Actionscript 3.0 :: Global Scope For Functions And Variables?
Jan 28, 2009I was just wondering what the new method for creating global functions and variables are - the _global method has been taken out of as3

ActionScript 3 :: Conflicting Scope - Global Functions And Class Methods Of Same Name
Jul 6, 2011My question deals directly with ActionScript 3, although it could possibly appear in other languages. Consider the global trace function found in AS3. Calling the method requires no imports and is globally available from all classes.
class A {
public function A() {
trace("Hello, A!"); // Hello, A!
}}
Now, what if I create my own class method of the same name? In AS3, if I have a class method trace and then make a call to trace elsewhere in my class, the call is made to the class method over the global function. Essentially, I've blocked my ability to call the global trace method.
class B {
public function B() {
trace("Hello, B!"); // no output
} public function trace(s:String):void {
// do something else.
}}
Now, I know the obvious answer is to say, "don't create a class method called trace." But what if I'm unaware of the existence of the global trace function? Or what if I have a desire to "override" or "block" the global function? Is doing so bad programming? Or is this just another example of how AS3 is a poor object oriented language?

Nov 4, 2009I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?

AS3 :: Flex - Variables Handling By AVM / Compiler / Scope
Apr 12, 2010I have couple of questions about AS3 variables handling by AVM/compiler/scope .1. This code in Flash will throw an error:
[Code]...
but it won`t throw an error in Flex (only warning in Editor). Why?.2. How Flash sees variables in loops? Apparently this:
[Code]....
isn`t equal to just: var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip(); var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip(); because it will throw an error again as earlier in Flash, but in Flex in function not? Is Flash changing somehow my loop before compilation?
.3. Where in a class in equivalent to timeline in Flash - where in class I would put code which I put normally on timeline (I assume it is not constructor because of what I have written earlier, or maybe it`s a matter of Flash/Flex compiler)?

Flex :: Object Doesn't Look Up Scope Tree For Variables?
Aug 4, 2009I have a simple object defined by an object literal, and have a couple functions assigned to this object. Inside the functions, I try to access global variables, and it only gets undefined. The Flex debugger tells me the variables are just right up the scope tree.Yes, I know I can access Thing by using 'this', that doesn't solve my scope issue though.Project Flex Compiler Settings: Flex SDK 3.4, Require Flash Player 10.x.Example:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="Thing.bling();">

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: How To Use Global Functions - Hold Parameters
Feb 25, 2010I have about 10 as3 coded buttons that use the same AS3 coded parameters to control the font and filters of their text fields. I'd like to create a global function to hold these parameters, and then just call the function within each button, and then also code each button to have it's own myText.text = "blahblah"; I can set up a global function no problem using an external as file, but am having trouble getting Flash to accept the parameters. For example, the following parameters work fine when used within the text fields of the buttons, but as so as I try to put them in an external global function, Flash doesn't like the parameters being external:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Global Functions Without Using Unique File
Apr 21, 2010I'm tinkering around with things in AS3, and now that programming the reaction of buttons involves a bit more code, I'm trying to figure out how to kill a few redundancies.With the file I'm working with, at different points, using different objects, the user will click some specific thing to advance the main timeline one frame.Now, the way I've been doing it is, for each object, I have an addEventListener, which calls a function that only contains: MovieClip(root).nextFrame();So I've got, on every frame, unique functions that each require three additional lines of code -- I realize it's not much, and it's not a lazy thing, just an organizational, minimization thing.Since it's just that one thing, I don't see the point in making an entire AS file, so I didn't know if there was a way to make a function that could be called from any frame, from any object, rather than just have them local.

View 4 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Different Take On Global Variables?
Dec 5, 2008I realize that the issue of global variables has been discussed several times on this forum in the past. I have carefully read each one but I could not find any clear, definitive answers. Let me first give the basic idea of what I plan to do with Flash.
I will be simulating electrical, pneumatic, etc diagrams. I will, for an example, have a circuit breaker that can be clicked, thus changing its state from open to closed. Once this is changed, the flow from that circuit breaker will also be changed. This could all be accomplished inside of this file fairly easily, but this Flash file will be linked to hundreds of other flash files, each containing a unique drawing, but the variable for that circuit breaker, and all the other conditions need to be passed from drawing to drawing.
I have spent a lot of time researching online and browsing this forum, but I cannot find a solution to this problem.
ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Achieve Global Variables
Sep 4, 2008In as2, we had global variables which were accessible from anywhere within the movie. How can i achieve similar functionality in as3? You see, in my site, after a user logs in, there are several pages, and each of them calls a php script, and i need to pass the user id as a parameter to them! So as soon as the user logs in, I need to store his id in some place, which i can read from any class or subclass within the whole movie! Can you please tell me how to do this? oh and yea, i am new to as3, so please try to be as descriptive as possible!

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadVariables And Global Variables
Mar 9, 2008it has many different sections(15 or so). Now i have made the movie and created all the checkboxes needed in the form.
I have given each one an instance name - e.g. chk_individualtax1
Made a global variable for each checkbox to get the .selected value - e.g. _global.individualtax1 = chk_individualtax1.selected;
At the end of the movie I have put a trace command to check that the variables are working( because they are on different timeline levels)- e.g. trace(individualtax1);
Now my problem comes here because now I am trying to send these variables off to the server using the getURL command. - e.g. getURL("send.php", "_blank", "POST");
This works and the email is sent off to me via php. however only the variables on the main timeline are sent? is there a difference in fetching global variables off different levels of the timeline Now should I rather be using the loadVariables command and if so how?
ActionScript 3.0 :: FlashVars As Global Variables?
Aug 10, 2009I'm trying to make my FlashVars global so that they can be accessed in all of my scripts. I have an external .as file called 'globalvars.as' and it has the following code:
Code:

public class globalvars extends MovieClip{

But I get the following error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. The Flashvars are set right as I can access the variables in the main timeline, just not the external .as file. I'd like these variables to be accessible to other external .as files which is why I'm doing this.
