Actionscript 3 :: Flash: Transferring Loaded Object From One Class To Another?
Feb 27, 2010
I'm using flashDevelop for an avatar creation engine. I have a movieclip(class) called body_view which is structures like this :
body_view -> 10 visual body components -> each component needs to have a jpeg loaded
Then there is a body_model class which is extended from the body_view class and is responsible for all loads/saves/interactions now body_model class is as follows:
Now through the populateView function I need to populate the components of body_view but the issue is if I load a jpeg/swf on a function it comes on stage. I do not want it on stage I want it in its perticular place in the body_view

I can communicate an event between any of them fine using a dispatchEvent and addEventListener, and I can get values from the card & board actionscript files into main.as using e.target.*
However for some reason I just cannot get a value to send from main.as to the card or board classes using this same method. And I'm literally stumped as to why.
I haven't started work in this yet, however I intend to and would like to know the best method.There will be two screens,each powered by a separate machine.I want to be able to move the image off one screen and it appear on the other (machine 2).The image will be captured from a webcam on machine 1.The first idea I had was convert the image to a string, pass the string to the flash file on machine two, decode and display.Is this possible, or is there built in function in flash or as3 that would would recommend, or even a different method?
I have baiccly made a dress up game , but i have kinda of done it backwards and i have made the 2nd scene the 1st one
The boy side of the dress up game wasin the 1st scene and i have made the intro screen the 2nd one so you can chooseif you want to dress the girl or the boy. the only thing is that the girl dress up is in a completely diffrent flash file/project. I thought of the intro screen at the last min, was just going to have to seprate games girl and boy.
Buti would like to transfere the girl one to the boy one, so i can do my as for my girl button, but i dont know how to do that as well as keeping all my as in all my converted symblos and everything
I am converting all embed statements in my site with lazy loading. The code which was previously like this:
[Embed(source="/newswf.swf", symbol="kungfu")] public static var Kungfu:Class;
has now been converted to this form:
private var _loader:Loader = new Loader(); public static var abcd:Class = null; _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadComplete);
I have a .fla on my Mac that I created in Flash cs5. I saved it as a cs4 file and sent it to a friend who has a Windows machine.
I have a symbol linked to an AS class which has symbols inside of it which have instance names. The constructor of the class refers to these instance names. When I compile, everything works as expected. When my friend compiles, he gets compiler errors telling him that the instances mentioned above are undefined.
Checked to make sure that we had the same source path Made sure that the symbol in the Flash IDE has the correct linkage Tried compiling the .fla with cs4 on my machine. It works, which is what makes me think it's a Mac/Windows issue.
I have two SWF files which I shall call container and slave. The slave file contains a movieclip that extends from a class I shall call base. base extends MovieClip and is compiled into an SWC. slave includes this SWC as a runtime library, while container includes it as merged (and does reference it so it should be compiled into the container SWF).
The container loads the slave like so:
bgURLRequest = new URLRequest(slaveUrl); var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, new ApplicationDomain( null ), SecurityDomain.currentDomain); bgLoader.load(bgURLRequest, context);
When this loading happens, I get the error that class base was not found. I suspect this has something to do with the presence of the ApplicationDomain in there. I'm not sure what it does exactly, since I didn't write this loading code myself (but I do know that it's there for a reason so it can't be simply removed).
public class Example { public function Example () { }[code]............
You can see that the two last classes extend the first one, and both have the 'variable' property. In case that I have an instance of Example and I am sure it is also an ExtendedExample OR AnotherExtendedExample instance, is there some way to access the 'variable' property? Something like
function functionThatReceivesAnExtendedExample (ex:Example):void { if(some condition that I may need) { ex.func()
Using Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)
How can i cast a object to another type? in AS3 i tried putting (objectType) infront of the variable but it doesnt work, below i have added objects of fishes into the child, and i am getting the fishes back out when mouse down is triggered, and then calling the fishes what to do. however i cant call the method of the custom class fish because it is a displayobject.[code]...
I'm new to Flash AS3. I started making a game and I am a bit confused. Let's assume that I want to create a game that has multiple levels/modes, how can I do this in an object orientated way?
When i create games in other languages e.g. XNA C#, i create a separate class then create an object of that class within the main class and run the game based on a simple statement.
I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):
I have a class CoverPoint extends Pointwith some extra function.except for that ther is no difference. I would like to use the functions of Point with a return value of Point, to calculate those CoverPoints.Can i turn the return value into CoverPoint (since all the vars are the same, there shouldn't be a problem with that, right?), so that it can be stored in my var cP:CoverPoint;
I started this school project on a CS5.5 but my school only has CS5 not CS5.5 and i'm trying to transfer my files on CS5.5 to CS5. Is there any way to do that or is it just a lost cause?
How I should go about coming up with a program in action script 3 that can transfer data keyed in one swf file to another. Basically all I want is to key in a name in the 'y.swf' file when it plays in the browser, and when I click on submit another swf (z.swf)opens in the browser saying 'You keyed in '***'. The value keyed in the 'y.swf' file should be tranfered and stored as a variable in 'z.swf'.
