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?

Possible Duplicate: Where is the "proper" place to initialize class variables in AS3
Whether its better to instantiate class on it's variable declaration or within a constructor? For example, this:

or this:
protected var _errorHandler:ErrorHandler;
public function someClass() {
_errorHandler = new ErrorHandler();

Actionscript 3 :: Dynamically Instantiate A Typed Vector From Function Argument?

Apr 1, 2011

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)

AS3 :: Flash - Instantiate Class From External SWF

Oct 28, 2009

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.

Javascript :: Instantiate Within Abstract Class?

Feb 11, 2011

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);

Actionscript 3 :: Create A Strongly Typed Class At Runtime?

Jan 10, 2012

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.

ActionScript 3 :: Instantiate New Object From Class Instance?

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 {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Using A Listbox To Instantiate Class

Nov 15, 2010

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Instantiate A Class From An XML Loaded Listbox

Nov 18, 2010

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Square Brackets And String To Instantiate Class?

Oct 13, 2010

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.

Actionscript 3 :: Dynamically Instantiate A Class / Set Property At Runtime In Flex 3?

Feb 17, 2010

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get XML Declaration?

May 20, 2009

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?
