Actionscript 3 :: Setting Default Values For Object Properties?
Dec 28, 2010
how to set default property values for objects that are being created in a loop.
In the example below, these propeties are the same for each object created in the loop: titleTextField.selectable, titleTextField.wordWrap, titleTextField.x
If you pull these properties out of the loop, they are null because the TextField objects have not been created, but it seems silly to have to set them each time.
var titleTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
titleTextFormat.size = 10;
titleTextFormat.font = "Arial";

i'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

I have a Flash Form that is fairly long (about 8 short pages), so I have set the form up so that it can be reviewed when the filler-outer is done and they are ready to submit it. I'm using a Shared Object to store the information they enter so they won't lose their information if they hit refresh or need to come back later.
If they go back to the page with comboboxes on it, the comboboxes have reset to the default. The answer and data in the SO haven't changed, but it looks like it to the consumer/viewer.
So, I'd like for the boxes to display the choice they picked when they were on that page. I need use the value from the database to show the particular value in the ComboBox whenever the user returns to that page.

As far as I know, a pixel is a pixel. You can hardly move a DisplayObject half a pixel, can you? Still the x and y properties of a DisplayObject allow values with two decimals.
A small test..
PHP Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
function enterFrameHandler(e:Event):void {
myDisplayObject.y = Number(myInputBox.text);
trace(myDisplayObject.y);
}
Shows that this happens in steps of five (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, etc.).
Values like for example 0.16 get converted to 0.15.
Also, the object moves 1 pixel as soon as it's x/y value is .2
You would expect the x and y properties to convert the given numbers to integers, no?

There is the way to reproduce my problem : Create a clip and associate it with a class. In this class define an inspectable propertie with a default value. Convert the clip to a component using component definition dialog box (just associate the right class and click ok). Now if you drag the clip on the scene, the inspectable propertie should be available in the component inspector with its default value. Convert the clip in the library to a compiled clip and move it to a new fla document library to avoid the identical-link-identifier warning. Drag the compiled clip on the scene and you should have access to the inspectable propertie via the component inspector with its default value.
This where is my problem : If you specify a value equals to the default value specified in the class (which is the default value specified in the component inspector by the way), you'll notice (by adding a trace in the propertie's setter for example) that not a single line of code is processed in the setter. Specify a different value and it will be ok. I'm using Flash CS4 if it can be useful.

I can do this for normal fields like Phone and LastName, but ti does not work for lookup fields like ReportsTo and Account.
This is th code I am using:-
var acc:DynamicEntity = new itemClass("Contact");
acc.Phone="8888";
acc.LastName="Nieddu Srl"
acc.ReportsTo ="0012000000RsJYb"
acc.Account="test"
_createFieldContainer.render(acc)
Is there any way to populate a lookup field with a default value when the field container is called?

I've got a comboBox with defined data and label fields. On Event.CHANGE I capture the data field. I need the comboBox to default back to the user selection if they should navigate to another screen and then come back. Normally I've got an array of labels that I can use to just lookup the index: comboBox.selectedIndex = labelArray.indexOf(user selection); In this case I don't have labelArray. What I really want to do is something like this (only with real AS, not fake):
comboBox.selectedData = storedDataString or, if the data array is accessible: comboBox.selectedIndex = comboBox.data.indexOf(user selection); Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just suck it up and add yet another global label array?

Mac OSX 10.4.11 - CS4. I have a supplied video.flv that I have in Flash with a skin control and exported as video.swf and inserted into a GoLive site, all is well apart from the excessive sound. The volume controller is defaulted to max and I would like to reduce the default volume by about 50%. Is this possible to do in Flash before exporting the video.swf.

How do you set the default value of skinClass for a custom component in Flex? I've extended the DropDownList with my custom component, but I would like to specify a default skin to go with it instead of always setting the skinClass value for each instance.

I have a movieclip with the instance name of "container_mc" that I am loading a external swf file into.When I trace(container_mc._width) after the preload it returns 0.Is there any way to tell the movieclip to stay at a width of 760px and a height of 460px regardless of the content that is loaded?Reason being, I then have a function that positions the container_mc movieclip in the center of the stage based on the Stage.width/height..The only way I have been able to get this to work thus far is to have a 760px by 460px square shape, position the movieclip.. then load the content to replace the square shape however I'd rather be able to default everything without having to do that.

i have a text input box in which i want to insert Hebrew (RTL language) text. now, the RTL support i need is basic, and thats easy enough to do. however, for entering hebrew in the box, the user has to set hebrew in his windows language bar. is there a way of making the default input language in the box hebrew, regardless of what is currently set in the language bar? note - the hebrew characters are showing just fine, its just that to enter them you have to make sure the language bar is set to hebrew as well.

I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

I've run into an extremely odd problem. I'll give a code example to start. This is the superclass Building.
Code:
public var allowsEnemyMovement:Boolean = true;
public var information:String = "";
public var buildingName:String ="";
[Code]...
Now here's the odd part. Only SOME of the variables defined in the superclass do this. the variable information, buildingName and health all will take the default value from the super class. But the variable defenseValue will take its value from Factory's constructor. What am I doing wrong here? I would like to keep default values in the superclass so that I don't end up with null pointer errors later just in case.

I'm completely new to this forum, and would like to ask your help for one issue. I am working on an interactive flash map, I was able to set all the countries borders with the help of fireworks (awesome tool), and import them back to flash and set each country as a button. I would like to set all of the buttons to have the same properties for example : All the buttons have default red color, and will have a mouse hover frame that will change the color of the button to blue. I DO NOT want to set each button manually, because I would like to have the choice to change the mouse hover color to a different one, and would like to avoid passing each button and changing each one's mouse hover frame.
Is there a way I can built a template of a frame, and for each button set its mouse hover frame as the template frame I built ? And then if I make any changes to the template frame, all of my buttons would be automatically updated ?

I want to open a new internet window using actionscript on a button but I also want to control the characteristics of that window when it opens:
1. I want it to be a specific size - 180 x 200
2. I want all the standard page elements removed - the scrollbar, browser tools etc - so there is just a box to close it.
3. I want it to be centered on the screen
Can I get this much detail with actionscript regarding the new window when I open it?

I just got my MacBook and am trying out the Flash BUilder on said platform. I've installed Firefox and Google Chrome on my MacBook but I can't seem to find a way to set which browser would launch my Flex apps whenever I hit the Run button inside Flash Builder. As far as I know, I can locate the Browser property on the Project Properties on my Windows copy of Flash Builder but I couldn't over here at my Mac. Any thoughts?
