I have a library object (SomethingMC) which extends a custom class (Something). Something, in turn, extends MovieClip.If adding SomethingMC to the stage within Flash CS3 IDE, is it possible for it's super class (Something) to assign an instance name from a class constant (Something.THE_CONSTANT)?
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].....
The above does not work. It throws Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified. if the instance is assigned a name in the IDE, and it just doesn't work if no name is assigned in the IDE.
I have a class. I can call the constructor (initialize the class), and the constructor can then call a function/method inside it's own class (so I know it works), but when I try to call the same function/method myself from the instance of the class I just initialized, I get an error.

I'm making a kind of image showcase, what has a fluid width and height, depending on browser window dimensions. Everything is okay, I have other kind of issue: in constructor function in this gallery class I can't use stage property, I have to get it from main class. Why Flash treats me this way and how I can avoid this currentStage variable?

overloaded constructor method is there in flash? Iam trying the following code but it is giving error like this "A class must have only one constructor."

Some constructor methods I've seen have the return type :void, even though they can't actually return any values anyway. If it's not required, is there a standard/best practice for that?

View 4 RepliesI have a Sprite in my library that is linked to a class (lets call it SomeClass), and i put on stage in Flash, and name the instance someClass. In my Main.as i then write:
var myClass:SomeClass = this.someClass;
SomeClass.as has a constructor with the same name as the class, however it require an argument. How do I pass that to the class when I made an instance of it directly in Flash by dragging it to the stage? (instead of the usual ... = new SomeClass(arg); )
I tried something like this:
myClass.SomeClass(arg);
But that gives me this error:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method SomeClass through a reference with static type SomeClass.
I just posted a message asking how to call a method from the constructor which has the parameters e: Event. I mistakenly ticked that post as answered when in reality it isnt. I was told I could add = null in the parameter of the function to make it work, like this:

Is it possible to create an instance of a class without triggering the class' constructor?[code]In the case above, say I wanted to play around with a Foo instance, but I really don't want my global.foobarCount going up, nor do i want to pass in any value at all for bar.This could be useful for introspection where you want to learn more about or pass a particular class object but don't want to provide required arguments or trigger anything that the constructor may do.Is this at all possible? (Obviously, new Foo() just doesn't cut it here, since it would throw and arguments error, nor does just using Foo, since that's a reference to the class itself).

then create local variables with the values of the arguments

View 5 RepliesI like finding out about tricky new ways to do things. Let's say you've got a class with a property that gets set to the value of an argument in the constructor, like so:[code]That's not exactly a hassle. But imagine you've got... I don't know, five properties. Ten properties, maybe. Rather then writing out each individual assignment, line by line, isn't there a way to loop through the constructor's arguments and set the value of each corresponding property on the new instance accordingly? I don't think that the ...rest or arguments objects will work, since they only keep an enumerated list of the arguments, not the argument names - I'm thinking something like this would be better:[code]

I'm having a problem with customized Actionscript objects not recognizing thier own constructor. This is the pertinant part of my script:
ActionScript Code:
//File: Line.as
class Line extends Object{
public function Line(args){
[Code].....
Clearly, the variable "testLine", is one of my custom "Line" objects. Clearly, it has been made with the "Line" constructor. So why won't flash acknowledge this?
For example, I have the class Bullet, with a constructor: Bullet(start:Point, target:Point)constructor
But, if this Bullet class extends the MovieClip class, how do I pass start and target into it? Right now I am using attachMovie to create instances of the class. (They behave correctly with the static properties set by the constructor, but to be useful it needs arguments.)
I know I can create instances from a string like this:
var classFromClassPath:Class = getDefinitionByName(classPath) as Class;
var instance:Object = new classFromClassPath()
I know I can call some function with a parameter array like this
var x:Function = someFunction;
x.apply(null,args);
But does anyone know if I can pass parameters like that when I construct a class?
