ActionScript 2.0 :: Define A Custom Class To Be An AsBroadcaster In The Classes Constructor?
Feb 22, 2007Can I define a custom class to be an AsBroadcaster in the classes constructor?
Code:
class myClass{
function myClass(){
AsBroadcaster.initialize(this);
}
}
And if so will that give me the ability to addListeners to an instance of that class?
The reason I want this approach is because I want to broadcast events from inside one of the custom classes methods and I want a textField on the stage to be listening for that broadcast message.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Declaring Variables In A Sub Class But Using Them In The Base Class Constructor?
Sep 20, 2009I am creating a Weapon class for a game and the weapons itself will be the sub classes. The sub classes will hard code some values (such as max ammo and the weapon name).
I trying to access this declared data in the base class constructor, at the moment it's not outputting the values. Is this possible?
I've broken my Weapon class for simplicity:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
My current workaround is creating a protected method in the base class to trace the information and calling that method in the sub class's constructor, this works fine but this doesn't seem like the most efficient technique?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Variables To Base Class Constructor
Sep 8, 2009I have a bunch of movieclips( clip A and B for this example) in my library that I want to use the same base class (MyClass.as in my example). I assigned the same base class in each clips property window and then gave each clip a unique class name which doesn't exist so flash says it will create the class automatically.
Now if I create a bunch of A's and B's on the stage via actionscript, how would I send variables to the constructor in MyClass.as without having to creating A.as and B.as to pass the variables along to the base class? if I do: Var newA:MovieClip = new A (argument 1, argument2, etc) It says it expects 0 args since the A & B classes were created automatically by flash.
Actionscript 3 :: Inherited Variables - MyVar Not Keep The Value Of "car" When The Base Class Constructor Is Called
Jan 26, 2012I have a base class "Vehicle" and a derived class "Car".
[Code]...
Basically, I want to set a vehicle property in Car's constructor, call Vehicle's constructor with super() and have Vehicle do something based on myVar. But this is the output i get: car pre: null car post: car vehicle: vehicle Why does myVar not keep the value of "car" when the base class constructor is called? How am I supposed to implement this correctly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The Constructor Of A Class Which Has Been Placed With The Flash IDE?
Oct 22, 2011I have a custom class, MyMC. The only argument the constructor takes is a string, which sets the text of a label inside MyMC.
In the Flash IDE I've placed an instance of MyMC, which is called mcOnStage, on the stage. Through the document's class Main I'd want to perform the constructor function of mcOnStage.
Flash :: Make A Class Constructor Be Callable As A Function?
Dec 1, 2010Some of the top level classes can be instantiated as well as called as a function (e.x. new Number() and Number(), new Boolean() and Boolean(), new Array() and Array()).
Usually this is used for type conversion or as a shortcut for instantiation. I would like to be able to do the same thing:
[Code]...
What I wanted to do originally was to create a logging class to interact with Flash/JavaScript, and be cross-browser compatible. I wanted to be able to use the log function as an alias of a method in the log class. This got me to wondering whether I could implement a custom casting function just because. I've now realized it's not possible, but was fun to play with anyway.

Flex :: Define A Class Implements ICollectionView - Which Can Use As ComboBox Or DataGrid's DataProvider(not Build-in Class)
Aug 19, 2010recently, I research for the collection framework, and find LinkedSet(AS3Commons collection framework,it is a good opensource framework) written in ActionScript, but it can't use as dataProvider in ComboBox or DataGrid, because only implements ICollectionView can use as dataProvider. So I want to try if a class implements ICollectionView can work or not. I know Flex has build-in class implements ICollectionView, but I only want to define a class not use build-in class. The class as simple as possible.(can work is enough)

View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Two Child Swf's With Same Document Class - Constructor Gets Overwritten - Flash Bug?
Jul 22, 2009here is the scenario we ran across while working on our Flash AS3 project today.
/main/root.fla
/main/root.as
/main/sub1/sub.fla
[code]....
We have many sub swf's that are loaded by the main root swf. The root swf shows the art on the stage of the sub swf, and also runs some code from the sub swf's document class. However, we noticed the constructor was not getting called on the second sub swf if the document class is the same name- even if they are in different folders. Note that we publish our swf files to a separate directory (with the same structure as above) so it is easily copied to the web server.
-root.swf loads sub1/sub.swf
-the constructor of the document class sub.as in subfolder sub1 gets called
-root.swf shows sub1/sub.swf assets with the correctly constructed sub1/sub.as document class
-user chooses to switch to sub2
[code]...
We decided to use a workaround where we basically changed the two document class .as files to be different names (e.g. renamed sub1/sub.as -> sub1/sub1.as and sub2/sub.as -> sub2/sub2.as, and updated the .fla's to point to the renamed document classes), and it works as expected. Hopefully that workaround is useful for someone.I realize most people just name every single file differently and keep everything in one folder, but when you have a sufficiently complicated project, things like this come up.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Access Component Params From Class Constructor?
Jan 18, 2011have a movieclip on the stage, whose Class is "com.nestor.elements.letterKey". The class funcKey extends "key" which contains a "public var val:String". I have many instances of letterKey(asdfghj.... a full keyboard), so I'd like to use the IDE to arrange and pass variables. SO, within the Flash IDE/Library, I rightclick the symbol to access its component definition, and add a parameter for the var in the baseclass name:value,variable:var,default:whatever,type:Str ing).Now, in the constructor function for the baseclass, if I trace my variable: it is null.

Flash :: Add Parameters In The Constructor Of A Class A, Subclassing Movieclip, Present On Stage At Design Time
Nov 12, 2011There is a library component represented by Class A. But constructor of this class requires some parameters. When the component needs to be added dynamically, it's fine because of code :

Is their any way to insert constructor parameters for movieclips already on stage.

Why create a function with arguments...
[AS]public function tweenMe(mc:MovieClip, xPos:Number, yPos:Number)[/AS]
Then create instance variables...
[AS]
public var _mc = MovieClip;
public var _xPos= Number;
public var _yPos = Number

then create local variables with the values of the arguments

_mc = mc;
_yPos = yPos;
_xPos = xPos;[/AS]

IDE :: Put A Trace In The Constructor Of The Class?
Aug 28, 2009I am trying to things efficiently and put as little code as possible on the timeline.
I have a document class loading and working at runtime.

I also tried instantiating the same movie clip from the document class-which worked-but the trace in it's class's constructor still does not output.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Apply() On A Class Constructor
Jan 25, 2010I'm doing something - probably very stupid - with an external library swf. That swf so far contains two buttons each with their own classes 'Simple_Button' and 'Simple_Pop_Button'. In the library swf document class I set up an object that lists the available classes:
Code:
oClasses = {"Simple_Button":"com.Home.Button.Simple_Button",
"Simple_Pop_Button":"com.Home.Button.Simple_Pop_Button"};
In the swf that loads the library swf I process that object and create another object with proper class references based on it:
