ActionScript 3.0 :: Public Functions Being Called At Ttime Of Program Being Executed?
Sep 9, 2010
I started making my first complex game and ran into a problem that made me just stop everything I was doing and I have laid the project to rest until I can find out how to fix it.The problem is simple. I have a timer in a public class. The timer is private, but the function to start the timer is public. Only one class calls it. But as soon as the program starts, the timer function executes.Now that aside, why are some public functions being called at the time of the program being executed? The class that executes the function isn't even called until later/instantiated.

i am experimenting with basics of AS3.0 drawing api, and experiencing issue when nothing is displayed on the stage once program is executed.i used this code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class DisplayList extends MovieClip {
[code]....
changed the class name when creating class accordingly - but the output is the same: empty stage.

If I override a public function in a base class, I would have thought that this override function is called and the original is ignored? though this doesn't seem to be the case...
public class AbstractScreen extends Sprite
{
public function AbstractScreen()
{
[Code]....
If my model dispatches a CHANGED_LANGUAGE event, the text in the views gets updated, But I also get a trace of "WARNING: need to override public function updateLanguage()"

As I've been working with AS I've developed a collection of utility functions. For example:
$ cat utils/curried.as
package utils {
public function curried(f:Function, ...boundArgs):Function {
[Code]....
And I've found that, some times, I want to keep more than one public function in each file... But ActionScript restricts me to one public definition per file, if that file defines its self as being part of a package.
So, without creating a class with static methods, how could I get more than one public function in a single .as file?

I have an AS 3.0 class that loads a JSON file in using a URLRequest.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
[Code]....
When the file is finished loading, the mapHandler event makes changes to the class properties, which in turn are accessed using the getMapWidth function. However, if the getMapwidth function gets called before it finishes loading, the program will fail.
How can I make the class wait to accept function calls until after the file is loaded?

so I've worked with AS for a while now but I've always managed to avoid using external AS files so my knowledge of how to work with them is lacking. Right now I'm trying to work with the sample files from the vimeo API found a the bottom of the page here: It all works fine but I'm confused about how to call functions in these external files.I want to dynamically change the video being played from the fla file and have how to call the function VimeoPlayer from the fla file
ActionScript Code:
VimeoPlayer('XXXX', 35697686, 640, 360);
ActionScript Code:

No idea what I'm doing wrong here, it just won't let me access any of my public methods on my class. I just keep getting "Error 1180: call to a possibly undefined method"!
If I run the same function in the constructor of the class everything is fine.

My flex project uses FA-Bridge, and apparently in Safari browser I cannot call any of my public AS functions that have arguments passed in. For example I can call this AS function from javascript:
[Code]....
In the above call safari throws an error # 1063, (i.e. Argument count mismatch) in the safari javascript console, and points to line 561 in FaBridge.js. It thinks I didn't pass in the requied parameters. Now the above issue exists only on Safari. Both of the above approaches work on IE, Firefox and Chrome browsers. Note: I am NOT using swfObject for embedding my swf.

This probably is not possible however its worth a try! Would there be anyway to trace out the functions that are being called by the SWF? for example.[code]I know you could simply add a trace into the actual functions but thats not an option!

I have a linux distribution server, SME Server, and I use it to direct several domain names to a website on the server. My Flash program is a data driven directory that uses PHP constructed XML files to create the directory. I have been successfully using this Flash directory for some time using one particular domain, ictytranscripts.dyndns.org. I've since added a second domain name that I want to replace the first with, but for some reason the Flash program cannot read the XML files, or something. Whatever it is, the directories are not showing up.
There is nothing in the ActionScripts that have any reference to the old first domain name. I cannot imagine what is making the difference. Here is a test page showing the Flash program working successfully (I assume):
[URL]
And now the same page from different domains that direct to the same page:
[URL]
Notice that in the first the Flash program comes up, but there is no data displayed and in the second, there is no Flash program displayed at all.The XML files seem to be generated without any problems. [URL]

Is there a way to do that without using a bunch of "if" or "switch" statements, like shoving them all in an array?I have a rough idea of how it would work, but I have no idea how it would look in code.And just to clarify,I mean an order than can be changed.Otherwise I wouldn't need to think about this at all.

How would I go about evaluating an array of strings as function calls?Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var my_mc:MovieClip;
var myArray:Array = new Array("function1()", "function2()", "function3()");[code]....
I get an error "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor".In this case, I'm trying to dynamically add linked movie symbols from the library. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way... ?

I have a function that I want called when different mc's are rolled over.
img_hover = function (n){
_root.icap = _root.i+(eval(n))+_caption;[code].....
The "n" is an interger (ex. 1-200) that I need passed to this function with the rollover of an mc:
on (rollOver) {
_root.img_hover.apply('1');
}
I can't get this to work. I'm not sure of the proper way to pass the n value to the function in the img_hover.apply() code.The function should produce the following (ex. with n=23):
img_hover = function (n){
_root.icap = _root.i23_caption;
_root.idate = _root.i23_date;[code]...........

Imagine I have Class A that is listening to an Event on Class B. This listener will call Method X in the Class A. Inside Method X, "this" refers to the Instance of Class B, I'm not in the context of Class A. Isn't this a bit awkward, or am I getting everything wrong? Is there a way to make the listener call my method in the context of A?

I currently have a class that has a method that creates new duplicates of a clip on the screen, changes some of their properties (such as color, and text display), and then arranges them in a straight column.Inside that method, I have some clipEvent Statements for each button.
Code:
currentButton.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 70;
expandButton(this);[code]....
Now, the two functions that are called, expandButton() and shrinkButton(), will not execute. (they are other functions built into this class.)

I have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g. textField.text) for use in the functions called by the eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate movie clips.but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh the text I'm using.The button functions are fine with variables created prior to the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this something else altogether?Could it be that the buttons are created before the text boxes?

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
