I have two objects, both brown squares. I want them to be members of the same class but one square to have a number "1" in the center and the other to have a number "2" in the center. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Any clues on how to instantiate a vector drawing (drawn in illustrator) from ActionScript 3 as opposed to dragging it on stage from the library in flash?
View 3 RepliesAre static members slower to access than instance members in AS3?
View 1 RepliesI have a class ABC:
class ABC
{
var l:Label=new Label();
var m:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
}
Given an instance of class ABC, e.g. obj:
var obj:ABC=new ABC();
I need to access both obj.m and obj.l. Say m has an eventlistener fl_listen which gets triggered on a mouse click:
function fl_listen(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var k=event.target;
}
Within this handler, I can access the MovieClip of ABC class. However, my requirement demands to access the object of Label in the ABC class too.
I'm working in CS4. I am trying to add 20 squares to the stage. Each square must have a different number in the middle(1, 2, 3, etc.).
This is my code so far:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
Ideally, I would like the squares to be added automatically, with increasing numbers and 100 x 100 pixels apart. Possibly a 'for-loop' statement?
I have a class, ClassA which is a MovieClip. Inside of that I have about 20 other MovieClips that are associated with ClassB.
In my main timeline I have something like this, instantiating ClassA and then calling a setup function in it.[code]...

In Flash Player runtime, is there a way I can get a list of all the static members of lass PlayerEvent.
Something like:
trace(PlayerEvent.staticMethods) // ["PLAYER_INIT", "PLAYER_MOVE", "PLAYER_USE_SKILL"]...
I have a class which deals with a lot of visuals, which essentially are movieclips. So I have around 50 privately declared movieclips in the class. Would it be a good idea to put them in a dictionary and retrieve them by their name (as key) , put them in an array or just leave them as they are?
My issue is the visual look of my class right now with that many private members, looks like a mess visually.
like at the object, i have a class like that:
class myClass
{
var sound:Sound;
var num:Number;
public function MyClass()
[Code]...
So i have a movieclip with a textfield in it. Also there is a class for this Movieclip. This all is exported to a swc that is linked into other projects for reuse purposes. However I cant access the textfield from classes in other projects. I get the 1009 error. Even when accessing ti from the Added to stage event.

Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?
View 4 RepliesWhat I have is a game with a Level object, inside the Level is a Player object, and they don't have instance names given, what I'm trying to figure out is how to do is make it so that the player can change the x or y properties of the Level object.
To be more precise, I'm making it so that when the player moves in a certain direction, he either moves accross the stage, or he starts moving the Level object around the stage, it'd be in an Event kind of function, now I can easily make the Player move, but I don't know how to make the Level object move which the player is inside of.
I have question regarding removing instantiated objects. Let's say i have a main class in which i instantiate a custom video player (or whatever) class:
Code:
...
var videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer(...);
addChild(videoPlayer);
...
And inside VideoPlayer class i have of course dozens of objects (movie clips, sprites representing different parts of VideoPlayer) and dozens of event listeners attached to them. My question is, if i want to remove this VideoPlayer class from my main class is it enough to just do:

