Actionscript 3 :: Class Extending Sprite - Set The Sprite's Width And Height Properties?
Mar 5, 2010I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweening - X And Y Properties Of Sprite Producing Jumpy Results
Feb 10, 2010I'm trying to make a textfield inside a sprite zoom upon mousing over the sprite. I'm instantiating tweens on the x, y, scaleX, and scaleY properties of the sprite. The x and y tweens are needed due to the top left registration. Also, the tweens are added to an array to ensure they finish. Sometimes it works as I intended, but when I mouse over from the bottom right corner, the sprite jumps haphazardly towards the top left and back until I mouse out, instantiating another set of tweens to return the sprite to it's original state. I'm not sure what to do other than using a custom tweening engine such as Tweener. I'm using the built in tweening classes and I'm hoping to find a solution within these parameters.

Oct 15, 2009Through 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Right Click Custom Menu Over A Sprite?
Feb 8, 2009Basically I have lot of text fields that are rendered dynamically, and I want the user to be able to right click on one and edit it.
Is it good practise to use the right-click bring up custom menu on a sprite. And is the method guaranteed to work accross all browsers? Do mac mice have right mouse click buttons?

And if not, what would be a good work around. Maybe bringing up a yahoo astra message box with the two options one for left mouse click, one for right click and edit text field?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Attaching Custom Data To Sprite?
Oct 5, 2009Basiclally a simple thing, however i dont get an idea on how to solve this one:
Say I have a sprite which is already existing during runtime and at some certain point I want to attach some custom data to it, say, in a string.
How would I do that?
s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s["extra"] = .... gives me an error, so i got exactly that far till here.
s.name is already reserved for another string and for sure I thought about just adding a TextField with the string inside to it, like
s.addChild(myStringTf);
But I know there is a better way, I just cant find it. hasOwnProperty() just returns a boolean true in case i match the value already assigned to it, right? Isn't there a way to attach an annonymouse object to it?

Flash :: AS3 - Give DisplayObjects Custom Properties?
Oct 10, 2010I am very new to AS3, and I'm confused about how things that would have been simple in AS2 are so complex and tricky now. For example, I want to create a bunch TextField objects that, for some reason, rise up every frame (as in : object.y-=1; ).However, I also need each TextField to reference the TextField that was created just before it.
I tried creating a variable that would hold such a reference : ThisTextField.Ref=LastTextField; but - this returns an "Access of possibly undefined property..." error. It seems I can only have custom properties on mere Objects ! This is annoying because an Object doesn't seem to accept event listeners (remember, I need them to do something every frame). Is there a way to simply set custom properties on my TextFields, without having to use custom packages ? Or is there a way to use event listeners on Objects ? I've read something about strict mode which could allow setting properties on other objects - what are the risks of turning it off ?

something like:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Cannot Add Custom Methods N Properties To Every Class
Nov 7, 2004In AS2 we can not add methods n properties to built-in classes in the way we do in AS1. Like we would -say- write the custom "isNatural" method on the "Math" class as follows : * The following code is valid in AS1 but not in AS2
[Code]...
As the "Math class" is static internally. We know why we can not add custom methods n properties to every class, as the way we do in AS1. Later I came up with senocular' s very nice tutorial on OOP in AS2. And now i know how we can do it in AS2 style in an efficient n organised way. But i have a problem with the following code. It should not work ! but it does... * Following code is valid for both in AS1 and AS2.

Flex - XMLListCollection Properties In Custom Components Always Null?
Dec 11, 2009I've written the following custom component, SubNavBar.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" height="100" width="300"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
[Code]...
Whenever the trace function runs in init(), the property menuItems returns null. I don't seem to have this problem with other variable types, like Boolean or String. Is this due to the size of the XMLListCollection object? How can I set up this SubNavBar custom component with XMLListCollection property and bind it to a control in the component?

View 1 RepliesFlex :: How To Add Spark List Item Custom Properties
Jan 3, 2011I'm trying to make a simple flash application providing interface for taking tests as a high school assignment. One of the requirements is to use an XML file as data source.Now, having a List component bound to the XML file with questions consisting of data such as question body, question type (ie. single choice, multiple choice, open, image etc.) and possible answers (where applicable), I was wondering if I could add some additional data (and what is the best possible way to do so) to each question upon its transfer to the List component.
I am trying to achieve two main goals with this: firstly, to mark the questions to which an answer has already been given, like with such code in ItemRenderer class:
<s:Label color="{data.color}" text="{data.label}"/>
Where data.color would be set whenever the user gives an answer to a question.
Secondly, while at it, I thought of such possibility as a great way to store answers given to particular questions. In this case, the Class of the answer object would have been Object, since there has to be many type of questions (where the answer could also be a Bitmap for example).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Strict Data Type Custom Object Properties?
Feb 8, 2010I need to create a custom Object that basically stores some custom parameters (properties?), which I have successfully done, and the code below works fine.
PHP Code:
myObject = new Object();
myObject.nameLabel = "New Releases";
myObject.artOrientation = "portrait";
myObject.artAmount = 5;
I find the new compiler and debugger capabilities very useful, since I'm not the most detail-oriented, so I (usually) like that Flash forces me to strict-type my variables and such. Anyway, I was wondering if it's a "best practice" to strict data type a custom objects' properties, and if so, how to do it in the logic above? I kept getting syntax errors when I just tried it initially.
I know if I created a custom Class .AS file, I would be forced to data type the properties... but I'd rather just do it "in-line" in my main .FLA file. Also, I know I can just pass typed VARIABLES to the properties... but I'd rather have the properties strict-typed themselves... so if I try to pass a variable as the wrong type, then I would still get an error.
