ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing An Object To A Class Function?
Apr 27, 2011
I keep getting this error #2007 i want to parse the stage and pass a bullet object to a class function that function is called every ENTER_FRAME in the class itself
because the bullet object is added to the stage and on the bullet, there is a event listener to call a function in a class every ENTER_FRAME
but now i want to delete this bullet as it leaves the screen on the top because bullets in this game can only fly upward.
this is some of the code so far in the class itself:
when I have access to my variables. I have the the follow code:
class Slider { var myVar = 4; function Slider () {[code]....
The slider function is being called first to update the myVar value then the findValue function is called. How do I get the find Value function to output 6 ? I want a function that updates the main classes' variable so thet I can use it from any function.
I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):
Code: class Test{ public function set movePlayer(_Playah:MovieClip):Void { trace(_Playah._x);
[Code]....
and when I "run" this function in my .fla file, its says "undefined" (for this position) how to "pass" MC informations to a function inside a class (x,y coordinates, rotation..) although when I trace only "_Playah" it shows the correct name of MC i've passed to it.
I am wanted to know how can i pass a parameter to the function which I'm calling using Delegate class. I know to pass params having static values such as true / false or a static string "hello".
Code: var myFunc:Function = btn.onRelease = Delegate.create(tihs, releaseHandler); myFunc.str = "hello"; function releaseHandler()
[code]....
Here str can be retrieved as 'arguments.caller.str' inside the function.But in case i want to pass the reference of the 'btn' button. Then how can i do this ?
My web application pass a javascript object to flex application using addCallback function. when the flex application is in modal dialog in safari browser, the object in the flex application is null and when I open the flex application just in a new window, the object is passed correctly. But, I need the showmodaldialog to show the flex application.
The flex code: ExternalInterface.addCallback( "handleEvent", handleEvent ); override public function handleEvent( event:Object ):Object { Alert.show(String(event)); .....
I saw a post that touched on this, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own for explicit verification. It seemed that some of the resident geniuses here had given the thumbs-up to passing your whole doc or app class to a function. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as this sounds convenient but I assumed it would cause heart attacks and CPU meltdowns.
EXAMPLE: Say I have an app class that controls my entire game (or slideshow), and it has an ENTER_FRAME scrolling function that's 50 lines long with tons of conditionals so I want to take it out and make it an external file. I pop it into a new .as file but now all my variables are out of scope. I could pass them each individually, but there are so many it's impractical. So my question is: good or bad practice to pass the entire class?
I want to create a MovieClip, pass this MovieClip to a function in another class where it will be modified.The problem is, when I pass the MovieClip as a parameter to a function and start making changes, the changes are only made locally. The "copy" of the MovieClip inside the function gets changed, but the "real" MovieClip back in my main game class remains unchanged. Here's the code from my Main class:
Code: var resourceLoader:ExternalResourceLoader = new ExternalResourceLoader(); var myMovieClip:MovieClip;[code].....
public class Example { public function Example () { }[code]............
You can see that the two last classes extend the first one, and both have the 'variable' property. In case that I have an instance of Example and I am sure it is also an ExtendedExample OR AnotherExtendedExample instance, is there some way to access the 'variable' property? Something like
function functionThatReceivesAnExtendedExample (ex:Example):void { if(some condition that I may need) { ex.func()
im creating multiple objects (the number is dynamic)they move randomly, but i want dont want them to be able to pass thru each other.i'm having dificulty on writing the hitTextObject code because I dont know how to refer the other objects.[code]
I'll try to make this as clear as possible. Let's say i have 4 "classes".
[Code]...
Let's say now i use a loop to create 8 obj. I'd like to assign a class to each obj in function of an array like : array = [class1, class2, class1, class3, class2, class4... ] so obj0 class' should be array[0]
i have a movie clip which is exported for ActionScript , i want to get a variable from the document class into the movie clip class i tried this but there was an error !!
ActionScript Code: var main:Main=new Main(); main.txtScore.text="hello";
I created a movieclip with a star. Then, I creates a document class and I named it as Main.as.
In that document class I wrote: package { import flash.display.*; public class Main extends MovieClip
[Code]....
I´m not posting here all the code, but you can easily see that I´m using x_origin and y_origin variables to keep the original position of the movie clip. I will use them to move the star back to the original position.
