ActionScript 3 :: Define Variable From Its Creator On Stage

Jul 3, 2010

I am trying to split up my code in classes. But there is a issue what really bothers me. When I create a class for functions I am giving its own stage. Like this:
dragf:Dragfunctions = new Dragfunctions(this)

And in the class i use this
var stage:Object;
public function Dragfunctions(stage:Object) {
this.stage = stage;
}

As you can see I can now call a variable of the stage using stage.var1 = "hi" but when I need to adjust that variable many times it gets a quite messy. There is a way to tell that when I call var1 he knows i mean stage.var1 without need to call stage.

Its:
var var1 = stage.var1
And then using
stage.var1 = var1
But that is quite unhandy too is there a better way?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Avatar Creator - Passing Variable To Flash

Jul 25, 2011

I need to create an avatar creator, the concept is simple. We have a base image for a head, on top of this we layer on other elements (eyes, nose, mouth), saving it converts the image on the flash widget into a .jpg. I'm confident in my ability to create the interface, I have basic knowledge of AS 3 and flash in general, but I'm unsure how to go about this. I want to pass a variable to flash to indicate who the user is who's editing his or her avatar. Then I want to pull some kind of db file to have the image re-construct itself in flash (maybe from an XML file - so it would need to create/update an xml file).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using String To Define Function And Variable (?)

Nov 16, 2011

I'm trying to make children of a tile and put them in their respective locations. To do that, I need to know what kind of tile is to be created, but if I just use my old method:[code]I will have to use a chunk of code like this for every single imaginable tile. Obviously, that is not efficient! So I'm trying to optimize it by having what tile type is to be posted saved in a string, then using the string to refer to what child is to be created, something like below:[code]how to make the above code work. Surely, there is a way to do this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Define A Symbol Already On Stage

Feb 21, 2007

I am using an opensource spectrum analyzer to try to learn, but I would like to start by making the stage symbol pulse in the same fashion.NOTE that I have inserted the below text at the bottom of the .as file so that you can see how it is not referencing.I want to control a movie with the instance name mc_ball that I already have on stage.If I reference it in the .as file via _root.mc_ball.scaleX or whatever I need to do, it says it is not defined...obviously.So what do I need to do, to define a movie ALREADY created?I was informed on a different forum that _root is no longer valid, so I am not sure where to go from here. Does anyone know of a tutorial that I could learn about this feature of referencing library/stage symbols?

Flex :: Define A Boolean Based On Stage Width?

Feb 14, 2011

I'm trying to create a dynamic layout for a flex app.

I need a boolean which is dependent upon the overall width of the browser window with which to set states, something along the lines of

if(this.parentApplication.width<950)

Flash :: Stage Resizing And Getting The Right Variable?

Jan 20, 2011

In my Flash Application (AS3), I want to get the stage size and use that so my objects (which the user controls) can't go outside of the screen. However, when I use:stage.stageWidth;stage.stageHeight;The values I get aren't actually what I want. They give me the stage size, but if I resize the window, the numbers change as well. Now, in a html page, I don't think that will matter, because the user can't resize it... however, I'd like for it to be more solid than relying on the window size.stage.width;stage.height;However, those gave me "801" and "601", one greater than my actual stage size. Those values did not change when I resized the window, but they were one greater.
