ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Movieclips In An Array To Custom Class
Dec 11, 2008
I have a custom class that animates a set of movie clips. Something like coverFlow or Carosell. What I want to do is pass a array of all the movie clips to be used by the class. I am not sure an array is the best solution but it makes sense to me. The class will not always know how many movieclips are being passed so with an array I can get the lenght and deal with it. here is the instaciation code of my class mBack and mFront are movie clips on the stage.[code]I get this error Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@113d2061 to Array.it kinda of makes sense why I got the error but if this is not correct how do I pass a list of mc's to my class.

I have a combobox that I need to style with colors from xml. I call this XML file in the same class that has my combobox instance and break out the color I need to a var.
I then use MyCellRenderer (a class that extends CellRenderer) to style the drop down list items like so:
Code:
myComboBox.dropdown.setStyle('cellRenderer', MyCellRenderer );
This all works perfectly with a hardcoded color already inside the MyCellRenderer class.
My problem is when I instantiate MyCellRenderer and try to pass the color through I get the following error when I click the combobox open:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at fl.controls::List/drawList()
at fl.controls::List/draw()
at fl.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()
Is it possible to instantiate a class that extends CellRenderer? If not why not?
how can I pass a variable to my custom CellRenderer class?

After resolving one issue, another error has surfaced in my custom class. This class displays a dialogBox and the dialogBox has some interactive MovieClips like btnOK_mc Button.On creating an object of the said class, it reports errors like "Access of undefined property btnOK_mc".[code]I understand that it is an issue of the Scope of these controls; but don't know, how to define these MCs; so that they look like Public. I may be just out of track on the issue.

I have a function:
PHP Code:
function getInfo (){
cardDetails= new Array('v','a','r','i','o','u','s');
var parent_mc:CatProcess = CatProcess(this.parent);
parent_mc.addForm(parent_mc.finalCardScreen,cardDetails);
parent_mc.removeChild(this);
}
this accesses a function of the parent movie clip - addForm which is:
[Code]...
This then adds an instance of the class finalCardScreen before removing itself. I want to be able to pass cardDetails array through to the new screen. I don't know what to put in my addForm object to do this though because I don't want to do anything with it just now, just pass it through to the class that is being attached.

I have an array of a custom class. The class includes 3 movieclips that all share the same position. I have 5 items in the array, and in the document constructor I fill them as such:
ActionScript Code:
glassArray[0] = new glasses(spot, beam1, glasses2, "index/nav/aboutus", new Point(156, 400));(different string and point for each of the 5 items)
Here's the glasses constructor:
ActionScript Code:
public class glasses extends MovieClip{ //I am the Constructor.
public var spot:MovieClip;
public var beam:MovieClip;
public var glass:MovieClip;
protected var target:String;
[Code] .....
It then goes on to fill each of those mclips with properties based on the point received. How to addchild from the class, I've got a simple for loop in the document constructor that adds them all in. Everything works, except what I'm seeing is that as each item in the array is added in, it overwrites the previous items' properties. In effect, I can create 5 items and give them each a different position, but when I go to addChild I see that all of them have taken on the position of the 5th one.!

If I set my variables as type MovieClip instead of the type of the class for the MovieClip I am calling them as, will this affect my presentation in any way? Say I have a movieClip Walls with a class definition Walls. Will
var newwall:MovieClip = new Walls(); or
var newwall = new Walls();
be any different than
var newwall:Walls = new Walls();

I'm making a custom class and all my get functions are working fine except the one that returns an array. Here is the code for my class (abridged to the relevant parts):
ActionScript Code:
/*
VolcanicIsland class for Polypelago

How do I get an array to return correctly? Doing trace(VI1.getData()[0]) doesn't work either.

I'm trying to do Array.sortOn on an array of custom-class objects. It's not working, though nothing in the documentation suggests that this is a problem. Below is the code. I'm confident the MetricRecord constructor is working fine because everything else works, and the traces below are correct, except they don't sort.
// This array sorts
metricRecords = new Array();
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"cca", temp:"asxcvbxcber"});
metricRecords.push({mediaVehicle:"aaa", temp:"asdfertr"});

In class Main I am instantiating a custom class NavLabel that creates a textField. With in NavLabel I dispatch a custom event CustomEventWithParams on a reference to class Main that passes the parameter theLabelWidth along with it. from with in class Main i can trace the theLabelWidth for each of the instantiated NavLabel objects. I want to hold those values in an array labelWidthArray and then use them to position the NavLabel objects. how can I do this?

