Actionscript 3 :: Getter And Companion Setter In Different Namespaces?
Oct 11, 2011
I'm trying to create a property that can be set by extending classed and read publicly.I couldn't think of a good naming convention for a protected property with a public getter, so I tried to do this:
public function get name():String{ return _name; }
protected function set name(string:String):void
{[code]......
However I get the error (when trying to set name in an extending class): 1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property name through a
reference with static type testing:TestComponent.1059: Property is read-only.
If I change the setter to public, it works fine.

I'm having trouble updating a property value of a custom class (SubLoader) using a getter and setter. Inside the if() statement of the main fla you can see my attempt to set the percent value. Running a trace() method before the if() statement always outputs '0' for some reason. Tracing after the if() statment outputs an actual value. I can't figure out why the percent property always traces as '0' before the if statement even though I am updating it with each progress event.

I seem to have run into a situation where when I push a value to an array held within a singleton via a getter/setter , Flash seem so access the getter over the setter method. Within my command/controller (I am using RobotLegs)
override public function execute():void {
// various line of code here
//Place screenshot image into an array from model for later reference.
model.unitScreenshots.push(screenShot); // screenshot is just a Bitmap object
}
The getter and setter within my model e.g. robot legs singleton
public function get unitScreenshots():Array {
return _unitScreenshots;
} public function set unitScreenshots(value:Array):void {
_unitScreenshots = value;
}
When I set a break point on both the getter and setter, only the getter method is being called, why? I would think that a push value on the array would trigger the setter, not the getter.

I recently completed a tic-tac-toe game in AS3, using some simple function-based code I had written in C many years ago.Now I'm on a quest to do it the "right way" using OOP techniques and best practices.Everything is now divided into neat little packages, it looks pretty, and the last part of my journey is to get all the little buggers to communicate with each other.I want to move the code which holds the game state from my main to it's own class in com.okaygraphics.model.GameState.The problem is nearly every other package gets and sets these game state properties.I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to encapsulate this stuff, while still allowing my other classes to access it.
1) Do I need a constructor? I mean, my program will never have more than one GameState. If I should call my getters/setters as instance methods, how do I get each other class to reference the SAME instance from their respective packages?
2) Do I even need getters and setters? Perhaps the class could just have 3 public properties? If so, how would I acheive the proper scope with regard to my other classes?
3) Should I assign everything to the class itself using the static keyword? If so, how would I implement and use those static methods?
4) Is this a mistake? Did I totally just program myself into a corner?

I have two functions one that sets and one that gets a number. The set one works, but the get one doesn't. I have it trace the set it returns the correct number, but when I set the getY function, it doesn't give me anything at all. When i took the number out of the trace it just gave me back only text. What am I doing wrong here?

I have written a class, which is basically a textfield for forms. It will eventually have several validation modes built into it too, which will be set by setting a property of the object.anyway, my problem. Basically my setters are empty if the movie is used as a loaded swf within another movie.I have an Event listener within the class listening for the Event.ACTIVATE event (still not sure exactly what this does...) though i do know that i need this in place for the setters/getters to work.If i create objects from my class, set some properties everything is spot on, though the moment i load this working movie into another movie the Event.ACTIVATE does not fire.[code]Now, if i run this movie its perfect - everything works as it should, right down to the validation.however, this movie is to be used within another movie. When i load this movie into a parent movie my fields aren't added to the movie.

I'm trying to make a class that extends the Sprite, have some private properties attached to it and be able to read and write those properties using getters and setters. Simple... but the compiler throw this error "Access of possibly undefined property speed through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite."It works if I set my class to extend the MovieClip object.Could someone explain me the logic behind this? why I can't use getter and setters with a Sprite?Here is a sample code:

Is it possible to have a property with a public getter and protected setter? I have the following code:
public class Mob extends Sprite {
// snip
private var _health:Number; // tried making this protected, didn't work
public function get health():Number { return _health; }
protected function set health(value:Number):void {
[Code]...
I did have this.health -= dmg; but I split it out to get more details on the compiler errors. I don't understand how the property would be considered read-only within the same class. I also don't understand how it's inaccessible. If I make the backing field, getter, and setter all protected, it compiles but it's not the result I want; I need health to be readable externally.

The generally used workaround for this, is to use a regular function instead of a getter/setter. This results in having to have ( ) after the function variable obviously. The question is, can a Function variable be assigned to a getter/setter function and retain its attribute of not needing brackets.
Below is some Pseudo code representing the question:
#########################################################
public class Foo(){
private var prop:Object;
public function get Prop():Object{return prop;}

I worked on a flex application 6-7 months back. We used flex 3.5 sdk. Now we are upgrading our flex app with flex sdk 4/4.1 I am still new to flex development and I have a very basic question related to namespace. I have seen three different namespaces in flex sample applications. What is the purpose of having three diff namespaces? When do I use each of them ?

I'm trying to get data from a namespaced xml file in a flex app. There is a root namespace (xmlns="blah") and another namespace (xmlns:i="blah"), and I'm able to access most tags using the following:
var ns:Namespace = doc.namespace();
var result:XMLList = doc.ns::element;
However, there are several tags that are subject to change in the application, and i'd like to not hardcode them, possibly using the elements method:
var result:XMLList = doc.elements(configuredField);
Is there a way to get elements with namespaces using the elements method, or a similar way to get XML elements in flex using a parameter?

I have seen afew answers to the problem i am having now but mine is that of a nested one.
I have an xml looking like this:
>
<em>
<type xmlns="http://www.sitcom-project.org/sitcom" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
[Code]....
now, how do i access the element of the implemented_with node?
ofc i could access the xmlList this way:
namespace ns = www.sitcom-project.org/sitcom;
type.ns::model;
but now, how do i access the implemented_with node in the model xmlList? i tried type.ns::model.implemented_with, but didn't work.

I'm writing some actionscript to provide a flash frontend to an MS Excel spreadsheet. The idea is that the user will be able to press buttons in a flash application, and that will enter data into the spreadsheet (which will be read and written as XML).
The XML of an MS Excel document looks like this:

I have this XML object, and I need to display parts of it so that the user can copy and paste from it. However, whenever I try to, say, display the category section by doing myXML.category, it puts the namespace information in the attributes of the first <category> tag when it displays the xml. Is there a way to get rid of this?

I'm trying to compile an SWC file from a list of given ActionScript classes. I'm using the compc compiler. The problem is that there are so many classes grouped into multiple namespaces that I am finding it very tedious to specify each individual class to be included in the SWC. Is there any easier way of doing this like just simply specifying a root directory of these classes? At the moment I have something like this:

1157: Interface members cannot be declared public, private, protected, or internal.
I'm just curious as to WHY? I don't understand the thinking behind this "law".
Does this perhaps mean that interface properties always need to be public when implemented in the target classes, and produces this error in order to help enforce that law?
I haven't tested if custom namespaces produce the same error. I'll delve deeper into this when I get the time.
