Professional :: Accessing Object Classes?

Apr 9, 2010

I have a project that i'm working on, and in the project it's important that i have an object that i can create with actionscript that already has two arrays inside of it. To do this, i made the movieclip, i checked export for actionscript in the library, and in the custom class that corresponds to that object i made the arrays with the following code:

package {
import flash.display.*;
public class cont extends MovieClip {

Accessing A Public Variable Between Classes?

May 25, 2009

I've got two classes running...one is a document class (EgoGame.as) and another is a class linked to several similar movie clips (Ball.as).I'm trying to access a public variable from Ball.as which has been declared in the doucment class EgoGame.as.When I run the test the outputs states the following...1120: Access of undefined property _ballPlaced.Here's my code.  What I'm trying to do is remove the event listeners from the Ball.as when the _ballPlaced variable is true, so that the user can't drag and drop the balls after they've been placed in a zone.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Functions In Other Classes?

Sep 8, 2011

I've been working my way towards better OOP design lately and I've come across a problem with accessing functions in other classes from my Main class. Here is the code:

Main.as

ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUp);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fireBullet);

They are listening for functions that are within the Player.as class, these functions control the dynamics/movement of the player itelf. But for some reason I'm getting a 1120 error(access of undefined property). Basically how do you listen/access for functions within a different class?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Objects From Other Classes?

Jan 7, 2012

I want to access an object from a class in which it was not created in. I have a main class (A) in which I create and instantiate an object (of class B), from this class I can obviously do whatever I want with the object, no problem. The issue I'm having is another class (C) needs to access the object in question to change its x and y location values. Class C doesn't know what the instance of class B, created in class A, is; this doesn't surprise me, but I can't figure out how to allow class C to get access to what class A created.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Mc Classes Buttons?

Mar 31, 2012

I've recently started development on my first proper AS3 project and I�ve hit a sort of brick wall with my knowledge of how to make AS3 classes do what I want. I could do this in AS2 no problem with referencing the stage, but now that only the document class has access I'm stuck.I have instances of a MC called activity. These sit inside a container MC that is the source of a scroll pane (that sits on the stage).

When I click a button inside the Activity MC I need to generate a new MC and set that as the content of another scroll pane on the stage. I�ve tried several things, even gotten the stage passed to the activity MC class but it can't then be used to addChild to items on the stage just reference then (much to my aggravation). And I can�t set an event listener for the new activity�s button when it�s created as it throws a static display object error of some sort.What methods can I use to pass information from a MC class back to the stage so i can call a function or just paste a MC onto the stage? I'm at my wits end after about 10 hours of exhausting everything the internet seems to have to offer on the subject.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Objects With Linked Classes?

Sep 15, 2010

So I have a menu built inside of Flash CS4 that has a graphic for a background and five text fields that sit on it for menu options. The whole thing is saved as a movie clip in the library. The text fields all have instance names like infoBtn and mapBtn etc. and the menu is already on the stage and linked to it's own class in the library. My problem is accessing those text fields on the menu from the class. I keep getting "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." and the menu doesn't work. But if I trace the infoBtn.text in the class it outputs the text that is in the text field. So the code is accessing it but it's still not working?

Code:
package classes
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

Actionscript 3.0 :: Accessing Library Items From Other Classes?

Aug 28, 2009

How do you access Library items from classes other than the document class?For example, if I create a movie clip in Flash and Export it for Actionscript with the name Foo, I can do this in the document class:

Code: Select allvar f = new Foo();
this.addChild(f);

And it appears on the stage, as it should. But I need to be able to create other instances of this object from other classes. If I use the same code above in SomeOtherClass.as, I get nothing on the stage, obviously because this class doesn't know about the Foo object in the library.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Accessing Classes From Externally Loaded Swf's?

Apr 30, 2011

I have a document class which links to several classes, one of which adds a container onto the stage and loads external .swf's into it.Q: How do I access the various classes loaded in the document class from the external swf timeline?For instance, when you click a button in the loaded swf it changes the soundtrack from the soundtrack class. I have tried dispatchevent from the external swf timeline, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Is this supposed to work, or should I be doing something different?

Data Integration :: Loading XML Using A Custom Class And Accessing It From Other Classes?

Aug 30, 2006

I began with a class for a movie clip rollover function FigureRollOver. It works marvellously. Three things happen:

1) it loads XML from a file "mod1_fig1.xml" and uses another class, XMLMember, to retool the scoping of the XML so that I can get at it

2) an onload call inside of XMLMember calls the myOnLoad function and transfers the XML into an array.

