I have some problems working with "static function"For example:
Code: Select all public static var someText:TextField = new TextField();
public static var FORMAT:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Arial", 12, 0x000000);
public static function myText():void
[code].....
Does anyone know how to addChild(aMovieClip) to stage by using a static function, like:
public static var player
public static function LoadPlayer()
{
GameEngine.player = new Player
stage.addChild(player)
}
(Or better yet tell me how to run functions in different class without creating instances of them or using static function )
I have downloaded Box2d ([URL]) and created a project that looks like this: [URL]. catalyst is the green cube and it has the base class "shapes.box", it is inside "world" which has the base class "wck.World". What i want to do is to add another "catalyst" from the library inside "world" when i click on add_btn. I tried to accomplish this by this code:
[Code]...
Symbol 'buttons', Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 41061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type Class.
Basically, what I mean is I i have few layers of classes, that calls and change something on the 1st(root) class. In between the process I have to use static var and static function.But when I want to run a function which does not change any variables, for example:otoAndStop(someFrames), I need to make the function a static function too or else there would be error
Code:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method checkStatus through a reference with static type Class.

Ok, so I have a bit of a mess here (Which I'm probably not doing right anyway, which could be my problem...). I have a document class, I'll call it as Body.as, that creates an object from another class known as Headgear.as. There are also other objects created from other classes, or will be in the future. Now, amoung all this, Headgear.as and all of the other classes Body.as will use to make objects require the use of dragging functions (starting and stopping dragging). On stopping drags, position checks are then made to compare a particular hidden movieclip with the dragged MC.
To try and save myself some hassle (from making the same functions over and over to ensuring that when the objects are created I don't need to send a complete crapload of variables just to ensure the position checking function would work), I had the functions for the event listeners (Which are set-up on the draggable MCs in Headgear.as) just direct to functions in Body.as
[Code]...
I need to know when an element is added to the stage (using main document class). So i use :
Code:
public override function addChild(__child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject{
super.addChild(__child);
trace("child added");
return __child;
}
Which works fine. I also use a static class, to which i pass the stage using :
Code:
public static function setStage(__stage:Stage):void{
_stage = __stage;
}
But if i add to the stage (_stage) a MovieClip from the static class, my "real" stage doesn't seem to get that something was added. So i guess _stage !== stage.
So why is this happening, why is _stage not getting the methods of stage ?
Alright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.
I am a newbee and just starting to learn about AS3. Copied some ideas and tried to paint a single particle on the stage for starters. No success! I get this...1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.In an "Particle.as" file I have this code...

I got this Error : 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type Class.
what I'm trying to do :I have create a new class called Graph and make it extends Sprite and add a scroolpane to my stage and make an empty movie clip called content_mc and make the source of the scrollpane equals to content_mc
in the first frame i wrote this code
import Graph;
var graph:Graph = new Graph();content_mc.addChild(graph);
Let's say I have a Custom Event Class, and it has several Event types stored in static Constant:
[Code]...
Is there an easy way to validate that the type passed to the Constructor is one of the Static Constants of the Class, without having to check it against each value?
this is the function i want to turn in to a static function. just dont know how to make it a static function and call it from other classes. i think this would have its own file.

i'm trying to modify some code and can't figure out what the issue i'm having it. this is the(shortened) code:
public static function Lose():void {
trace("OVER!");
Clock.stop();[code]...
this is the error i get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method OverIt.i just want to call a function from inside of the public static funtion.both function are inside this class:
public class Game extends MovieClip {
}
There's not really much to say. I'll jsut post a code and hope somebody get an idea of what's wrong with that.
ActionScript Code:
private function selectPeon(e:MouseEvent):void

I would like to create a function that adds a child to whatever mc i choose like this where targetMc is the mc that i want the child (libraryMc) to be added to
PHP Code:
functionName(targetMc,libraryMc);
so right now my function looks like this
PHP Code:
function functionName(targetMc:MovieClip,libraryMc:MovieClip):void
{
var libContent:libraryMc = new libraryMc();
targetMc.addChild(libContent);
}
i know this is wrong as new libraryMc() is also being replaced with the libraryMc:MovieClip and that is probably why it's not working.
I am trying to pull a funtion that adds a child to a container. This function gets pulled in another class. All the traces do work by the child doesn't show.
pulling the function from StickerBook_Class

I think maybe I need to import something else? because I am getting the following error.TypeError: Error #1006: addChild is not a function.at Function/<anonymous>

Code:
var rockSpawn:rock;
function doCollision():void
{
trace("collision detected at "+collisionLoc+", Time: "+flash.utils.getTimer());
rockSpawn = new rock;
[code]....
This function spawns a rock object from the library at a given location, and then moves it to the right every frame until it reaches the edge of the screen, at which point it's deleted. The problem: when a rock is spawned, it moves to the right, but when a new rock is spawned, the previous one stops dead. Each rock moves progressively faster, as if each rockSpawn.x++ is stacking to make the object move 1 pixel faster each time the function is called.
How would I modify this code to spawn separate instances of a projectile that behave the same? Also, how would I reference them for say, collision detection? That is:
Code:
if (a rockSpawn instance collides with the movieClip ship)
{
do stuff;
}

I would like to know, in Flex 4.5.1, if there is a way to create a static variable in a member function, something like bellow:
public function myFunction():void {
static test:Object = null;
}
Is it more common to use a function for program utilities or a static method?

View 2 RepliesJust transitioning into object orient programming and I got stuck trying to create textField using static function. I searched online about this and none of them were useful. I dont want this to be just public function because then I cant access this function from other classes. I would like every classes to access this function so I need it to be static.

I've created a class to hold data in static vars with getter and setter methods. The class in never instantiated, i.e. var obj:MyClass = new MyClass();.[code]
View 5 RepliesI wanted to use a couple of stand-alone function/or static methods by declaring them in the external *.as file and import it.
The problem is, when I import it, I had to instantiate a new class from imported class to use any of these functions which is not necessary in my situation, I just wanted to be able call these functions.
It (AS) does not allow me to declare those functions outside of class declaration, (tried with static keyword in front of those functions just like in C++).
I also tried to declare the class itself with static keyword (also just like C++) but AS also does not allow me to do that.
Remember whole points is declare couple of helper functions in external *.as file and use it over and over.
I've summarized my issue in the following [code]...

when i run these class i get the following error Test2.as(18): col: 10 Error: Access of undefined property testVar. this function works if i change [testVar] to a static variable , is there any other way to make this function work other than making the [testVar] variable to static?
