ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Focus On Sprite Class?
Nov 30, 2009
I'm tryin to set the global focus to a specific class that already exists on the stage after I remove a popup dialog from the screen. I pass the name of the class that was on the stage before the popup dialog is shown by string to the popup class.So public function PopupMenu(pClass:String)after I remove the popup dialog, I want to restore focus back to the previous class so it can accept key events again.How would I set focus to an instance of an object on stage. Currently I have something like this:
Main.mainStage.focus = (InteractiveObject)(getDefinitionByName(prevClass));
but it returns this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.cox::IdleScreen$ to flash.display.InteractiveObject.
[code]......

I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.
package {
import flash.display.*;

My Sprite class keeps losing focus when I click with the mouse - specifically after the MOUSE_DOWN event (before the click is complete).
I have set mouseEnabled to false on the children, no change. I added a listener for FOCUS_OUT and noticed that the FocusEvent.relatedObject property is NULL, which is confusing me - doesn't that mean there is no new focus target, the focus is just getting lost?
The exact sequence of events I get, by tracing them, as I click:
[FocusEvent type="focusOut" bubbles=true cancelable=false eventPhase=2 relatedObject=null shiftKey=false keyCode=0]
[MouseEvent type="mouseDown" bubbles=true cancelable=false eventPhase=2 localX=355

i have a BasicMap.as that takes an Array and populates itself with the MC objects passed to it by a String reference.it inherits from Sprite, and so it just places the objects on its self.then i have a class that inherits from that class, and gives a little more functionality to it, but in order for it to do that, it needs to place the objects not on itself, but instead inside a holder Sprite, so here is my problem:
code:
package Mushroom{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I'm wondering (based on scoping rules) how I might do the following: I want to draw to a sprite that exists on the main stage in which I have a class instantiated.
So something like
public function MyClass(reference:String){
this.reference = reference;
}
[Code]...
Would I use super() in this case, or what's the usual methodology?

I am trying to build a flip clock that utilizes filmstrip pngs. I have the main class instantiaing instances of the flipper class to hold the different number postions of the clock and then I want to tell the flipper instances to animate when the timer reaches a certain point in the main class. The problem is when I tell the flipper class to start animating I get a null value error from the flipper class.[code]Ok I guess writing it our helps figured out that the flipper wasn't through loading when I tried to call its properties, duh. Now can someone refresh my memory on how to broadcast an event to the Main class when the flipper class is done animating? I know I have to set bubbling to something but can't remeber exactly what it is. Also its not letting me create a singleton instance of the Main class in the Flipper class, I've done this before in other projects can someone tell me what I am missing on this one?

I have a class which subclasses Sprite (Class1). In this class I draw something on the stage. I have another class (Class2) that creates several instances of the first class (Class1) and places them on the stage. As I am creating the instances of Class1, I am adding an event listener for the CLICK event for each instance.When I click on any of the Class1 instances, I would like to execute a public function in Class1. However e.target is Sprite and I cannot conver it to type Class1.

So I have a class that extends sprite. When I call an instance of my thumbnail object, I apparently can't use typical transforms on it by accessing .x and .y properties. These are not inherited from the superclass? Do I need to tell it to inherit these traits?

i'd like to add all or most of my mouse events to stage, but in order to do that i need to be able to tell what is the type of the sprite being clicked.i've added two sprites to the display list, one of which is from a class called Square, the other from a class called Circle.
var mySquare:Sprite = new Square();
var myCircle:Sprite = new Circle();
addChild(mySquare);[code]...........
so far i know how to do is determine if it IS a sprite display object, but since i'll only be working with sprites i need something more specific.rather than checking "is Sprite", is there a way i can check "is Square" or "is Circle"?
if (myArray[myArray.length - 1] is Square)

Is there a way to add text programmatically in as3 to a Sprite or a MovieClip without using the class TextField
TextField inherits from InteractiveObject which is kind of heavy for what I want to do: just display text (i.e. I don't want to interact with the text).
Note: I'm aware that there is a property selectable to make the textfield not selectable. This is not the point.

For the life of me I can't work out why this script is not working: In the library are two movieclips: pink_sprite and green_sprite each of which has a attached class pinkSprite and greenSprite. These classes in turn are extenders of the hitTest.as class below.

my current idea is that I'll have a sprite as a swf. This sprite has 2 dynamic colors (if you don't know what that is, imagine a sprite that has a color depending on which team he is in, something like that). So I'll have 3 clips on 3 layers.
- non colour
- colour 1
- colour 2
thing is, I don't want it to be solid colours. (and i'm not the artist.) Am I heading in the right direction?

Say i have these two classes:
MAIN.as
package
{
import flash.display.*; import mx.core.*;
import flash.events.*; import mx.collections.*;
[Code]...
Now how is it that I can add the variable SPRITE which is a Sprite in the OBJECT_square class to the display list of MAIN class? I've tried addChild(SPRITE) and super.addChild(SPRITE). If everything works I should see a red square somewhere on the screen but right now its all blank, except for the text drawn in the MAIN class.
Basically I want it so i can just make a new OBJECT_square and it will draw itself without any more instructions from the MAIN class.
