ActionScript 3.0 :: Detect The Class Of A Symbol When Clicked?
Aug 23, 2009
I am trying to create a simple drag and drop Flash program where a user can drag xmas ornaments onto a tree. Instead of being able to drag the ornament once, I want a function so that every time an ornament is clicked on, it adds a new ornament of the same class to the stage where the ornament is clicked. Currently I have this working but there is one problem. It is not dynamic. Looking in the "drag" function, I have chosen the class "Symbol31" as the default ornament that gets added. Instead, I want the ActionScript to read the class of the ornament that was clicked on and to add that class, not "Symbol31" everytime.
Code:
public class DragDrop extends MovieClip
{
private var originalX:Number;
[Code]....

is there some way to detect when an animated symbol, inside a "character sprite" (i.e. a character symbol with labeled frames like "walk" and "attack", each represented by a nested symbol containig the appropriate animation), reaches its end? Could i possbly use instance names when the character sprite contains loads of different symbols? Could every symbol have the same instance name? That sounds kind of unsafe. Is there some kind of universal "child" command i could use?[code]

Version: CS3, Flash AS3.
I want to detect whether the mouse has been clicked outside of a sprite (ie. a mouse click event anywhere on the screen except the sprite).
The idea is that you click outside an activated sprite to deactivate it. This is how menus and comboboxes function, but I can't see any way of doing it in actionscript.

I'm loading some text from a xml into flash. Now for each piece of text needs to be a Click event. So if i click on xmlData.location1 i need to go to the info about location1. If I click on xmlData.location2 i need to go to the info about location two. See code blow.
Code:
public function HotelLocations(){
LocationsLoader.load(new URLRequest("hotellocations.xml"));
LocationsLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

i need to know if there's a way to lock button symbols in a specific state once users click them? i have a series of 34 buttons, and they all contain an animated movieclip in their "over" state. problem is when i click on one, they play the "over" state very briefly again before my event happens, and it looks funky. any way to make it so once u click it, it stays in "down" state? i know using movieclips instead of buttons will resolve the problem but i'd like to know if there's a way to do it without converting them all to movieclips,

allow the user to clip a button and then place a sybmol (either movie clip or graphic) where the user clicks. I would like to use AS2. The project is simply to label a supply and demand curve graph and user needs to plot, or place points wherever they want on the canvas.

Library symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.

have one mc called mc1, and when the mouse cursor is over it, mc2 is sent to a certain frame and the _alpha set to 0. The problem I have is that when the user continued with the onPress (pressing the left mouse button) after the cursor goes outside of that mc1, mc2 does not become invisible and what I need is to do that, when the user goes out with the cursor of the mc1, the mc2 becomes invisible even if the left button of the mouse is pressed. And now don't detect the onRollOut if the button of the mouse is pressed.

I have a spark datagrid with selectionMode="multipleRows".
I have three columns in the datagrid. I don't want the row selection to happen when the user's click falls on the third column of a row.
The row selection should happen only when one of the first two columns is clicked. How do I achieve this? There is a selectionChanging event for the datagrid, but the GridSelectionEvent object received in the handler does not seem to provide any information about the column on which the click happened.

I use two classes for my current project, a document class and a menuscreen class. I have a function in my document class called startGame that i want to run from the menuscreen class when a button is clicked. I'm nearly there but i'm getting an error when i try to run it: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1. The error is at line 17 in the menuscreen class, the line that tries to run the function from the document class. I don't understand what kind of argument it wants. Also, i'm not sure if the startGame function should be (event:Event) Hope someone can enlighten me on what's wrong!

I have a simple progress bar symbol (ProgBar) in the library of main.fla. If I don't define a class and allow Flash to assign a placeholder class of ProgBar, then the symbol displays ok using progBar = new ProgBar();addChild(progBar); If I define a class, even the basic empty version below, I get the following error: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property percent_txt on ProgBar. at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren() at flash.display::Sprite() at flash.display::MovieClip()
Class code:
package { import flash.display.*; import flash.text.*; public class ProgBar extends MovieClip { public function ProgBar(): void { } }}
percent_txt is a text field I've given an instance name to. If I delete the text field (or its instance name) the error changes to reference the next item in the symbol and so on until there are none left!

I have a class called "playerClass" which I want to create multiple players from. I have made a movie clip symbol called "soldierOrange" and exported it for actionscript.

I am importing multiple class instances into my document class. They are buttons that I want to load larger images when clicked. The problem I have is that I don't know how to tell class instance was clicked to load the appropriate larger image.
this is how I am importing the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
package {
public class DocumentClass extends MovieClip {
private var myProj:Content;
[Code]....
I worked with trying to assign myProj.name but I understand in AS3 that isn't the best way to go about this. I also worked with trying to populate an array but I wasn't sure how to get the addEventListener to work when one of the class instances in the array was clicked.

Im just learning classes and objects.... and read that a movie clip is (or has) a movie clip class... So I'd figure that buttons and graphic symbols also are classes? If yes, why are they called 'symbols' instead of 'classes' by Flash dialog?

If I've already specified in the symbol's package which class the symbol's class extends, do I still need to specify the base class in the symbol properties dialog?

I am making a platforming game for an assignment and I have a problem with this bit of code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class PlatformTest extends PlatformManager
[Code].....
All platforms are loaded into this class, and there are currently 2 instances within a Level movieclip. It's kept at 2 for seeing if it works purposes. This code basically gets the y values and x values for all sides which is used for collision detection purposes, loads it into an array, and the array number is incremented.
I'm not exactly sure if this method works or not, and I don't even know if every instance of the symbol is being loaded into the array, but is this code right, if not how do I fix it?

I am currently develoing a flash game and I am trying to spawn 2 different symbols from a class. I have a Class called 'PLayerClass', which contains a variable called 'hero' which I assign a symbol to. This works fine with 1 symbol but I have no idea or if it is possible to assign a different symbol to the variable 'hero'. The 2 symbols are 'soldierOrange' and 'soldierGrey'. For both of these symbols I have matching classes (ie. soldierOrange.as).soldierOrange.as

I am trying to accomplish the following:
In my Library, I would like to have a symbol that I can drag to the stage, and when I compile my flash movie and click on the symbol it plays a certain animation. I would prefer for the animation to be defined in the class rather than sit on the timeline.
I have tried various approaches to this and I keep hitting walls, so instead of running down more blind alleys I figured I'd just ask the question... what is the best approach in flash to accomplish this?

Im having problems with classpaths. I have used them before with "import" but I'm not able to link a class directly to symbol in the library.
I have a class c:/myfolder/src/myclass.as . In prefernces > AS3 settings, I have c:/myfolder/ as default classpath. I click linkage on the symbol and enter src.myclass . When I click the checkmark, it says 'class not found'. I am able to do: *import src.myclass; and attach the class to an instance on th stage. That works fine, but thats not what I need to do.

Is there a way around this? I don't want to do either of the following:
Make AvSkin extend MovieClip.