I just recently created a news ticker using the tutorial on Kirupa; however, I have not been successful at getting my xml data to show up on the news ticker. I have my xml file stored on and my website will be stored on Savannah State University's server. I do not want to have my xml file on the same domain as my website because it will be on my school's server and they don't allow access to their server. I want to be able to update the news ticker freely.
I have two variables: var defaultMainHexidec:Number = 0xFFFFFF; var mainHexidec:Number;
If a value isn't assigned to mainHexidec I assign the default value as follows: mainHexidec = defaultMainHexidec; trace("mainHexidec = " + mainHexidec);
The trace returns the same value as the value returned when tracing the defualt value. But if I use mainHexidec as the fill for a rectangle, the color is black while the default value is white (or any other color). If I set the color using the default variable the fill appears correctly. If I set the number using the number traced in either defaultMainHexidec or mainHexidec (it traces the same number) the color is correct.
I have function that's used to transfer elements from one vector to another. The problem is that I need to use this function to transfer data from multiple pairs of vector with each pair having a different data type. I tried this but it came up with an error.
ActionScript Code: function addToVector(dataType:Class, vect:Vector.<dataType>, baseVect:Vector.<dataType>):void { for (var i:int = 0, l:int = vect.length; i < l; i++) baseVect.push(vect[i]); }
I've also tried this, but then flex says it doesn't recognize the vector class. ActionScript Code: function addToVector(vect:Vector.<*>, baseVect:Vector.<*>):void { for (var i:int = 0, l:int = vect.length; i < l; i++) baseVect.push(vect[i]); }
This failed too ActionScript Code: function addToVector(vect:Vector.<Object>, baseVect:Vector.<Object>):void { for (var i:int = 0, l:int = vect.length; i < l; i++) baseVect.push(vect[i]); }
All Im trying to do is post firstname, lastname and emailaddress from a form inside my swf to a php file and then get that php file to return a result back to my swf.
First of all i tried using external interface to handle this because the server its going to run on doesnt support PHP.
I had the SWFgrab the data from the text fields, pass the data to JS through external interface, then the JS would use jquery AJAX to execute the php file, then the JS would grab the results from the AJAXd div, then pass the data back through to the SWF. It was a bit of a circle jerk but it worked.
However, the PHP script that needs to be executed in a different domain as the SWF. I forgot that this would cause an issue. I then tried to setup AJAX crossdomain policies, but this is going to be a reasonably high traffic site and i felt that the proxy options that i found were kind of slow.
I realised that what id been doing so far was probably over complicated anyway. So, i went back to basics and thought id try using the URLLoader to load in the php file as a string. I setup a crossdomain.xml file on my server that will be hosting the PHP and used the loader to grab the PHP file.
This works fine, all the PHP does is echo out 3 comma separated values which i then split into an array and use in my SWF. I get the values no problem. However, my status bar in firefox keeps saying that its still transferring.
Ive tried telling the PHP script to 'exit();' after its echo'd out my results. Ive tried telling the URLoader to .close(); when its grabbed the data, neither of which stop it from transferring. Im also using the web debugging proxy 'Charles' and that says that the connection opened and closed successfully, but firefox still says that its transferring.[code]...
im loading a child swf into my parent swf and I want to pass some parameters to the child swf.
Here is my code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "test.swf" ); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete ); loader.load(req);
I have an older site that is coded in AS2(I can't get it to AS3 sorry) I found this script online that allows for mouse scrolling. It is in AS3 and I can't figure out what Event replaced in AS2. I'm sure there are much better AS programmers than me that could tell me off the bat. I'm just trying to get this converted to AS2.
var verticalCenter:Number = stage.stageHeight / 2; var limit:Number = stage.stageHeight - content_mc.height; var speed:Number = 0.1;
Is there a standard way to send variables through a banner ad? A client wants a banner that lets the user enter his mobile number, then receives a code by sms, and then enters the code into the banner. If the code then validates, the user is sent to a page with a login form with the phone number and code filled in. It must be possible to add the phone number and code as parameters to the clickTag somehow? I found that Adform supports using ";cppar=1&" and then variable=value pairs, but is this a standard, or a special feature of Adform?
I am using the loadVariable method of the MovieClip class to load some data. I have a question about the "transfering data from domain" message I see at the bottom of firefox for a page that has this swf loaded in. The load variables call obviously complete very quickly (the output is just h=1&d=1, or something as short as that) but the transfering data remains the entire time the page is in the browser (like half an hour later, etc).
I have a client that I am going live with so I am transferring their website from my web server to their web server. Using Zend AMF, I am calling a database that reads perfectly when I point to it from my server but it doesn't work when I call the database from the client's server. In both instances, I am pointing to the same absolute path to my boot strap (on my web server). I don't understand what the difference would be.
Is there an easy way to reset all of my variables to the way they were when I first loaded the package so that I don't have to go through all of the variables and reset them manually?
I have a compiled swf File (lets call it "cat.swf") that is loaded via the Loader Class of my Main movie. The cat appears without problems. But inside cat.swf there are two movieclips defined (lets call em "head" and "body"), and I have ye to find a way to get control of these from my Main movie.
When I check for numChildren of the loader Object it only gives me back one (an unnamed instance), if I cast that as a Movieclip to check for deeper children it continues all the way down like a tower of turtles.
