ActionScript 3.0 :: Sub-class Refer/communicate With Super Class?
Jun 22, 2010i have recently started a project that would require writing a set of classes and a small API.i know some basics of inheritance and extending classes but i still have some questions.
1) how should sub-class refer/communicate with super class.i think that dispatching events is the way to go but i have no experience on that. i have previously done it by having a parent set up a reference to itself in a subclass e.g
ParentClass.addChild(SubClass);
SubClass.myParent = ParentClass;
//i know that there is already a "parent" keyword in flash objects if i extend one but is that a decent way to communicate with super class
e.g SubClass.myParent.removeChild(this);//sounds a bad call
//but is it better if i dispatched an event that calls the removeChild() in the parent.i have is about dispatching events in a class that is likely going to be extended.
ActionScript Code:
public class Button
{
//add event listeners[code]....
//now if i extend the Button class into another class, let say ControllerButton and want that button to dispatch different event. e.g ControllerEvent, i am forced to override and rewrite all the common stuff in the handler functions.how to avoid having to override allot of common stuff.

Jan 12, 2011If one uses [Embed] to refer to external graphic assets its easy to instantiate and use them.However, I've got a png in an Fla, with the Class identifier set to "Symbols", Base class is BitmapData.I need to instantiate it like this:
var symbols:BitmapData = new Symbols(1, 1);
addChild(new Bitmap(symbols));
Of course the compiler complains about a call to a possibly undefined method Symbols.For a temporary fix I guess i'll put the graphic external to the swf, but for this project it needs to be in the library along with everything else.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Main Class Path Without Carring Around Instance Refer?
Jan 6, 2007I spent my holyday in studing new Flash 9, very good, powerfull but I doesn't find anymore my root, in teory is transformed in stage.root but it doesn't work.I want to understand if I make a mistake in my code or in my approach.I make a simple example with a few object containers.In the firsts lines of the constructor of the mail class I create the style class named tf and then the interface class called interf.Here is my class
Code:
package test {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import test.tf;[code]....
how to get the tf1 Object that as to be in stage.root.mytf.tf1 as some documentation say? If you doesn't comment that line you have an error. Obviously you can carry with you the object because is a small object with a few nidification but It seems to me very very bad for performance and code.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Variable Value To Refer To A Movieclip On Stage
Aug 8, 2006asically I have a variable in which I store various numbers depending on other aspects of the flash movie and I have a bunch of movieclips that are on the stage all named by number. I want to use the variable value to access and run methods etc of these movieclips.
e.g.
var myVar = "10";
myVar.myFunction();
where the item on stage called '10' will react. I realise this is a confusion between a string and an object/movieclip reference but i'm almost certain ive done this before and ive got a feeling it had something to do with [] brackets on the end of something...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Nested Clip From Class?
Jul 23, 2009I use the loader class to load in an external swf, a preloader movie in my class. (not a document class)
To target the properties in the swf (specifically the text field in it), I coerce it to a movie clip after it's loaded and add the child with:
var thumbPreloaderMC:MovieClip=evt.target.content as MovieClip;
now I can use:
thumbPreloaderMC.preload_text.text "sometext";
to reach the text field. works.
But, I want to nest that clip in a container movieclip I'm placing all the thumbnails I'm loading in, thumbContainer.
So I create the movieclip thumbContainer, add the child, then add the preloader swf to this clip.
I can't name the loaded swf, it throws an error, I googled that and see I can't name an already named clip.
I get an error "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."
First of all, I'm fairly green with as3 still, I think perhaps I should rethink how I'm structuring this. I could and would ask how to target a nested loaded swf from a class.
is nesting clips like this from a class bad practice? What are best practices when it comes to using timeline based animations like preloaders etc by a class? I'd like to make my class as reusable as possible, but one can't create all animations and graphics from code.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Access Nested MC From Parent Class
Jan 15, 2010Ok im rather new to flash so ill do best i can to describe this. I have a HealthBar movie clip with 3 layers, bottom layer is just a red rectangle, middle layer is a green rectangle that is a movie clip, and the top layer is just a border. the green rectangle movie clip has an instance name of bar. i put my HealthBar on my stage with an instance name of healthBar and i change it when the players health goes down by calling _root.healthBar.bar._xscale = health where health is 0-100.
this works all fine and dandy. now i have a movie clip of MiniBoss with an instance name of miniBoss# where # is a number of the layer depth when it is created. in the MiniBoss movie clip i have an instance of the HealthBar with an instance name of bossHealthBar. i tried to call from within the MiniBoss class bossHealthBar.bar._xscale = health but i get an error that there is no property of bossHealthBar.bar._xscale. how do i access the bar in the HealthBar in the MiniBoss clip from the MiniBoss class in its onEnterFrame() method?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Nested Instances From Another Class?

Both class and map are children of document class...
ActionScript 2.0 :: Avoiding Nested Functions In A Class?
Nov 9, 2004I have run into this problem twice now, for two different reasons. Technically the more recent time it isn't a roadblock, but rather I just want to avoid memory waste by not using nested functions for my event handlers.[URL]
The reason I've come to this forum is that I always went on my merry way, defining event handler functions on movieclips within functions, until today, I read "I really didn't like the idea of defining an event handling function within a method of a class. I don't think nested functions are a really good practice." in the archives of the BIT-101 blog. So I decided to try to extract these and assign only a reference to each movieclip that needs the function. The problem is, it's in a class - and I need access to the properties of the movieclip from within the function. I figured I might be able to extend MovieClip, but I don't want anything in the library, so I run into the problem of how I would use my new movieclip-extending class - I read something about using the Linkage name of "__Packages."+[classname] - is that really proper? Either way, my final question is - if it's not good practice to use nested functions within the class, where do I create my event handler functions?
