var class:Class = getDefinitionByName("Box") as Class;
var box:MovieClip = new class()
*Box is a class that exists inside my library (A movieclip that is exported for actionscript) I have this code in two places: My document class and some other random class. It works in the document class. It fails to work in the other class (I get the error in the title) Both classes extend MovieClip (if that makes any difference) So what's going on here? Do you know the problem with what I'm doing?
If I use an Assignment within conditional, for e.g.
if(userType='admin')
Flex throws a warning,unlike Java, which throws an error.Why should Flex be doing this, despite being one of the newest languages? 1100: Assignment within conditional. Did you mean == instead of =?
If I don't create variables for each class that is in my Library I get a compile time error."ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Car is not defined."So in order to stop this compile time error I have to add a variable for each class which defeats the purpose of been able to keep these names dynamic and in an array. here are my variables for each class
Code:
private var plane : Plane;
private var car : Car;[code]......
Showing error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable slip2 is not defined.

In my FLA I have a movieclip in the Library named "ContentPanel1". I have it's Linkage properties to export on first frame - class "ContentPanel1" and base class flash.display.MovieClip.
In my code I'm trying to attach an instance of this movieclip:
Code:
var instanceClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("ContentPanel1") as Class;
Now, here's the error I get:

One movie, named Gallery_1, with hotpots via which external swfs are loaded into a container mc of the main timeline of the Gallery_1 movie,
Via another button function the Gallery_1.swf is loaded into a container mc on the timeline of the main swf, which works alright as well, but when one then clicks the hotspots of the Gallery_1.swf one gets following error message:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable GallerySite not defined.
at HotSpot1/PictureLoad()
at HotSpot1/PictureCall()
[code]....
The traces in the eventHandler function work alright.I wildly imported all relevant classes I could think of, e.g. the GallerySite class to the WebSite class and vice versa, and tried various variable definitions, but am at a loss by now as to where to define the GallerySite variable.
I'm trying to write a dollar recognizer in Flash Builder. actionscript and mxml, and I''m getting this error on the line "myRec.addTemplate..." in the code below:

I'm having a problem trying to use the method getDefinitionByName, I am using an array to store the names of the classes, the problem that arises is that when I am touring the settlement to create instances of classes shows me that error variable is not set, I've already created an instance of the classes that are in the array so the problem should not be because of this issue, only allows me to create the instance of an object in the array and when you try to create the following instance shows me the error that I mentioned previously
the fix that I'm using has these variables
"PlataformaPrueba", "PlataformaPrueba2"
and code with which I'm reading it:
Code:
var className: String;
var classReference: Class;
var classReference1: Class;
[Code]....
It seems that with as3, the error compiler is just waiting to get you.I have a function that loads in an external swf. Which swf depends on which button they click. So, it could be pic1.swf, pic2.swf, pic3.swf, etc.
function loadMovie(){
my_mc.addChild(my_Loader);
addChild(my_mc);[code].........
When i test, I get "error: access to undefined property myVariable.

i have a code which saves a display object locally as an image file, but at some point it began throwing error 2174. this code is called either from context-menu click event or keyboard event.
var sourceBmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(displayObject.width,displayObject.height);
sourceBmd.draw(displayObject,new Matrix(displayObject.width,0,0,displayObject.height));
var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(80);

I have a code which saves a display object locally as an image file, but at some point it began throwing error 2174 (up until then it worked fine). This code is called either from a context-menu click event or a keyboard event.
var sourceBmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(displayObject.width,displayObject.height);
sourceBmd.draw(displayObject,new Matrix(displayObject.width,0,0,displayObject.height));
var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(80);
var byteArray:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(sourceBmd);
try {
filereference.save(byteArray,"posterImage.jpg");
} catch (e:Error) {
Debugging.alert("error: ",e.message);
}
As you can see, the filereference has only a single action - so no reason for error 2174 to be thrown (and yes - I also have a listener for the 'cancel' event). I'm publishing for flash player 10.0
I've used FlexCover quite a bit before so this is absolutely absurd to me. No matter what version of the flex sdk (3.0, 3.2, or 4) that I apply the appropriate patches too, I get the following error when trying to compile:[code]I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. One thing that is odd however (and I'm hoping is the source of my problem) is that I can NOT download the SDKs that are specifically suggested by the Flexcover documentation. Copying folders on Mac OS X does not merge them and so I was losing the original jar's that needed to stay there.
View 1 RepliesIn my AIR app,I am trying to implement a file downloader using URLStream.
public class FileDownloader {

Function called every time data arrives[code].....
I simply create an object of the above class and passing the url and the file and call the load function. For some files I get the following error.
remotePath: http:[url].....error while writing bytes from...Error:Error #2029: This URLStream object does not have a stream opened.Which means the error is from the file stream(fileAccess) that I am using. I am unable to figure out why this could be happening. If I try to open the url http:[url]... in the browser, it opens properly. This happens randomly for some files.
I am working on a game in which there are several Plane objects that the player can click. My main application class extends the BasicView class. I made this whole game as an ActionScript project and everything works fine when I run it as one.
Now I load this game in a Flex application. When added to the Flex application, it runs perfectly until I click somewhere at which point it throws the following error:

I'm having some trouble understandig this. What i'm doing is using a very basic urlLoader to send text to an ASP. Everything works just as expected using English and Swedish, but if i try and send some Russian (cyrillic) Flash throws an error 2032 on a script working flawless up to this point. Am i missing the obvious here? the first one to admit never worked with russian thext in this fashion before, does it need special encoding or is there something i need to do to make this work?
View 1 RepliesI'd never used FileReference on a domain protected by htaccess and htpasswd. I'm getting I/O and Stream errors when my SWF is hitting those PHP scripts. I know I can host the PHP on an unprotected domain, but I'd prefer not to do that.

I am working on my open source project Downloadify, and up until now it simply handles returning Strings in response to ExternalInterface.call commands.
I am trying to put together a test case using JSZip and Downloadify together, the end result being that a Zip file is created dynamically in the browser, then saved to the disk using FileReference.save. However, this is my problem:
The JSZip library can return either a base64 encoded string of the Zip, or the raw byte string. The problem is, if I return that byte string in response to the ExternalInterface.call command, I get this error:
Error #1085: The element type "string" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</string>"
ActionScript 3:
var theData:* = ExternalInterface.call('Downloadify.getTextForSave',queue_name);
Where queue_name is just a string used to identify the correct instance in JS.
JavaScript:
var zip = new JSZip();
zip.add("test.txt", "Hello world!
");
var content = zip.generate(true);
return content;
If I instead return a normal string instead of the byte string, the call works correctly.I would like to avoid using base64 as I would have to include a base64 decoder in my swf which will increase its size.
Finally: I am not looking for a AS3 Zip generator. It is imperative to my project to have that part run in JavaScript

I'm writing an upload program to upload multiple files.

We have a flex application which compiles fine on windows box using mxmlc ant task but when we try to run the same build scripts on linux, it throws the 'Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet' error indicating it is not able to resolve the path to the image files.
Can someone pls. educate me on if there is a difference in the way the image files are looked up, in a CSS file, on windows vs linux.
Flex sdk version is 3.3. The same sdk is used on both windows and linux. Not sure if this has been fixed by any future 3.x sdks.
