AS3 says you need to load variables into a class?my variables look like this... (the whole point of playing around with variables was that if I had to make a change I could access one place and change them but now I realse that I can't access or call them outside the movie clip they are in.[code] The Wholesale price. A wholesaler is usually a big shed where goods are stored.
View 7 RepliesI'd have thought this to be simple, but nothing works. I have a game I'm working on, and in it, there will be a speed stat. The fast you are going, the faster everything else has to move to make it look like you are moving faster.The problem is, the speed stat (obviously not called speed) is one of the upgradable stats, and needs to be available for the class handling upgrades for it to be changed, and it needs to be read by the class handling moving objects.The second class however, has absolutely no idea the variable even exists. I've tried for weeks to look up a tutorial on it, but there doesn't seem to be any at all that I can find. (I am using public variables, and have tried various ways of trying to point at the class it's from but apparently I must be using the wrong syntax)
View 12 Repliesi'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.
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
From all the documentation and examples I can find, it appears that it would be
correct to create a global array variable [outside of any functions] to load image names into, then use these images for a slideshow. I want to make the app dynamic, in that changing the text file gives a new set of images.
The global variable goes null [no values] after the load event listener. Why is that?
Isn't global, well global, and alive for the duration of the SWF?

I am making a movie that has classes. There is one MovieClip in the movie and it needs to have a blank base class, because one of the classes is a Dynamic.

Basically I'm trying to make an air app which contains a variety of different pages - I was under the understanding that each page would have its own class file, with everything being instantiated for that page within the class file.
If that is the case, then how would I make the transition from class to class and also remove the previous class so it doesnt take up memory?

I was just wondering if this is possible and the best way to achieve the following.I have 3 classes. One base class and 2 subclasses. eg MyShape, Square, Circle. The Circle and Square classes both override the MyShape's assignProperties method which takes a string as its argument.What I do in this method is loop through a serialized string and assign variables.So the string looks something like p:10|x:200|f:300Because some of the properties are generic to the MyShape class I have the Circle and Square assignProperties call super.assignProperties()Now this all works great but I realised I'm going to get some repitition calling it at each level.
So I was thinking is it possible to get the supers.assignProperties to strip a property from the string if it is found before the assignProperties in the Circle and Square class is called.Here is sort of what I have with a little pseudo codeSquare Class assignProperties Method
PHP Code:
assignProperties(_properties:String) {
var properties:Array = _properties.split('|');

I have a problem with returning variable between classes. As far as I know there are some ways to do it but in this particular case I tried to use Getter.
So I have an XML file (content.xml), a class to read XML (LoadXMLExt.as), a class to display images, and the main class which first call the LoadXMLExt to get the information from and then call the displayimage class including passing the information from LoadXMLExt.

I'm trying to make a Class for a slideshow. I have a problem using the setInterval and clearInterval methods.See my code below. In the showPic function I have a conditional clearing the interval (repeating the showPic function). At least, it should do so, but it's not working. The interval continues. I'm using "this" so that's not the problem. Maybe it has to do with the scope of the variable to which I assigned the interval?

I finally got the variable referencing between classes and custom event problems sorted out. Now I got a question regarding the Error #2044 and Error #2035. The error reads like this:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I've put all the swf in the same directory, so I don't think that is the problem. Could it be that my XML file is in another directory that's causing the problem? I also heard having quotes in the URL in the XML file could also be problematic. Is that true? Here are my AS and my XML file.

I've rarely used static variables or methods when creating external classes, but I have on occasion, and it's very useful when I need global access to a value. I've seen negative criticism on the use of the "static" keyword, but never understood why. Is there a right and wrong way of using it, or is this not true? I'd like to use it in a context similar to classes such as MouseEvent or TextFieldAutoSize, where there is a list of values globally accessible for identification purposes.
It allows better code readability, and also allows for easy customization in the future. The value of TextFieldAutoSize.NONE is "none", but as long as a programmer used the reference TextFieldAutoSize.NONE and not the string literal "none", Adobe could change the value of TextFieldAutoSize.NONE to be "hahahahaha" and everything would still work just dandy because (TextFieldAutoSize.NONE == TextFieldAutoSize.NONE) is still true even though ("none" == "hahahahaha") is not.
Is there any kind of negative impact on using static variables this way? Or even functions for that matter? I'd just like to clarify this before I go and build a large project around the idea this is perfectly okay.
I am working on a client who wants a "Game-like" tour of their facilities on their website. I can use flash and do some very basic actionscript ..especially cutting and pasting
At any rate, I have character that moves on the main tour map and he starts in the parking lot...he can go from one screen ( scene ) to another. But when the character returns to the main tour map he always starts at the same location. As opposed to starting where he just came from. Such as if he just went into the "Process Plant" he should start on the main map at the "Proccessing plant" ... Can I set the X Y coordinates in some type of variable that remembers where he came from when he exits another scene and returns to the main map...?
I've moved to actionscript 3.0 from PHP, and there are some things I just do not get. For example, making a variable name with another variable.Let's say I have movieclips called object1, object2, object3 and so on. I used Math.round() and Math.random() to get a random integer number, and I want to select one of my movieclips according to this number I get.
In php, you can do this:
PHP Code:
<?php
$objectNumber 1;//Let's say this is a random number
[code].....
[Code]...
so what i want it to do is making 10 varibles named Name1 - 10
Making a random variable?
View 9 RepliesBasically I'm trying to load a variable from an external file and then make that variable available for anything.
Code:
var where;
locSource = new LoadVars ();
locSource.load("source.txt");[code]....
I've tried all the variations of this I can think of. I've defined "where" as a global variable both outside and inside the function, tried to define a separate global value within the function (and changed the syntax of the trace accordingly in either case), nothing works. Basically, the function is being loaded properly; if I put the trace inside the function it shows up perfectly, but the variable isn't available for anything else, which is what I need to happen.
it's possible to have AS take the filename of itself and make it a variable. I need it to be done by AS only. I know it's possible in PHP, but I'm not sure about AS. I'm guessing if it's possible it's one line of code. I'm using Flash 8 but publishing at Flash 6, AS 2.
View 2 Repliesvar myNumberArray:Array = new Array;
myNumberArray[1] = new Object;
myNumberArray[1].myProperty = 10;
[Code]....
This obviously traces out the string "myNumberArray[1].myProperty", completely disregarding that there's already a variable/property called myNumberArray[1].myProperty, which has a value of its own.
Tracing out this[myStringVariable] just gives an 'undefined'.
Is there any way to get it to trace "10", using only the 'myStringVariable'? In other words, to make AS understand that myStringVariable contains the name of another variable/property?

I have two ActionScript 3 projects, game(.swf) and minigame(.swf). At runtime the main game loads the minigame via Loader. I also have a shared library (SWC) of event classes, included by both, which minigame will need to dispatch and game will need to listen to.
First: Is this possible this way? Second: What will happen if I compile the minigame, then change the event classes so they're incompatible, then compile the main game. Will Flash crash when trying to load the minigame SWF? (I hope so)
Third: And what will happen if I change the event classes, but in a way that preserves interface-level compatibility?
