ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass The Scope Of One Class To The Function Of Another
Oct 5, 2011
[Code]...
Specifies the value of thisObject to be used within any function that ActionScript calls. This method also specifies the parameters to be passed to any called function. Because apply() is a method of the Function class, it is also a method of every Function object in ActionScript. i don't get how "thisObject" is accessible from within the function invoked with it's apply method i'm trying to pass the scope of one class to the function of another so that the keyword "this" in the target function refers to the passed scope or am i misunderstanding the apply() method? it appears to behave differently between as2.0 and as3.0 as well, try this example code from the adobe docs

I have recently moved from AS2 to AS3 and I am finding the transition fairly easy, however I do have a few questions, some of which may not have been possible with AS2 but I would like to achieve them in AS3
1. Is it possible to pass the name of a class as an argument in a function and then use it to create a new instance. e.g [code]
2. Carrying on from the previous question, if a class can infact be passed, can I specifying a variable type for the argument so that only classes and not instances will be accepted?
3. I have three class files that all inherit some functions and variable from another class called Ship. Is it possible to specifying a variable type so that the variable can only hold instances of classes that are inherited from the Ship class?

I've got a main.as that loads SWF to the stage. the loaded SWF seppoused to pass a link to the main.as and trigger a javascript function to popUp that photo from that link.
I know there are two ways:
((root as MovieClip).parent.parent as Object).somefunction(parameters);
and to dispatch an event. inorder to pass parameters throug the event i need to extend it with another class.
isnt the (root as... ) more efficient if all i need is to pass a link?

I have a class file defined in my package as MyGlobals.as.[code] (I have tried adding/removing "static" and "dynamic" to no effect.)I am trying to call a touch event from the main timeline in this way:myObject.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, MyGlobals.myFunctionName);(I have tried removing the class name to no effect.)When I compile I get the error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TouchEvent. This error occurs on function definitions in the class file.What syntax/concept am I getting wrong? The functions were working fine when I was using constants in the timeline, but I need to be able to reuse these functions over and over again, so I wanted them to be able to take touch event variables so that I didn't have to write a different function for every touch event.I tried googling "error 1046" but I can't find anything useful.

I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?

It's stripped down to reproduce my issue.I want to change the scope of the event, so that when test is called, it traces "_level0 instead of "[object Object". I was thinking Delegate.create() would be the way to go, but I can't figure out how to get that to work within the scope of this function.

I'm having a problem calling a function from a different level.I have my main movie 'Mymovie.swf' in which I add a level(with loadMovie) with this code:
loadMovie("MyNewMovie.swf", "_level1");
On a button in MyNewMovie.swf, I try to call a function in 'Mymovie.swf', by doing:
on(release){
_root.MyFunction();
// or even: _level0.MyFunction();
}

Well... Doesnt work at all... In the class, there isnt a instance of i, so, how may i access this property inside a class function? But i still have an way to access the class.
I could do this way:
Code:
class Test
{
function Test(mc:MovieClip)
{

But this way, doesn't sounds good

What is the scope of a class created in Flash? If you create a class on the main timeline, can you use it anywhere in your project? If you use your class in a a movieclip, can you use that class outside of the movie clip?

I recently completed a tic-tac-toe game in AS3, using some simple function-based code I had written in C many years ago.Now I'm on a quest to do it the "right way" using OOP techniques and best practices.Everything is now divided into neat little packages, it looks pretty, and the last part of my journey is to get all the little buggers to communicate with each other.I want to move the code which holds the game state from my main to it's own class in com.okaygraphics.model.GameState.The problem is nearly every other package gets and sets these game state properties.I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to encapsulate this stuff, while still allowing my other classes to access it.
1) Do I need a constructor? I mean, my program will never have more than one GameState. If I should call my getters/setters as instance methods, how do I get each other class to reference the SAME instance from their respective packages?
2) Do I even need getters and setters? Perhaps the class could just have 3 public properties? If so, how would I acheive the proper scope with regard to my other classes?
3) Should I assign everything to the class itself using the static keyword? If so, how would I implement and use those static methods?
4) Is this a mistake? Did I totally just program myself into a corner?

How do I fix this? With this code in my class:
function moveDelay():Void {
myInterval = setInterval(this.movePoints, delay);
}
I lose scope when it calls the function. "this" becomes undefined.

I have 3 files.
main.fla
PHP Code:
import classes.LevelObj;
var newLevel:LevelObj = new LevelObj();
var levelListener:Object = new Object();
levelListener.onLoaded = function(oEvent:Object) {
[Code] .....
Now this runs great but in the loadLevel function of LevelObj.as, when I receive the event from the GBXML class that it has finished loading I want to call another function within the same class (LevelObj) to continue with further processing the XML data. What I make of it, is that I am still within the scope of the myListener object. Should I use a Delegate function here to get to the function within the LevelObj scope?And how about properties from the LevelObj scope? When doing a simple trace of some testVar I get undefined. Logical ofcourse because it is not within the same scope. But I am stuck here.
This is the part that should contain the call to the function..
PHP Code:
myListener.onLoaded = function(oEvent:Object):Void {
trace("LevelObj.XObj > "+oEvent.success);
if (oEvent.success) {
trace(testVar); //CALL FUNCTION HERE IN SCOPE OF LevelObj
} else {

I've got a custom mxml component that currently implements IResponder. Passing this IResponder to a function works fine using this. This, however, includes implementing the public methods result and fault, so I'm asking if it isn't possible to pass a new IResponder to a function, somehow like this: object.function(someProperty:String, new IResponder());

public function addNewMc():void{
var newMC:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
this.addChild(newMC);
}
public function removeOldMc(newMC):void{
this.removeChild(newMC);
}
How can I create a new MovieClip within a method, which can be used throughout the class, without defining it at the top of the class? And for extra points, without using return. I can get it to work, if the first function addNewMc returns the value newMC, and passing that to any other methods.

I already found some things about the Delegate class online for setting the scope correctly, but my code still doesn't work the way it should Problem I need the XML data to be accesible in the public function Strip() because the user needs to put in some characters to strip from the strings in the xml file. Does someone known how to fix this scoping problems?

I'm not an experienced Actionscript user so I'm not sure what the normal way to associate a custom class with a movieclip that has been designed in the Flash IDE is. I made a class called Window to control a movieclip called TestWindow. There are some buttons in the movieclip whose
functionality I would like to assign the instance of class Window. How is this supposed to be done? Here's a representation of what I mean. I hope it is sort of clear. My actual problem is that the local variables are outside the scope of the onPress function but I also think there must be some other way of associating classes with movieclips that have been designed in the IDE.

My question deals directly with ActionScript 3, although it could possibly appear in other languages. Consider the global trace function found in AS3. Calling the method requires no imports and is globally available from all classes.
class A {
public function A() {
trace("Hello, A!"); // Hello, A!
}}
Now, what if I create my own class method of the same name? In AS3, if I have a class method trace and then make a call to trace elsewhere in my class, the call is made to the class method over the global function. Essentially, I've blocked my ability to call the global trace method.
class B {
public function B() {
trace("Hello, B!"); // no output
} public function trace(s:String):void {
// do something else.
}}
Now, I know the obvious answer is to say, "don't create a class method called trace." But what if I'm unaware of the existence of the global trace function? Or what if I have a desire to "override" or "block" the global function? Is doing so bad programming? Or is this just another example of how AS3 is a poor object oriented language?
