ActionScript 3.0 :: Method In A Class File That Refers To Itself - The This Keyword Is Not Working?
Sep 27, 2011
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Graphics;
public class Rail extends MovieClip
[code]...
this is a simple Rail class, what I am trying to do is take the for loop out of the timeline and build into the Rail class itself. How do I refer to the Rail class itself within the method? If I am doing this the wrong way please let me know! Would it be better if I created another class, say a "RailSpacing" class and build the for loop into the contructor into that?
Also, if I wanted to add depth to the rail(textures or something else to make it look real) and still be able to change the color without transforming the entire rail instance, what could I do ActionScript wise. I have come to the conclusion the only way to do this is creating a multilayered movieclip and target the base object and not the highlight/ shading layer.
Also, if I created a nice graphic/movieclip and exported it for ActioSncript, how can I find the class file and add too it? Is this even possible? Is it possible to draw something that is detailed and export it and then add some methods?

How can I replace
public function Mainclass()
{
Calculations.getDistance(5,9,4,2);
}
[Code]....
I'm not lazy (lying? :p), but I use the class more than 20 times, and it looks better if I replace al these long classnames.

I've got a problem... here's an example script:
[Code]...
Ok, so here's the problem. What happens in the above, is that I call 'loadTheXML()', it loads the xml file into xmlLoader and then runs the event handler 'onLoad'. My problem is here: once I get into the event handler 'this' refers to xmlLoader, not the class. Therefore, I have no way of calling wannaCallThis(). How do I call a member function of the class from inside the eventHandler?

The problem is that I can't access my class properties inside the onLoadInit event function. What is the good OOP way to access these properties?

I'm encountering something a bit bizarre, but maybe someone else came across this before.
I've got a base class, that doesn't extend anything. Let's call it...
public class FooBar {

I was ust wondering how I would go about linking a button to a keyword within a .jpg file, within a folder and making that .jpg appear within a window. The word that the button will search for will not be the full name of the .jpg, it will only be part of the .jpg file name.

ok I am having what I think is a targeting problem.I'm loading a swf into a blank container inside another movie (main). The AS in the loaded swf refers to positions of MC's in itself _x & _y etc.However once it is loaded, those positions are not true... ex. if the center of the swf is 200 by itself depending in where it is loaded, it might become 400 or any other number - reletive to the main movie's stage (I hope Im being clear).I need the AS in the loaded swf to refer to itself (x/y values relative to its OWN stage). So how do I target that? _root.MC.containerMC doesnt seem to work, but is this on the right track? Basically when an swf is loaded into another, does its _root now become the main timeline of the movie its loaded into???

I have a rather silly question but as3's document class always gets me confused.I have a public method on my document class. I want to call this method from another class that is instantiated from within an object in the library of the flash file (the same one on whose document class I want to call a method).

I have two classes:
1. DocumentClass
2. GameClass
I would like to be able to call a public method of DocumentClass from GameClass. I don't know how to do that, I tried instantiating an object of DocumentClass within GameClass which simply throws me into an endless loop and after a short while application crashes.

I have a class called Unit. When I use this class in a .fla file, I create it by saying:
var unit00:Unit = new Unit(...);
So then it creates a gfx representation of the screen for me. I would like to have a method like this:

So how do I get this to work? I know that delete this will not work when defined inside the class. How do I target the .fla's instance name when I don't know what it will be called?

I have a client that is wanting me to create a flash website in which they can add products pages (product info, images, etc.) themselves after the website is completed. I will setup up the first few products then they will do the rest. Would I wanted to go with dynamic text and empty movie clips loading the images? If so how could I have this create a duplicate page that refers to the new text and image?

I'm sitting here doing some C# programing and in one of my switch statements I ended up using the goto keyword. Well just out of curiosity I booted up FDT and created another switch statement in ActionScript 3. Well to my surprise there is apparently no goto keyword in AS3 or at least I couldn't find a substitution.
