ActionScript 3.0 :: Instantiating A Custom Class Through A String?
Oct 28, 2009I asked yesterday how to call a function from an XML file, and I figured out how to make that work using the string-to-function call.so in my XML file I have <ITEM CALLBACK="ContactsList">View All</ITEM>, and my TextMenu class parses the XML file and creates my navigatable text menu instance. When enterMenu():String is called, it looks to see if the CALLBACK attribute has a value, and if so it returns it as a String.so..

Actionscript 3 :: Instantiating Document Class Of Loaded SWF?
May 3, 2010I am loading one swf into another using the Loader class, but when the child swf finishes loading and is added to the display list, its Document Class is not instantiated. I have a few trace statements that should execute when the object is created, but nothing is happening when loaded into the parent SWF. When I compile the child SWF on its own, the Document Class runs as expected.
So I'm wondering... how do I associate a child SWF's Document Class with Loader.content?

Flash - Loading SWF Without Instantiating Document Class?
Sep 26, 2011Is there a way I can load a swf file but not automatically instantiate it's DocumentClass? Instead I want to do something like the following:
protected function mainLoaded(e:Event = null):void {
trace('mainLoaded');
var main:* = this.mainLoad.createClassByName('Main');
trace(main);
}
Where mainLoad is an instance of CasaLib's SwfLoad and createClassByName is the equivalent to
loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition();
The thing is that when my swf finishes loading I can see it is created, because of some trace calls, although its obviously not added to the display list.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Instantiating Class From External Function?
Nov 11, 2010I've got a confusing situation which wont seem to fix itself basically I have my main class, my iContent class (which will hold each page and have functions for all pages), and my individual pages.
The homepage is instantiated by calling the iContentClass.goHome method in the main document class. The home page contains a button to go on to the next page. This button references the goColourBrowserPage function within the iContentClass, which removes the child (being the home page) and attempts to add a child (colourBrowserPage).
For some reason this doesnt work! It doesnt seem to add the child and wont let me remove the child of the home page! I've been sitting here for 3 hours trying to work it but to no avail!

Nov 29, 2010I'm making an app with pages set out as classes which extend the MovieClip class.
What I've got are back buttons and different pages which go to the same page, however... If I end up going out of a page and back into a page (specifically one with drawn squares and dynamic text boxes called from a web service), it seems to have kept all of the original information.
So far I've tried killing all of the children with a while loop targeting the index and also using weak event listeners - neither is working!
ActionScript 3.0 :: Instantiating Class Once Should Make Its Vars Static?
Jan 27, 2010If I only instantiate a class once should I make its vars static? I understand how this is of benefit if I make multiple classes, clearly you use less memory as it creates a reference to the same place for each class. Are there any other benefits for creating static vars or functions ?
For example I have my class 'MainMenu' which I create once (might even be my document class). In it I create a
Code:
private var someHolderForStuff:Sprite = new Sprite();
Should I rather create

Actionscript 3 :: Access Properties And Methods Of A Class Without Extending Or Instantiating?
Jan 9, 2012Let's say I have a defined ClassA. ClassB extends ClassA and there's a Movie Clip instance on the stage linked to ClassB. How would ClassC access the properties and methods of ClassB without extending ClassB or creating a new instance of ClassB? The way I'm currently doing it is by referencing the stage instance linked to ClassB and then using the dot syntax to access ClassB instance variables, and this works only if the the accessed variables are public or internal, depending on what package ClassC is part of. I would like to know if there's a better, cleaner way to accomplish this.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Instantiating Multidimensional Array Of Movie Clips From Inside Of A Class
Dec 30, 2007I am trying to set up a script that will generate a matrix repeating the same symbol X by Y times. For example, b(3,2); should generate...
OOO
OOO
...and after many days of being tested by this problem I have narrowed the location of my problem down to what can be seen up in the following.
Code:
for (a=0; a<4; a++){
for (b=0; b<4; b++){
var z:Number = ((a*4)+b);
_root.attachMovie("Light", ("L" + z), _root.getNextHightestDepth(), {_x:(a*45), _y:(b*45)});
}
}
For some reason, that loop will only attach one copy of my "Light" movie. I cannot seem to figure out why more are not added. I am putting that code on the first frame of my movie. There is nothing else in my project yet.
I have compared my array to [URL]

ActionScript 3.0 :: A Super Class That's Runtime Shared Independent From The Class That Extends
Nov 4, 2010I'm not really asking how. What I'm asking is, is it possible? And I ask because I thought it was not - certainly it didn't work in AS2 - and yet that's what I appear to have done. Am I going crazy? Structure: A SWF (#1) with a class NewActivity that extends class AActivity. Another SWF (#2) with a shared library of code in it, including AActivity. A third SWF (#3) which loads the library followed by SWF#1. Here's what happened: I didn't expect AActivity to be able to be shared. I mean, it should be compiled no matter what in SWF#1, as SWF#1 includes a class that extends AActivity. I had added some properties to the AActivity class, ran the project, and when SWF#3 tried to set those properties I was told they couldn't be applied. "Of course", I said, "I need to recompile SWF#1, because the code is now out of date. The version of the class there doesn't include these new properties.".
However, that didn't work. I got the same problem. Maybe, I thought, there's a definition conflict between SWF#1 and the library, so I removed the AActivity class from the shared library in SWF#2 for the time being. Only SWF#1 uses it, and it should already be compiled into SWF#1 as, like I said, it is extended by another class there. But when I ran the project, I was then told that the AActivity class could not be found at all! Looking at SWF#1 in a decompiler, there is in fact no mention of AActivity (I had up to this point assumed it was implied). So this left just one option: I needed to recompile the library in the first place, not SWF#1. I added AActivity back to the library, recompiled, and it worked.
To check I wasn't going crazy: I added a test property to the AActivity class and recompiled the library. The containing project - SWF#3 - then set this property on SWF#1, which had NOT been recompiled, and then read it back out. No errors. I should point out that the getting/setting of this property is done through an IActivity interface - AActivity is not being accidentally compiled into the main project (SWF#3), and the decompiler indicates this also. Am I going nuts? I really didn't think having a runtime shared super class was possible in any way. If it is, that opens up a whole new world of awesome, even though I've created this project on the basis of that being impossible.
