I use this to create new instances of a movieclip:[code]However, when duplicating the movie clip, another movie clip is also duplicated with a var referencing the first duplicated movie clip:[code]The var myurl in souce_mc is empty!
View 1 Repliesi have three mc's that look like cd's Three instances of the same movie clip. they go into a player onRelease. do any of you know how to do this... if i click on a cd it looks if any other cd's are clicked. if anyof them are clicked then it tells them to gotoAndPlay (thisKeyFrame) in that cd movie clip(which would be a simple tween and will look like the cd comes back out).
i tried setting variables in the cdMovie clip like on the first frame onValue="no" but once it goes in and stops the onValue="yes". and then i had AS on each cd looking if the onValue variable is yes or no in each one of them. but for some reason it can't read it? Do you know what i should do? maybe create an object or something for each button?

i am trying to load vars from a text file into a load vars object.
var kitchentext = new LoadVars();
kitchentext.load('moccastext.txt');
Once in the object, i thought i could reference them like so
kitchentext.name
kitchentext.style
but i am having trouble doing this.
i have a textbox called displytext.
_root.displaytext.text = kitchentext.name;
doesnt work
I usually use if(object!=null) but it doesn't work well.
How can I verify if the class is instantiated. I want to get rid of the 'cannot access a property of a null object or reference'.
I mean, the 'var object:Object;' is just a reference to an Object class instance. When i initialize it with 'object = new Object()' it runs the code in the constructor, initializing it. How can I check if it has been initialized or not.
I've been struggling with this for almost a day now and I can't seem to find the problem. I'm making an instantiated FLV playback class in actionscript 2, but it just doesn't play the video
Here's the code, if I uncomment the camera parts and attach _cam instead of _stream it will show the camera feed, it just won't play my movie (and I get no errors whatsoever).

I wanted to instantiate a class that would render a sprite, but it doesn't seem to want to add the graphics to my stage.
Here's the main class, it creates an instance of 'Canvas' which would basically be a gray square rectangle that fills the stage width/height.
Code:
package
{
import com.webkitstudio.Canvas;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code].....
I had more success rendering the gray box if i make a method in the Canvas class that renders it, but is it possible to do it from the constructor, is that even advisable? I'm somewhat an OOP noob, i don't completely understand where everything should go.
I'm facing problem regarding dynamic texts. My dynamic text is placed on the stage and instantiated. I'm setting the text value in AS by using textname.text = smthing... Initially it was showing the correct result on testing the movie clip.. But after few runs it started showing garbage values... When i traced the value, trace showed the correct result but not displayed properly on the dynamic text..I then deleted and recreated the texts.. After some trials od deleting and reinserting it started working fine.. But soon the problem creeped in.
View 2 RepliesI have this class called Main. And inside this Main class I have a method that I'd like to call from a the main timeline.
So on the main timeline I have instatiate the Main class like this:
var mainClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName("Main") as Class;
var main:Sprite = new mainClass(this, mc1_mc, mc2_mc);
addChild(main);
Then on the frame after that, I try to access a function inside that Class like this:
main.prepareGame();
But I get this error:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 3, Line 61061: Call to a possibly undefined method prepareGame through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite.
I'm very confused. When I instantiate a class, I'm assuming that the object is reset to its default variable values. Not so. Consider this:
Code:
class ClassTest extends MovieClip{
var arr:Array = new Array();
function ClassTest(){
[Code].....
...even if the two objects have different instance names! It's as if it is making my arr variable static by default, and not resetting it to a new array in the second instance. How do I get around this? Do I need to somehow have this code instantiate itself with something like "this = new ClassTest();"
h1. I have a Class (let's call it "Button") that is linked to a library item (a movieclip) which I have on the stage
2. Now this Button class, when clicked will produce an alert in the form of another class (let's call it "Alert").
3. There are two critical things in the way I want this to work:
A) I want Alert to be a child of the main stage, not the Button class
B) I want Alert to take care of adding itself to the display list, not have Button add it.
So in a nutshell, I want to call Alert like this:new Alert("Hello, Kirupa Forums!");
The Alert class needs to draw the shape (check), add the text (check), add itself to the display list (how? if I try to access "stage" I get a null reference, though I don't know why), and destroy itself (I'll burn that bridge when I get to it).
I've created an AlertBox component by doing the following:1) Create new fla fil2) Create shape and convert to movieclip on stage3) Name new movieclip AlertBox in movieclip properties4) Add custom class path in Properties -> Linkage dialog box and Component Definition dialog box:com.company.ui.AlertBox;4) Checked export in first frame box5) To test this stage: Export as SWC file6) Place SWC in components directory7) Create new test fla file
View 1 RepliesWhat I'd like to do is add an event listener to a class instantiated by my document class that listens for different key presses. So far I can't use stage.addeventListener or I get the null object error so my question is:
a: how do i add an event listener to the stage from another class and b: is it even necessary to add it to the stage , can I listen from that class?

