I have a class consisting of a nested array called twoDArray.
public class TestArray
{
public function TestArray() {
var twoDArray:Array = new Array(new Array("one","two"), new Array("three", "four"));
}
[Code]...
I thought I would be able to reference OrbArray for example using trace(OrbArray[0][0]); giving me the output I am looking for of "one". When I attempt this I get ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 0 not found on com.orbclasses.TestArray and there is no default value.
Ive got two classes and my stage. I'm trying to use an array to keep control of my enemy class's number for collision purposes and I managed to get the enemies to populate the array.
I'm working with Flash Builder 4.5 on an Actionscript project. I've created the following classes:
package { public class ComplexNumber {
[Code]....
but the code inside this loop generates the following run time error: "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on ComplexArray." Thus, my code for "BXFN_complex[ii] = ~" is incorrect. Anyone know how to achieve what I'm trying to do? Basically, ComplexDivide.v1p0 returns two numbers, and BXFN_complex is an object containing two number arrays, and I want to assign the ComplexDivide two numbers into the ii'th element of arrays in BXFN_complex.
Using Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)
Given that both of these calls to getQualifiedClassName return the same thing (mx:Label), how would one go about programatically differentiating between an instance of a class and a reference to the class...
var lab1:Label=new Label(); var lab2:Class=Label; var qcn1:String=getQualifiedClassName(lab1); var qcn2:String=getQualifiedClassName(lab2);
In other words, how could I know that lab1 is of type Label, while lab2 is type "Class". typeof() simply returns "object" for both... getQualifiedClassName returns "mx.controls::Label" for both...
I am doing a looping background with 2 identical BG movieClip (B1 and B2). Those 2 are "new" by the same class.
var B1:MovieClip = new BG(); var B2:MovieClip = new BG();
But because this BG class picture is loader from the internet and the picture is rather big. When I addressed its loading by using progressEvent. The picture is really loaded 2 times. Is there anyway I create B2 based on B1 without using new BG() again? Since it definitely makes a new BG with Loader code inside.
I want to retrieve the var reference of an instance of a class from within the class. For example:
ActionScript Code: var ref:MyClass = new MyClass (); //then via some method, I would like to get the var ref inside the class ref.getRef(); //returns "ref" instead of [object Object]
[Code]....
You may ask why, well I want to do some spring cleaning inside this manager class I am making. Of course the above is a simplistic version of what I am trying to do.
I'm working on a set of buttons so that when one is rolled over, it gets larger and the remaining buttons get smaller. This however will all be housed in the rollOver function of the individual button rolled over. So I used an array and a "for loop" to encompass all of the buttons. I am able to reference the one I roll over by simply using "myButtons[i]" but I cannot figure out how to reference all the others using the array.
#include "mc_tween2.as" var myButtons = [this.myButton_1, this.myButton_2, this.myButton_3, this.myButton_4]; for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++) {
I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.
I have two buttons that are in a movieclip, how can I reference them like I have done with the 2 buttons below so that they can be added into an array?
container.anotherButton and container.anotherButton2 are the buttons I want to add to the array.
var agreeButton:SimpleButton; var disagreeButton:SimpleButton;
var buttonArray:Array = new Array(agreeButton, disagreeButton); for (var i:int = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++) { buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClick); }
This is nested inside another for loop which creates an array of the movieClip rows. Problem I see them drawn and positioned correctly on the stage but I cant reference any other than the top row in order to change the alpha for example.
I realize this is very basic but i need a quick way of referencing all my objects in an array,I have a series of movieclips with instance names "block1" "block2"... etc.
I there a quick way to reference these in an array something like "block"+1 ?
I've created two custom classes to contain data for a web forum controller flash tool:
class postClass { public var post_id:Number; //plus some other variables like timestamp etc
[code]....
When I try to assign a new post to a user (by adding the post data to the postArray variable) I overwrite posts that I had already placed under other users. More specifically, if I'm posting the first post for User Y, I overwrite the first post for User X with the exact same data.I thought this was a reference vs. value passing error, but I tried to eliminate this by not copying the "postClass" objects, but assigning the data directly into the user's postArray array:
var userArray:Array = new Array(); function addNewUser(masterPostIndex,UserNumber) {
[code]....
