Flash :: Call Override Child Class Function?
Nov 14, 2010I have two child classes ClassA and ClassB both inherit the same base class.
I also have a function that has a parameter which could be an instance of either child classes.
function Test(instance):void //instance is either a ClassA or ClassB instance
{
instance.DoSomething();
}
However, when I run the test, it's always the BaseClass.DoSomething() get called. How can I use the same function (DoSomething()), but call child class function instead of the base class one?

Actionscript 3 :: Flash RIA Development - Using Events / Listeners Or Allowing Children To Call Functions In Parents?
Oct 20, 2011I'm working on a web app built in Flash AS3. At a high level - the app has a main screen, and several "modal dialog"-type screens that pop-up to manage various user interactions. (This is a similar pattern I use in most of the apps I develop...) Typically - when the user clicks a UI control on the dialog screen (e.g., button, text box, slider bar, etc.) - the main screen needs to react, or manage the consequences. It seems like there are two general ways to handle this: Have the dialog screen dispatch events that the main screen listens for Allow the dialog screen to call functions in the main screen when those controls are clicked (which requires that the dialog screen maintain a reference to the main screen, and that the functions in the main screen are public)
In general - I understand that one of the key benefits of the first method is that the dialog screen isn't so tightly coupled; it's only responsibility is to broadcast the event. This would allow me to more easily use the dialog class in other contexts, or applications. But for many RIAs I develop - a particular screen is SO SPECIFIC to the the application that there's no chance I'd ever reuse it in another application. So, the "easy re-use" benefit is minimal. So - if you eliminate that benefit - which method is actually better? (More performant, less resource-intensive?) For example - if I use events, then Flash needs to manage many listeners for events that may never occur. So - it might be more efficient if the dialog window could call a function in the main screen directly, instead of dispatching an event.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Not Call Parents Class Constructor
Nov 17, 2009This is my first post. I'm new to actionscript, but not to programming. I hope to learn a lot from these forums. To the point: I decided a few days ago that I wanted to create a flash game. I'm taking an object-oriented approach to the game design since that is what I know. The issue I am having is that I have a class called Hero that inherits from a class called Entity. Now my issue is that I don't want Hero to call the Entities class constructor when I initialize a new Entity.

Oct 11, 2010Ok every time I think I understand the DisplayObject model i find something else that seems like it should work but fails. Am I correct that if I create a sprite then create another sprite and add it as a child the original parent sprite will show a height of 0... In my case i have three classes that all extend Sprite and each one is creating the next with the "youngest child" being a class that adds an image to its "stage". I can see the image height fine but its holder does not nor does its holders parent... im having a real moment here as I debate if im just stupid and missing the obvious way to do this or if I really have to add a bunch of getters and setters to see the height that includes children.Maybe I am thinking of this too much like a CSS block element but it just seems like it should work this way...for example
parent "holder" <- child "slide" <- child "image"
holder.height == 0
slide.height == 0

ActionScript 3.0 :: Child Call To Parent Function Not Working

This class tries to call a function on the main MovieClip and it's not finding it.

Aug 21, 2009in my last flash website i built, i created a gallery, my way of creating pages in flash are to have a movieclip as a page, so to make it easier to switch between the paged (page switching functionality is purely done in AS3). the gallery was a problem however, i needed the pictures to appear as popups, however to add the child from inside the movieclip, any masks i use would prevent the popup from leaving the immediate area of the page. so to get around this problem i basically used: MovieClip(root).addChild()
in my opinion this was a mistake, because it created other problems. the problem was that the popups are still connected to the page, even though they are outside of it, which meant that using removeChild() to switch from the gallery, meant that any popup that were still active, 'DIDNT' dissapear, and worse than that, because the page was removed, the popups lost any AS connected to them, which meant the couldnt be removed at all.

Flash :: Call Anonymous Function From ExternalInterface.call() Method?
Nov 4, 2010I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.

Flash :: Call A Method Of A Child Of A Datagroup
May 2, 2011I'm looking for a way to call a method for ALL children elements of a DataGroup from the DataGroup. The problem is that when using the creationComplete event to call a method of a child that method is only called once for every itemrenderer (child) object. after the item was drawn once. now i want the children component to call a function everytime the datagroup containing it changes its data. Using "updateComplete" or "dataChange" inside the children (itemrenderer) component would work, BUT "updateComplete" and "dataChange" is called everytime i change the view (e.g. scroll my list) - thats not what i want.
