ActionScript 3.0 :: Return ContentLoaderInfo From Another Class?
Nov 4, 2009
I am writing a method in a FileIO class called returnBMP()
The idea is: I want to pass it a file name, and I want it to return a Bitmap. ( not a loader )
The problem is that the only way I know how to pull a bitmap out of a loader is by creating an eventListener on the contentLoaderInfo for COMPLETE.
That just doesn't work in a return function. the return is executed before the bitmap is loaded. I get a null..
here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
public function returnBMP(img){
var bmp:Bitmap;
var loader = new Loader();
[Code]....

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):

I found myself loading a new XML file every day and so decided to create a small class that will load the xml file and return it.The class is loading the file but when i try to return it to a new xml object in the document class it doesnt load it.I think that it's something to with the return being in a nested function but i tried a few ways and non seems to work.

i want to essentially classify a simple function in it's own .as file. the function compares integers. but i don't know how to call the class and receive a boolean return.
here's my class
package
{
public class CompareInts
{
[Code]....
so now i'd like to write something like this:
if (CompareInts(1, 5) == true). or output 'true' by writing trace(CompareInts(1, 5));

I have to implement a menu with icons using actionscript only. I create a data provider from XML and set
menu = Menu.createMenu(null, dataArray, true);
menu.iconFunction = iconFunction;
Till here everything is fine and my menu is presented, but only with labels.
I create iconFunction as following:
private function iconFunction(item:Object):Class
{
var st:Loader = new Loader();
st.load(new URLRequest(item.icon));
return ?;
}
how do I return my loader object as Class?

Is there anyway to include a function or overrite something in a class that'll output a custom string when the object is called as a string?
So for example if I created a class named "myClass" and I instantiated it:
Code:
var myObject : myClass = new myClass();
When I:
Code:
TextControl.text = "blah blah, " + myObject;
myObject is getting casted as a string. Normally it would output:
"blah blah, [object myClass]"
Is there a built-in function that recast the object as string? Is there anyway for me to change that string output? I know I can just make a public toString() method in the class or something, but just wondering if there was something better.

I have an as3 class that I use for communicating with my Zend_AMF endpoint:
[Code]...
All of this works fine, but it takes a lot of work to use it. I always expect a Response object when calling send() on my request. Ideally I would like to be able to call request.send() and have it return a Response object directly and not having to deal with a listener: var result:Response = request.send(); Is this possible? If so, how can I go about doing this?

I'm making a custom class and all my get functions are working fine except the one that returns an array. Here is the code for my class (abridged to the relevant parts):
ActionScript Code:

How do I get an array to return correctly? Doing trace(VI1.getData()[0]) doesn't work either.

Is the AS2 to AS3 conversion part of the problem (aside from my ignorance of how to use it)?

I have a CSV reader class that parses a CSV file.....
1,11.15126526
2,11.28306635
3,10.78296071
4,10.79878325
The CSV reader class works and produces a Vector.<Point> ... However the container class (which includes an instance of the CSVFile class) needs to access the resultant Vector. Whenever I 'return' the Vector.<Point> to the container via a CSV method it is always empty...I don't know if its something to do with the size of the Vector<> or what?

As a part of a class I have been asked to place a preloader in front of my projects. I can't believe how tough this is. I get the best results when I use an URLRequest, but I want to understand the timeline.When I put a working preloader in front of my movie it doesn't start "ticking" until some middle point like 20%, or 70% depending on the file size of the movie. When I trace the bytes.Loaded it doesn't start counting until 700K or so.I have looked at several different preloaders and none seem to work as well as the tutorial. Can someone direct me to an "easy to understand" source that explains the loaderInfo / contentLoaderInfo class?

I have a class ErrorMessages which holds all my error messages as static constants. So I could access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD_INVALID or ErrorMessage.PASSWORD_TOO_SHORT. I want to know if it is possible to have separate classes that hold subset of these constants and access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.INVALID or ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.TOO_SHORT, etc. This way I can more structured static structure and makes it much easier to use autocomplete. I tried few different ways and couldn't figure out if this was possible..

How do you return data from a custom class, and only when something in the custom class has completed something. For example, let's say I have this code in the custom class[code]...
This, of course, doesn't work. I need the whatever.getLoadedObject() method to wait until the loading has finished inside the custom class then do whatever with the image loaded.

Here's the code in question:

When I preview the file I get the following errors: Quote: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property bytesLoaded through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader. 1119: Access of possibly undefined property bytesTotal through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader. If I comment out the onProgress function and it's associated event listener the file runs fine. I believe both event listeners call the flash.events

How do I access the object of an event? Can't quite figure it out. This is what's happening.
object.contentLoaderInfo(Event.INIT, someFunction);
private function someFunction(e:Event):void{
trace(e.target);
}
Output = [object LoaderInfo]
I want to access the parent of the object, but I'm hitting a dead end.

I am loading images dynamically from the web into my swf. I use a loader class and add an Event Listener to the loader so it will add the image to the stage when done.
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < number; i++){
var poodleLoader = new Loader();
poodleLoader.load(new URLRequest(urls[i]));
poodleLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showPoodle);
}
But what I do not manage to do is referring from the Event.COMPLETE-event to the loader object in my showPoodle-function. How do I refer to it? I was thinking addChild(e.target.parent.data) but it tells me the contentLoaderInfo has no parent?

I currently have my own class, for arguments sake, lets say it's called User and is for logging into my own system.
I would like to call a function from the user class called, say, login(), which would send the username and password attributes to a service (in my case, PHP), and then get the data back with the response (either successful or unsuccessful).
This would ideally make my code behave like this:
Code:
var user1:User = new User("Jim", "password");
var loggedIn:Boolean = user1.login();
[Code]....
I don't know of a way of getting the login function to return a boolean based on the result of the HTTPservice it sends, so does anyone know of a better way of doing this?

I have a preloader function that uses contentLoaderInfo to load swfs ont the stage. It works fine in simulated download in the Flash Player. When I run it on my host the swf file finishes downloading before the preloader appears to run. I use the word appears because I only sometimes spot a glimpse of a graphic that indicates the loading process.
Are there known discerpancies between host and Flash Player realities?
Are there any subtlties with using with contentLoaderInfo?

I basically have rectangles which I want to replace with images I load through XML references. The rectangle instance names are from image0-imageNumberWhatever. I've got everything working, the only thing I can't seem to do is once each image is loaded, it fades in instead of randomly appearing. Below is my code:
Code: Select allimport flash.net.URLLoader;