The problem is that instead of being 20 and 30 respectively, tracing them I see that they are both ZERO. So when I drop the star, instead of going to x=20,y=30 it moves back to x=0 and y=0. I´ve to get the star position relative to stage, but I can´t find anyway!
I'm trying to create a class which will create a tween for several different instances of an object. I am creating the instances in the Document Class. The trick is, I would like to specify how long each tween will take.
As you can see, I have a variable "myTime" which syncs the timer and the tween. This causes to tween to repeat and the clouds to continually scroll across the stage. How can I determine the var myTime at the time I create each instance of the Movie Clip mcCloud?
I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).
ActionScript Code: for (i=0; i<array_BE_ElecCities.length; i++) { var attachElecCity = mc_map.mc_places.attachMovie("Plant",
I've got a document class (EgoGame.as) and another class (Ball.as) which has been duplicated to deal with several different video pieces. Inside the document class is a list of 'if' statements which decide which video should be played. At the moment I'm doing it the old fashioned way whereby if the condition is true....it tells the relevant Ball class to gotoAndPlay a certain frame within the linked movieclip...
I have a class CoverPoint extends Pointwith some extra function.except for that ther is no difference. I would like to use the functions of Point with a return value of Point, to calculate those CoverPoints.Can i turn the return value into CoverPoint (since all the vars are the same, there shouldn't be a problem with that, right?), so that it can be stored in my var cP:CoverPoint;
so, i think it's just cause it's the end of the day and my brain wants to quit, but i would like some input.
im trying to pass a function to a question box that when you click the YES button the function passed in will fire for some reason im having a hard time holding the function until the YES is clicked.
here is what i got Code: //the call that opens the choice box and sets the info the gui_obj part is cause the //funciton is in a separate class file gui_obj.displayChoice("Add the cell phone to your inventory?", "YES", "NO", gui_obj.addToInventory(item))
I'm new to AS3, I have an index.swf that loads thumbnail images from this file (projects_list.xml). When the user clicks on a thumbnail image I want it to pass the selected thumbnails "link" node information to the callFull function. You can see that I have managed to get it to work when I use the real path name. I just can't figure out how to pass the link node text.
Projects_list.xml file set up Code: <project id="0" name="Con" thumb="portfolio/images/con/thumbs/web_1_200pix.jpg" htm="" link="portfolio/xml/desc/desc_con.xml"></project> desc_con.xml file set up (details file) [Code].....
I have a class that works with an external swf with play, pause and slider. Now that I have all that working, I'd like to be able to pass the URL of the external SWF to the class from the main fla AS. I managed to use a 'set' inside the class to retrieve the name, but it apparently doesn't trigger until after the external SWF gets loaded.
Code snippets follow: CntlClass: public var loader:Loader; private var _urlName:String; public function CntlClass() { loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, movieLoaded); loader.load(new URLRequest(_urlName)); public function set urlName(value:String):void { _urlName = value; }
Main FLA file - other than a controller (cntl_mc) containing a play button, a pause button, and a slider, the only thing in the FLA file is this code in the first frame: cntl_mc.urlName = "extswf.swf";
I am making a game project using tiles. I want to ask bout the xml.
I know how to load an xml data into the stage by using one class from library
However, rite now, I have 3 customer_mc with class for each: char1,char2,char3
And i have this xml data called customer_xml that contents the customer name,order and payment. So far i know how to call one class and do a for loop but i cant find a way to call three classes and put it into the for loop.
function init(xmlString:String):void { customer_xml = new XML(xmlString); for (var i:uint = 0; i<customer_xml.customer.length(); i++) { var customer_mc:char1= new char1();
[Code].....
how can i put three customer mc into the for loop? Do I put it in an array?
Second, I don't want it to be put randomly on the stage but only on the right corner of the stage. Is that mean, I put a precise coordinate for the customers mc?
I have those 2 function inside a class named MenuScreen.as, What I want to do is send a value true or false to another class named Game.as.If the user clicked mouse icon the value must be true and if user clicked keyboard icon it must be false.[code]
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:
I have 3 movieclips in the Libarary, called (both by name and class) section0, section1 and section2.This works for instance to attach a movie clip to the stage:
Code: var myMovie:MovieClip = new section1; addChild(myMovie);
