ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Convert A MovieClip To A Class At Runtime?
Mar 8, 2012
I have a class which takes in another class as one of its parameters, and creates instances of it according to certain rules.In the past, I've had no problem with passing classes from the library to that class, which obligingly does its magic.In this case, however, I'm dynamically loading an image at runtime. I'm trying to wrap that image in a MovieClip, and somehow pass that clip *as a class*, to the one that creates multiple instances.Is this possible? I thought I'd cracked it with something like:
Code:
theMovieClip.addChild(thePicture);
var apples:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(theMovieClip)))
[code].....

I have a MovieClip with multiple child MovieClips. I would like to add a class to each child MovieClip. Unfortunately, I can't just create the class and mc.addChild(class) because classes aren't display objects.

I'm trying to place an instance of a movieclip (instance name: tehMovieClip) from the library within another movieclip (instance name: parentMovieClip) on the stage. tehMovieClip, the movieclip going inside another movieclip, belongs to a class called CollisonDetection (linkage properties, class:CollisonDetection, Base Class: flash.display.MovieClip). When I put tehMovieClip inside parentMovieClip, I get this runtime error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
If I just place tehMovieClip on the stage by itself, it works fine but I need it to be inside parentMovieClip.

I have a blank FLA. with document class index. I have an AS file name index saved in same folder. My custom package looks like this, but the movieClip does not display at runtime. I'm just trying to begin work with OOP and custom classes and I'm not sure why this isn't working for me:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class index extends MovieClip {
public function Main () {
var D:MovieClip = new dMC();
D.x = D.y = 100;
addChild(D);
}}}

I'm not really asking how. What I'm asking is, is it possible? And I ask because I thought it was not - certainly it didn't work in AS2 - and yet that's what I appear to have done. Am I going crazy? Structure: A SWF (#1) with a class NewActivity that extends class AActivity. Another SWF (#2) with a shared library of code in it, including AActivity. A third SWF (#3) which loads the library followed by SWF#1. Here's what happened: I didn't expect AActivity to be able to be shared. I mean, it should be compiled no matter what in SWF#1, as SWF#1 includes a class that extends AActivity. I had added some properties to the AActivity class, ran the project, and when SWF#3 tried to set those properties I was told they couldn't be applied. "Of course", I said, "I need to recompile SWF#1, because the code is now out of date. The version of the class there doesn't include these new properties.".
However, that didn't work. I got the same problem. Maybe, I thought, there's a definition conflict between SWF#1 and the library, so I removed the AActivity class from the shared library in SWF#2 for the time being. Only SWF#1 uses it, and it should already be compiled into SWF#1 as, like I said, it is extended by another class there. But when I ran the project, I was then told that the AActivity class could not be found at all! Looking at SWF#1 in a decompiler, there is in fact no mention of AActivity (I had up to this point assumed it was implied). So this left just one option: I needed to recompile the library in the first place, not SWF#1. I added AActivity back to the library, recompiled, and it worked.
To check I wasn't going crazy: I added a test property to the AActivity class and recompiled the library. The containing project - SWF#3 - then set this property on SWF#1, which had NOT been recompiled, and then read it back out. No errors. I should point out that the getting/setting of this property is done through an IActivity interface - AActivity is not being accidentally compiled into the main project (SWF#3), and the decompiler indicates this also. Am I going nuts? I really didn't think having a runtime shared super class was possible in any way. If it is, that opens up a whole new world of awesome, even though I've created this project on the basis of that being impossible.

How would I create a strongly typed class at runtime (so to be able to create instances of it)? It can't be a proxy.
Additional Info: For example, say I want to create a Person class with first and last where both are Strings.
Context This is for an application that lets you create the data model and custom components at runtime. This is only part of it. I need to be able to have strong typing. If that means going to the server and creating a new SWF on the server with the value objects then loading in the definition at runtime then I would but that is a lot more work if there is an alternative.

We are using GraniteDS autogenerated AS code to map Java remote objects to AS.
We have objects that contain List sites in Java so when they are converted to AS it looks like:
JAVA: private List<MyObject> territories;
Actionscript: private var _territories:ListCollectionView;
The trouble is we are using MXML databinding to bind the contents of that list generically, the trouble is we never reference the type of object contained in the list explicitly so it's never compiled into our SWF is there any way to ensure that objects in a list for a RemoteClass is compiled in?

Using org.as3commons.reflect I can look-up the class name, and instantiate a class at runtime.I also have (non-working) code which invokes a method. However, I really want to set a property value. I'm not sure if properties are realized as methods internally in Flex.I have a Metadata class which stores 3 pieces of information: name, value, and type (all are strings).I want to be able to loop through an Array of Metadata objects and set the corresponding properties on the instantiated class.[code]I realize that I have to declare a dummy variable of the type I was to instantiate, or use the -inculde compiler directive. An unfortunate drawback of Flex.Also, right now there's code to account for typecasting the value to it's specified type.

determine the base class of a Flash library object at runtime, using Actionscript? The toString method gives me the class of the object, but what I'd really like to determine is the superclass of the object. So, if I have an Actionscript class called "Fruit" and I created many different Fruit types in the Flash library ("Cherry", "Apple", etc.), is there a way in code I can determine that an "Apple" is a child of "Fruit"?

I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".

I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
What about AS3 classes am I misunderstanding?