This all seems to work fine until I try to write a new post for a second or third user. If I trace the contents of User X's posts, they immediately become identical to the content of User Y's posts, as soon as User Y's posts are added. Later, when User Z comes along, both User X and User Y's posts are overwritten. This code is kinda long, so I didn't want to post the whole thing - but I can post any parts you're interested in, of course.
This really 'feels' like a reference-passing error (arrays are all looking at the same location in memory), but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - I'm not making a postClass object and then pushing it onto the user's postArray (I tried that too, same result).
var newPost:postClass = new postClass(); //read and assign values to newPost userArray[userIndex].push(newPost); //
this is clearly passing the referenceI can see how the latter example would pass the reference to newPost to the user object, then when I change newPost in the next iteration (when user Y posts something), User X's data will change too. I tried to avoid this with the first set of code.
Does anyone know how to extract a class reference from an SWC file? I know I can right click / "Go to definition", and view the class definition. I need to extract these for each class in an SWC. Can anyone provide a method to do so automatically?
If n=1,b1.gotoAndStop(2); is to happen.n=2,b2.gotoAndStop(2); is to happen.But i don't want to put conditions like this.I want to putting something like this:b[n].gotoAndStop(2); or something.Is it possible.Is there any other alternate logic.
I have an array for my navigation bar (btn1, btn2, btn3 etc) where when the user clicks on a button, it goes to the correct page, and all is good. Now, I when the user clicks on a page, I want it to play a funtion where the button (movieclip) goes to frame2, and the button is disabled. How do I say 'if user clicks btn1, and is on page1, now disable btn1'. My code is below:
I created an Array of lrgIcons that contains several MovieClips, they are then positioned within a second MC and pushed to a second array of lrgIconsOnStage, they are enabled as buttons and assigned an event listener (all of this works fine). Problem is, I want to know which lrgIcon is selected and react to it with an if statement. When I trace the array of lrgIconsOnStage I get [object amazonLrgIcon],[object emailLrgIcon],[object gmailLrgIcon],[object messagesLrgIcon],[object missedCallsLrgIcon] and when I trace e.target I get [object amazonLrgIcon] (depending on which item I selected, which in my mind, should trigger the code correctly, but it does nothing, Why?
Code: var currButton:String; var lrgIcons:Array = new Array(amazonLrgIcon,emailLrgIcon,gmailLrgIcon,messagesLrgIcon,missedCallsLrgIcon); var lrgIconsOnStage:Array = new Array(); var lrgIconPosY:int = 69; var lrgIcon:MovieClip; [Code] .....
In AS2 I have several arrays constructed like this : var myArray0:Array=new Array(value,value,value...) var myArray1:Array=new Array(value,value,value...) var myArray2:Array=new Array(value,value,value...) var myArray4:Array=new Array(value,value,value...) ...
What I'm trying to do is use iteration to reference each array name to pass it into a function. Like : function doSomethingWithArray(arrayToPass){ ... } //Later somewhere in For loop... : _root["myButton"+i].onRelease=function(){ doSomethingWithArray(WHAT-THE-HELL-I-TYPE-HERE[i]) }
It took me hours to figure our why this was returning the wrong value - when assigning one array to another it passes by reference not Value. I need a way to force it to pass by values. e.g. copy the existing array and have the second array reference it, so i am free to modify the first array without changing the values of the second.[code]From the example above You see that in Actionscript when assigning one variable to another it does it my reference not value. So when you chage the value of one array it changes the value of the other automatically.I need to have the "test2" variable reference the "test1" array only by value so if modify "test1" the values of "test2" won't be modified.
In the code below, i create an object and stick it in an array, then I make a duplicate of that array. I loop though the duplicate and change the value of one of the props of the object in the duplicated array. Doing this however unintentionally changes the prop value of an object in the original array. I'm assuming that the objects in the duplicated array are mere references to the objects in the original array. Is this correct? And if so, how do i make unique copies of those objects in the original array, so that changes made to the objects in the new, duplicated array are exclusive to those objects?
I know that i could probably make a new object when duplicating the array, and then recreate each prop, assigning values from the original objects.. but this is a simplified example. The project im working on has many props for each object, so, id rather just make copies if at all possible.
Code: var testObj:Object = new Object(); testObj.prop1 = "hello"; // var testArr:Array = new Array();
