In flash cs5 can you have AS3 classes in separate files like in flashbuilder. I just want to make games with just actionscript and no flex/authorscript
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to implement CSVLib in an Air application and am getting an error that seems wholly illogical to me. "1120: Access of undefined property csv." and "1120: Access of undefined property completeHandler."
The only thing I can think is it's not importing the csv class properly, or the class itself is broken somehow? I know my import path is correct because I typed it out directly based on automatic hinting. The code below is copied directly from the how-to wiki on the csv lib site.

Using AS 3.0 and the action script project I was planning on writting a small file handeling utility to make processing files through AS better and easier. The problem is the API states that to call file you go
import flash.file
Well in flashbuilder going import flash. only gives me filter, and no file handeling imports....
I am having is trying to add objects to stage. At the moment I can not put anything onto the stage unless it is in my Main document class (Main). How would I add to stage in my player class and bullet class?
Code:

Im currently trying to make an as3 fantasy football application for my uni course, but am finding it hard to seperate the code I have written into classes (which I have no been told is the only accepted method for the marking scheme). So far I have an external XML file containing player names load into a datagrid component, there is then an event listener on the table which loads the player images into their correct positions on a pitch when clicked. I need to write more functionality for it including saving to XML and error handling but feel I need to sort out the classes situation before I continue and it is in for this week.
Code:
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.controls.ScrollPolicy;[code]..............
I'm still struggling with the complete concept of custom event handling within AS3. I know I am close to a complete understanding it's just not falling into place yet.[code]...
View 6 RepliesI'm laying out my code differently for my latest project. I am making a game, and I am keeping the Flash API stuff in a seperate class from the game logic.It's an aproach I've never tried before, and it's made me realize just how little I understand good OOP design.
what I'm trying to acomplish is this:
the Game class contains the step by step program flow of the game. it makes calls to a GameUtils class and DrawEngine class, these other classes have the Flash API stuff in themSo what is the best way to get the game class to control the other 2?
currently I have my program flow like this:
1. display splash image
2. add 'play' button
3. recieve click from button -->
[code]....
a more specific issue comes up at step 3: ..how do I have the game class progress without using a listener?I'm thinking of creating a method of the Game class that simply increments a step counter of a switch/case statement and keeping each step of my program flow in each case.
I need to load separate SWF files depending on different flash buttons being pressed. The problem is I see a flicker inbetween SWF's being played. I think the flicker is where it goes back one frame - but I do not know how to solve this.
The first bike should scroll along to the left then stop, buttons should then appear that allow you to load the external/separate SWF files.
If it is possible to link two separate flash files. I am trying to get one flash file to play another file.
View 4 Repliesthere a more official name for a 'flash container' ? because very little results come up when i try and search for answers!can you load a container within a container, i'm thinking no but would like to clear that up also! for example i've followed this tutorial htm however when loaded up in a container nothing appears in the mouse over effect.. i've also tried loading jpegs into a swf via an xml which again works fine until i load it up within a container and nothing appears..
View 21 RepliesI've been working on this problem for months, can'f find a viable solution. I can get the main movieclips of the files to p with a mouseover action, but I really need three separate swf files to sync upon load.

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for some help with the following script:
Main Class:
Code:
package {
// Flash Classes
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
[code]....
Now, I'd like to move the blue color coded script to the separate package. When I do that, I've got many reference errors. how the code should look like, when it's in separate package, with all the references to variables that work? And how to call this function from Main class?
- in the parent.fla i created a dynamic txt box and var String named 'txt', this initialises the dynamic text box content to say "parent value".
- in the child.fla i tried to assign and send a new string value i.e. "child value" to 'var txt' which in found within parent.fla. At this point if everything was to work fine the dynamic txt box in parent.fla should output "child value".
I have a 5 menu system in my Flash file, and to keep size down each element of the menu is a separate Flash file. So basically if "About" is pressed the about file loads onto the stage... The problem I am having is, when a menu item is pressed, let's say "About", I want whatever file has been loaded previously, I want it to fade out and then load the selected file... How could I do this? Once the menu is pressed I could easily make an as to fade the current movie out, but how would the file know what to load as the next item?
View 1 RepliesThis is doable in almost every language ive coded in. I would like to place a function in a separate .as file, as to not clutter up my main .as file. Ive already got about 15 classes in separate files and I know there must be some way to do this and its got to be pretty obvious.
View 7 RepliesWe use FMS 3.5 for streaming IPTV. We have a number of channels and currently our mp4 files are all held in the Media subdirectory, below vod
We want to divide them into separate channels for the the stations with their own subdirectories for organised filing but cannot see any way of doing this and then referencing the correct directory with the rtmp: via XML.
In an attempt to organize my code, I'm trying to split up my (lengthy) main controller class into separate files, but my new files must still have access to the variables and functions of the main controller class.I'm trying to cut and paste code from my controller class into a new class/file, allowing the controller class to call the new class, and allowing the new class to have access to the controller class's properties and function.Assuming I'm not totally bludgeoning appropriate design patterns, below is my unsuccessful attempt at accomplishing this task:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

In my project I used main document file, which could load multiple nested animations as a separate files. In the main document I had a global function, for example:
_global.onAnimationEnd(mc:MovieClip){...}
and in animations (could be nested) I just called it like:
onAnimationEnd(this);
Is it possible for (1)php script to write to seperate text files? Clarification; Say something like this partial code,
[Code]....
What I'm attempting to do is "ID" post to "schedule.txt" and "STime" post to "time.txt" is this possible or do I need to write a php script for each text file? Or am I way off base here? Now I have gotten "ID" to post to "schedule.txt" but not the other.

_parent._parent.buttonClick("movie name", _parent._name);

For the above script, am trying to load a swf file to load into an main movie file. This is for a flash website am working on, and i wanted to know if the above .Since having all the pages (6 pages) in one flash file, it would take long time to load, so am planning to have each of the 6 pages in an separate swf file and load these into main swf file, on click of a button, Also there needs to be a loading bar for each page.
I've created a small application that links various Sound Clips to corresponding Sound variables, and the individual start and stop commands work fine. However, when I try altering the volume, the controls affect all the sounds in the movie. I'd like to refrain from creating separate SWF files to represent each sound, but I will if I have to.
View 1 RepliesVery basic question here: Are there any disadvantages to using the ".*" qualifier when stating our imports into ActionScript files.
In other words, is this only a compile-time directive or does this actually affect the footprint and performance of our final builds?
Let's say you have a ton of code in your timeline but none of it is classes. Is it possible to put these into several external .as files? If so, how do you include them?
View 6 RepliesI'm an animator by trade and don't have a ton of experience with classes or any advanced programming. Here is what I'm dealing with:
I isolated the code that I'm trying to work with so I don't have to post all the code on here because there is a ton of it. It's in two separate .as files in the same folder, BaseClass.as and Nav.as
::BaseClass.as::
package classes {[code]...........
Basically I need to put an external interface call where I'm currently tracing "THIS IS WHERE THE CODE NEEDS TO GO" that tells the external interface a new page is being loaded. I was wondering if anyone had any advice trying to get these two .as files to talk to each other.
How can I import all files and classes into my AIR bundle... it must take a note that I created first a flex project, and set it's main class as Actionscript (.as) . When I build a release all my imports (org) etc.. are not included in the .AIR installer... i have checked this by installing the app and then after show package contents, notice that the diretory structure exists but it doesn't include any of other .as used as imports...
