I created a MovieClip and linked it to a class, in the movieclip's frame actions I am making calls to methods defined in the linked class. At first I had the class in the root folder along with the fla file. I then moved it into a sub-folder, I updated the linkage property to represent the change but I am now getting an "1108: Call to possaibly undefined method".

how do i get more than one symbol linked to my class in my SoundClass.as file?
View 3 RepliesFlex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

Library symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.

I am mainly from a Java background, so perhaps I am misunderstanding an ActionScript concept; if anybody could point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful!
(Spoiler alert: It's not an issue of my package statement not reflecting the location of my class file.) When I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.

Running Flash CS3, I've reviewed the lynda.com tutorial on building particle systems in ActionScript 3.0 to try and build some shooting sparks in an animation.I'm getting stuck at what I think is a really elementary point, but I can't seem to get past it.
Basically, all I'm trying to do at this point is create a class called Particle (which I will teach to do things that particles do a little later) link it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the particle's update function to move it across the stage in a manner defined in the instance (so I can later give different movement properties to each AS generated instance of the MC). I know there are easier ways to accomplish my base task without loading an external package, but this seems so strightforward that I must be doing something very simple wrong I just can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.
I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my Spark Test.fla file.
In Particle.as I have the following code:
package{ import flash.display.*; public class Particle extends MovieClip { public xVelocity:Number; public yVelocity:Number; public function Particle() { xVelocity = 0; yVelocity = 0; } public function update():void { this.x += xVelocity; this.y += yVelocity; } }}
So I'm declaring that all particles are built with no motion, but if they are explicitly granted an x or y velocity, they will move by that much when the instance's update function is called in the timeline.
Then in my Spark Test.fla file, I have a small shape in a MovieClip called Spark. In the Linkage properties of Spark I have chosen to Export for ActionScript and Export in FIrst Frame. The class is called Spark and the Base class is Particle. For testing purposes I've dropped an instance on the stage and called it spark. Then in the actions layer in the first frame (the timeline is just the spark layer and the actions layer, one frame long each with no "stop();" so it should run forever) I have included the following code:
spark.xVelocity = 5;spark.yVelocity = -1;
function updateSpark(event:Event):void{ spark.update();}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSpark);
What it looks like this should do is on each ENTER_FRAME Flash should call updateSpark which is a function that runs the update() event for the spark instance which is a instance of a movieclip that has an update event which moves x and y position by their relative velocity variables. This all seems pretty straightforward to me, but when I ctrl-Enter to test the movie, I get the following 3 compiler errors:
Particle.as Line 1: 5000: The class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Particle.as Line 7: 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not xVelocity.

View 3 RepliesI'm using flash to draw objects, then I export them and use them from flex, and I'm a beginner in flash.
I'm trying to do the override a method from the MovieClip I created. The method I'm trying to override is stop() method. I didn't write a single line of code, my movie clip is created using entirely the flash interface. I figured out how to add actions to the movie clip when a frame is reached but I'm stucked now when I'm trying to override a MovieClip method.
I've just migrated to AS3 and am trying to get my head around how to instantiate library symbols as instances of a class.Here's the problem: I'm making a tile-based game with a Map object to which are linked many Tile objects. Now while I initially create blank tiles, I later want to populate them with terrain. This operation will change thus the tile's _terrainType property. Finally, I want to then draw the map consisting of its many tiles. Tiles without a terrain type will remain plain vanilla, but those that have terrain types specified would obviously appear different.
Now the Tile object itself extends Sprite, so it is a DisplayObjectContainer (k, no problems there). My question is, how do I now either a) directly assign it a library symbol graphic,following it's instantiation (if this is even possible?) or b) dynamically use addChild() to add a library symbol graphic of a certain classname (my preferred tactic)? The problem is if I have to do something like this...
Code:
var tileImg:MovieClip = new mountainTerrain();
addChild(tileImg);
then I have to write a bleedin' huge switch() statement to reference a hash table which specifies which terrain type refers to which symbol class type, which is just ugly and crap.The most logical thing to me would seem to be something like this...
Code:
var tileImg:MovieClip = new eval(classname)();
addChild(tileImg);
...but clearly I'm misguided because eval() doesn't even exist in AS3 and I have attempted it's equivalent with no likelihood of success.How do I dynamically add a graphic to represent each instance of my Tile class?
On the mxmlc command line, I can include paths to RSL files. I can choose to link these RSLs at runtime by setting

I've got an FLV video linked to an external SWF (a substage) that is itself linked to another SWF (the main stage) The FLV plays fine if I publish and run the substage independently but when the substage is loaded into the main stage at runtime I lose the video, all the other screen elements from the substage work fine. I thought it might be a path issue so I hardcoded a fully qualified URL as the video source with the same results; works independently, fails when loaded into the main stage at run time.
Flash CS5/AS3 using the video player component.
I'm trying to use the AS3 version of Adobe's new Flash Media Server 3.5 bandwidth detection, using their documentation, (flashmediaserver_dev_guide).The BW detection works fine (runs a bandwidth check and displays the bandwidth in a trace statement), but that only seems to work if the flash file that accompanies the .as file is left completely blank/empty. As soon as I try to put in even the simplest actionscript, (stop() for example), I get an error message that says "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript." and a similar one for the stop() method.
Do I need to, in the .as class file, extend a class other than the Sprite class that's listed in the documentation?
I have four classes -
class Init - intialises some variables, and is the doc Class.
class Street - loads XML data for, say, a number of streets in a particular area
class House - loads in the houses data for one particular street
class DisplayHouse - displays graphics on screen for the houses
This all seems to be working apart from the actual graphical display of objects.In the ouput window I am seeing the results I need to see pertaining the the XML data loaded.The problem is that in House - I have the code :
var new _house = new DisplayHouse();
addChild (_house);
and DisplayHouse is a simple graphics-shape:
var drawHouse:Sprite=new Sprite();
code... to draw house!
addChild(drawHouse);
Now, when I comile, I keep getting this error:
Location: House.as
Description: 1180:call to undefined method addChild
Source: addChild (_house);
House extends sprite and has import Sprite and all that! - infact all the classes have the same imports and extend Sprite!semi-colons are all in right places, there are no typos!I simply cannot understand why addChild is an undefined method in this case!

View 1 RepliesI have a main movie on my site with buttons that display linked movies in the right half of that main movie. One of the movies is the kind that I only want to play through once, then stop. In the FLA file of that linked movie I've put a stop(); action in the final frame, and when played alone it stops accordingly. But when it plays as a linked movie, it continues to loop. What can I do about this? The button script on the movie doing the importing is:
on (press) {gotoAndStop("flash_dev");
flash_mc.loadMovie("cubeintro.swf");
clearInterval(_root.myInterval); }
