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'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.
Here's what I have so far:
DOCUMENT CLASS
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import mcCloud;
[Code].....
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?
In my project are pages of text with each word having a button that when pressed will display a movieclip presentation about that word (its pronounciation and spelling etc..). In the project I am working on now I have over 450 unique presentations of words to deal with. I don't want to have all of these hundreds of movie clips on the stage and tell them one at a time to stop and rewind and then have one play each time a word button is pressed. That seems to be very inefficient to me.
add movieclips to the stage using addChild(movieclipname) and remove them using removeChild(movieclipname) but there is a problem. I have hundreds of unique movieclips and I don't want to have to manage hundreds of variables containing the indivudual movieclip instancess. It is a real pain having to figure out what instance is still on the stage before i delete it.In Adobe Director all I have to do is this:
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'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...
[Code]...
I need to increment an integer variable in a function within the document class upon transpiring event in another class. I can't seem to figure out how to call the function and reference the variable.
View 2 RepliesI have an array in my doc class that I'd like to access from an external class. Can you do this and if so what's the syntax?
View 6 Repliesi know this may seem kind of dumb, but how does one access the document class from a child movie clip on the stage?
i have a property in my class. Just a string for testing:
Code:
public var s:String = 'can you see me';
it traces on the root time line, but it errors out if tracing it from a movieclip on the root time line.
I'm trying to change a varialbe in a seperate class from inside a movieclip that I have on the stage in the timeline, but the variable I'm trying to change keeps coming up as null instead of what I am trying to change it to. How is this usually done?
View 6 RepliesI declare a Boolean variable in my main class (Main.as file)[code]What I want is to change myboolean variable from inside a movie clip I've got on stage (when it reaches a certain frame).[code]
View 1 RepliesI am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");
[code]....
My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.
I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.
View 9 RepliesI've created 2 public variables in my Document Class...
public var _wall1:Wall=new Wall();public var _wall2:Wall=new Wall();I've then added them to the stage and given them relevant instance names...
stage.addChild(_wall1);_wall1.x=32; _wall1.y=510;_wall1.name = "wall1";I then want to use these variables in another Class (Ball.as). They need to be accessed in a function within the Ball Class constructor.
function bubble(event:Event):void{if(this.hitTestObject(_wall1)){ this.x += 1;}else if(this.hitTestObject(_wall2)) { this.x -= 1;}However, the following Error message keeps appearing...
1120: Access of undefined property _wall1.1120: Access of undefined property _wall2.Any pointers? Do I need to import something into the Ball Class to point to the _wall# public variables in the Document Class?
So I had a working .fla, with a document class package in the same directory. Everything was fine, until moving both to a new directory, now the fla cannot find the document class. WTF?
View 2 Replieswell, i'm getting into flash classes, and i'm working on my first project using self written classes. but i got a question about variables.i've got a MC rad_container with the class Rad linked to it. By using class instances i can now send the variable from the MC to the class, and get it returned.but i want to use the same varhere's my class Rad
Code:
class Rad extends MovieClip {
public var ballKleur:String;

I want to know how you access a variable within the fla file from the Document class?I want an int inside the fla or swf file to be accessed from the class that is being used to run the file?
View 5 RepliesOn the stage I have a movieclip by the name of rect_mc. Inside it have have a MovieClip square_mc.In the time line that I get when I double click on rect_mc (timeline of rect_mc) I have written the following code
var width1:Number;
width1 = sqaure_mc.width;
How can I access width1 from the document class?The thing that I want to is access the variable declared (width1) in the timeline of rect_mc. Just for the sake of a example only I choose the width of MovieClip.My doubt is how can access a variable declared inside the timeline of rect_mc from the document class. It could be any variable.My document class is:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip[code]....
I want to find out whether my swf was loaded locally or from another swf. For this purpose I have declared a variable 'parentType' in my fla. var parentType:String = String(parent); There is a function in the document class that determines whether swf was loaded locally or from another swf. The name of the function in the document class is 'externalOrInternal'. The varaible parentType is passed as a parameter to the function externalOrInternal externalOrInternal(parentType); The name of the document class is Main. In the constructor of Main I have the function pollResize() (the use of this function is to listen for the resizing event. That part of the code is not shown in the snippet given below).
[Code]...
I see that swfParentType is has value insde the function externalOrInternal. My doubt is why null is traced inside the function pollResize. Why is it not [object Stage] as inside externalOrInternal. Due to this I am not able proceed further with the stage resizing event.What needs to be done so that proper value is traced in the function pollResize.
I've made a custom sound class:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.media.SoundTransform;
[Code] .....
What I would like that class do is to trace a variable that is on Main.as which is Document Class, after a sound completed playing.
I have a new FLA with a variable in frame 1:
Code:
var testVar:String = "hello";
//--- my document class:
package
[Code]....
I just get null. How can I see a variable like that?
My problem is when I try to make both class receive and send. It doesnt work.Here IF ONLY ONE CLASS SEND and 1 CLASS RECEIVE it works
Class A variable a ---> Class B variable _a; WORKS
Using this code:
My class A
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip
[code]....
But when I try to make them both receive and pass it says
Quote:
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///E|/Andrew%20Documents/ColiisionDetection%20Kit/New%20Folder/passingandreceiving.swf contains invalid data.
at CLb()
at CLa()
Here is the code when they both receive and pass.
Class A
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip

Setting properties of a nested clip from the associated document class of the parent clip. I am developing a Jigsaw puzzle in Flash. I am developing a class for puzzle piece. The code of the PuzzlePiece class in given as follows.
PuzzlePiece class
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class PuzzlePiece extends MovieClip {
private var pieceX:Number;
[Code] .....
Is it wrong to access it like that. The PuzzlePiece is the export for a puzzle clip. For the time being I am hard coding the dimension as 60. I have aloso uploaded the fla and as files. [URL].
I have a big bit of action script that I want to reuse on various frames. Rather than write it out on each frame I want to embed the script within a movie clip and embed that movie clip on each frame that it is required to be used on.
In order to do that I need to pass a different value into the movie clip.
Basically the script creates 20 pages on one frame, 40 pages on another frame and 60 on the last page.
This is the bit of code that needs to have the number fed to it:
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = newArray(20);
The number 20 is currently set manually. I ideally want to write this within the movie clip:
ActionScript Code:
var myArray:Array = newArray(frameVal);
and on the stage I want to set the variable like this:
Frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 20;
Frame 2:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 40;
Frame 3:
ActionScript Code:
var frameVal:Number = 60;
The movie clip that contains my code has an instance name of "testStart"
how do I get it to pass the frameVal into the movie clip?
I have a problem with my actionscript. I can't pass the variable from scene 1 textbox to a movie clip textbox.My scene 1 textbox has a name of resultText. My movie clip is call over_mc which is on the symbols definition.the textbox for the movie clips is call finalResultText.here is my code:
_root.over_mc.finalResultText.text = resultText.text;
Using Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)

If I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,
fla1.fla has a document class of MyMainClass:
public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip
fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass:
public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.
while working with a server side script (php or aspx) which returns some data(from the database) can we call it in a sub-class or do we have to make the calls in the document class itself?
View 2 RepliesSay i need to send some data from AS 3.0 to a server-side script for it to do some actions. Can I do this in a sub-class called some where in a document class or should we always do it in a document class?
View 1 RepliesOk, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?
I have a custom class created by a main document class, and I want the custom class to run a function in document class after some time.
How can I sent the instruction from custom class back to the document class?[code]...
