Actionscript 3 :: Instantiate A Class With Getdefintionbyname And Getqualifiedbyclass With TYPED Declaration
Apr 6, 2010
example:
var c : Class = Sprite;
//This can be random class such as movieclip/etc
var o = getDefintionByName(getQualifiedClassName(c));
this works, but in flash develop, it says that the variable 'o' has no type declaration
which basically means
var o : SOMETHING = getDefintionByName(getQualifiedClassName(c));
but how do i put that something there when i do not know what its coming because of random classes?

Whether its better to instantiate class on it's variable declaration or within a constructor? For example, this:
protected var _errorHandler:ErrorHandler = new ErrorHandler();
or this:
protected var _errorHandler:ErrorHandler;
public function someClass() {
_errorHandler = new ErrorHandler();
}

For a game I'm attempting to develop, I am writing a resource pool class in order to recycle objects without calling the "new" operator. I would like to be able to specify the size of the pool, and I would like it to be strongly typed.
Because of these considerations, I think that a Vector would be my best choice. However, as Vector is a final class, I can't extend it. So, I figured I'd use composition instead of inheritance, in this case.
The problem I'm seeing is this - I want to instantiate the class with two arguments: size and class type, and I'm not sure how to pass a type as an argument.
Here's what I tried:
public final class ObjPool
{
private var objects:Vector.<*>;
public function ObjPool(poolsize:uint, type:Class)

I need it to create "pieceName1" and "pieceName2" etc.I tried:var this["pieceName" + i]: PieceName = new PieceName();But that didn't work.I tried googling Array Notation but I also couldn't find anything that would help in class declarations.

I keep getting this error: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.Probably just something stupid... but I'm struggling...I have two classes (ribostrand.as and nucleo.as) in a folder called architect. The main FLA file is outside the folder.I'm trying instantiate the nucleo class with parameters, from the ribostrand class... but its not working.
var ribo:nucleo = new nucleo("A",50,50)

I was chatting with my buddy about this, he is convinced you can do this and says he has done it, but I cannot get this to work.
I am wondering if it is even possible at all. I tried typing a var as a Class that is within the externally downloaded SWF and then making an instance but no can do.
some code
private static function onCompleteHandler(e:Event)
{
dashboardObject = e.target.content;
// registerClassAlias("Dashboard", ); doesnt work
[Code]....
So it seems you cannot make an instance of a class unless it is complied within the project SWF. Which if true is what I want it to do. I do not want people trying to make instances of my classes just from downloading the SWF file for what I am building here.

I have an abstract class which gives specific 'base' behavior to multiple sub classes. I want to instantiate a Singleton inside this abstract class. Is it good practice to:a) instantiate a class within an abstract classb) do this with a Singleton (I know these may be frowned upon)For clarity I will give an example, the method instantiating the Singleton is:
public function createErrorRepository(repositoryType:String):void {
this._errorFactory = ErrorFactory.getInstance();
this._errorRep = this._errorFactory.createErrorRepository(repositoryType);

How would I create a strongly typed class at runtime (so to be able to create instances of it)? It can't be a proxy.
Additional Info: For example, say I want to create a Person class with first and last where both are Strings.
Context This is for an application that lets you create the data model and custom components at runtime. This is only part of it. I need to be able to have strong typing. If that means going to the server and creating a new SWF on the server with the value objects then loading in the definition at runtime then I would but that is a lot more work if there is an alternative.

How can I instantiate another class object from a class instance? In the code below (which doesn't work) I'd like the function to return a new class instance based the passed argument's class. In other words, I want the function to return a new instance of MySprite without having to call new MySprite();.
var mySprite:Sprite = new MySprite();
var anotherSprite:Sprite = makeAnotherSprite(mySprite);
function makeAnotherSprite(instance:Sprite):Sprite {
return new getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(instance));
}

I'm trying to use a listbox to instantiate a class. "SEA30_05_215_Single_Classroom" is a class that is loaded in using another function just fine. When I attempt to use the function below I get an error that says "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor."Any ideas how to either fix the error or do it a different way? It seems like it should be a fairly simple thing to instantiate a class using a list box..[code]

The following code works to instantiate a class from a listbox selection...
[Code]....
But when I try and load the same label and data from XML it does NOT work... Below is the for loop that I'm using to parse my XML and populate the listbox:
[Code]...
The setupID should be populating with a class that I can instantiate (just like when I hard-code it without using XML). Instead I get the error "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor." I also received this error when I had quotes around the hard-coded version. So, I'm assuming that maybe the XML is being read as a string. But I haven't been able to find a way to cast it differently. I've been stuck on this for quite some time now.

