Actionscript 3 :: Make A Class That Uses Arguments From Another?
Aug 14, 2010
I'm really new to actionscript so I'm not even sure how to ask this. First off I'm not using any Adobe IDE just notepad with flex as a compiler. What I want to know is how to make a class but make it with arguments and then have that class use those arguments.
The only way I can clarify what I mean is through an example. So for example say I have my main class and a class called square. Now I think (and i could be wrong) I can 'make' a square class in the main class by simply saying new square(); in some function of the main class. But lets say I want this square class to have a x and y value. Would I establish this by saying new square(x,y); in the main class (where x and y are integer values)? If not how so? Also how would I get the square class to read these values? How would I go about getting the square class to draw a square with its center at the x,y given to it in the main class?

I'm building a small website. It's external class based and the ideia is to load the menus and content externally, by XML.
I'm using as base code an example from "Learning Actionscript 3.0 Book", from Rich Shupe and Zevan Rosser.
My class structure, I believe, is working well, but somehow one of the classes is not working properly.
The problem happens in line 21 and line 27. The error is the following[code]...

I have a document class called Main that is defined for my main movie. In the library of that movie there is a MovieClip called HomeBlock for which I have written a custom class called HomeBlock that defines its behavior. This HomeBlock class accepts one parameter in the constructor right now, an XMLDocument, and the Main class sends it to HomeBlock in the constructor call like this [code]...

I'm having trouble with the constructor for a custom Class tied to a library MovieClip.
Say I have a MovieClip in my library named Circle, which is tied to the class com.shapes.Circle . I want the Circle class contstructor to take 2 arguments, xScale and yScale:
public function Circle(xScale:Number, yScale:Number) { }
However, if I try to call that from in code, for example Circle ball = new Circle(3.14,2.0); , I always get an "Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0" error.
Is it possible to have a custom class tied to a MovieClip that can take arguments, or does Flash not allow this? I'd asked about this before and thought I figured it out, but from looking at it now I apparently hadn't figured it out and had resorted to a sloppy workaround; I'm hoping to fix it now.

I want to pass through configuration arguments to a class. These are all the optional vars that go into configuring the class - and should be able to run in any order.
at the moment i just pass through the optional vars the regular way. Supposing the constuctor was like the following:
private var _reqVar:String;
private var _optVar1:String;
private var _optVar2:String;
[Code].....
assigning the argument to the var of the same key (i know in php to reference a variable name from a key you can use $$key = $value, is there an equivalent in as3?) display an error (using the 'throw' method) for variable names not supported by the class

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.)

There are two files in my actionscript project named "TestAPP", TestAPP.as and Draggable.as
TestAPP.as:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;[code].....
In "my actionscript theory", I'm supposed to see a circle that follows the mouse when I click it. (The draggable is not fully implemented) But the circle doesn't even budge .how to access the main class's stage property. I've googled for it, but still no progress.

I want to know how to make class instances into listeners and broadcasters, from inside each class. Here is what I am trying specifically... part of the Proj class... (projectiles, as a matter of fact)
Code:
private function listen():Void {
u.register(this);
onUpdate = function(){
step(); // a function I have which makes the projectile move (not shown)
}
}
where "u" is another class, the Updater class with this code...
Code:
class Updater {
// const. --- make this a broadcaster
public function Updater(){
[code]....
PS: What is the syntax for using AS2 code tags instead of just "[CODE|"?

I have built a basic preloader that runs in my document class. I'm having trouble with it.I'm guessing its due to what a class can and can not access from the stage?theres 2 problems. the first is that I cant change the keyframe the stage is on from the class. the second is im getting an error 1009 if I comment that out.

import flash.display.MovieClip

I'm having a problem where I can't make an instance of a class in one class like I can in other classes all in the same package. When I call the update function from another class it doesn't work. I traced the xPos of the instance of the class I was talking about and I get zero, but that is incorrect so I'm thinking it's the above problem. If anyone knows what the problem is please tell. Here's my code:

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 this piece of script, where I want to do a hittest when both the x AND y are not the same (and some other variables) now, that wouldnt be so hard, you think: if (MovieclipA.x!=MovieclipB.x && MovieClipA.y!=MovieclipB.y) but! if i now have a MovieclipC, which is on the same y coordinate as A, but not on the same x coordinate, the hittest wont execute..., as the y coordinates match...
it probably is really simple, but how can i solve this problem?

if there's a way to use the 'arguments' object (to get info about a function like: 'arguments.length' etc) outside the function definition code and if yes, so how to that.

basically what I'm trying to do to make this class to use it later simply by passing in the parameters of the init() method but it is not working. so where did I go wrong about this?

I am creating a custom Flash component with AS3. My component's main class imports a class with a static variable. How can I make this class accessible by the user of my component from a flash-level? This is the example:
my component's main class:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import MyStaticClass;
[Code]....
The thing is I don't want to provide the user with the MyStaticClass source. I would like it to be automatically imported and accessible after dragging the component to the stage.

Again, everything was fine up until I added those two at for case 0 and case 1.

I'm designing a game that uses this function;
function moveBars(Bl:Number,Gr:Number,Or:Number,Ye:Number)
{
blueBar_mc.scaleX += Bl;
greenBar_mc.scaleX += Gr;
orangeBar_mc.scaleX += Or;
yellowBar_mc.scaleX += Ye;
}
When moveBars is called, the length of the 4 colored bars change to indicate how the player is doing in different areas of the game, like so; moveBars(.1,-.2,.3,-.1)
My problem; I need to store the moveBars parameter arguments in XML like so;
<myArgs> .1,-.2,.3,-.1 </myArgs>
But I can't find the way to get those 4 numbers into the moveBars parameters from the XML doc. Is there a way to do this?
