Does anybody know of a website that gives a full list of all as3/cs4 methods, properties, keywords, classes, etc?
I bought a book on beginning AS3, but it only introduces some properties and methods as it uses them in examples.
Is it possible to hook multiple keyboards to a single computer and have flash differentiate between the key presses of the keyboards?
View 3 RepliesI seem to be having a bit of a problem here. I'm generating a load of class instances using the following code:
maxpersons=25;
for (var i:Number=1;i<=maxpersons;i++)
{
var person:Person = new Person;
[Code].....
OK. I then need to run through each of them and check for a collision with an object from the main stage (called redDot), which I pass to a method (called doDamage) within the class. I'm using the following code:
for (i=1;i<=maxpersons;i++)
{
if (game.getChildByName("person"+i).hitTestObject(red Dot))
{
game.getChildByName("person"+i).doDamage(redDot);
}
}
I keep getting an error saying "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method doDamage through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject."!
It just won't work. I've tried altering the code to:
game["person"+i].doDamage(redDot);
but I get an unexpected trace output saying "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties."
I can't access the props and methods of an external AS3 swf after it's loaded by Main.as. Here's a very simplified version of the code for Main.as (the calling swf):

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
public class Main extends Sprite{
private var imgLoaded:Boolean = false;

View 7 RepliesIn AS2 we can not add methods n properties to built-in classes in the way we do in AS1. Like we would -say- write the custom "isNatural" method on the "Math" class as follows : * The following code is valid in AS1 but not in AS2
[Code]...
As the "Math class" is static internally. We know why we can not add custom methods n properties to every class, as the way we do in AS1. Later I came up with senocular' s very nice tutorial on OOP in AS2. And now i know how we can do it in AS2 style in an efficient n organised way. But i have a problem with the following code. It should not work ! but it does... * Following code is valid for both in AS1 and AS2.

I have an urgent task to implement in my project code. I can't able to access the new properties and methods which are present in FileReference Class. For load() ,save() methods needs runtime version of Flash Player 10. I need to include the flash player 10 in CS3 publish settings Version. Otherwise you can suggest how i can able to access the FileReference class new properties and methods without CS4.

View 11 RepliesHow would you go about calling the public properties and methods of a SWF you load in actionscript?
I have been using stackoverflow for years to answer my programming questions so I wanted to give back by writing a guide to an issue I had a lot of trouble figuring out. This is my first user guide so tell me if there is anything I can do to improve it.
I have a question about classes. I just learn that static means that functions and/or properties are specifics to a class, but is it a synonym of private? And why statics (not available to any instances?) properties and/or methods can have a public (available anywhere else (timeline)) access modifier? PS: I just start with classes.

View 2 RepliesI have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?
View 1 RepliesLet's say I have a defined ClassA. ClassB extends ClassA and there's a Movie Clip instance on the stage linked to ClassB. How would ClassC access the properties and methods of ClassB without extending ClassB or creating a new instance of ClassB? The way I'm currently doing it is by referencing the stage instance linked to ClassB and then using the dot syntax to access ClassB instance variables, and this works only if the the accessed variables are public or internal, depending on what package ClassC is part of. I would like to know if there's a better, cleaner way to accomplish this.

View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 0 RepliesIs there a way in AS 3 to list all classes and their associated methods? Or at least a way to list the methods within a particular class?
It seems that it's all so overwhelming and although I'm well versed in Lingo and have a handle on the Lingo dictionary,I feel as though the AS 3 library is dauntingly big.
Is there any way for C# to get a list of the methods the swf exposes through ExternaInterface?
View 3 RepliesHow do I get the list of all methods from an object? I know I can get the object class in this way:
var className:String = flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName( myObject );
var objClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName( className ) as Class;
In JavaScript I can iterate over the prototype of an object to get its properties and methods. Is that possible in ActionScript 3? Do you any good source for metaprogramming/reflection over ActionScript 3?
I just recently switched from FLASH 8 to FLASH CS3 and noticed that by default, when working at the "Actionscript" window, I can no longer do shortcuts with keyboards. One good example is before at F8, if I want to add STOP to a keyframe, all I need to do is pre ESC then "S" and "T".
View 1 RepliesI don't have a problem with code but a big problem figuring out where to find out the properties and methods for "event.target". I'm working on a project where, naturally, events are essential. I've noticed, while reading some Actionscript code, that people use code such as:
Code:
event.target.name
event.target.loader
Very useful and interesting but the problem is where can I find out the properties and methods for "event.target"? I'm using Flash Builder 4 and I get the instance's properties and methods when I press the dot (code hinting). However, I don't get e.g. any "name" property after "target". It would be very useful for me to know where to look...
I am having a hard time understanding for...in loops. I have seen David use it in his signature, and I understand what the loops is doing, but only from the context of the rest of the signature. If somebody could explain how the for..in loop works, I'd be greatful. Here's what I know:
PHP Code:
for (proprtyThing in objectThing) {
trace (proprtyThing);
}
My understanding of this loop tells me that if I run it, I'll get a list of all the properties of the object named objectThing....but this makes no sense to me!!
If I created a static method. say I decide to call on other methods within that static method. Do those methods I call on need to be static as well? what If I used some of the properties. Not to store data permanently, but just within that process. Do those properties need to be static ??
View 3 RepliesI thought all keyboards were alike other than maybe special Chinese and Japanese ones. I was guessing that, other than adding a few extra letters (such as Sweden's the keyboards would be identical... WRONG. find it extremely annoying typing since when I reach for a ", I get an when I want a closed curly bracket, I get ^. Swedish keyboards are not a programmer's best friend. It is quite frustrating, but that is another subject, and quite off topic.o doubt, since the key locations vary so drastically in some areas,How are "keyCode" and "charCode" values different if captured from other keyboards?How smart is Flash, and how much does the developer need to compensate for this?Is there any way to detect what type of keyboard the user is currently using?

I am working on an enterprise application and creating a base class for some stage components that has knowledge of the class extending it. More specifically, I need a way to loop through the inspectable properties in a class file and place the names of these variables into an array. For example:

private var _myVar1:String;

I'm trying to make a simple flash application providing interface for taking tests as a high school assignment. One of the requirements is to use an XML file as data source.Now, having a List component bound to the XML file with questions consisting of data such as question body, question type (ie. single choice, multiple choice, open, image etc.) and possible answers (where applicable), I was wondering if I could add some additional data (and what is the best possible way to do so) to each question upon its transfer to the List component.
I am trying to achieve two main goals with this: firstly, to mark the questions to which an answer has already been given, like with such code in ItemRenderer class:
<s:Label color="{data.color}" text="{data.label}"/>
Where data.color would be set whenever the user gives an answer to a question.
Secondly, while at it, I thought of such possibility as a great way to store answers given to particular questions. In this case, the Class of the answer object would have been Object, since there has to be many type of questions (where the answer could also be a Bitmap for example).