The first on is using the Tweener class and everytime that I press a button it fades out the loaded content of the previous selection, waits for it to finish and then loads the content of the button pressed. Everything works fine with this part.The second code is the on that is using an Array to dynamicaly rollover, rollout and keep selected the buttons.It was also changing the content of the mc that everything is loaded on but without this fancy fade in - fade out...!So i think its time for some code now...:
Code: Select allimport mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.Strong;
var FADEINSTART:Number = 2;
var FADEINSTOP:Number = 7;
[code]....
Ive managed to make the previous mc to fade out but cant really make everything work properly...!

I am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

I have a custom class being constructed from my main class. In the custom class it has another custom class that is passed in as a parameter. I would like to strictly type the parameter variable but when I do, 'the type is not a compile type constant etc'.This, I understand, is because the custom class used as a parameter has not yet been constructed.It all works when I use the variable type ( * ) to type the parameter.I suspect this is a design flaw, in that I am using an incorrect design pattern.It is actually hand-me-down code, having received a large project from someone else who is not entirely familiar with oop concepts and design patterns.
I have considered using a dummy constructor for the parametered class in my main class but the passed in class also takes a custom class (itself with a parametered constructor). I am considering using ... (rest) so that the custom classes' parameters are optional.Is there any other way to control the order of construction of classes? Would the rest variables work?edit)in main.as within the constructor or another function
var parameter1:customclass2;
customclass1(parameter1);
in customclass1 constructor:

This is my first time working with a class attached to a movieclip that is nested inside a class attached to a movie clip.I've tested all the properties and methods of PTListItem.as and they work properly but when I try to call them on the list item through PTListTop.as it returns undefined.The end goal is to dynamically load a checklist via a txt file.

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:
package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..
So to sum it all up:
- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.
- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.
Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.

I couldn't work it out yet...
package components {
public class templateSelection extends VBox {
static public var tempSelectionBag:Dictionary;
[Code]....
I want to have a custom class tempSelection with a Dictionary as a public accessable property of that class. If I use this code, the compiler tells me:
1046: Typ wurde nicht gefunden oder war keine Kompilierungszeit- onstante:Dictionary
Which translates to:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Dictionary

I haven't been able to find the answer to this: I'm working with a var defined in the main timeline var score:int; , wich I use in 10 different movie clips using var score = MovieClip(this.root).score; Everything works perfect on the first MovieClip, but when the next one plays score does not keep the value assigned in the previous MovieClip therefore the score is lost.
The clips are questions and they are place on the main time line in different frames and main time line actions layer which only contains this:
stop();
var score:int;
nextQuestion.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newQuestion);
function newQuestion(evt:MouseEvent):void { nextFrame();}
covers each frame with every different MovieClip.
What I need to know is how to make that value pass to the next Movie Clip?

I have two custom as3 classes, TriviaGame and TriviaQuestion, and I am attempting to retrieve a bitmap image stored in TriviaQuestion and have found it impossible thus far.
It seems the root of my problem is that bitmap is somehow null in my GetImage() function, even though it is class data that has been set earlier in ImageLoaded(). The only time I am able to access the bitmap's info (in order to add it to the display) is inside ImageLoaded().
In TriviaQuestion.as, loading the image:
private function XMLLoadedHandler (e:Event):void
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);

I have a custom component written in action script (no UI). I am instantiating this component in an mxml file which is present in a library project. The custom component has a constructor which takes one argument. The library project is used in some other web project from where i pass a variable to this mxml file.[I have linked source of the web project to source of library.].
I have a static variable in my library project which holds the reference of the current object of the project. I need this static variable in order to use properties present in the mxml file. I am unable to use the property sent from the web project in the constructor of the custom component, but able to use the same in some other function present in the custom component.
