Flash :: Creating A .swc - Don't Interfaces Work, When Classes?
Sep 26, 2010
I'm making a game which loads map .swfs at runtime. The maps will contain graphics and code, which can both vary from map to map. I've decided to make all the maps implement an interface, so they can all be used in the same way by the game. I'm using a .swc to contain the interface, like in this page.
I can get classes to work in the .swc, but not interfaces!
I'm using Flash cs5, and flashdevelop for editing, in AS3. Here's how I've been doing it:
1- create map.fla with a symbol called Map, and a Map.as:

What I was told, which sparked my curiosity on this topic:Java gui classes can implement hundreds of Listeners and Callbacks and many books teach you to implement all these interfaces in your gui class. Alternatively, these aspects can be implemented in inner classes, so methods called by that listeners do not get mixed up.'d like to know how to do this in ActionScript, which doesn't have inner classes, but has private classes. But, I don't think I fully realize what inner classes are about, so I'm merely trying to wrap my head around the situation where I would use them to organize a class' methods by their usages.

From what I read, interfaces are basically classes for methods, right? If two classes implements the same interface, then they should both have methods described in the interface.
Now, how is this useful? Let's say I want to call foo()

I would like people to be able to change this custom scrollItem class, but as the scroller class has some interaction with this scrollItem class (sets id etc), I have the scrollItem class implement an interface to guarantee the presence of the required methods.This works fine, but only if I keep the type of the scrollingItem class within the scroller class. I would prefer to substitute in the interface type for each scrolling item. However, I cant, as the interface is not a DisplayObject. I can get around this by casting the interface type as a DisplayObject whenever it needs to do DisplayObject type things, but this seems like a hideous hack.

I hsve a setp where a couple of classes inherit from a base class (events, plus common math). All derived classes implement the same set of methods. Another part of the program wants to instantiate any of these classes. So far I was creating empty functions in the base class and overriding them. Could an interface improve on that? I tried to list the common functions in an interface and use that as a datatype, but that would not let me use functions that the base class already inherits, in particular event dispatcher. Would I need to add these to the interface?

I've been trying out small snippets of code just to practice with and get comfortable with making classes and small games.Right now I am trying to make a simple combat with Orks. Where there is a Parent Class ORK with several ORK children classes like SentryOrk, MetalOrk, etc.
The Ork class basically puts in the many stats used by the ork such as health, strength, vitality, special, luck, etc. And then the children classes modify those like Sentry Ork will have less health and more luck.I did all that fine, but the problem I have is I want there to be multiple Sentry Orks out with their own defined stats.Right now whenever I do initiate the attack one out of three orks on the screen, they all share the same health.I know what the problem is, I just don't know how to go about dynamically making each class their own?Do I have to make a whole other class to bring them onto the stage with their stats like create a new class that handles all ENEMY POP UPS? I don't see how to do that either?:

I'm new to flash, as3 and this forum so any help would be great!I've made an xml gallery, all the movieclips and everything have been created dynamically and the images are being loaded through an xml file. Except two buttons which are in the library and have the linkage names next_btn and prev_btn.
Now what I want to do is, I have 3 categories of galleries, so I want to convert my script into a class which I can use for every type of gallery. (I hope I'm being clear)When the user clicks on gallery, a the function startGallery() is called.
I need to know how to go about it I'm pretty much clueless, I've read a WHOLE LOT of tutorials about classes but I really can't understand how to do this.

I'm new to AS3. Learning how to create classes. Is comp = new HouseObjects creating a new class? Is comp creating an instance of the HouseObjects? I realize that this is inside public class TreeHouse. I'm thinking that HouseObjects, how I set it up is not a class...not sure what the correct way to set up classes and properties.
Also I noticed, that when I tried to link another movieclip using the same linkage name HouseObjects--it asked to enter a unique class. I'm trying to create multiple instances from the same class called HouseObjects.

I know this is possible because I've seen it done somewhere or other but I have no idea what it is called. Quite simply, I want to create some dynamic classes without having external .as files for each one - I just want to declare them inside a function in my doc class.

