I am receiving the following compile time error when attempting to extend the SimpleButton class in AS3:
1017: the definition of base class SimpleButton was not found
and the code:
package com.shakti.gameState{
import flash.display.SimpleButton.SimpleButton;
public class buttonTile extends SimpleButton {
public var id:int;
[Code]...
I am a complete nuff nuff when it comes to AS3 so bare with me. I had a website skeleton made by a scripter. He made lots of AS files that call to each other with a few movie clips that are populated via the As files. This worked fine for me, I could update the text and image files no dramas and did so and got the website up and running.
A couple of weeks later had to update the files to add a new section adn text and images. Again all went swimmingly. Fast forward to today. Went to update the files and added a new section as per all the other ones. Everything marries up in relation to naming conventions, placement of files within folders et c but suddenly now I'm getting all these errors. 1017: The definition of base class TextItemTemplate was not found.
I've been trying to edit my sister's Flash website, which was developed by someone else, but I'm a newbie with ActionScript so am having a few difficulties. Every time I try to publish a file, I get this error:
1017: The definition of base class UIForm was not found.
I found documentation online for a similar error - regarding UIComponent - so I tried creating a new source path under ActionScript 3.0 as suggested but no luck. I'm having difficulty finding documentation online specifically for UIForm.I tried searching for the location of UIForm under program files but couldn't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm on CS4.
I don't how to describe the situation in short, so I am going to describe it in details.
I have created a class, extended from MovieClip. It looks like this:
// Libraries are imported
public class WindowObject extends MovieClip {
public function WindowObject():void {
dragArea_mc.addEventListener(...);
[Code]...
When I clicked on the errors, they redirected me to the WindowObject class.If I don't create new classes, but just write the additional functions on the MovieClip directly, and set back the base class to be WindowObject, it works fine again.
Im following a 'recipe' in the O'reilly AS3 Cookbook, but it doesnt work.i keep getting the error 5000: The class 'RectangleButton' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*
import flash.text.*;[code]]........
I've created a button under the SimpleButton class named button1 in Flash CS4. I've set button1 so it exports to AS3. I keep getting an Error 1061 at line 3 of which I have no clue what I'm doing wrong:

1 import flash.events.MouseEvent;
2
3 button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, link1);
4
5 function link1(MouseEvent)
6 {
7var one:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL)");
8navigateToURL(one, "_self");

View 1 Repliesi have a simple navigation system with three buttons, each button have a text field in it. On mouse over they change color to blue. I can achieve all these without a single line of code. I simply make a button of my text field in flash, and change the color of the text in the timeline.
My problem occurs when i want to make the color to stay blue when i click on the button. Apparently you can't access the child within a button, in my case a dynamic text field. I've googled this problem and they all say that you should use a MC instead of a button. Thats exactly what i have done so far. But i'm getting tired of writing a bunch of eventlisteners and put an extra layer with an invisible button in my button mc so i can get the hand cursor (because the .buttonMode = true and useHandCursor doesn't work when there is text field inside the mc). Any way, shouldn't there be a more elegant way to solve this problem?
I've been trying to build a new base class for my button that extends SimpleButton, and from there access the embedded child object, but the problem remains.
In this example i'm trying to simply change the text of the text field inside of my new MyButton instance. But i get the same old Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
package
{
import...
public class Mybutton extends SimpleButton

