ActionScript 3.0 :: Inheritance - Access A Display Object Which Is Already Placed On Stage In The Flash Ide?
Apr 7, 2011
Base extends MovieClip document class extends Base how would Base properly access a display object which is already placed on stage in the flash ide? for example creating the var in Base's class definition = 1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition in name space public. but just referencing the var = 1120 undefined property , as the item is only a variable of the document class Is the only approach to let the classes load, then create the display object rather than have it on stage already?

I am writing a simple application which communicates with web services a lot So I am listening for success and fault events very often. When service returns a fault, I show an alert to a user saying something like: "Sorry there was a problem with a service, we will try to call it later"
But there is a problem. When user didn't notice an alert, and service is still dead before the second call the alert will be shown again, and again and again (so There will be very many alert objects which is bad)
I want to make alert a kind of singleton. So I am trying to produce a class something like

In the flash IDE I have the file class com.example.NewCore. The NewCore class extends my original class named Core and the Core class extends MovieClip. What I don't understand is why isn't the original Core class able to access the assets on the stage? Or am I doing it wrong and should go about another way for inheritance. Heres alittle more back story... I had a project and it was fully developed. Now I have built another project based on that project with differently styled assets on the stage with same instance names. I needed to override a few functions but the class I extended can't access anything on the stage. I tried researching this but I can't identify exactly what I'm doing.My last guess would be to take everything off the stage and make it a class available in the library, but I don't know what the right way to do this.

I have a library swf (asset.swf), it's document class binded to Asset.as, and in the Constructor function of Asset,[code]as known to all, we cannot visit the stage attribute before the display object added to the stage.so, when my loader.swf try to load asset.swf, it throws exception and the loading come to failure is there some one tell me how to load the asset.swf? I cannot modify the asset.swf.

I have MCs loaded from the Fla library through my main class. These are drag objects. When one of these is clicked, I want the player to run a function that will disables some based on one selected. When I tried the obvious reference, I had an error. I've been advised to add these to an array, but I can't even do that.
Code:
import HO_42;
I set the objet to a variable above the constructor function:
Code:
private var office:HO_42;
The constructor calls a function that loads the objects to the stage (and this works fine if I don't try to access the object), here is an example of the load and access code:
Code:
office = new HO_42();
addChild(office);
office.x = 441.9;

I am trying to figure out how to get access to a display object that was created in one subclass from a different subclass. Here�s my example: I created PnkRabbit.as and BluRabbit.as as separate classes (both extending RabbitTemplate.as).
I called them from Client.as (document class for Rabbits.fla) using an addRabbits button. Then I created MovePinkRabbit.as and MoveBlueRabbit.as (both extending Move.as which is listed as a protected var in RabbitTemplate.as). With this setup I can run Rabbits.fla and get a trace statement to come from MovePinkRabbit.as and/or MoveBlueRabbit.as, but I can�t figure out how to get access to the PinkRabbit and BlueRabbit movie clips from MovePinkRabbit.as and MoveBlueRabbit.as, so that I can actually move the clips. Here�s some of the code, (complete code and FLA in zip file).
Client.as
Code:

i've got an inheritance chain of AS2 classes set up where i have an array in the 'child' class that i'd like to be able to access from the 'parent' class:
bottomClass.as -'parent'
topClass.as -'child'
my question/dilemma is: how can the parent access the properties of a child class...is this even possible, or am i just looking at it wrong?

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I've made it this way1. I made clip and it's main class (eg. timeline.as) - at this point it works2. I put code from main class to another class (eg. timeline_template.as) and in main class (timeline.as) I inherit it by :public dynamic class timeline extends timeline_template {3. I added stage items declarations in timeline_template.as because without that any code couldn't reach target an I got 1120: Access of undefined property xxx after these steps whole clip works but items on stage ( buttons, etc. ) are not affected by code. That's logical because code references to properties declared in timeline_template but not in timeline.fla. But how to get around that - I need several usage of timeline_template and I would like to avoid code redundancy

Actionscript 3.0 looping through stage and DisplayObject items. I'm trying to convert to Actionscript 3.0 and I'm trying to find out how to loop through Stage objects as well as DisplayObject.
With AS 2.0 - I would only have to do:
for(var i in _root) // or MovieClip, this, etc { trace("i: " + i + " [i]: " + _root.[i]);}
In AS 3.0 I found this equivalent which works w/ some objects:
public function debug_object(o:Object, show_all:Boolean):void {
import flash.utils.*; var def:XML = describeType(o);
var props:XMLList = def..variable.@name; if(show_all)
props += def..accessor.@name;
for each (var prop:String in props) {
trace(prop + ": " + o[prop]); }}
this.showChildren(Stage);
This kind of works but the o[prop] always traces undefined and it's not showing any movieClips on the stage. I would like to be able to have the debug object function be able to take Stage and DisplayObject arguments like such:
this.debug_object(Stage, true);
this.debug_object(flash.display.DisplayObject, true);

For some reason below is not working. It is probably very obvious but I am not seeing it. As soon as I comment out the container mc variable and just add Child to root timeline I see everything which means me container is not being added to the stage correctly.
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var i:int = 0;
var a:Number = 10;
var ageString:String;
var ageText:Array = new Array();

I've googled this to no avail, I've only found how to manipulate the stage itself and not a display object on it,I have a movie clip on the main timeline with instance name displayName. I created a button that should change what frame displayName goes to (in order to...did you guess it?! diplay the Name of the button.So I am trying to write the code in a reusable fashion and have the buttons all linked to a class called GeoPuzzle. Inside GeoPuzzle I instantiate a touch event and run the code. However, the function has to be able to change displayName in the main part of the timeline and, of course, the compiler says displayName doesn't exist because I'm in a class and I'm talking about the stage.[code]How can I tell displayName to change it's current frame from within display object class?

I have a document class called Main, and a class called DispatchEventExample. In DispatchEventExample, I'm trying to add an event listener to the stage but get an 1120 error, access of undefined property stage.
If I understand things correctly, even though I create an instance of DispatchEventExample in Main, it's not added to the display list & therefore cannot access stage.

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):

If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

I'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]