I have a class that represents a turret in the center of my screen.When I hold down SPACE, I want it to create a "bullet"-object that moves in the direction of the turrets cannon, every frame the SPACE key is held down. I am having problems with this cause I am getting this error when I am trying to create the object:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is where the error occurs:
ActionScript Code:
public function chaingun(x_:int, y_:int, rot:int, cd:Number, spd:Number, sprd:Number, life:Number) {
this.Cooldown = cd;
this.Speed = spd;
[code]....
PS: What happens is that when I press the SPACE key, the "turret" class event handler runs the function "Shoot_Chaingun" and that function creates a new Chaingun-object (which actually is a bullet), that inherits the x, y, and rotation of the turret, along with some additional varaibles, including lifetime. Then upon creation, I use "addChild(this)" to add it to the main stage, and "removeChild(this)" once it's lifetime is up.
EDIT: And also, I just realized I don't have a MovieClip linked to this chaingun class. How do I make sure that every time a chaingun object is made, the MovieClip is also loaded?
I have an enemy on the stage that reads whether it's being hit by a bullet by a hittest. There's a for loop inside the enemy's class that looks for all the bullets and names the bullet that's hitting it "hitBullet". What I'd like to do have an easy way of seeing what type of bullet is hitting the enemy. I'm basically looking for something like
if (hitBullet == RegBullet) {
//do regular bullet dying
}else if (hitBullet == ClusterBullet) {
//do clusterbullet dying
}
, where RegBullet and ClusterBullet are classes. But I have no idea what hitBullet is equal to when a ClusterBullet or RegBullet hits it. I traced hitBullet to see what it would return and got "[object ClusterBullet]", but I'm not sure what that would be in the actual code.
I have installed the entire Helvetica Neue LT font family on my PC running Windows XP. There are 51 different variants in this family. While I have had issues before with Flash not recognizing that the fonts I have are the same as those in a .fla file created elsewhere, I used to be able to just map the fonts to the same font (which might have a slightlydifferent name) in the font substitution window. However, I now find that, of the 51 variants, only 21 are available to me in Flash CS3. I have tried many different solutions, including uninstalling the fonts and rebooting and re-installing. I also found a forum that suggested I delete a particular Adobe file which caches the font list
View 1 RepliesI've worked with AMFPHP for a while, but with Adobe supporting ZendAMF, I was wondering if I should migrate.
One of the major disadvantages for AMFPHP is that class mappings need to be public, so not only does that mean public members on the PHP side, but also on the Flex side. I was wondering if it is the same case for ZendAMF.
I have some data (preferably objects, insteads of string) in the flash which I want to store as table format. So that I can query them. It is not datagrid as I do not have to show them. Currently, I am use "xml class" because of the query function. However, "xml class" cannot store objects.
View 1 Repliesshakedown:
1) made local.swf
2) made remote.swf which contains MyClass
3) local.swf loads in remote.swf from [URL]
how can I access MyClass.staticMember() using local.swf ? is there someway to register MyClass under local.swf after remote.swf is loaded in?
i think i'm looking for something similar to registerClass(remoteSwf.myClassObject.constructor) ;
i am trying to create a game for my family website, it will look the picture below but instead of paper targets i want to use photos of family members. I have no real flash experience, could somebody give me a good starting point.
View 1 RepliesCan ASDoc be set to document private members ala JavaDoc?
View 1 RepliesI'm developing a framework for my coworkers and I'm having trouble documenting it.ASDocs as omitting the private members (even without @private directive).
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to "reflect on" static members of an ActionScript object (get all the static properties/methods of that type programmatically)?
Why is that flash.utils.describeType(*) can only show non-static members?
1157: Interface members cannot be declared public, private, protected, or internal.
I'm just curious as to WHY? I don't understand the thinking behind this "law".
Does this perhaps mean that interface properties always need to be public when implemented in the target classes, and produces this error in order to help enforce that law?
I haven't tested if custom namespaces produce the same error. I'll delve deeper into this when I get the time.
I have a Card Class which corresponds to a MovieClip from my Library. Inside that MovieClip, I have placed some TextFields and a MovieClip, manually, not via code. But when I try to instance a Card, it crashes and say "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property back_mc on core.Card."
Code:
package core {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code].....
First of all, I'm not trying to create anything, I'm trying to declare stuffs for further use. This would work in AS2. When extending MovieClip with ActionScript, am I supposed to build every member via code? Can I not benefit from the wysiwyg editor???
note: ClientObject extends MovieClip for those who wonder :-)
I am looking for some way of putting a link on my website that only members of group can view.The flash site is open to the public as an interest site but there are certain things for members of the group should see, example AGM Reports, committee members etc.URL... Any type of link would do, it does not have to go into the menu bar (password etc)
View 1 RepliesIn Flex/AS3 font embedding has been totally revamped. You have to use the Embed tag. Simple embedding of a single font isn't a problem but when I try to embed multiple members of a font family, I get into trouble. I want to embed Helvetica and Helvetica Bold in one of my projects. Embedding Helvetica isn't a problem but I can't get the bold to work. If I just embed the bold font I get this error:

View 9 RepliesI was actually looking for the adobe docs online that would cover syntax like the following:
SWFLoader(event.target).content['wrFont']
That's from my own code, so obivously I know it works, its just that after 2 years of Flex programming, I have still not encountered any sort of formal documentation on the rules governing this access method (i.e. like in the above where I'm accessing the wrFont member of the loaded SWF via an array index syntax and a string.
Specifically, it would be things like, determining if the referenced member even exists - what would be the standard method for doing that (Surely not just a try-catch block right?). But not just that, but formal Adobe Documentation on all relevant aspects of the above. I've downloaded all zipped adobe docs off of their live docs site - where is all this fully documented.ON a side note, something that's always bugged me about google, is that with a search string like ".content[" it just ignores the "[" character as irrelevant, though if I could just find that search string I would have my answer. But google doesnt search for characters like "[" evidently. Neither does Bing. Does any search engine do this.