I have a simple component I created which I instantiate in my main program like so:[code]I receive the error "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" on the second line because newMessage was not fully created prior to hitting the second line of code trying to set my "body" textarea's text. I know I can build a "creationComplete" event handler, but isn't there a simpler way to do this?

I have an XML file which has info about projects for my portfolio, there are 7 of them at the moment.

I have a mc in my library called SimpleButton and in the class path for that mc I have the path to my class: com.company.ui.buttons.SimpleButton.
But when I try to instantiate the symbol using the following code, it does not appear on the stage.
Code:
var simpleButton = new SimpleButton();
addChild(simpleButton);
The code works fine when the mc class path is just SimpleButton, the symbol is added to the stage. However when I try to use my own class, the base class disappears from the linkage box in the mc properties dialog and the symbol does not appear on the stage.
Here is my SimpleButton class:

I've got an object declared and instantiated in my Flex application's singular MXML file: public var CDN:CDNClass = new CDNClass; I would like to access this same CDN object (and its public methods and properties) in another class declared in a separate .as file as such:

But when I try to access the public method parsePlayList in the CDN object in a method in the class defined in the .as file, I get the following error: Access of undefined property CDN The reason I want to do this is to break up the logic of my application into multiple AS files and have minimal MXML files, probably only one.
I am having this problem with actionscript 2:
I have a class that instantiates a movieclip from the library, eg: myBar:MovieClip = level0.AttachMovie("debugbar", "debugbar_mc", 999);
myBar is an instance variable in the class.
Now the important part - debugbar in the library is a movieclip that contains some components - buttons and textInputs. The problem comes when trying to access these components.
I would have thought that this would work: myBar.input_txt.text = "hello";
in order to set the text of "input_txt", the instance name of a TextInput component on the timeline of the movie clip (frame 1 of a 1 frame mc).
This does not work. Infact, I cannot access any specific "component" properties - they come back undefined. I cannot added event handlers for the component events either.
I can however set and retrieve MovieClip properties for the "input_txt", such as _x. However there is one added strange thing with this too - setting _visible to false doesn't seem to work (however perhaps a component by default overrides this).
I tried casting it to a component, such as:
var temp:TextInput = TextInput(myBar.input_txt);
trace(temp);
which gave "temp" as null. Without casting, it gives the path to correctly.
It almost seems like the components are somehow broken when trying to access them this way - or that they cannot be accessed this way?
The thing is, I was able to access all of this before, when the code to do it was placed on the timeline (frame 1, the only frame) of the debugbar itself, where the components were placed at authortime.
I need to have it in a class though, as I need to pass in certain objects that need to be accessed by the mc. I am rather baffled as to why all this doesn't work.
I have a class with constructor and overloaded methods in it. When i try to import that class using blazeds i get an error saying [RPC Fault faultString="Unable to create a new instance of type 'some class'." faultCode="Server.ResourceUnavailable" faultDetail="Types cannot be instantiated without a public, no arguments constructor."] How to import class having overloaded methods using blazeds