I've got a string which, in run-time, contains the name of a class that I want to instantiate. I read suggestions to use
flash.utils.getDefinitionByName():
var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("package.className") as Class;
var myInstance:* = new myClass();
However, that gives me the following error:
[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable className is not defined.

I have some classes stored in a swc which I would like to instantiate using data pulled in by xml - using a string to reference the classname.So where I would normally use
ActionScript Code:
var tagline:Sprite = new Tagline1();
I would now like to do something like
ActionScript Code:
var tagname:String = "Tagline1"; // really the string comes from XML
var tagline:Sprite = new [tagname]();
I have a vague idea this is possible using square brackets, but I don't seem to be able to find out anything about it.

Using org.as3commons.reflect I can look-up the class name, and instantiate a class at runtime.I also have (non-working) code which invokes a method. However, I really want to set a property value. I'm not sure if properties are realized as methods internally in Flex.I have a Metadata class which stores 3 pieces of information: name, value, and type (all are strings).I want to be able to loop through an Array of Metadata objects and set the corresponding properties on the instantiated class.[code]I realize that I have to declare a dummy variable of the type I was to instantiate, or use the -inculde compiler directive. An unfortunate drawback of Flex.Also, right now there's code to account for typecasting the value to it's specified type.

I'm unsuccessfully attempting to instantiate a reference of a class that is passed as a parameter to another class. In this example there are 3 classes:
MainClass, Canvas, MyCircle
From the MainClass I am creating an instance of Canvas, which is passed a class reference of MyCircle as I want to create instances of MyCircle from within Canvas. However, the MyCircle constructor contains required parameters that are created from within Canvas. How can I pass and instantiate a class reference with required parameters?
MyCircle:
package {

import flash.display.Shape;
//Class
public class MyCircle extends Shape {

I'm using Pyamf as my backend for my Flex app and I'm seeing some weird problems with the mapping of the stongly typed classes.[code]When I do that in Flex, I get my SouvenirAct objects are typed as they should be, BUT then the child souvenir objects are all null. So when I force the casting of the SouvenirAct objects in the return result, I get null for the child properties that are strongly typed.Has anyone see this before? Is there a different way I should be mapping classes?

this should be easy, but I can't figure it. How do I get an XML declaration in AS3? I need to get any encoding= parameter. For example this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<some>
<thing>...</thing>
</some>
It's XML text that loads externally from a URL using URLLoader. I create the XML object by doing var xml:XML = new XML(evt.target.data) upon load complete. I've tried XML.ignoreProcessingInstructions = false and no effect. xml.children()[0] is the first node, not the declaration. Do I need to manually parse the raw string data that is returned from URLLoader?

I'm currently working on a project where I'm having to deal with a lot of different variables and am wondering if there would be a way to cut down on my declaration ones (there are currently 152 variables dedicated to one small portion of the project.)What I have is a type, which has some subtypes(4), which have even more subtypes(subtype 1a-c: 7 types, subtype 1d: 13), which have yet another set of subtypes(which are basically subtype 1a-c's + few more, and are all applied to subtype 1d.)

ActionScript Code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clic);
function clic(evt:MouseEvent){
var clip:MovieClip=evt.target as MovieClip;
removeChild(clip);
}
1) Why it's also possible write removeChild(DisplayObject(clip)) and for what? In which case it's necessary?
2) if I write var clip=evt.target it's works too but if I write var clip:MovieClip=evt.target it doesn't work. Why? It's a movieClip that should go in the variable var.

I'm having trouble reading an XMLDocument object that has an xml declaration. When I try to trace the first child of the document I get nothing. I've run into this before but it wasn't a problem because previously I was in control of the format of the xml, so it was no problem to just not have an xml declaration, but for this project I don't have that control.

I know this doesn't work, but basically, I'm looking at something like this:

because I know I can abbreviate stuff like
yellow = Key.KeyisDown(Key.RIGHT);
blue = Key.KeyisDown(Key.UP);
green = yellow && blue;
if(green){ball_mc._x += 5; ball_mc._y -= 5;}
