ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A New Instance Of A Loader Each Time?

Sep 26, 2009

I dont know wheather to create a new instance of a loader each time:

var loader:Loader;
someFunction(){
loader = new Loader();

Second question is (if I use the second way) why do I need to unload the loader before calling load again? (otherwise I get an error)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create New Instance() When Instance Is A Variable?

Feb 12, 2012

I have a base class I've used on 6 different MC's. Then when I use these MC's my function runs an if statement to check which one to add.

if(id=design) var obj = new design();
if(id=team) var obj = new team();

I want to make it a bit more dynamic and use the id:String to evaluate which new instance to create.

ActionScript Code:
public function loadChapter(id:String):void {
var obj = new instance_of( id )();
}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Unload More Than One Instance Of Loader?

Dec 11, 2009

I have created 20 thumbnails using a for loop.

On each loop an instance of the loader class is created and an image shown from an xml file.

I want to unload these images (so they no longer use memory) at the click of a button.

I tried putting thumbLoader.unload(); into a new for loop but it only removes the last thumbnail. How can I get rid of them all.

Also how do I reference these loader instances in general?, using thumbLoader only allows me to talk to the last of the thumbnails created?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Instance With Custom Properties?

Oct 14, 2009

Through searching the various forums I have found that Loaders are not dynamic and hence you can not apply custom properties to each instance of them. I miss the old way (as2 way of attachingMovieClip) that you load dynamic content, at least you can apply custom properties, and you can always reference them for each object.What I'm trying to do is load a group of Images via XML. Each one of those images have a set of information that is associated with them (name, description, etc). I have the images loading in and positioning just fine, however when trying to have a tooltip show the name on Mouse Over, I'm not able to achieve this.

In short. I want to be able to store information for each item so that I can access it. Is there a way to do this in AS3 with a Loader or is there another route I can go? If I do this with Arrays, how do I store the Index of the specific item so I can use that in reference to the position in each array?** Should I use getChildIndex() in the function for the Event Listener to reference the data stored in the arrays for each item? If so, how do I do so? ***

PHP Code:
num = 0;var titleArray:new Array();function createImage(){ var thumb:Loader = new Loader; thumb.load(new URLRequest(url);

ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Loader Class Instance And Assigning Values

Oct 6, 2011

I have a small issue with instantiation of an xml loader class. I'm using a standard way of loading external data and assigning it to "myXML" variable. My class uses event.COMPLETE for loader to make sure that data is fully loaded. Everything works fine until I make an instance of this variable in to my Main() class. The trace of "myXML" gives me null. It's like it didn't assign data on time. Since the onComplete event handler should take care of any delays it is hard for me to figure this out.

ActionScript 3.0 :: External Assets - Multiple Loader Sprite Instance

Jul 27, 2010

I'm loading some external assets with the Loader class. I've done this a lot over the years, but seem to be coming across a problem I haven't had before. I want to display two instances on the stage at the same time of a .png I'm loading externally. If I use the Loader instance's contentLoaderInfo.content object in more than one sprite, the bitmap just "moves" from the first instantiated sprite to the second. I've tried duplicating the sprite with Senocular's duplicateDisplayObject class, but for some reason, it's not working right. But shouldn't I be able to use multiple instances of an imported bitmap like this just as if it were in the library of the .fla? If so, what do I need to do?

Flash :: "Instance Name At Design Time" Vs "Instance Name Added Dynamically" Vs "Variable Name In Related Class"

Nov 4, 2011

Say i have a movieclip named a_Mc ( ClassA ) I have a sub-movieclip named b_Mc ( ClassB )

CASE 1: Accessing the sub-movieclip b_Mc which is already present inside the a_Mc movieclip

( Since Flash IDE has "Automatic instance naming" OFF )

ClassA mentions the name of b_Mc as => var b_Mc:MovieClip;

NOTE HERE: That the variable name MUST BE same as the name of the instance on stage.

So i can access it as : trace( a_Mc.b_Mc);

ActionScript 3.0 :: SoundPlayer - Accessing Instance In Class Second Time

Oct 7, 2009

I'm with a doubt that is crashing my project over here.
Example: I have my class....

Code:
package {
public class SoundPlayer extends CheckVersion{
public static var saveId:Object = {};
public function SoundPlayer($url, $vars):void{
trace(saveId[$url]) // here the class return to me the first call
[Code] .....

If I access SoundPlayer.Init(), I pass my URL and my variables, I got the first access, but for example, when I save this variables on my constructor and want to access again with a different call, the flash output returns like "null", like... SoundPlayer.PlayInit("myId");
take a look bellow

Code:
public static function PlayInit($url :String):SoundPlayer {
trace(SoundPlayer.saveId[$url] as SoundPlayer);
return SoundPlayer.saveId[$url] as SoundPlayer;
}
How I can access this variables in second time?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A Custom Class (Testing) That Would Create A Box When An Instance Of The Class Is Created

Aug 29, 2007

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.

Otherwise is there a way to pass the image content off in such a way that it will remain loaded if the loader is used to load other images?

Actionscript :: Create An Image Up-loader On Flash?

Nov 4, 2009

I have been looking over the internet for a while about this, but it doesn't seem like there is any information available specifically related to captcah and flash.

My purpose is to create an image up-loader on flash, and implement "recaptcha" on it, so the upload is controlled.

I know that some people will say, "well you can't automatize flash input so you don't need captcha in this situation" even though this is somewhat true, there is still screen macro programs that could potentially make the computer upload hundreds of pictures if there is not something in place to avoid it.

I thought of implementing my own captcha but that seems to me like i would be reinventing the wheel, can anyone point me on the right track for this? or suggest another approach to avoid abuse on my image up-loader flash?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Loader From Event Object?

I'm listening for a Loader to COMPLETE loading, and then I jump to a handler function "thumbLoaded". I would like to create a new Loader obj. each time I enter the "thumbLoaded" function. I would like this new Loader to be equal to the Loader that triggered the COMPLETE event. But I don't know the correct syntax to refer to that Loader. I'm trying to refer to the "parent" of the contentLoaderInfo object (ie, the Loader object itself). I've tried both "target.parent" and "currentTarget.parent".

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Create Bitmap Of Loader Content And Resize It

Mar 10, 2010

I am loading a fairly large image file and want to create a bitmap of the loader content. I want to then use this Bitmap and resize it according to the current dimension of the stage. However, I also want to keep the loader content as "originally loaded" as a reference in case the stage is resized and the user wants to view this particular image again. The way my AS is written as of now, I am manipulating the loader content. How do I not do this? How do I "copy" the loader content so I can manipulate the bitmap copy while leaving the loader content unaltered?

<AS>
var lightboxImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
function resizeLightbox():void{
lightboxImage = myLoader.content;
lightboxImage.width = myLoader.content.width;
lightboxImage.height = myLoader.content.height;
