Actionscript 3 :: Query - Clicking And Determining The Sprite's Class?
Apr 13, 2010
i'd like to add all or most of my mouse events to stage, but in order to do that i need to be able to tell what is the type of the sprite being clicked.i've added two sprites to the display list, one of which is from a class called Square, the other from a class called Circle.
var mySquare:Sprite = new Square();
var myCircle:Sprite = new Circle();
addChild(mySquare);[code]...........
so far i know how to do is determine if it IS a sprite display object, but since i'll only be working with sprites i need something more specific.rather than checking "is Sprite", is there a way i can check "is Square" or "is Circle"?
if (myArray[myArray.length - 1] is Square)

I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.

I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

i have a BasicMap.as that takes an Array and populates itself with the MC objects passed to it by a String reference.it inherits from Sprite, and so it just places the objects on its self.then i have a class that inherits from that class, and gives a little more functionality to it, but in order for it to do that, it needs to place the objects not on itself, but instead inside a holder Sprite, so here is my problem:

import flash.display.Sprite;

I'm trying to run a sqlite query in flex to count the total number of records I believe its working fine but I just can't figure out how to display the results - all I get back is [object Object].
private function overviewOne():void{
var stmt:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stmt.sqlConnection = sqlConn;
stmt.text = "SELECT COUNT(user_id) FROM tbl_user WHERE status_status ='Away'";
[code]....
So how do I make a reference to the COUNT(user_id)?
(flash.data::SQLResult)#0
complete = true
data = (Array)#1

Is accessable in any way, or written in C++ and embedded into the Flash player?

I'm tryin to set the global focus to a specific class that already exists on the stage after I remove a popup dialog from the screen. I pass the name of the class that was on the stage before the popup dialog is shown by string to the popup class.So public function PopupMenu(pClass:String)after I remove the popup dialog, I want to restore focus back to the previous class so it can accept key events again.How would I set focus to an instance of an object on stage. Currently I have something like this:
Main.mainStage.focus = (InteractiveObject)(getDefinitionByName(prevClass));
but it returns this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.cox::IdleScreen$ to flash.display.InteractiveObject.

I'm wondering (based on scoping rules) how I might do the following: I want to draw to a sprite that exists on the main stage in which I have a class instantiated.
So something like
public function MyClass(reference:String){
this.reference = reference;
}
[Code]...
Would I use super() in this case, or what's the usual methodology?

I am trying to build a flip clock that utilizes filmstrip pngs. I have the main class instantiaing instances of the flipper class to hold the different number postions of the clock and then I want to tell the flipper instances to animate when the timer reaches a certain point in the main class. The problem is when I tell the flipper class to start animating I get a null value error from the flipper class.[code]Ok I guess writing it our helps figured out that the flipper wasn't through loading when I tried to call its properties, duh. Now can someone refresh my memory on how to broadcast an event to the Main class when the flipper class is done animating? I know I have to set bubbling to something but can't remeber exactly what it is. Also its not letting me create a singleton instance of the Main class in the Flipper class, I've done this before in other projects can someone tell me what I am missing on this one?

I have a class which subclasses Sprite (Class1). In this class I draw something on the stage. I have another class (Class2) that creates several instances of the first class (Class1) and places them on the stage. As I am creating the instances of Class1, I am adding an event listener for the CLICK event for each instance.When I click on any of the Class1 instances, I would like to execute a public function in Class1. However e.target is Sprite and I cannot conver it to type Class1.

So I have a class that extends sprite. When I call an instance of my thumbnail object, I apparently can't use typical transforms on it by accessing .x and .y properties. These are not inherited from the superclass? Do I need to tell it to inherit these traits?

Is there a way to add text programmatically in as3 to a Sprite or a MovieClip without using the class TextField
TextField inherits from InteractiveObject which is kind of heavy for what I want to do: just display text (i.e. I don't want to interact with the text).
Note: I'm aware that there is a property selectable to make the textfield not selectable. This is not the point.

my current idea is that I'll have a sprite as a swf. This sprite has 2 dynamic colors (if you don't know what that is, imagine a sprite that has a color depending on which team he is in, something like that). So I'll have 3 clips on 3 layers.
- non colour
- colour 1
- colour 2
thing is, I don't want it to be solid colours. (and i'm not the artist.) Am I heading in the right direction?

Say i have these two classes:
MAIN.as
package
{
import flash.display.*; import mx.core.*;
import flash.events.*; import mx.collections.*;
[Code]...
Now how is it that I can add the variable SPRITE which is a Sprite in the OBJECT_square class to the display list of MAIN class? I've tried addChild(SPRITE) and super.addChild(SPRITE). If everything works I should see a red square somewhere on the screen but right now its all blank, except for the text drawn in the MAIN class.
Basically I want it so i can just make a new OBJECT_square and it will draw itself without any more instructions from the MAIN class.
