Flash :: Call Override Child Class Function?
Nov 14, 2010
I 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?

I'm trying to call a function in one child class (Circle.as) from another child class (Wedge.as). Circle.as is instantiated by the document class (Tree.as), and Wedge.as is instantiated by Circle.as. How do I do this? This is my code:

I have learned that there is a class called Function which is used as a blueprint for all as3 functions. Is there a way to override the call() function within the function class so that a trace can be made when any/every function is called?

Is it possible to externally override a public function of a class (as opposed to override via inheritance)?
For example:
Code:
Class Foo {public function doFoo():void {trace ("Foo");
}
}
Such that:
[Code]...
I know this is possible in JavaScript and ECMAScript, but the compiler won't let me get away with this kind of mischief in ActionScript, from what I've seen: It barfs up a 1168 Illegal Assignment error as soon as I attempt to assign a new function to doFoo.
I'm thinking specifically in terms of a "hot fix" solution where you deploy a small swf that replaces a specific chunk of code in a larger application, without the need to recompile/deploy the full application (or even see the sourcecode for that matter, just know the API).

override a custom class method with a function expression? For instance, if I want to change the destination of a button on the fly, I could theoretically type:
Code:
var new_destination:Function = function(evt:Event):void{ go_to_new_place();};
myButtonClass.mouse_clicked = new_destination;
but unfortunately that generates an error because the class method "mouse_clicked" is already defined in my class (with the eventListener tied to it). I tried using the "override" keyword in the Function Expression but that didn't work either.

This is for a playbook app. I have two classes:

This is essentially what I'm trying to do. What's the best way to achieve this in actionscript?

I have a Document class that instantiates a class named Other. I need to call a function in the Other class from the Document class.I'm getting this error: Call to a possibly undefined method OtherFunction through a reference with static type Other.I have read online that you need to use make the functions static or use a getter function but I'm unclear how to do that. I haven't been able to make it work and I feel like i'm missing something fundemental with this problem.below are simplified versions of the classes.

I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?

I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

how do I call a function defined in a child ... in AS2 (flash 8.0)
I have this situation: Movieclip "Washformulas" (not in root but works 'standalone' from itsself) having a couple of instances of "Bullet"-movieclips, named "Bullet1", Bullet2,...
For simplicity "Bullet" is 1 frame, and has this code :
ActionScript Code:
function testf()
{
trace("test");
}
How do I call that function from "Washformulas"?
Bullet1.testf();

I have a main MovieClip that creates a new instance of an imported class which is a page in the application. This class tries to call a function on the main MovieClip and it's not finding it. I've done this in the past without any problems with separate swf files and loaders, and with movieclips in a library. I'm at a loss on how to resolve this. Here's what I'm doing (simplified for posting):

If an object, or say... a document class, creates an instance of a class (and stores it as a variable), and it doesn't pass any arguments to the constructor of the class, can that class object, by simply having a function of it called by the parent, tell who sent it that command/request? In other words, can a class object know who called it (such as it's parent) via a (seemingly) anonymous call?
