I have an as3 component I made in CS3 and need to access the Component Definitions. Defining component parameters using the Inspectable Tag metod does not return success.
View 1 RepliesI have a label component in a mxml file like below
<mx:Label x="700" y="409" text="Label" id="lble" width="131" height="41"/>
if i want to access it and change its text content within a method defined in action script class that i have written, how to do it?
lble.text="test";
This is probably super simple, but for me.. not!I am loading external swf into my main swf.How do I access a movieclip within a child. This is my code:
function loadFolio (event:MouseEvent) :void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("folio.swf");
contentLoad.load(request);

I'm accessing the classes from an externally loaded SWF so that I can "skin" SWF applications at runtime. Everything works fine but I'd like to make it as dynamic as possible and allow developers to access all the class definitions in a loaded SWF without having the FLA file or a list of their names.

This seems like it would be really easy but for some reason it's not working.
I have a class file, class DataSet, which right now only takes an XML file, parses it, and pushes the XML into an array:
The object is instantiated and an XML file is passed back to the object definition. If the XML file is successfully loaded, the class should then called the function parseXML() and put the data into the array.
But for some reason, parseXML() is never called. I have no idea why this isn't working, because the syntax checks out and I've seen millions of other files where functions call other functions.
Here's the class file:

I wrote two projects using the same 3D library but I modified it pretty heavily in one (to the extent that the inheritance is pretty different on one) - now I need to load one into the other and I'm getting some weird errors that look like the child swf is trying to use the same class definitions as the parent even though it should be in an entirely different namespace.
So - anyone have a tricky way of forcing the loaded swf to use the classes it's compiled with rather than the ones already defined in the parent swf (and vice versa) or do I need to refactor all my stuff?
So I know you can assign a base class to a library definition within the Movieclips library information field but If I have 30 items in the library and I change the Base class this becomes a pain in the ass, can this be done programmatically when I instantiate the library definition?
var new_shiz:MyItem1 = new MyItem1(); // Needs to have a generic base class of MyItem
Is it possible to access a declared component as an IFactory within an MXML class? I've used this style of declaring factories many times for Skin Parts, but I've never figured out how to access those factories from within the MXML.
Here's an example of what I would expect to work:
<fx:Declarations>
<fx:Component id="labelDisplay">
<s:Label fontSize="12" fontWeight="bold"/>

how to access the stage from within component code. (I am very new to ActionScript)

I need to access the main stage to add a mouse up event listener.
have a movieclip on the stage, whose Class is "com.nestor.elements.letterKey". The class funcKey extends "key" which contains a "public var val:String". I have many instances of letterKey(asdfghj.... a full keyboard), so I'd like to use the IDE to arrange and pass variables. SO, within the Flash IDE/Library, I rightclick the symbol to access its component definition, and add a parameter for the var in the baseclass name:value,variable:var,default:whatever,type:Str ing).Now, in the constructor function for the baseclass, if I trace my variable: it is null.
View 1 RepliesWorking in a very large Flash application, previously in AS2/CS3 I would have a setup like the following:
root.swf-- modules---- code_a.swf---- code_b.swf-- views---- view_a.swf---- view_b.swfUsing _exclude.xml files, I could exclude the classes defined in code_a and code_b from the ouptut .swf of view_a and view_b. root.swf would be responsible for loading the code modules before view_a or view_b, ensuring that class definitions that view_a and view_b depended on existed.
The Problem:We've recently migrated to using Actionscript 3/CS5. *_exclude.xml files no longer exist. To get the same functionality as above, I've tried the following: My setup now looks something like:
root.swf-- modules---- class_a.as---- class_b.as-- views---- view_a.swf---- view_b.swfUse mxmlc to compile root.swf, view_a.swf and view_b.swf, passing it -externs option to specify classes that will be loaded externally (the two classes in modules).
This ensures that the class is excluded from the compiled swf.Use compc to compile class_a.as and class_b.as into classes.swf, using -directory=true to access library.swf for external loading.However,when I try running one of the two view files which depend on classes.swf, I get runtime errors telling me that a class definition is not present.
Current Workaround
I've devised a workaround which I'm currently not happy with as it's backwards to the modular approach that I was previously using:Rather than loading the code modules, I statically link all class definitions required by child movies intoroot.swf. When building root.swf, I use the -link-report option of mxmlc to provide a list of included classes. When building child swfs, I can the use -load-externs to ensure that class definitions that already exist will not be included in the compile output.
Is there a way that anyone is aware of to replicate the AS2/_exclude.xml solution that I had using AS3/CS5?

View 5 RepliesI have searched for this everywhere but it seems like every answer is either overcomplicated or simply does not work, and I know for sure there should be a more simple way of achieving what I need. So, until today, I have always coded from within the timeline. But now I realise why I should code in separate class files. However, I still want to include snippets of code in the timeline for simplicity's sake.

I made a movie clip that is linked to a class named "Fugel". In the "Fugel" class I want to access the object's properties (x, y, rotation, alpha...) that I created in the main FLA file. I'm trying to center it in the constructor, but I don't know how to. The "this" keyword doesn't seem to work.
Here is the code for the "Fugel" class:

I am unable to access variables written in a class file.
This is the class file:

how I could get the data of modArray?
I am currently using an external Class file for an instance in my .fla project. It creates an instance of that specific class and has it carry out some functions.I want to access a MovieClip on the stage in the .fla file in the external Class file. How can I do this?For example, the Class file creates an instance of that class, and I want the x and y coordinates of that instance to be equal to that of let's say circle_mc. Now circle_mc is on the stage of the .fla file, and therefore cannot be accessed. How can I get around this?

View 3 RepliesI'd like to access the stage of the main timeline from w/i a class that extends a movieclip. Basically, I have a button in the main timeline that makes a HUD appear. The HUD is an extended MovieClip class. When people click on a button in the HUD, I'd like to remove the object from the stage of the main MovieClip.I think your confusion may come from the fact that I am running this code from a class definition file. Clicking on a button w/i this object should remove it from the DisplayList of the MainTimeline. Here's the code from the class definition file:
package classes {
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
trace(e.currentTarget.parent.parent) gets me the MainTimeline, and trace(e.currentTarget.parent.parent.stage) appears to return the main stage, but I cannot use removeChild w/o getting an error that I am trying to coerce the stage to be a DisplayObject (which it ought to be).What's on the stage of the MainTimeline: A single button that, when clicked, adds an instance of the Answers class to the stage.
