I'm programming a kind of "Lights Off" game in Flash Professional (not Flash/Flex Builder)and it would be very nice if I could manage on/off state in a grphically designed Symbol like this[code]...
View 2 RepliesI am new to AS3, as well as Flash in general, so forgive me if this seems highly elementary. All I am trying to do is create a custom class that extends the MovieClip class and contains a custom property of "marker". I want to be able to use and change the value of this custom property on the timeline for an instance of this class and have it behave just like any other (Ex: this.x ==> this.marker).

I am using this method to create a slider to control frames in a movie clip.
[Code]...
The slider works well when I'm in the scene that contains the slider. When I go to a scene that does not include the slider, I get the following output error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. How can I stop the stage.add.EventListener when I navigate to other scenes that don't include the slider. This is my first as3 project. The project functions as it should but I don't know if the output error will cause problems later.
I have written a piece of code where I have created a custom class containing some of my custom properties.I have used multiple instances of this custom class in my main class and added it to a container.Now I need to access one of my custom property in the main class through container.getChildByName()."custom property", but I am not able to access my custom property using this.I get an error saying
Access of possibly undefined property orientation(this is my custom property) through a reference with static type ..name of my main class.
Is there no way that can i access custom property of components through the getchildbyname method of the parent container ??
I have a simple quesiton about class, method and functions inside a method and class properties. I created a new class form my custom component.. But upon developing it I found out that you can not access a property inside the function which is also inside a method..
Example
Code:
class myClass{
private var myProperty:Number = 1; //default is 1
//constructor
public function myClass(){
}//Method
[Code] .....
What I want to do is to access the property inside the method.. I also have a work-around still i cannot point a certain variable to a property of my class inside the method's function..
Is there a point of creating custom event class if i dont need to pass custom property with that event?
View 3 RepliesI have a custom function that doesn't function correctly the first time the function executes it removes a textFiled from the display list without a problem but the second time that it executes it won't remove a diffrent textfield and I don't know why here is the code from the time the textField is added to the diplay list to where its deleted.Btw the function in question is being executed by a custom event listener.....the errors i receive are TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference...Also note that i can remove the textField in question from any function other thatn the one the custom event executes.
PHP Code:

Is it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).
i try to migrate from as2 to as3 and i have one problem When i attachMovie from library (addChild in as3) and i add custom property its work fine.Here is ex.
Code:
var i:int;
for (i=0; i<5; i++)[code]....
when i attach to that symbol custom class in the library.i got the error: #1056:Cannot create property...
I'm trying to assign a custom property to an attached MC. In this case it's an ID number, but it's always undefined inside the onRelease function... What am I missing?
ActionScript Code:
function blablaMethod(){_root.attachMovie("bla", "bla"+someIncrementingId, _root.getNextHighestDepth());var mcReference = _root["bla"+someIncrementingId];// I've also tried the following:var mcReference = _root.attachMovie("bla", "bla"+number, _root.getNextHighestDepth());

Im trying to create an inventory for an adventure game (escape the room esque interface).Basically I have an array inventory system - you click on an object that is listed in the array,it moves the item off the main screen and into your inventory (bottom of the screen) and resizes it. Then you can use the object as an inventory object.This is fine on frame one (where all the items are at the moment).But when you move to another frame and then come back to frame one the items are back on the screen in their original position but now non clickable(aswell as being in your inventory working how they should). If i put the items in frame two and no items in frame one I get the following message and the items become unclickable:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Inventory/makeInventoryItems()
at InventoryOne
Im guessing the errors are because the items don't exist on all frames but the code does as it is in the games properties as the class type (class Inventory), but i have no idea how to get around it.
Inventory/makeInventoryItems() is the following AS code.
Code:
function makeInventoryItems(arrayOfItems:Array) {
for(var i:int=0;i<arrayOfItems.length;i++) {
arrayOfItems[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getItem);[code]............

Possible Duplicate: currentFrame of root timeline from inside object In flash with as3.0, I have to call a function on the main stage from a movieClip I have this method in a frame on my scene:
[Code]...
and I would like to be able to call that method from within a movieClip, how do I point to the method?
Assume on root i have a movie clip called table then inside table i have a movie clip called foot.
normally if i need to set foot's alpha to zero i can just do
table.root.alpha=0 from the main timeline it should work ok
but this works only as long as i have foot in the first frame of the movie clip table, if i have foot movie clip in lets say frame 100 apearing and not apearing in the first frame of table then i cant access property of foot from the root
unless the movie clip plays and reach the instance where foot is defined.
I'm beginning to learn AS3. I'm getting the following error[code]...

I am trying to create a way of controlling movieclip depths, which movieclip is show above another, so that I can set the depth of a movieclip to any number and they will be displayed with higher values above lower values. I was thinking of creating a MovieClipDepth class that extends MovieClip with the added property depth, and a Container class that extends DisplayObjectContainer which all objects will be placed inside of. The Container class will override the addChild method to update the child display order when a child is added.
View 2 Repliesi am a bit embarassed to ask this, but i do this so much i have to ask. Occasionally, i need to pass/handle custom events on the fly. Rather than creating a whole custom event class, i will just do something like
Code:
myObject.dispatchEvent(new Event('thisCustomEvent'));
//and then handle it later

package components {
public class templateSelection extends VBox {
static public var tempSelectionBag:Dictionary;

I want to have a custom class tempSelection with a Dictionary as a public accessable property of that class. If I use this code, the compiler tells me:
1046: Typ wurde nicht gefunden oder war keine Kompilierungszeit- onstante:Dictionary
Which translates to:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Dictionary
I have a Custom Component that has a couple of Canvas with some background colors assigned to them. Now i have hard coded the colors, i want to move them to an external css file. So i would like to have the css declaration like this :

My question is if i can define custom style names like dividerRightColor and if so, how can i use that value inside my MXML Component? I have seen examples of using them inside Pure AS components.
I'm using Flash CS3. Inside my document class, how can I create a child MovieClip that loads an image from a URL? what I did wrong? I tried changing the Main class to a Sprite, still not working.

I want to create a movieclip so that that I can create text inside of it and make it clickable. I want to do this all dynamically since I am using ZendAMF to pull in database information to put in the text box. So far I have this:

nameCont = new MovieClip();

View 5 RepliesI created a custom MXML component, TurboContent, that extends the NavigatorContent class:
<s:NavigatorContent xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
[Code].....
In this case, the 'myButton' component never shows up, but all the elements of the base component do (3 buttons and a datagrid).
Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>.Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
I have a dynamic Class and what I would like to do is call a method everytime a property is appended to the class during run-time.
[Code]....
I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf.The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button"racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error.[code]when I press any button everything works fine except from bordButton to racerButton
