Is there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)
is there a simple way to pass a parameter in the "new" statement for a class that has been defined in the IDE? Like so:var newInternalClass:InternalClass = new InternalClass (someVar);So that when the new class is instantiated it has someVar to work with?
View 3 RepliesI'm using some loopable tracks in a game I'm making and they are imported mp3 files in the .fla file. I export them for actionscript as different classes and then create them as variables, basic stuff.

I started to use Flash Builder with Adobe Flash CS5. Everything seems to ork great, but auto code completion if FB works only for FlexSDK classes. For example, if I'll write "import fl." list with "events;ik;lang; ..." appears, but when I write "import flash." i have ".text" suggestion only. I would be very glad if someone could tell me how to fix this. I couldn't find anything in google (code completion in Flash Pro works great, only in Flash Builder not).
View 1 RepliesI just installed the trial version of 4.5 of flash builder, migrating from 4.0 and I am encountering quite a frustrating problem. For some reason in which I can not peg, FB refuses to compile anything with an import from an external class, like greensock, bulk loader etc. I keep getting a 1172: Definition could not be found for any import from my external class AS3 folder on my harddrive.
Now I did edit my build path in the project and include the AS3 folder there as I usually do in past FB projects. Even code hinting works when typing in the import lines and even making new objects from those imports. But every time I save or try to compile, such errors appear on each one consistently. This is coming from a fresh install of 4.5 btw on any Flash Professional project and I would like to use it but I can't seem to get around such a fundamental problem.
If I have a class that extends another, e.g.,
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MySprite extends Sprite{
[Code]....
and extend that class, if more than one internal classes are defined:
package {
public class MainClass extends MySprite {
public function MainClass():void{}
[Code]....
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MainClass is not defined.Note that this only happens (as far as I can tell) when the public class of the package extends another class, and multiple internal classes are defined. The internal classes don't even need to be instanced or referenced to generate the error (the bare-bones code above will error out). If only a single internal class is defined, it works fine (no error). Even if the internal class is instanced.
how to get a Class file up and going in Flash and that works fine but say I want to import other classes. I try "import testCass" above in my import statements section of my as file and that doesn't work. What do I have to do to get that to work?

I tried to import a class in a .as file and I had strange behaviors that I cannot explain. First of, I tried to get work a senocular class by importing it locally his script in the same directory of my main .as class.
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import duplicateDisplayObject;
There was no error returned from the compiler saying not found but there was one telling my class is still undefined as when I try to make the class work. (possibly undefined method). So I did it with the old fashion I found in some demos, placing the .as file in a com/senocular/display/ folder:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import com.senocular.display.duplicateDisplayObject;
And then no errors. The compiler recognize the class and execute it.
I'm starting to experiment with writing / importing my own classes to better modularize the code.
After trial and error it seems to me that I always have to define classes in a self-defined package as static, otherwise they cannot be accessed.
I suppose I need to import an special class to use data types as integer, long or double from my own class. But i don't know what is the correct class I have to import?

When I point my code to import an external classes such as:
import flash.display.*;
my understanding is that its referencing something within the flash directory to load up the display classes.
In other instances I create a "com.whatever" directory to store other classes that my code can point to.
Well I was running through the Kirupa tutorial (displaying google maps in flash) and I noticed in the code it says "import [url]..." the swf works just fine but where is it grabbing the google classes from if I didnt create the directory?
We create Flash games which are embedded within third party wrapper SWF files, which are exported for FP9.If I create an FP10 SWF which uses classes specific to FP10 (Pixel Bender classes such as Shader, ShaderData), when I run them in an FP9 wrapper within an FP10 player, an error is thrown VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::Shader could not be found.I thought this may be something to do with ApplicationDomains - maybe the child SWF was forced into using the global classes from the parent SWF, but assigning a new ApplicationDomain to the child didn't make any difference. Is there any way to get access to these FP10 classes - or does the version of the outermost wrapper SWF always determine what's available to child SWFs? It seems odd that the FP10 classes are not available in a FP10 player.

How can I import all files and classes into my AIR bundle... it must take a note that I created first a flex project, and set it's main class as Actionscript (.as) .

View 8 RepliesThe header says it all. I am trying to import a couple of classes without attaching a document class to the fla file. Is this possible? I have the class path set as appropriate (I think) in the publish settings since my fla is located inside a swf folder and my classes folder is located outside the swf folder. Its how my project is organized.

Before starting an class or code, you should put all your import statements..
Now I have flash application, which offers a search feature which relies on some pretty huge classes. The user is unlikely to use this feature. However, importing those classes anyway adds some pretty large kbs to my application. Is there a way to import these classes at runtime ONLY IF the user chooses to use this feature?
The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.
I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?
I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..
