In a class I want to retrieve the package + class name of the current class as a String.
For example, within a class named Inhabitant within package terra.environment I might want to go[url]...
Is this possible, or is this stuff all abolished/irrelevant after compilation?
Is there benefit to specifying which class, function or namespace you intend to use at the beginning of the code?
View 3 Replieshow to package entire project. I mean to say that i have large project and i want to manage all files. I have main fla file, some xml files. some .as files. right now all this in one folder. i mean to say how to say path to the main file.
View 0 RepliesWhen I create anything in a library, it's basically a class right? Meaning I can do essentially the same thing with use of a package in an AS file? In AS 2.0 this would probably mean I can add specific functions on this class as I can do when I use flash's object interface and add script to the specific class object itself. However, in AS 3.0 you cannot attribute code directly to an object right?
This leads me to my second question. I basically want to create a flash mp3 player (I've coded this already), but make it so that it is an entire package of contents, so I can add it to my website when a mouse event is detected and then take it off the website once it's no longer needed (to conserve memory and assure an overall nice experience). The problem is that I have many objects and subsequent functions (play button, pause button, etc), and want all of this to be contained in one file. Is this even possible?
Basically I'm trying to output the contents of an XML document into a dynamic text field (as loaded - not just its node values and content - the entire thing - into a variable called _root.log). The text field is set to show the variable value of _root.log.This is the actionscript...

I'm making a banner, where I will retrieve the text in from a string.
I have this code:
var TEXT:String = "Text here";
How can I display the text in a dynamic text field in another movieclip?
this seems like it should be simple but for some reason i can't figure out how to get the value of a variable out of a URL query string. if this is in my location bar: [URL] and i just want the value of "chosenCLIP" to use in my loaded SWF file, how do i do it in AS3?
View 8 RepliesIm trying to find some way (in actionscript 3) to output info for the current package at runtime.
Given the following code snippet;

I'd want the tracePackage method to trace out the string "com.foo.thing.Tester".
So basically i have my root folder with my fla and my document class in it, then I have a folder called 'main' with another class in it (Control)

I am getting a very strange error:
error I get when trying to execute static function createDeadShip in Deadship:
Quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

This is truly the strangest error i've ever seen.
Or do you have to add them to every instance?
View 5 RepliesI wanted to design a [relatively] all purpose class to load images and SWF's with a preloader MC and error handler. I made this BUT, when I load the MC I cannot control it. i.e. I load an SWF containing an animated GIF, but I cannot say mc.gotoAndStop();

I wrote a class that performs an asynchronous loop. It needs a package name. I already have a util package, but feel resistant to put half of my classes in that package. If it really belongs there, I'll put it there, but I'd feel much better if I can find a more appropriate/specific package.

Let say I have 3 objects of the MoveObject class. There is 1 symbol in the library linked to the MoveObject class. I dragged the symbol to the stage 3 times. Great.
If I type trace(this.x) in the class files it gives me the x value of all 3 objects.
My question is, how do I go through those x values one at a time?
I saw a post that touched on this, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own for explicit verification. It seemed that some of the resident geniuses here had given the thumbs-up to passing your whole doc or app class to a function. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as this sounds convenient but I assumed it would cause heart attacks and CPU meltdowns.
EXAMPLE: Say I have an app class that controls my entire game (or slideshow), and it has an ENTER_FRAME scrolling function that's 50 lines long with tons of conditionals so I want to take it out and make it an external file. I pop it into a new .as file but now all my variables are out of scope. I could pass them each individually, but there are so many it's impractical. So my question is: good or bad practice to pass the entire class?

I have a photo gallery, with a thumbnail panel (a photo viewer page) that I made, coding the AS3 from the key frame. It just so happens that I saw some class files online that have some good stuff in the tutorial.I've never really worked with .as files and I am intimidated by them.Would it be easier to modify my photo gallery, with a thumbnail panel, from key frame to .as AS3 code or to go from .as to key frame code? I personally feel more comfortable with key frame AS3, but I am not scared to dabble.How can I practice adding a couple of class files to my key frame AS3 code- I'm using regular variables, but the interesting idea I saw uses private variables and public functions, and it imports some stuff?
