I am trying to create a reusable class. documentation says to use as package name the directory structure.
in directory C:JJGFlashSourceRF
i have a class in a package called "package
C.JJG.FlashSource.RF {"
in my test flash file I have "import C.JJG.FlashSource.RF;"
I also tried import JJG.FlashSource.RF;
I'm trying to make the code below reusable. I need multiple toggle buttons in my flash project. Right now the code below works on one button. If I continue and create more buttons, and follow the format below, I would need to create separate functions for each button.
I would like to put the reusable code in a separate ActionScript file and not in the FLA file. I am trying to put the rolloverToggle, rolloverToggle, and toggleClick in a class that I'm making.[code]...
I need to create slideshow for gallery. And one thing that i don't know is how to create reusable components. For example i want to create 3 components ImageLoader, Dock(that consist drom ImageLoaders) and SlideShow(that consists from Dock and ImageLoaders).
ImageLoader it is a container which loads image and while it loading showing some animation
Dock it is a container wich have few of ImageLoaders, it used to create Dock of thumbs images to chose.SlideShow it is a container wich have few of ImageLoaders, it used to preload images to ImageLoaders and the change them on mouse click.I need that all of this components was accessible fom action script, so i can create new instances of them.
Example code:
im1 = new ImageLoader('../im1s.jpg');
im2 = new ImageLoader('../im2s.jpg');
dock = new Dock(new Array(im1,im2));
ss = new SlideSHow(new Array(im1,im2),dock);
ss.init();
I've been working on a framework in AS3 that I want to release, but first I obviously need to prepare some documentation for it.I've noticed that quite a few sites have the exact same layout, functionality etc as Adobe Livedocs, which has let me to believe that there's something open source out there for creating online documentation.
Ideally the system would be specifically suited for documentation in ActionScript 3. I don't have a requirement in terms of the documentation being automatically generated either - if there's something out there that looks/works nice I'm happy to manually create the documentation (provided it comes with tools for easily adding classes, arguments, etc).
I have been working on creating a package of reusable code for myself. I frequently create projects that have a set of panels, which I re-skin for each particular project, and each panel has its own body of functionality.There are about 10 different panels that could be used in a given project, but not each panel is used in every project. Some projects use 5, some use 8, some 10 etc. My problem is that when migrating the panels to a new project, I don't nessicarily want to have every single panel in the library with appropriate exports etc. if it's not going to be used in the project.
For example
PHP Code:
package panelPack {public class Main extends MovieClip{public function Main(){}public function activatePanel1():void{var panel1:Panel1 = new Panel1();}public function activatePanel2():void{var panel1:Panel1 = new Panel2();}public function acti
[code]...
Then I have something like a config class that would have code like this:
PHP Code:
activatePanel1();activatePanel3();activatePanel5();
Then each class is something like this, referencing a library item that is exported:
PHP Code:
package panelPack {public class Panel1 extends Panel{public function Panel1(){var closeButton:SimpleButton = this.closeB;var submitButton:SiimpleButton = this.submitB;..........}}}
I don't have to have panel1, panel2.....panel10 in the library if i'm only activating 1, 3, and 5!If i don't have those items in the library i get all kinds of undefined properties buttons etc. Everything that in the MC that gets exported.
I've been trying to clean and organize my code as much as possible lately and I'm wondering what the best way is to create documentation that resembles the professional ASDocs.

i'm writing pure ActionScript, without MXML, to create AIR applications.
when i try to reference the documentation by Command + Clicking on code (in this case i Command + Clicked on "Sprite") i receive the following error[code]...
As the title says - is it possible to document my ActionScript packages / namespaces using the ASDoc comments and the included asdoc command line tool?
View 1 RepliesI know that I can get info about constants, methods, etc of a class by using flash.utils.describeType. But I want to know if I can retrieve the asdoc comments of a class member.
I suspect, documentation is removed when classes are compiled into SWF so it might be impossible to get comments during run-time.
I'm having some problems importing a class, the message that Flash gives me is this; The class being compiled, 'ImageLoader', does not match the class that was imported, '[URL]'. The only line of code in my flash movie is this: import com.martijndevisser.*; And yes, the class is in that folder The class is from here: [URL] I've used the class before and it works fine, I just dont know what to do?

I'm new to Flash AS3. I started making a game and I am a bit confused. Let's assume that I want to create a game that has multiple levels/modes, how can I do this in an object orientated way?
When i create games in other languages e.g. XNA C#, i create a separate class then create an object of that class within the main class and run the game based on a simple statement.

I'm not allowed to import classes into other classes but I am not sure how to achieve what I want. I want 2 custom classes to pass data one from another directly. I have 2 custom classes I want to use: one extends the XMLSocket Class:
class Game extends XMLSocket {
import XMLParser //not allowed to do this I know!
var parser:XMLParser = new XMLParser();[code]....
As I say I realise I am not allowed to import the parsing class into my Game class (or any class for that matter) but I don't know how to pass data directly between these two classes without referencing them in the main FLA.
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.

