Looking to see if anyone has examples of adding custom properties to the CheckBox object. I'm trying to pass a few other parameters to the click handler to extend the functionality of the cb. [code]
View 1 RepliesI have a calendar where each day is a movie clip called 'day'.I use calendar1 movie clip as a parent to day, which means day is inserted into calendar1 using this line..the issue is that I can't access any of the checkbox properties, but all of the text properties as illustrated below.[code]
View 0 RepliesThis PHP contact form works well and is very simple. I have one checkbox in the fla file. However, it keeps displaying 'No' in the email message field, whether the checkbox is selected or not.

View 1 RepliesThrough searching the various forums I have found that Loaders are not dynamic and hence you can not apply custom properties to each instance of them. I miss the old way (as2 way of attachingMovieClip) that you load dynamic content, at least you can apply custom properties, and you can always reference them for each object.
What I'm trying to do is load a group of Images via XML. Each one of those images have a set of information that is associated with them (name, description, etc). I have the images loading in and positioning just fine, however when trying to have a tooltip show the name on Mouse Over, I'm not able to achieve this...
In short. I want to be able to store information for each item so that I can access it. Is there a way to do this in AS3 with a Loader or is there another route I can go? If I do this with Arrays, how do I store the Index of the specific item so I can use that in reference to the position in each array?

since I cant create a custom property on a sprite if extend a sprite, should be able to make a custom property then or do I need to use a movieClip?
View 14 RepliesI can't use a "for in " loop to enumerate public properties of a custom class. So I have a class "ClassA" , which has some public properties. if I try :
PHP Code:
trace(classInstace.hasOwnProperty('property1'));// true
trace(classInstace.property1) // traces the property correctly
trace(classInstance.propertyIsEnumerable('property1')); // traces false ????
I am very new to AS3, and I'm confused about how things that would have been simple in AS2 are so complex and tricky now. For example, I want to create a bunch TextField objects that, for some reason, rise up every frame (as in : object.y-=1; ).However, I also need each TextField to reference the TextField that was created just before it.
I tried creating a variable that would hold such a reference : ThisTextField.Ref=LastTextField; but - this returns an "Access of possibly undefined property..." error. It seems I can only have custom properties on mere Objects ! This is annoying because an Object doesn't seem to accept event listeners (remember, I need them to do something every frame). Is there a way to simply set custom properties on my TextFields, without having to use custom packages ? Or is there a way to use event listeners on Objects ? I've read something about strict mode which could allow setting properties on other objects - what are the risks of turning it off ?

Is it possible to dynamically name properties on a custom object ?
something like:
Code:
o:Object = new Object();
s:String = 'abcd'; // the name I want for my objects property
o.[s] = '1234'; // 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before leftbracket.
trace(o.abcd) // 1234
EDIT I want to do this as an associative array, so if there is a better alternative then I'd be happy with that as well.
In 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've written the following custom component, SubNavBar.mxml:

creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>

Whenever the trace function runs in init(), the property menuItems returns null. I don't seem to have this problem with other variable types, like Boolean or String. Is this due to the size of the XMLListCollection object? How can I set up this SubNavBar custom component with XMLListCollection property and bind it to a control in the component?
I am implementing a scrollbar using a custom embedded image using my CSS stylesheet. This is a very simple, thin scrollbar.

View 1 RepliesI'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).
Given this:public namespace foo;foo var bar:String = "baz";We can access the property "bar" like so:[code]It gives me the following error: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property foo::bar not found on MyClass and there is no default value.On further inspection of the foo namespace I can see (in the debugger) that the URI is in the format {package}:{type}/{name}. If I try to replicate this by doing the following:[code]Does anyone know if it is possible to get access to namespaced members like this? I don't have compile time access to the namespace, but I can look up it's uri (and prefix) dynamically at run time.
View 1 RepliesI have just created a custom AS3 Component to use in an MXML project.[code]but then i lose some re usability.What do i need to do to be able to set properties from mxml?
View 3 RepliesI need to create a custom Object that basically stores some custom parameters (properties?), which I have successfully done, and the code below works fine.
PHP Code:
myObject = new Object();
myObject.nameLabel = "New Releases";
myObject.artOrientation = "portrait";
myObject.artAmount = 5;
I find the new compiler and debugger capabilities very useful, since I'm not the most detail-oriented, so I (usually) like that Flash forces me to strict-type my variables and such. Anyway, I was wondering if it's a "best practice" to strict data type a custom objects' properties, and if so, how to do it in the logic above? I kept getting syntax errors when I just tried it initially.
I know if I created a custom Class .AS file, I would be forced to data type the properties... but I'd rather just do it "in-line" in my main .FLA file. Also, I know I can just pass typed VARIABLES to the properties... but I'd rather have the properties strict-typed themselves... so if I try to pass a variable as the wrong type, then I would still get an error.
i wonder why i am unable to access the public properties of this custom class the public var w:Number; and the Public var h:Number; i am tracing them and on an instance of the PreLoader() Class.. and ia m getting NAN;

View 2 RepliesI have multiple items in my app that I would like the user to click on.Some items are completely different classes.The classes dispatch events and then when the events are captured, some modifications are done to the transform properties of a loosely coupled display object.I want two separate classes to dispatch the same type of event, since I already have an image class that draws images based on a given url... I want the classes to dispatch the events, but then I think I want the difference to be detected when the event comes along... i.e., I would like to recognize the 'origin' or 'sub-type' of the event. Some sort of if/then logic would suffice.
View 1 RepliesSo I have a movie clip associated with an external class in the linkage dialog. I put that movie clip on the stage. I have another external class that contains some code (not for the movie clip but for the stage). When I access the custom properties of the class in the actual flash file (not the external code) everything works fine.For example.myMovieClip.explodeTheCode = true;works in the main movie. However, it doesn't work in the external flash file when I have a reference to that movie clip.myRefToCustomMovieclip.explodeTheCode = true fails!It throws an error. In java, I'd just import the custom class the movie clip is linked to and then I can call all the extra custom methods on the movie clip in the external class I want. However, this does nothing. I still can't access any properties.So my question is, how do I access the custom features of a movie clip (that is linked to a custom class) from an external code file. It works in the movie, but not in the external source code.

Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
