Is there a way of determining if one interface extends another? ie if IA extends IB then passing in to a method like this will return true
ActionScript Code:
function checkInheritance(TargetClass:Class, CheckClass:Class):Boolean
{
// return TargetClass implements CheckClass;
}
it possible to create a button in flash that when clicked the flash interface extends to fit fullbrowser?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to load a RSL library into a flash animation developed with Flash CS5 IDE, that extends a custom class and implements an interface. I have reduced the problem to the simplest setup and find that I can have my main class extend another class or implement an interface, but not do both at the same time if I want to load an RSL.I have a very simple class to extend:
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MySprite extends Sprite
{[ code]...........
but if I want both I get the VerifyError: Error #1014 with MySprite not found and ReferenceError: Error #1065.
I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

i came across this problem and i have no clue why it's happening. basically, consider 2 nested movieclips on the stage, something like stage -> main -> filler. both movieclips have instance names (main and filler).
[Code].....
this throws an error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property filler through a reference with static type A. can anyone give me a hint on that, as it works with class A, but not B extending A? i understand it was meant to work?
i seem to have trouble finding on the internet what happends when one interface extends another interface.

I have a container_mc that loads in a external MovieClip, lets call it video1.swf using the MovieClipLoader class (it actually contains a video of a 180sx drifting but thats neither here or there). What I'm trying to figure out, is a way to find out when this externally loaded clip terminates, then preload and then display another clip, called video2.swf. I call my preloader and load my external clips into the MCL class using a version I learnt in Senoculars preloader tutorials here [URL]

View 3 RepliesI have an swf loaded into my main swf. So far I can get a button in the loaded swf, to link to a frame in my main swf. However, how can I let my main swf know when the loaded swf has finished playing?Here is my code so far:
Code:
stop();
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("dylanTalking1.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
But it does not seem to work.
normally the sound.length property is only accessibleafter the sound has finished downloading.I have heard there is an algorithm that can determine thesound.length property before an mp3 has finished downloading, or atleast approximate it very closely

I'm working on a new website it's going to show a room & I think it would be kinda cool if this room had a window in in that outside showed the current local weather and portrayed day/night. I can make a script to check the weather on yahoo but I cant find a way of finding out the users location. It does't need to be exact, even just having the country will do.
View 2 RepliesI have a series of movieclips acting as buttons that load different flashvars video srcs onto the stage.When the swf loads --- the first button is added to the stage after a 20 sec Timer completes.As you click through each button, the one just CLICKED is removed and a new button is added in its place.All the buttons are set to dynamically be centered on the stage. However, the function that is positioning them is called BEFORE the first button is on stage, throwing the error (Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.)here is the code inside of the windowResize method which positions the buttons.
Code: Select allprivate function onWindowResize(e:Event):void
{
//position hidden buttons[code].....
Even though I've set up a boolean var and set it to true after the first button has been added to the stage -- the method still tries to find the first button and gives me a error saying that it must be non-null.Basically I want to make sure that it doesn't try and position the first button before it has been added to the stage. I'm not sure if encapsulating this method inside of another Timer is a good idea.

View 1 Repliesi have to create something that loads text dynamically and then you can input words and it determines if that word is in that dynamically loaded text. I have to output a statement for three different reasons.
1. If the word is not found
2. If the word is found
3. If the word is found, but it's not the same (Ex. You enter hello but the word in the text is Hello)
I have it all working for the moment using functions etc....but the one thing I am unsure about is how to determine whether the character is uppercase or lowercase or maybe there is another possible way so that I can print out the 3rd reason from about.(telling the difference from hello and Hello.)
The whole thing is based off a tutorial I found here: [URL]
just got rid of the find next button and added an output msg box.
...How do you do this? I'm gunning for <65 kb and need to figure out if my published swf will meet this goal. Is there a window or something (maybe a 3rd party tool) to let me know what the initial download size of my swf is?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to solve what seems to be pretty basic task. However, I was unable to find a solution. how can I determine if the mouse is already over a certain object? The this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver); doesn't work because it will fire only what the mouse moves over from not being over. I'm trying to be able to tell if the mouse is over even without moving mouse, something like "this.isMouseOver()". Is it possible with some generic command without comparing the coordinates of the mouse and the object?
View 7 Replies- I have an array of ~200 buttons. - Each button pulls individual info from a file online:
/routes/801/
/routes/802/
/routes/803/
...- My pseudocode looks something like this:
Code:
var myURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/routes/"+butNum);
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, infoLoaded);
[Code]....
My problem is this: Let's say the user clicks 5 buttons. Since data doesn't load immediately, I can't assume infoLoaded is being called in the same sequence in which the user clicks the buttons, but I need to know which file just loaded. Is there a property I can get from ev:Event so it'll give me the URL I used to load myURLLoader?

View 3 RepliesThe request has been to modify the first item by including an FLV player. This I've done and have working without flaw.My trouble arises when users select any of the other 4 tabs and then attempt to return to the first tab where they should see a transition into the playing FLV. This is not happening after the initial load. It's been quite awhile since I've worked with AS but I figure this issue should be able to be resolved if I inject a condition to determine what item is selected.
The AS for the "accordian" is:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
This isn't working. In fact, it seems to be skipping the initial condition if(t == "welcome"). If the nave is determined within the var navs:Array, how then can one determine the selected location?

View 1 RepliesI have a graphical component and I am trying to obtain it's coordinates relative to the stage by using the localToGlobal or contentToGlobal methods.
My problem is when scrolling a Container, these methods do not return the correct values, but return the old unshifted coordinates of the graphical component. Later, after everything seems stable, when trying to use the methods they return correct value so this means at the time where I use them after scrolling not all information necessary in computing have been commited.
For the case of the Container class I have investigated and although it passes through the scrollChildren method, the computation is wrong.For the case of the Tree component when scrolling with the wheel, the methods return correct value, but when pressing the arrow button of the scroll-bar the methods return incorrect value.
Until now I have tried to listen the scroll and the update complete events when they are dispatched but without any success. So my problem is that after scrolling I would need to know a moment(event to be listened or something else) that I can call the methods and the output to be ok.I would like the final solution to be uniform.
This thumbnail loader has been the bane of my existence for the past several days. I finally have the images loading in correctly from the XML through an Array.
However, I can NOT for the life of me get them to load with equal distance from one another that corresponds with the varying image widths.
