I am making a movie that has classes. There is one MovieClip in the movie and it needs to have a blank base class, because one of the classes is a Dynamic.
Flash 4 keeps auto-filling in the base class: flash.display.MovieClip . How do I stop this from happening?
There is no preference to change the setting.
I'd have thought this to be simple, but nothing works. I have a game I'm working on, and in it, there will be a speed stat. The fast you are going, the faster everything else has to move to make it look like you are moving faster.The problem is, the speed stat (obviously not called speed) is one of the upgradable stats, and needs to be available for the class handling upgrades for it to be changed, and it needs to be read by the class handling moving objects.The second class however, has absolutely no idea the variable even exists. I've tried for weeks to look up a tutorial on it, but there doesn't seem to be any at all that I can find. (I am using public variables, and have tried various ways of trying to point at the class it's from but apparently I must be using the wrong syntax)
View 12 RepliesAS3 says you need to load variables into a class?my variables look like this... (the whole point of playing around with variables was that if I had to make a change I could access one place and change them but now I realse that I can't access or call them outside the movie clip they are in.[code] The Wholesale price.

View 7 RepliesBasically I'm trying to make an air app which contains a variety of different pages - I was under the understanding that each page would have its own class file, with everything being instantiated for that page within the class file.
If that is the case, then how would I make the transition from class to class and also remove the previous class so it doesnt take up memory?
I have a issue where I'm working with a particular interface for quite a lot of things. However, I have a particular method that I want to be available only to a particular group of classes (basically, an internal method). [code]...
View 4 Repliesi've got two classes and i'm not extending to MovieClip. I like to attach the mc in the constructor just because i'll be working with different MC's that have the same purpose.
however, im using private var loadedMC:Movieclip and now i've got another class that needs to be able to access the instance's variable.
for example, myClass.loadedMC , but this would mean having to make it public and I rather not go that route.
I'm trying to use Greensock LoaderMax on a Starling Framework project, but since Starling have a lots of its own class, how I can make it work with other classes that is using the native class?

There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I've got 100 instances of a particular class of MovieClip on my stage, and I'm trying to find a way to get functions that affect them all. The obvious way to do this is through their common class, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding out how to do it. Most of the tutorials I've found are about creating custom classes or creating new instances of classes. This isn't what I want to do, as I've already got all my instances on the stage already.
There are actually several things I want to use this for, but I'll just mention one for the sake of brevity.
I want to set the alpha of each MovieClip to 0 when I click on it. Here's the code I'm using for a single MovieClip at the moment:
ActionScript Code:
boxcover1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removecover1);
function removecover1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
boxcover1.alpha=0;
}
While this works perfectly, it means I'm going to have to repeat it 99 times, once for each MovieClip, and later on I need to do some more complicated stuff with it that 99 copies would make near-impossible to pull off. I'm hoping that by using the class ('box_cover') I'll be able to have this apply to every MovieClip on the stage.
Im trying to create a class which can access a movie clip on stage. I've searched many forums/google cant seem to find the solution im after. If i have a movie clip on stage with instance name 'mc1' for example. how can i access this movie clip from a class im creating. Eventually id be able to access the movieclip via a dynamic name but need to get past this simple stage first.

Within a script, I move to a keyframe where a movie clip exists. The movie clip is attached to an Actionscript 2.0 class. Once the movie clip exists, I want to be able to give it some initialization settings, but it seems they are not available until the next frame. For example, let's say in a script I say:

I have a movie that reads class files located in folder called 'src' and has been working once I changed the path to absolute. for some reason now my movie has decided not to work.
this is how I create the path:
Go to porperties and click 'Edit' then clicking the AS3 'settings'. I then go to the 'Source path' tab and click 'browse folder' icon to the folder of the classes. having done all this my movie still does not work.
A Flash movie loads another movie that contains various asserts - movie clips in its library with 'Export for Action Script' settings set.
Is there any way to determine the list of class names of all these exported asserts from within the movie that loads them?
I have 2 classes. Class "a" creates an empty movie clip and class b defines that movie clip further.

I'm trying to make a movie loop only 3x. On the first frame I have:
Code:
var loop==1;
then, on the last frame, before I send the movie to frame2, I have

But the movie continues, then goes to frame 2 again.
How can I make the movie loop only 3x?
I created a simple slideshow type thing that involves two buttons that allow a user to go left or right to view additional pictures. All of the pictures are stored in a single movieclip.When the buttons are clicked it just changes the x value of the movie clip.Everything works perfectly.Currently when it reaches the last picture (the very end of the movie clip) it scrolls back to the beginning. But I have to change it so that it appears to loop... Basically creating another instance of the movie clip on the fly.how to do it?And here's a snippet of the code to give you an idea:A few notes... photo_mc is the movie clip that moves around (and stores all the pics)All the actionscript is in the first frame.btn_left & btn_right are the buttons

I'm attempting to use the movieClipLoader to load a file onto an instance of a class derived from movieclip. For some reason, this doesn't seem to work, because after it successfully loads, the array that contains these derived class instances suddenly become movie clips and lose all their derived variables (tracing them resutls in 'undefined').So I thought there must be another way. Perhaps there is a way to copy the image data from one movie clip to another, or someone suggested taking a snap shot of the first movie clip and then applying it to the second as a bitmap.
