Actionscript 3 :: Import Class Globally In Flash CS5?
Dec 11, 2011
I have a project in ActionScript 3, Flash Professional CS5.5, and AIR 3. I have several custom classes that I need to access. Currently, I am successfully accessing via the traditional method:
import trailcrest.core.core;
var Core:core = new core();
However, I came to a realization in my code...this creates a COPY of the class, and doesn't give access to the original. This, of course is a problem - I need one symbol's scripts to modify a variable in the class, and another symbol's scripts access that changed variable. Obviously, right now, that is not occurring.How do I do what I am describing? Should I somehow create a "public var" for the class (though I need instructions on how to do that...I can't use "public var" within stages or symbols)? Is there some way to directly access the class?
[URL].. lines a lot in our files to set up AS Tweens. Is there a way to import these globally on one frame of ActionScript instead of having to put it in AS for every time an MC is being tweened?
I created a custom class (no arguments needed for constructor) and I wanted to create an instance of that class that can be accessed by AS from aywhere inside the SWF (i.e. globally from any function or class).So far the only way I can think of doing that is to create the custom class with an associated MovieClip Symbol, drag an instance of that MovieClip Symbol to the stage, and then give it an instance name. It seems like I can then use the instance name to access that class instance anywhere.
I`m using flash cs3 for my works , but i have one problem!when i use File=> Import=> Import to Library... or Import to Stage...the flash environment becomes terminated.I changed my flash version to CS4 and I have this problem again.
I created two custom class called fooClass.as and HelloClass.as Then I want to import both of these Custom Classes in my WorkSpace.fla file
so I do the following I open up my WorkSpace.fla file Press F9 to open up the actionScript panel in FrameOne LayerOne and I type in
import fooClass import HelloClass
then I want to start using these two classes so I do the following
var work:fooClass = new fooClass(); var space:HelloClass = new HelloClass();
Technically speaking when I type in var work: I should see list of classes inside the library including my custom Class fooClass and HelloClass However after the colon I see other build in classes but not fooClass.
It works in CS5 but not CS4. How do I get to work it in CS4 so that I can use the custom class I created to show up in the library.
Originally my classes(.as) and project (.fla) were stored in the same directory. But I would like to refactor them. I've created a subdirectory "classes", and moved my classes into this subdirectory but I've got error.
All my classes are stored in one package.
How can I "include" or "import" my classes from a subdirectory of my project?
I have been trying to convert [URL] into as3. I am am very unfamiliar with flex. I have set the buttons for transform and loading the image but its just not working at all.
Here is the image distortion class Code: package { import flash.display.Shape; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Bitmap; [Code] .....
I have 2 flash files, one with an intro and the second that just has a document class file that plays out a snake game. How could i import that document flash file and make it play out on like frame 100 off my other flash file.
I need to call the class into to my control as file. The problem I'm getting now is this error. "environmentTab.lightsButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectLights);" environmentTab is a instance name of a movie clip that is on the stage of my .
I have a problem with classes. What I am trying to do is this: I create a main class and then i import another class into it.then I create an instance of the new class and add it to the stage.the problem occurs when im trying to use the new classes methods.
import classes.NewClass; var test:NewClass = new NewClass(); addChild(test);[code].....
I'm just getting into AS3 after being an AS1 and AS2 coder for a long time (but not OOP) and one thing is boggling my mind about AS3: How do you KNOW what you need to "import" ?Here's an example... I have a working AS3 demo of something, and I found a script that's supposed to add in a mouse event, but the author forgot the "import" part.
So I copy and paste this script in. I click the "check syntax" button and everything checks out, but upon compiling, it reports "1120: Access of undefined property onMouseDown.", along with a bunch of other warnings.So I figure it's because I haven't imported the classes for that, so I highlight the word "onMouseDown", right-click and choose Help. Nothing. No page for that found. I search for it in Help by typing it in and searching the AS3 book. I get the page for "SpriteArranger" as the only result.onMouseDown is mentioned mid way down this long page, but no mention of that class it needs.
PHP Code:
onMouseDown = function(){ var param = Object(); param.IRThreshold = Object();
I'm trying to import a class that resides in a package into another controller package. I'm using "import className;" and when I test the movie I don't get any errors but the function and listeners defined in the imported class doesn't do anything. The swf plays and works fine expect for the portion controlled by the class I'm importing. If I mis-name the import name Flash throws an error, so I know that it recognizes the import class name. It just does't do anything with it.
i am using FlashDevelop and have created a project called NavBar.I have created a few folders,1 of which is called app which contains another called gui but within this has a document class called NavigationBar.as.Now,i've created a Main.as file which resides undeaneath the src folder and what i am trying to do is import the NavigationBar.as in my Main.as file. However, every time i type app and do the'.'and press enter i get,flash. system.ApplicationDomain.,how can i make AS aware of my class file, Navigati onBar.as in app > gui > NavigationBar.as and any document class file for that matter?
1 other thing is that in my Navigationbar.as file i did the following.. package app.gui { // rest of code skipt }
but when i build it i get the following error: C:UsersvistaDocumentsFlashDevelopProjectsNavB arappguiNavigationBar.as: Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'app.gui'.how can i also sort this out?
if I created a customized class and I saved it as a "*.as" file, and now, I want to create a new "*.FLA" project and to use inside the "FLA" project at my customized class. how do I import my class into this project?

I am wondering if anyone has experience using the flash Serializer class I really want to be able to receive an array from PHP into flash 8 though I am having problems.[code]...
Am new to classes and as3, just starting to ge the hang of it, but i not fully, so here is some Q's.Fist of i have a Document class, from it i want to call a function in a separate as file. the only way i know of is to, do an import and then instantiate or go static on it's tookus?
But now i got my hands of some pice of code, that uses separate class files without any trace of import, how do they do this?Also if i want to be able to use all the functions from a separate as file in my document class, just like i do if i extends it, but without extending int, how do we do this? do i always need to go ClassName.function() ? or can we do it like in C++
I'm just wondering about the difference between using an external .as file as a Document Class vs importing it via some timeline code like:
Code: import Pixoid; var pixMC:Sprite = new Pixoid(); pixMC.x = 0[code]...
one thing I have noticed is that altho the above timeline code works certain objects return the "null object" error.for example if in my Pixoid.as file I have any references to the 'stage' object ex:
Code: pxRow = stage.stageWidth / 10;
it returns
Code:"Error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."so, is there any advantage to using the import strategy vs the Document Class one? should I not worry about it and continue on my happy way with the Document Class?I first ran into this problem with Flex and had to do some kludges to get around it - defining UIContainer object etc - but now that I have found it to also exist in Flash.
If I import class X with method Y, what happens? Is every method and field included in the class? Or is it that when I type y() I'm actually referring to x.y()?
I am trying to import a custom class. It is a class I found on the Internet for rotating objectson the stage.The class file is called ApplicationMain.as.I'm simply trying to import the class so it will function with the movie.I have the ApplicationMain.as file saved in the same directory as my .FLA file.
When I do that there are no errors but the class does not call the needed functions and the objects on the stage cannot be rotated.I attached a trace and the trace comes through but the functions don't run.
import ApplicationMain trace ('it was imported')
Am I missing something? Isn't the path simply the file name as long as it is saved in the same directory as the .FLA?