When I tried to import an Illustrator CS5 file into Flash CS5, I got an error from Windows saying that the program "stopped working" and it was searching for solutions to the problem. When it found no solutions, it said that it had to close the program. I've tried three times now and the same thing keeps happening.

I even tried importing the whole flash XML package, just to see if it resolved the issue. ( import flash.xml.*; ), needless to say, it didnt. So then I deleted the imported Illustrator group and what do you know.. my Flash file compiled without any issues, no XML errors..

View 19 RepliesI am using external AS files for a new project of mine, which involved creating a place to draw so i used the following tutorial to get a basic idea of what is need. I got the hope application working and running smoothly until i decided i wanted to add in a preloading & Menu - putting the drawing part of the app on the third frame - which got me this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
- at Main/convertToBMD()
- at Main()
So I thought instead of adding the Main.as to the Class under properties i would import the file on the frame instead. Using:
var main:Main = new Main();
addChild(main);
This worked apart from it loses all connections to the instance names.
Line 64 1120: Access of undefined property pencil.
Line 65 1120: Access of undefined property eraser.
Line 65 1120: Access of undefined property txt.
Line 82 1120: Access of undefined property board.
Line 83 1120: Access of undefined property board.
Etc.....
So what i would like to know, is there a better way of doing this and getting it working on any frame?By changing something in the external script or another way of importing onto frame?
I downloaded a sample flash that contains a class file.When try to run the file get the "1172: Definition be.nascom.flash.graphics:Rippler could not be found." error. Rippler is the name of the file and I think be.nascom.flash.graphics is the authors directory structure. I think the error is because the file is not in the right location that Flash is expecting it to be in to find it.
View 7 RepliesA very weird problem is happening in my AS3 code.I made a custom class called test, and in the main document class I imported it using "import test". Also, I set the class path correctly so it should work fine. Now, the problem is, when I instantiate this class to an object, it works fine as long as it is outside the document class constructor, it i try to use it inside the constructor method, it doesnt work!

I've been using Flash for a couple of years now... I use it mostly for designing fashion graphics (!!!). I know that Illustrator is excellent for creating artwork, I export Flash files as AI ones, but encounter numerous errors while opening such files in Illustrator. I think the problem is with the Color settings. Flash uses RGB, and CMYK is Illustrator's default settings. When I try to export a graphic symbol (with layers, groups of objects and simple shapes) from Flash Professional as an AI file, it always exports as Illustrator 6.0 version (wonder why)...
Then I try to open this file in Illustrator CS2 and always get a "BG" error message which is similar to this one:
Can't open illustration. The illustration doesn't have the correct number of operands for an operator.
Offending operator: "Bg"
Contex:
Bb
0000 Bh
1.0.0.000819.20.....etc. (lots of figures)...Bg
So after getting such a message and pressing "OK" there are 2 possible results:
1. The program (Illustrator CS2) opens a blank artboard (stage) with absolutely NO objects or symbols on it.
2. The program opens an incomplete graphic on the artboard (stage) with many missing objects and shapes (say, if I exported a graphic with 2 layers, the top layer will be missing).
Unfortunately, these are the most common results....Though a few days ago I hkept several AI files open and tried to export an AI file made in Flash. To my greatest surprise Illustrator could open the file with absolutely everything I exported from Flash! Except for Bitmap fills, of course....But everything else was just perfect! I was amazed no end! What settings should I have in order to be able to open AI files exported from Flash? If I got it once, it means it is possible to open such files... I have to use Illustrator more often now, and I need my artwork to be covered to AI files without significant modifications or corrections... Is it doable?
I've been working on an AS3 application and it's nearing completion. At the same time, one of the designers I work with has been building a movieclip in a separate .fla that acts as an intro animation to the application. The intro uses the 3D motion tweening capabilities of Flash CS4 / Player 10, and runs fine in the .fla in which it was built. The problem is that when I import the movieclip into the main .fla for the application, when I dynamically instantiate the movieclip and add it to the stage, I get a barrage of the following runtime error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property null not found on fl.motion.KeyframeBase and there is no default value.
at fl.motion::KeyframeBase/getValue()
at fl.motion::MotionBase/getValue()
at fl.motion::Animator3D/setTime3D()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase/set time()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase$/processCurrentFrame()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase$/parentEnterFrameHandler()
I'm guessing just based on the number of errors like this that I receive that there's one per keyframe in the tweening movieclip. I've checked to ensure that the Flash publish settings are identical across the two .fla files, and although the stage sizes differ slightly, I don't think that's the issue here.
