Actionscript 3 :: Storing Array Of Custom Classes In A Locally Shared Object (LSO)
Sep 22, 2011
I am having problems storing an array of objects, all of which are the same custom class in an LSO and then reloading that array from the LSO without losing the class type of the objects in the list.
I know how to store a single object of a custom class and load it withe the correct class type using the registerClassAlias() function, but I cannot seem to apply this to arrays of objects.
I am trying to save an array called messageList. Each element is a custom class GameMessage with a property called gameLevel. After I load the LSO I am trying to do something like
trace("0th message is from level " + GameMessage(messageList[0]).gameLevel);
And I am getting an exception of like this:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@90fdfa1 to GameMessage.
I have registered the GameMessage class using
registerClassAlias("GameMessage", GameMessage);
and everything works if rather than a list of messages I try and save/load a single message.
Is it possible to store instances of a class in a cookie or in shared objects.
Basically in my application I have an object "Diagram" that the user can create. If they hit save, I want to store the current instance as a cookie and allows them to reload it later.
Alternatively, I could see about getting them to store the saved version on the hard disk. But even then, all I want to save and retreive is my actionscript object.
I've tried storing the object to SharedObject.data.diag, but when I try to retrieve the object from the cookie doing SharedObject.data.diag as Diag returns null.
I'm having trouble storing a dataprovider in a shared object. Writing the dataprovider object to my local shared object seems to work fine, but when I try to read this out of the shared object, it appears to have been transformed into a generic object. When I try to assign a local dataprovider variable to the dataprovider I've read out of the shared object, I get the following error:
"cannot convert Object@3721e6c9 to fl.data.DataProvider"
I am doing an AS3 application. In the beginning of my AS file, I need to embed different textures as the following: Code: [Embed (source = "./myImage1")] public var Image1:Class;
I have to embeed n bitmaps. Then I have to create an instance of each oh thease classes. I want to store the names of thease classes in an array so I will be able to create an instance of a class by accessing the array.
Something like this: Code: var arrayOfClasses : Array = new Array(); arrayOfClasses.push(Image1); arrayOfClasses.push(Image2); ...
Then I want to go through the array and do : Code: var variable : Object = new arrayOfClasses[0]; But this dosen't work! How Can I build an array of classes? Is it doable?
I am programming a web based application with Actionscript 2.0 classes for flash 8, and I want to save user data using the local shared object.As the data is potentially rather complex I would prefer to store it in an instance of a custom class that I then stick in an array property of the local shared object data property.However, when I try to do this, if I retrieve the stored object it seems to have lost all its instance methods. If I do a for in on it, I can see the private properties to which I have assigned my data, but as they are private I cannot retrieve them.how I can store an instance of a custom class in a local shared object without it being corrupted in this way?
I am making app that works as stand alone, do some calculations and sting formating. Also it need to save data localy, and be able to reload it when needed. I have read that Shared Objects do that but also have limitation. For example the data can be deleted without user doing it. I need the data to somehow persistend and been able to delete only by the user of the app. As extra exporting data for other user will be usefull, but is not requared.
I am running a chat program which displays a list of users along with their status (online or offline). I wish to remove the list and display their status in their respective biographies, which are separate swfs. The usernames and status are stored in a remote shared object as an array.My question is, what is the most efficent way of extracting an individual user's current status from the SO array?[code]
Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.hen I try to:ar countries:Country = new Country(10);ormally this would work in Java or C++, so I'm not sure what's up!?Here is my custom class.
package { public class Country { var cName:String = "noName";
I've created a base class to house some basic functions I'd like to have across several movie clips in a game I'm making, however, when I link a custom class to the same movie clip I get the message; "The base class will not be used because the class specified is already defined and extends its own subclass. If you wish to use the base class, specify a class name in the Class field that will be auto-generated or enter the default base class 'flash.display.MovieClip' in the Base Class field." I removed the 'extends MovieClip' inside the Class but it still shows the message. Does this mean that I cannot use a custom class and a custom base class on a movie clip?
how can I push an object from my document class array to an array in my custom class?I have an instance of my custom class in my document class called "Pool".The array in my custom class is called "STOREDBALLS"The array in my document class is called "ballArray"How do I get the object from "ballArray" into "STOREDBALLS"I tried using "Pool.STOREDBALLS.push(ballArray[0])" but it didn't work.
How do Static classes work in projects where child swf's use the same Static class as their parent?
