Flash :: Edit Visually Created Class In AS3?
Jul 30, 2011
I have some class that I created visually in Flash Professional CS5 by transferring drawn result into a MovieClip and extorting symbol into AS code. Now, I want to add some properties to the class. To be more specific, I've created Ball class and want to add to it variables that will represent vertical and horizontal speeds. How can I edit the class in order to do it? Also, when I wanted to add some visible external element to the class, at first I decided to add MovieClip property in the code itself, but then recalled method .addChild() that worked perfectly for me. Now, I can't do the same with non-visible properties. So, what is the difference between adding visible elements using .addChild() and adding them in the code itself?

Say User uploads a front facing photo. I give co-ordinates. I want to give user facility to move the points to match eyes and lips on their uploaded photo. So I want to get the editable shape. I think we will need to use bezier curves for this. How can I modify my code to line through the bezier control points?

I have this code in a class:
Code: Select allpackage com.jhoyt{
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;[code]....
and I have this code on the timeline of the movie its being loaded into:
Code: Select allimport com.jhoyt.SSIlaunch;
var ssi:SSIlaunch = new SSIlaunch();
addChild(ssi);
I know its loading because I can put trace actions into the addAndPoint function and it gets called. what can I do to make it display?

I need to edit the url link to one of the .fla that was created by another person.I know normally you would just go to action, and then there would be action script like getURL (" "). However, in this case, I looked through the everything in the action script panel, still couldn't find the url actionscript. i know it's there because when i exported the flash to swf, the url is working.

Say I draw a square on the stage, with a fill of blue and a stroke of black. My width and height are both the same. Now, in my Actionscript, I want to change that blue fill to something else.... on some off the wall condition of course.
Better yet, imagine I draw this extremly elaborate polygon out. How could I change it's fill, dynamically, in Actionscript (AS2 preferably, but I'm just lookin' for logic here)

When coding in the Flash IDE, i very often use the following procedure to create specialized versions of MovieClip classes:I design my object in the IDE, for example, i add two buttons and give them the instance names "btn1" and "btn2". Then i select them together and convert them to a symbol. I then select Export for ActionScript and give them a classname, let's say "MyClass".Then I go and write a specialized MyClass.as for it, like this:
public class MyClass extends MovieClip{
private var _button1:Button;
private var _button2:Button;
[code]....
(ps: i know that i wouldn't have to assign the values to the private variables _button1 and _button2 and instead could directly make calls to btn1, but I like to use only Typesafe variables in my code)
This works very well in Flash IDE. when I create a new instance of MyClass() it will contain all the elements that i positioned in the Flash IDE when defining the Symbol. This is very convenient and straight forward.
Now I want to do the same in FlashBuilder.For this i designed the MyClass Symbol as before in Flash IDE, gave it the classname MyClass and then select the library symbol and export it to MyClass.SWC
In Flash Builder i add MyClass.SWC to the buildpath and I write a MyClass.as with the same code as in the Flash IDE example. but this time, the code won't work. on
_button1 = this["btn1"];
i will get an Error #1069 stating that "btn1" was not defined.So - how to do this properly if developing with Flash Builder? PS: i use the default package in Flash IDE when setting the Classname for the symbol as well as in FlashBuilder for the as file.

I have a software project, which involves complex process and calculation. Rather than writing it's logic and business flow in a document, i want it to be explained in some sort of animation visually, which would be easier for some one new to my project.

What is the scope of a class created in Flash? If you create a class on the main timeline, can you use it anywhere in your project? If you use your class in a a movieclip, can you use that class outside of the movie clip?

function makeCircle (e:Event):void {

First off I downloaded the picture and bitmaps for my movie clip class online and it is now part of my library as type movie clip. Then from the library I was allowed to drag it into the stage then name an instance that I could use in my as3 code. This movie clip has some animation, so when the flash is running, the graphic would be "walking" the whole time for example. This class is called "Player"
Then I realized I wanted to encapsulate more of the code in as3, and to do that I wanted to add some methods and variables to this Player class.
I right-clicked the graphic in my stage and I found "edit class". It then brings up a completely empty class definition, strangely named "script1", not even properly named as the class itself.
When I edited it and named it properly and re-compiled, it looks like I basically just re-did a brand new class from scratch as my graphics were completely gone.
At the very least I would expect the Player class to have some linking or loading of my graphic, the starting x/y coordinates (according to how I drag it on the stage), etc.
Why does it bring up a blank class document when I right-click my player? Shouldn't it bring up the code that makes "player" work as I see in the flash? How am i supposed to "append" methods to the already existing class.

I can't decide what i want to use. I've made an admin page using flex adding FAQS to a database plus some other little options.but for the user i want a FAQS search app. I initially thought i would use flex, but i've come to the conclusion Flex is only quick when using the built in components. To me flash would be easier to create an app where i could control how things will visually appear.For example in Flex would it be just as easy in flash if I were to NOT use "lists" and "datagrids?" What if i want to have a "skinless" expand and collapse type menu?

I have only one question but phrased it 3 ways:
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?

I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?

Basically I was instructed to put this code into my main timeline:
function completedPuzzleCheck(){ // add this to your main timeline
if(!numCompleted){
numCompleted=1;
} else {
numCompleted++;
[Code] .....
It all works great but the issue (on a couple puzzles like this) is that a person could move one piece 8 times into the same correct position and the "Great Job" message will pop up although the puzzle is visually incomplete.

I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

Basically, i have created a Loader class fileLoader.as into which i pass URL of the image to load from my main class and on load complete i dispatch an event from fileLoader.as class which i listen to and respond in my main application class by displaying it on the stage.All this works fine.If i go and click next button 10x, then 10 images will be loaded and displayed. However, my question now is, if i click back button to image 9, it starts loading the image again.So my question is how can i save or reference images that i have loaded already so that i can just call on them within the main application when needed and not start loading again? Can i load these images in an object or an array or just their reference?

I am able to dynamically create an object on the stage with a function, but I am at a loss for how to access and manipulate the properties of that object from my Main Class.
in my Main Class I have:
ActionScript Code:
NLP_addChild.addObject(stage)
// NLP_addChild is the other class addObject() is the function
in NLP_addChild Class appears the following:
ActionScript Code:
public static function addObject(stage:Stage)
{
var myCircle:MovieClip = new circle()
[code]....
myCircle displays correctly on the stage, myCircle is correctly assigned an x of 300. But myCircle x property cannot be assigned from my main class.
