ActionScript 3.0 :: Create New Instance() When Instance Is A Variable?
Feb 12, 2012I 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.

Flash :: "Instance Name At Design Time" Vs "Instance Name Added Dynamically" Vs "Variable Name In Related Class"
Nov 4, 2011Say 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);

Aug 29, 2007I'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.

Feb 1, 2010Basically I am having errors when trying to use a variable to set my instance name.
Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var i:Number = 1;
["button"+i].transform.colorTransform=myColorTransform; //doesn't work
button2.transform.colorTransform=myColorTransform;//works
'i' will always carry the button number.
I've tried all the methods I can think of so I am hoping that one of you can give me a hand, if I can figure this out I can probably save a few hundred lines of code in an app I have just started on.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Use A Variable As The Instance Name?
Jun 4, 2008I have a static shopping centre floorplan with movieclips for each unit. There is also a list of the stores fed in from an XML page. When they rollover either the unit on the floorplan or the storename in the list, a little information panel appears for each store. All that's fine.
The problem is I want the corresponding unit to highlight when the text is rolled over and vice versa, but just can't seem to get it to work!!! You would think that would be the easy part. I have a variable - currentunit - which I pass from the onRollover. This is the same as the corresponding instance name of the floorplan unit.
I though I could use something like
[currentunit]gotoAndPlay("_over");
IDE :: Refering To An Instance Name By Variable?
Sep 10, 2009I am trying to create a game in Flash. There are 43 spaces of irregular shape in the game and I already know the X and Y location. I defined them as a class which extends movie clip, I put them on the main timeline to start and I gave them all an instance name. I want to initialize them when I am starting a new game. I defined methods to set and get the properties, those methods work when I use the instance name, but many of the spaces share the same properties. The instance names are all I+some numberm I1, I2, I3. When I try to use a variable name such as space_Id = ("I" + i) to reference the instance name I get an error "Call to a possibly of undefined method. I tried the old actionscript 2 solution of putting an eval function eval (space_id) in front of the method but that didn't work either. It resulted in the same error plus a warning. I1.My_Method (); // works but it would require 20 or so blocks of almost identical code
var space_Id:String = "I1";
space_Id.My_Method (); // doesn't work
_root.space_Id.My_Method (); doesn't work

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use Variable Instead Of Instance Name
Oct 5, 2009Basically, I'm trying to loop through my sub menu buttons to see if they're on a certain frame. My question deals with an if statement inside a for loop:
if (MovieClip(root).subMenu1.currentFrame == "16") {
MovieClip(root).subMenu1.gotoAndStop("out");
}
Is it possible to replace the instance name (subMenu1) with a variable? I tried just replacing it but that didn't work. I also tried adding plus signs around it and that didn't work either.