For simplicity... lets say we have some older content swf files that are using TweenLite version 8 ( a common enough Static class.) But the parent SWF is being updated and uses a more recent version of TweenLite (version 10). The child SWF's are loaded into the parent SWF. Do the child SWF exist in there own sandbox and have TweenLite version 8 running and the Parent runs it's own copy of TweenLite 10? Or does the parents clips Static class of TweenLite (version 10) overwrite the children Static class using some sort of magical shared memory space when JIT (runtime) compiling?
working a project that has 9 swf.a lot of the swf are using the same classes like papervison and tweenlite.is there a way to store classes like papervison in a share library?
I have created a few Event and Command classes for use in my Cairngorm projects.For example, I created an class that extends URL... that allows me to set callback functions upon completion or failure of the corresponding Command. To accomplish this, I also had to create a new Class that implements com.adobe.cairngorm.commands.ICommand that I extend for all Commands in my projects.Now, I want to use these two classes across all of my Cairngorm applications. What is the best way to do this? Should I just edit the Cairngorm source for CairngormEvent and ICommandand recompile the Cairngorm MVC (is that even possible)? Or add my two classes to the Cairngorm source and recompile the Cairngorm MVC? Or should I just add them to a shared library?I've chose the third option for now, but this requires that I reference the Cairngorm library in both my library and each project. I am wondering if there is a better practice and what the benefits are.
I'm currently developing a game in flash and want to be able to divide up my .fla assets in a way that means artists can work on a game menu .fla in isolation from the game.fla and rest of the game code.If I could briefly explain how I've approached this so far, I would be extremelyMy project is setup like this:HighScoreMenu.fla -> document class HighScoreMenu extending GameMenu class.game.fla ->document class game.asgame.as class loads the published HighScoreMenu.swf and manipulates the menu i.e. animates on and off screen via inherited functions in the GameMenu class.
Now this seemed to work to begin with, until my code evolved and upon going to publish my HighScoreMenu.fla flash started complaining about symbols being used in Game.as that were in Game.fla... If I'm only publishing the HighScoreMenu which extends from GameMenu then why is it even looking to compile Game.as
I have 15 sets of x and y values, that should be stored together. I was thinking I could have an array, holding 15 other arrays, each holding the x and y value? Is that a valid way to do this? Also, is there a way to create those arrays holding the x and y, dynamically, so they just get numbered?
MainArray[ subArray[x1, y1]; subArray[x2, y2];
[Code]...
Obviously, above is not correct AS. Is this even a way to do this? Are there other much better ways?
I have randomly generated 6 numbers, I need to know how I can store these in an array, and from this array the numbers will be compared with 6 number of another array to see how many balls are matching!
I have a few items on the stage with different types of item.
cube_0 ++ square_0 ++ triangle_0 ++ and so forth
I have this scroll bar to rotate each item. When a user click outside of it, it will close down(removeMovieClip) I want to store the last x and y coordinates of [let's say] cube_0 's scroll bar.. so that when a user re-opens the scrollbar, it will be at the last coordinate when they close it.
i am trying to create a menu which is 100% on the fly. the menu item names are stored in a multidimensional array with attatched sub menu items/names. i am trying to create a mc and a txt field for each item in the top menu. i am trying to also store the newly created mc's and txt fields in an array or their own so i can manage the menu motions/tweens better.however, i get several errors, why wont this work?
I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
I'm trying to setup a program that loads a set number of pictures (the exact number is stored in resources/data.txt). Pictures are labled picture# starting at 0 and increasing.
My problem is that I want to store the loaded pictures, which is giving me trouble. When I try to trace the bitArray length, it says it is zero..
My Code:
//Variable Initilizing //Loaders: var mLoader:URLLoader;[code]....
I've got this code ActionScript Code: package uk.ac.uwe.multimedia.lottery{ /* There are 3 new MCs 1. The instructions "Click here..." 2. An MC with the 2 text fields myText 3. An MC with the 6 input text fields */ import flash.display.*; [Code] .....
Everything works fine until I click on the 'submitButton'. When I click on it nothing at all happens, even though what I want to happen is for the error messages to appear if there is a problem, or if there isn't a problem I want the numbers to be added to the array.
I have just started actionscript after a long break, I am creating a crossword and each box is an 'Input Text' field. Since there are a lot of text fields, I do not want to have to create variables for each text box,I wanted to do something like this:
ActionScript Code: var inputs:Array = new Array( "_1a", "_1b", "_1c" .. ); for( var i:int = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) {
I am having trouble storing bitmap images into an array. The following code snippet creates an array called "imageArr" and its intention is to store all the bitmap images in it. The images are captured from the user's webcam and should then be stored in the array. However, when I display the images it can only display the last image taken.
ActionScript Code: var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width,video.height); var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData); var imageArr:Array = new Array();
