Code]...
I get this error: "Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type Monster." Is there a way to do this? I'd rather NOT have to call the Monster's class initializer each time, because in the actual code there are a lot more variables in the monster class than just those three, and it's kinda unwieldy to pass a dozen long strings into the new() function.

I have created some (TextInput, ComboBox, CheckBox) Component instances (created as a public objects) in a Document class and added them to the stage.
Now I have created a custom class for a movieclip in library and instantiated it in the document class (also a public instance).
I need to access the component instances in the custom class. How to do this ?
Also, Is it a good practice to use ENTER_FRAME event frequently ? because if I can't access the above components instances in the custom class then I will be left with no choice but to use ENTER_FRAME event in the document class every time I need to change some value in the components...

new to ActionScript 3 and while I'm trying to write as "clean" code as possible (creating various custom classes instead of everything in the document class for example), sometimes I stumble upon behaviors that would not arise if I had put everything in the same place.I have a project which involves fireworks which is working fine, but I'd like to add a smoke trail to the rockets (a custom class rocket object) and so far I can't get it done.
So I will ask my question first: what methodology do you use in general when you want to make a custom class object leave a trail of particles behind it? Do you include the trail generation in the class? in a separate class? on the document class?what I've been doing (and what I feel is the "cleanest" and most reusable way to do it) is to put the trail generation in the custom class rocket object. This object is just composed of some graphics and the function that generates the particles(which are another custom class).The actual handling of the firing and the movement of the rocket is done by the document class.So the problem I'm having is that when I generate a particle on a frame, if I add it to the rocket object, it follows it (local coordinates), and if I add it to the stage then I can't remove it from within the rocket object...

I am using Flex 4 and for whatever reason I cannot get the following code to work which happens inside of a ListEvent handler for a dataGrid:
_tempRule = DataGrid(event.currentTarget).selectedItem as Rule;
Rule is a custom class, and the above code always returns null. The dataprovider for the datagrid is an ArrayCollection. If I try to wrap the above code to make it like the following:
DataGrid(event.currentTarget).selectedItem as Rule
I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@e15a971 to com.mycompany.arcc.business.Rule
Now I know I have done this before with native Flex classes like Button, etc, but it my case it will not work. Here is the Rule class:
package com.mycompaany.arcc.business {
import flash.utils.describeType;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

I am programming a web based application with Actionscript 2.0 classes for flash 8, and I want to save user data using the local shared object.As the data is potentially rather complex I would prefer to store it in an instance of a custom class that I then stick in an array property of the local shared object data property.However, when I try to do this, if I retrieve the stored object it seems to have lost all its instance methods. If I do a for in on it, I can see the private properties to which I have assigned my data, but as they are private I cannot retrieve them.how I can store an instance of a custom class in a local shared object without it being corrupted in this way?
