Actionscript 3 :: Getting The Value Of A Property Within Another Property Via Square Bracket Notation
Nov 29, 2011
I have a class Inhabitant with a property skin which is of type DisplayObject.
Within Inhabitant I need to access the x and y properties of skin using this method:
this["someProperty"];
Rather than:
this.someProperty;
This is fine with properties defined within Inhabitant but I'm not sure how I could do this for a property of skin. This obviously doesn't work but it might give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
this["skin.x"];
The reason behind requiring this notation is that I have a function which I can parse a String though that will represent a property:
public function addTokenable(property:String):void
{
if(!isTokenable(property))
_tokenables[property] = true;
}
And then a related getter that will return a representation of this instance of Inhabitant as a String:
public function get token():String
{
_token = "class:" + getQualifiedClassName(this).split("::").join(".");
Attempting to move from AS2 to AS3 and become OOPed! I've come to a sudden halt over the last few days with some basics.I will use a simply example to describe my query.3 movieclips, a square, circle and oval, drawn in Flash, dragged to the stage and given instance names of square, circle and oval! The square and circle sit on the main timeline, the oval movieclip sits within the circle movieclip. How can I alter the .alpha property of the square from within the oval?Each movieclip has its own class .as file (and linked to the instance on stage) but I have not been able to generate a path in the ovals AS3 class script to access outside it and up to the square on the main timeline to change the squares .alpha property.
i want to change a colors tint and store that color for later use to apply to dynamically created sprites, for some reason the code changes my place graphic as expect but when i draw a square using the Colortransform.color property the color always in gray scale?
How to assign to variable "w" values from the square bracket that are separated by comas to be assigned either one of them and not only the last value "hd". In this case whichever value is pressed makes myClip visibility true.
Setting the text property of a flex DateField makes the selectedDate property of that DateField go to null.I need to set the text property so that I can use a particular format (DD-MMM-YYYY).
Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?
What's the difference between selectedChild property and selectedIndex property? I read the documentation, both seems to be setting currect active accordion. selectedChild can be only used in actionscript, but other than this, what's the difference?
Can we put [Bindable] on functions/methods? I know that bindable is used to change the value of the source property to destination property. But not sure if we can use that for methods. why we cannot put/ if we can then what will be the outcome?
I'm wondering if there is a way I can bind a flex property to flash property?, the flash property is inside a swc file created in flash with the Flex Component Kit for Flash Professional, I can manipulate the flash component as a regular flex component, but I want to bind their properties, is there a way?
I can only explain this by an example; so:I have 2 classes and one of them includes the other as a getter/setter property.I need the following code to return the same result:second.first.X = 1; //but it does not. ( ExpectedMethod() is NOT fired. )
I have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....
My code is not working.. I want command_quiz (5, whatever number is chosen) to operate. The javascript is working fine with textinput for page numbers.
1) I created a MovieClip with some graphics representing a simple tab menu item
2) I created a class "Tab.as" which extends MovieClip and linked to the MovieClip from step 1
3) I used Component Definitions in the library to add a String property linked to the variable "icon": Label = "Icon", Variable = "icon", Value = "", Type = "String"
4) In my Tab.as class I put an [Inspectable] get/set property, icon: [Inspectable] public function get icon():String{ ... } public function set icon(val){ ... }
I get the following compile errors for both get and set functions: 1023: Incompatible override. 1021: Duplicate function definition. Why?
i am working in Air application in Flex3 , i need know how to set "selectedItem" Property when we have 2 values like(data and label) label property to combobox selection, data value for our input.In (selectedItem="{stylename}") stylename will have "data" value but i need to set that "lable" property as selected value in combobox.Like if stylename is "checked" then the ComboBox selected item need to be "Checked".How to implement this in flex.
I have an Application with modules. Every Module lives for itself. There are no shared events or something between them.In my modules there is a datagrid and with a contextmen¼, the details of selected data opens in a popup window.The modules are controlled by an loalEventMap and a presentationModel as usual.If i closed the popup immediantly and open it again, all works fine, but if i change some data in the popup, close it unload my module and loade the module again, open the popup again, mate throw the following error[code]....
This seems like it should be an easy one but I can't figure it out.I'm trying out a very simple class that, when created, loads and XML file into the class's property. I must be getting a basic concept tangled up here because I can see the XML coming in just fine in the handleComplete function, but the class property _result remains empty.What concept am I missing here?
I need to specify more than one condition for visibiltyvisible="{data.allow && data.open}"However, this gives the error "The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference."I could use a function, but I'd like to know if it is possible to do this directly with different syntax.
I am doing a project in AS3. It is a simple "slot machine." When the handle is clicked there are three MovieClips that play starting at random frames and when clicked again they stop on a random frame.
Now, the part I'm having trouble with: I need AS to evaluate the three frames (using currentLabel) and if they match launch a function called playWin. If they don't match then nothing will happen.
I tried a standard "if" statement but the currentLabel property is tripping me up. I also don't know how to compare three statements. I've only had practice comparing two.
I know there are a number of posts dealing with this issue. But, I'm still not understanding it.I keep getting a "1120: Access of undefined property CSSloader." in the following script:
url...I want this code to be able to remove af or bf if its touching ground. But I can't do that because "cant define property of bf" and af. And I need to have it outside the other functions because I will have alot of code otherwise.[code]
I'm programming in Flex Builder Burrito for an mobile application.I'm trying to get a variable from navigator.PopView()and i found the following site: adobe View and ViewNavigator On that page is written that you can get to an returnedObject:
The ViewNavigator will save this object internally, and the new view can access it from with the navigator.returnedObject property. The problem is when I want to acces the returnedObject flash builder doesn't seem to find that even the package isn't found.
I want to accomplish simply that MC 'Menue' follows MC 'SliderLeftVert_Panel'. I don't get it.I get this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at SliderSlide/Move()
The MC 'SliderLeftVert_Panel' is linked to Class 'SliderSlide.as' below