3) so long as the array is finished building, rolling over a movie clip attaches a new movie clip with the rollover text in it.But I don't want all those functions in one because I need it to be more dynamic, starting with being able to load any old xml file instead of just "mod1_fig1.xml", plus it seems lik overbuilding to have all of that in one class, so I've separated out the loading of the XML and building of the array into its own class, FigureXMLLoader. FigureRollOver is then left to just attach the rollover with text in it, extracted from the array built by the new class.

Problem is, though the array builds inside FigureXMLLoader, I can't figure out how to make it available outside the class. I know that I'm constructing things in the wrong order, and that the array needs to be somehow built inside the class function to be available, but I can't figure out how to do that. A cruddy work-around is to put a function call at the end of the building of the array, which calls yet ANOTHER function on the main timeline of my .swf to put the array I've just built into a new variable.This works, but it's messy. It seems like I should be able to have one line of script in the .swf that generates an array on the main timeline (or just a public array) which I can then access from my FigureRollOver class:

var myRollOvers:Array = new FigureXMLLoader("mod1_fig1.xml");

Here is FigureXMLLoader (see comments in the code for more details) which obviously does not return an array as it is, because of all the working around I've had to do. Note the "testing" variable, which can be traced from the main timeline of the .swf, but I will get "not what I want" because of course the array hasn't been built yet, and never will be, inside of the declaration as it is. How do I get it in there so I can return an array?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Classes Accessing The Same Variable Without Making It Public?

Dec 26, 2006

i've got two classes and i'm not extending to MovieClip. I like to attach the mc in the constructor just because i'll be working with different MC's that have the same purpose.

however, im using private var loadedMC:Movieclip and now i've got another class that needs to be able to access the instance's variable.

for example, myClass.loadedMC , but this would mean having to make it public and I rather not go that route.

AS3 :: Accessing Attributes Of A Static Variable Of An Object From Another Object

Nov 7, 2009

I have 2 classes, Display holds the currently selected Component:

public class Display
{
public static var selectedComponent:Component;
}

Component has an ID string and the selectedComponent variable is set on click:

public class Component extends MovieClip
{
public var id:String;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() {

[Code]...

Removing the selectedComponent variable type so it reads public static var selectedComponent; removes the conversion error and seems to change the ID variable but it appears to only be a copy of the object.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Object From Other Object

Jul 20, 2011

I'm just starting with OOP in AS3 so apologies if this question is too simple...The goal of this script is to have a button change it's own features (colour and transparency) and change the alpha value of a loaded picture.There are 27 buttons for 27 (stacked) pictures.In the fla is the following code:[code]When I try to access the picture (= portrait class and the test_portrait var in the fla) it can't be found. The object and the loader have for example this path when I debug: Movie Clip: Frame=0 Target="_level0.p_4.l_4. But when I do trace(getChildByName("p_"+tmp_name)); in the P_button class it returns null. Doing the same trace from the fla returns: [object Portrait] Why can't I access it from the P_button class?

IDE :: Accessing An Object Placed On A Frame?

Nov 25, 2009

Ok, so I made a custom class, but I did not want to add all the text to it through code (much easier to type it in flash on the frame). I name the instance aScoreBoard.

As my code runs, I need to call some of the functions that are part of the ScoreBoard class. As the code gets to this point, I try this line:

aScoreBoard.UpdateScores(passArray);

which will update the scores on the scoreboard. When that line in AS3 tries to execute, I get this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Main/Main:ayEnd()[C:projectsDev_LearningLongJumpsrcMain.as:616]
at Main/Main::ButtonAfterJump()[C:projectsDev_LearningLongJumpsrcMain.as:606]

Is there a way to do things this way? or will I have to go and do all the extra text entering in the code?

Actionscript :: Constructor For Value Object Classes?

Is it OK to use the constructor to set properties for a value object class or must I use dot notation and set each one, one-by-one? I recently read an article that was saying I should do it one-by-one as value objects should only contain properties and went on to say using the constructor is not OK (best-practice wise).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Classes - Every Object To Be Associated With Own MovieClip?

May 5, 2009

I want to make a flash movie with cars of different kind. Every car looks different and have their own specifications like weight, horse powers, top speed. So.. I want to create a class Car that can hold the variables weight, horsePowers, topSpeed and should be linked with a specific MovieClip (the car).

The problem is I cannot link all my MovieClips, holding the cars, to the same class Car.Should I create a container to associate with the class and then place different car MovieClips in them depending on which car object I'm creating? (so the MovieClip itself is sort of a variable)

Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].....

And then I create an empty container_mc and volvo_mc, audi_mc, opel_mc. container_mc is linked with Car

var theVolvo:Car = new Car ( 1230, 230, volvo_mc);
