ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Class Accessible?
Nov 14, 2009I am creating a custom Flash component with AS3. My component's main class imports a class with a static variable. How can I make this class accessible by the user of my component from a flash-level? This is the example:
my component's main class:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import MyStaticClass;
[Code]....
The thing is I don't want to provide the user with the MyStaticClass source. I would like it to be automatically imported and accessible after dragging the component to the stage.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Accessible MovieClip From Within Class
Dec 19, 2009I am trying to make a class that extends the movie clip class. I want to essentially have a movie clip class that has a "handle" by which I mean a settable reg point by referring to a parent container movie clip. I have many parts of it working. I have functions that can move the handle/parent to any location on the screen, one that centers, and a move method that moves the movie clip by moving the parent so it is being moved by the origin you specify etc.
But one thing I would like to have the handledMovieClip class to do is to make the handled movie clip and then automatically generate the parent movie clip with the same name appended with "h" and put the handledMovieClip into the parent MovieClip. The parent movie clip should then be accessible by actions on the main timeline. Suppose that the movieclip name is MC so then the parent would be called MCh. I do this by making a new movie clip and then changing the name to "MCh".
But when I try to use the dot syntax from the main time-line it doesn't seem to know the object. So I can't do something like "trace(MCh.width);". I can get what I want by creating the handled movie clip and then the parent and then putting the handledMovieClip into the parent with addChild. It works if I do it from the main time line, but not if I try to do the exact same thing within the class constructor. I thought it would be a nice feature if the user only had to make the handledMovieClip and if the parent was generated by the class constructor automatically.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Class Linkage - Generic Class Accessible To All MovieClips From Within Flash?
Feb 23, 2011Assume I know practically nothing about AS3! I'm using Flash Pro CS5. I'm trying to reassociate a flash file I've been given with its external assets and classes. In the library I have a movieclip with linkage to a class called 'StaticMap' using the base class 'flash.display.MovieClip'. am I missing a custom class file called 'StaticMap.as' that was originally located in the same folder as the fla, or is this a generic class accessible to all movieClips from within Flash?
View 7 RepliesMake The Flvplayback Control Accessible?
Jul 25, 2009does anyone know how to make the flvplayback control accessible? meaning to be able to use the tab key to navigate the play,stop,fwd,back buttons? According to Adobe I should be able to load up a skin and its already set.
"All skins provided by Flash CS4 Professional support keyboard and screen reader access, so developers simply insert the FLVPlayback component on the stage in Flash no configuration is needed."
This is incorrect. I have tried to load several different skins and it fails, my coworker tried with her system "fail" I've managed to create my own playback bar (sorta) and was able to get the tab to work by assigning tab indexs however the flvplayback skins does not allow tab indexing.
I cant actionscript worth a lick so using my playback bar is not an option and the SkinUnderAllNoFullscreen playback was the chosen controller. point me in the right direction. Adobe and the forums over there were of no help.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Globally-accessible Class Instances?
Jan 25, 2009I created a custom class (no arguments needed for constructor) and I wanted to create an instance of that class that can be accessed by AS from aywhere inside the SWF (i.e. globally from any function or class).So far the only way I can think of doing that is to create the custom class with an associated MovieClip Symbol, drag an instance of that MovieClip Symbol to the stage, and then give it an instance name. It seems like I can then use the instance name to access that class instance anywhere.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Variable Accessible In More Than One Frame
Feb 9, 2010I noticed that I can not find a way to make a variable accessible in more than one frame. My issue here is that for instance if I have a game and frame 1 has the game and frame 2 has the win screen and I want the win screen to display a score, I don't know how to do it. So the variable from frame 1 which holds the display can't be acessed in frame 2. I understand how to use OOP proggramming and classes, but you need an instance of that class to hold the variable, and It seems I can't cross-frame acess objects either. (I understand I could use a global variable, I don't know how to do this but I know most people don't.

Flash :: Assign Properties To A MovieClip In It And Have Them Accessible In Flex?
Feb 27, 2011In Flash Professional, I have a MovieClip and that clip has children. Let's say the parent clip is a night sky and the children are different instances of a star MovieClip that animates in a loop. This whole thing compiles down to a NightSky.swc which I use in Flash Builder as part of a larger project.
In Flash Pro, I position the child clips with a high level of precision. From there, I want to assign properties to these "stars." Say, I want to assign "galaxyId" and "isRedGiant" but (and this is key) I want to edit those properties in Flash Professional and have those value accessible in Flex.[code]...
Flash :: Why A Movieclip Or Any Other Subcomponent Become Publically Accessible When Provided Instance Name
Nov 3, 2011i placed a movieclip inside a movieclip A_Mc ( representing ClassA) . Now if i place another movieclip ( without naming, and making sure that automatic instance naming is Off via the flash IDE ), everything runs fine. But when i provide an instance name say b_Mc , then it MUST be able to be publically accessible. What is the logic behind this setup. Why while designing i cannot make a sub-movieclip which is private and inaccessible to others?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing A Textfield Inside A Movieclip Class From Document Class
Feb 3, 2009Ok, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?