I've had an issue with using Facebook's Share feature.
The user experience on the shared content below is just completely unclear (even when I tested some clarified language: e.g. "click here"). Users simply don't know what to do: they often either click "Like," or they comment with something along the lines of "I support you."
According to the documentation, it is possible to share Flash content in these posts. I'm hoping I can create a "Support" button as an SWF button.
Is it possible to dynamically create such an SWF with a custom *href? Will my use case work on Facebook?

I am attempting to use multiple AS3 timers to run a short animation in flash but I'm having a problem with some of the instances running slowly or not being removed when they are supposed to. I found a way to make things work the way I want but in being new to AS3 I believe my runtime issues are due to jumbled code.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var playerFadeTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 2, true);
var playerXTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "x", Strong.easeOut, 292, 10, 2, true);

I've always wrote all my code into the .fla and now I'm trying to use classes more. I have my file loading the document class. Then the document class imports two additional classes. In my constructor of the document class I am creating a new instance of both additional classes. Here is my doc class:
[Code]...
Now inside of the other two classes I should be able to just use main_class.myFunc(); Correct? Why isn't is working? How can I interact classes? If I create a new instance to the class I want to access then I get a stack over flow error. Inside remoting class in the constructor my code; main_class = new CheckoutMain(); main_class.myFunc();

I am starting to create classes instead of using the timeline and I am learning a lot more even if mistakes happen more often. However I have a question about linkage & library. For example let say that I have a ball pic called Ball1.mpg. I copy and past that Ball1.mpg in my folder where the Fla file is as well as the as file. If I want to utilize this Ball1.mpg in my code using Flash do I absolutely need to import into my library and link it and export using linkage? Or can I use the object Ball.1mpg just using actionscript. Of course that implies that I would use an actionscript class not the timeline.

I have created a file called Config.as, in it are getter and setter methods that define variables that I need to reference throughout my system.
I have obviously made a mistake as I tried to access a variable in two files as indicated in a demo below:
Code:
package {
import Config;
public class TestOne {
[Code].....
It seems quite clear to me that I have created two instance of the Config class and that is why in class TestTwo the trace statement doesn't return "hello world". Is there a common coding practice to access the same variable with multiple classes?

I have a designer who has created a set of movie clips that I want to create instances of using ActionScript, but all I have is the name of the MovieClip as it's stated in the library (not the instance name).
Is there any way to create instances of the MovieClips using just their name? Or do I have to create separate classes for each?

Are there any tutorials available that will show me how to create a multiple class program from scratch? I have 2 classes working with a fla and when I add a 3rd class every object I create comes up as an error.1120: Access of undefined property.I'm very frustrated cause I can't figure what the problem is. I have just migrated to OOP so I'm relatively new at this.

am creating a simple flash game where you rotate a planet to make the buildings on the planet avoid incoming meteors.I was told that there is another just like it already, but I don't want to see it because it may restrict my imagination.
I have everything pretty much planned out now in a "game script" of everything that i want to happen. only thing is, i'm not sure where to start.Actually,i implemented rotating the planet and the timer so far, but that is all.I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind reading through my game script and pointing me in the right direction.I am trying to wrap my head around creating classes to handle different aspects of the game, but not sure what to put in a class and what not to.I attached the game so far and the word file

When I create anything in a library, it's basically a class right? Meaning I can do essentially the same thing with use of a package in an AS file? In AS 2.0 this would probably mean I can add specific functions on this class as I can do when I use flash's object interface and add script to the specific class object itself. However, in AS 3.0 you cannot attribute code directly to an object right?
This leads me to my second question. I basically want to create a flash mp3 player (I've coded this already), but make it so that it is an entire package of contents, so I can add it to my website when a mouse event is detected and then take it off the website once it's no longer needed (to conserve memory and assure an overall nice experience). The problem is that I have many objects and subsequent functions (play button, pause button, etc), and want all of this to be contained in one file. Is this even possible?

Dont output some message of error.What i do is create a new flash proyect save the fla file and then create a class where in the constructor i put the trace function with the message "hello world".I follow the instruction, and concepts, and understand everything, im not a new programmer i have experience with several lenguages.
