ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Variables Outside Of Instance?
Jul 23, 2009So in AS2.0 I would use _global.variableName to create and refer to a variable that was maybe created on the stage and then needed to be referenced to inside of an instance. That doesn't seem to work anymore. Are you expected to not want to do that, or is the code just changed now?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Use Local Instance Variables Vs Attach New Properties To The Instance Object?
Mar 14, 2006I am wrapping my brain around OOP in AS2. I am making two posts on two different subjects. My question here is: when should I use local instance variables, and when should I attach new properties to the instance object? (Feel free to correct my terminology.) Let's say I have a class for a scrolling background, which scrolls when I mouse over its edge. I want to put these values somewhere:
1) How wide is the border in which a mouseOver makes it scroll? This is basically a semi-constant I set it up once and keep it the same, unless the user changes it in an options menu to make the border wider or narrower. Call this scrollBorderWidth.
2) How fast is the background scrolling now? I want to track this so I can smoothly change the scroll speed over several frames. This is often changed. Call this scrollSpeed.
It seems I have two ways I can store and access these values and darned if I know which is better practice. METHOD A: Make them local variables in the class, so the scrolling background instance has them as local vars. I set them up thusly:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting New Style On A Combobox Instance
Jul 20, 2010I am setting new style on a combobox instance. Following is the code.
myCombobox.textField.setStyle("textFormat", myStyle);myCombobox.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myStyle); where myCombobox is the combobox instance and myStyle is textFormat object. but when i disable the component. i.e, myCombobox.enabled = false; The combobox textField loses its style and resets to its defualt style, though the dropdown style remains( myStyle ). What is the reasons for this behaviour. How can i change the style for the disabled state of the component.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Values Held By A Class Instance From Another Class Instance?
Oct 14, 2009I have to admit I pretty much ran away from Flash when AS2 came along and only used it for animation purposes over the last 5 years.So I'm having a major crash course in AS3 in Flash CS3 and I'm not enjoying it one bit. I'm getting maybe 10mins of finished work per hour as I try to figure out the limits and rules of AS3. Quite often it seems that AS3 simply can't do what I want it to. Anyway: Characterchecks.as is the main class and it loads a bunch of XML into four arrays. The file starts like this:[code]If I trace the value of, say, cc._Categories from the main FLA, it's empty. I'm guessing that the next line of AS in the main FLA doesn't wait for the previously called function to complete? (This may tie in to my next problem)My next step is that I want to display various things based on the data in the array. I have another class, Display.as which will hold all the functions to create the items on display. I thought it would be best for these to be a separate object. I wonder if I'm right?
So I declare an instance of Characterchecks in the main FLA and call it cc, and then run the functions to populate the arrays... Now I create an instance of Display and call it cd. How can I get functions in cd to see the values of the variables in cc? And if the main timeline can't tell that the functions aren't finished filling the arrays, how is cd supposed to know?I might be asking dumb questions, or maybe I'm doing things ***-backwards, I don't know. I'd appreciate any help, I really would. This whole thing has me at the end of my tether... being the most technically advanced person in my circle of co-workers and web design friends means I have no-one to explain why things need to be done a certain way or what the best way is.

View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Closure To Make TweenLite Example Work As Desired?
Nov 12, 2011I seem to recall something about pass-by-reference and the Greensock TweenLite class. It's the only thing I can think of that is causing this bit of code to be not working as I intend:
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
addItem();
}
public function addItem():MovieClip {
var item:MovieClip = getNewItem();
[Code]...
The trace is outputting the values I expect: an incremental sequence where each number is greater than the last (by the height of the item). However, what I see visually is that all the items end up at the same location (as if newPosY were the same for all instances of the tween.)
The only thing that comes to mind is that newPosY is being passed by reference, so each instance of the tween is actually referencing the very same value. Am I missing something? Or do I need some kind of closure to isolate the scope of my tween property's value?
Function Calling On A Paint Bucket Style Application?
Dec 24, 2009I'm putting together a little application that has a simpe paint bucket functionality. I'm having a small problem, i'm sure it's an easy fix, but frankly I'm not much of a programmer.
Essentially what I have is a set of color swatches that users can select, and then a grid of movie clips with a series of frames, each corresponding to a swatch color. Over that, I have a grid of clear buttons that check to see which swatch is selected and then tell the movieclip underneath to go to the frame that corresponds to the right color. What I want to do is just set up the function once and call it for each movie clip, rather than repeating the function for each cell in my 6x7 grid.

Actionscript 3 :: Flash Run A Function Only If Instance Within Function Is Defined
Mar 3, 2011I have a situation where, upon loading my swf, I add an event listener to the stage to listen for keyboard commands. One of them is to listen for the spacebar, and if it is pressed, it should play a movie. The problem is, that movie is not loaded until later on, depending other user interactions, therefore, until it is loaded, the reference to it would be undefined.
But if I wait and add the listener for key commands only when the movie is loaded, then I can't utilize the listener for other keyboard commands, like RIGHT or LEFT, which are the buttons which get you to the movie in the first place. Is there a way to add a conditional or something to prevent that code from being executed if the video is not defined yet? Here's my code:

Access An Instance In A Different FLA?
Sep 28, 2009I am trying to add a LOAD EXTERNAL MOVIE CLIP behaviour to a button sitting in a .FLA called SERVICESMENU. I want to load a .swf titled MULTIMEDIA.SWF into an instance of an empty symbol called PAGE LOADER on a different .FLA called MAIN.FLA.
The problem is when I am in the SERVICEMENU.FLA file, I cannot see the instances that I created in the MAIN.FLA when following the behaviours wizard so I cannot choose the PAGELOADER instance that was created in and resides in the MAIN.FLA file.
ActionScript 3.0 :: One Movieclip Instance As Value For Several Variables?
May 28, 2010It seems that my code is problematic, because I assign one instance of a MovieClip to several variables, type MovieClip. The behaviour of others of my codes makes me think, that ActionScript does not make copies of the instance, but references all variables to this single instance. This behaviour now causes trouble.The solution I consider now, is to create copies of the MovieClip and assign them to my variables. Is there any code to copy a MovieClip?

This is because I have 5 movieclips named block1, block2, etc. However, it returns undefined. When I directly state the instance name, like:

It works. How do I use variables as instance names?
