Professional :: Calling External As Classes?
Apr 2, 2010
If I have an external .as file that contains a function within a public class, how do I call it?I have succesfully used examples, but don't understand the way they are addressed, and get errors when I try to create my own.So if my .as file named external.as contains a public class named exampleClass, which contains a function named doThis(), is it called in CS4 using..
exampleClass.doThis();
or external.doThis();
If it's just exampleClass.doThis(); - how does Flash know where to look for it without

I'm currently developing a game in flash and want to be able to divide up my .fla assets in a way that means artists can work on a game menu .fla in isolation from the game.fla and rest of the game code.If I could briefly explain how I've approached this so far, I would be extremelyMy project is setup like this:HighScoreMenu.fla -> document class HighScoreMenu extending GameMenu class.game.fla ->document class game.asgame.as class loads the published HighScoreMenu.swf and manipulates the menu i.e. animates on and off screen via inherited functions in the GameMenu class.
Now this seemed to work to begin with, until my code evolved and upon going to publish my HighScoreMenu.fla flash started complaining about symbols being used in Game.as that were in Game.fla... If I'm only publishing the HighScoreMenu which extends from GameMenu then why is it even looking to compile Game.as

How do I call a function across classes? I have a primary class ("ChordLib.as") that contains a function that manages options for TileList component, that includes prescribing a custom Cell Rendering class, "MyRenderer". I want to be able to call a function in the primary "ChordLib.as" class from the "MyRenderer.as" class. Here is the function in "ChordLib" that refers to the "MyRenderer" class. Perhaps there is a way here to pass reference of the primary class into "MyRenderer"?

I'm new to flash, as3 and this forum so any help would be great!I've made an xml gallery, all the movieclips and everything have been created dynamically and the images are being loaded through an xml file. Except two buttons which are in the library and have the linkage names next_btn and prev_btn.
Now what I want to do is, I have 3 categories of galleries, so I want to convert my script into a class which I can use for every type of gallery. (I hope I'm being clear)When the user clicks on gallery, a the function startGallery() is called.
I need to know how to go about it I'm pretty much clueless, I've read a WHOLE LOT of tutorials about classes but I really can't understand how to do this.

Here's a coding question for the guru's I've written a simple function that will clear a form. I want to call this function from another function (4 of them to be exact). I could copy and paste code multiple times and everything will work. But where's the fun in that? There's something to be said about clean code.
For sake of explanation, the tween are working 4 layers that are on top of each other (don't ask )

I'm trying to drop in a quick mp3 player into a site that creates a playlist from an XML (to the folks at ClickPopMedia for the basics of the code). It works fine in the Flash testing environment, but when I put it online, or even on my local testing server, the playlist doesn't load ,just an empty space where the List component should be. I get this error in the debugger in the Flash environment even thought it works (C:htdocs is my localhost):Quote:Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.URL:file:///music.xmlat Mp3Main()[C:htdocsTrafficEntertainmentTE_sitephpsitemus icPlayerMp3Main.as:26]I'm assuming it's some sort of pathname or URLRequest issue but Every file involved is in the same folder for now. Do I need to do something different because it streams?The AS (only a portion):

I am struggling with what seems to be a simple problem. Searched and can't find the answer, it seems. I have an FLA I said I'd edit for a friend... just a few simple text edits. However, when I go to publish the movie, it makes a call to an external "State Manager" that it can't find, so the movie loops endlessly. Here is the actionscript: Code: Select allimport com.exanimo.managers.StateManager;
So I'm guessing it's looking find that at that domain. I guess that's the doing of the original programmer. However, I have noticed that there is a StateManager.js file on the webserver in the same directory where the SWF resides. Have I received an old FLA that pointed externally instead of to the local js manager? How can I change the syntax so that it finds the state manager locally?

its a site about interior design. my job is to add some code to do something. i checked the code and his approach is not so good.. he's coding inside objects and frames at the same time. (ive read many actionscript books and this is a really bad practice). Here's the problem... he wants this to be implemented in the site...1.) in the gallery there is a scrolling thumbnails, he wants this to pause about 4 seconds then it will start to scroll..(ive already fixed this by creating a function interval.
Here is where my problem is...2.) When you click the thumbnail, the enlarged view will pop up.. the enalarged view are external swfs... the client wants that when you click on the thumbnail, the scrolling will stop and the external popup enlarged image will come out...this external swf has an exit button to go back to the main gallery window which is another swf... so the client wants that when you hit exit from the external swf popup window, the scrolling will resume.... im having a hard time figuring this out because i dont know how to call a function from an external swf to the main movie (the gallery page) Ill post the fla of main movie, gallery and a single external swf link of the thumbnail. just click on the first picture that will appear on the gallery

I'm having some problems with importing classes in AS3. I'm kinda new to flash and programming in general. I searched on these forums and couldn't find anything in regards to importing an external class. I'm trying to import the tweener class and I used the code: import caurina.transitions.Tweener; on the first frame of the symbol I'm trying to load the class in. But I get a syntax error and an error that says "statement must appear within on/onclipevent handler".

I usually lurk, but on and off over the past 2-3 months...I've been trying to solve a problem and I can't seem to find a good solution for it. Here is my problem: - I have a SWF that acts as a Shell. This shell will contain the Design Template, the functions/class calls to make it run, and a call to the external SWF that contains all the core code classes.
- My main goal for this setup is to separate the front end Design part (which can be edited and modified relatively easily) from the core code. Now the core code is something the person making the Design Template should not have to mess with. They call it and they are done; they can now use the classes for most of the functionality they will need.
- The problem is, when I change the external SWF with the core code and distribute it... the Design Template needs to be recompiled to get any updates the external SWf core code has made. I want this to be done at runtime so that the user will not have to recompile their Design Template when the core code is updated. - Now, I've seen some people talk about a runtime library... but you have to go into the IDE and set things up a certain way or something something... I don't want that. Is there a way to make all this work in actionscript?

Additional Notes:
- Yes, it must be an external SWF. My requirements are adamant about not using an .as file.
- From my tests (though a bit fuzzy and may be flawed) an include statement will work in runtime. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- I've seen some PNG encryption method for games suggested somewhere. I haven't tried this (because encryption isn't the main goal...), but in theory, would this make the code from an updated core code external SWF refresh in realtime without recompiling the Design Template SWF file?

Let's say you have a ton of code in your timeline but none of it is classes. Is it possible to put these into several external .as files? If so, how do you include them?