i have couple of classes that i use in my projects.they have the package name gkAPI and was in the folder D:gkAPI but i had to reinstall windows and also flash cs4 and also the drive letter changed so the class files are in E:gkAPI i added the line "E:gkAPI " in source files in preferences but the project which used these classes fail to compile. it worked earlier (so there cant be any typing mistake") but now saying the classes specified cannot be found
View 0 RepliesWord to the Flash Genies-- Heres my wish that hopefully someone else is struggling with an enormously mind-boggling bug in flash cs3-- when I try to create a public class that extends any of the native flash display objects, and I put this in its own package, even after specifically importing the specific class OR the package wildcard .* the fla that I'm compiling returns error 1017-- Base Class Definition not found. The fla is set to the correct classpath. This situation slipped from 'minor annoyance' to 'mind boggling' after I moved the directory to a different pc with cs3, reset the local classpath and it compiled perfectly. So then I moved the directory to a mac, running flex builder, and made a tester file to use the class, which compiled perfectly.
For some wierd reason, this particular computer cannot compile, even though nothing had changed in the actual class. Maybe it is important to note that this machine is running Vista (and perhaps should not be!)? Maybe it is important to note that the package is part of an SVN directory? Maybe it is important to note that after re-saving the same class file, changing only the class name (from BitmapSprite to BSprite) enabled it to compile on this machine, even though both the mac and other pc (running windows XP) could compile the class as BitmapSprite. I'm not sure if the name change or just re-saving allowed it to compile--but maybe it's significant that the new named instance was not committed to svn.
I made a custom event, but was getting this runtime error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@1498f491 to com.esidegallery.net.BatchLoaderEvent. and eventually found what I thought was the the answer here - [URL] I made the necessary changes, but I'm still getting the same error! It's just a batch loader that dispatches a custom event for every item that loads, with its LoaderInfo object attached. Here's the event code:

I am trying to extend the TextItem class in Flex 4 but I keep getting the following error:

Initially I thought that I might be extending the class in the wrong way, but all the examples I found look the same.

View 7 RepliesI've created a Button in Adobe Flash CS5, it's a Symbol, and its type has been set to Button.
The button has a dynamic textfield with the instance name label.
I've set the class of this Button to MenuButton, and I've set the class to Export for ActionScript.
This is the code of the MenuButton class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]....
Whenever I put a string in MenuButton's constructor, label's text doesn't change.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::SimpleButton@f8beaf1 to flash.text.TextField.
I put in a dynamic textbox and attempt to print something into it. but once i put in that textbox, i get the above error when i debug.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::SimpleButton@28cfdfa1 to fl.text.TLFTextField. at editor/setmyFormat().There is no SimpleButton in this project, so I cannot figure this one out.this is the line of code causing the problem.
var mainText:TLFTextField = TLFTextField(e.target);
Basically the issue I am having is related to the TextField class. I was hoping to create a custom textField class which would allow me to specify the x and y positions of the textField upon creating it.
However in trying I received numerous errors. Below is my code.

I was hoping to extend the simple button class in order to have it contain a text field that I can set with code but still have the benefits of the up/over/ states etc... (To set a textfield within a SimpleButton doesn't seem possible with SimpleButton out of the box, you cant reference anything in it).

If I am not mistaken in order to dispatch a message from a class you need to extend EventDispatcher. What happens when you are already extended the class from a different class? Is there no way to dispatch messages?

I want to add a property to the MovieClip class. I just have a bunch of MovieClips that are placed on the stage by reading an XML file and creating lots of clips according to the information in them. Now, I need to know which MovieClips were created below previous clips, and I figure that the easiest way to do so would be by extending the MovieClip class and add an order property.I have some problems though: I don't know how to set or get this order property within the main clip, I don't know how to place this clip within my movie, and I don't know how to create them dynamically (do I just do something like var myNewObjectOfExtendedClass : myExtendedClassName = new myExtendedClassName?)

I made the transition to AS3 two years ago, but I still carry with me old AS2 habits. Could someone please help me understand how I extend a custom class correctly. I have the bad habit of putting most of my code in one .as file (the Document class), but I use a few custom classes now and then. What I'm tring to figure out is how I would extend a class of this type:
public class ClipDragger {
private var _clip:MovieClip;
public function ClipDragger(clip:MovieClip) {
_clip = clip;
[code]....
For example I would like to add a MOUSE_MOVE listener, and also add actions to the drag function.
