Flash :: Property With A Public Getter And Protected Setter?
Sep 9, 2011
Is it possible to have a property with a public getter and protected setter? I have the following code:
public class Mob extends Sprite {
// snip
private var _health:Number; // tried making this protected, didn't work
public function get health():Number { return _health; }
protected function set health(value:Number):void {
[Code]...
I did have this.health -= dmg; but I split it out to get more details on the compiler errors. I don't understand how the property would be considered read-only within the same class. I also don't understand how it's inaccessible. If I make the backing field, getter, and setter all protected, it compiles but it's not the result I want; I need health to be readable externally.

I'm trying to extend a class like panel so that I can fire click events only when the title area is clicked on. The title area is a protected uicomponent of Panel called titleBar. So I want to make that component public.It seems like I'm almost there but I'm getting a "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." when it tries to add an event listener to the titlebar.
here is my extended panel
package custClass{
import mx.containers.Panel;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class ExtPanel extends Panel{
[code]....
And then this in the AS:
newPanel.getTitleBar().addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,over);
Still getting the same error.

I'm having trouble updating a property value of a custom class (SubLoader) using a getter and setter. Inside the if() statement of the main fla you can see my attempt to set the percent value. Running a trace() method before the if() statement always outputs '0' for some reason. Tracing after the if() statment outputs an actual value. I can't figure out why the percent property always traces as '0' before the if statement even though I am updating it with each progress event.

I seem to have run into a situation where when I push a value to an array held within a singleton via a getter/setter , Flash seem so access the getter over the setter method. Within my command/controller (I am using RobotLegs)
override public function execute():void {
// various line of code here
//Place screenshot image into an array from model for later reference.
model.unitScreenshots.push(screenShot); // screenshot is just a Bitmap object
}
The getter and setter within my model e.g. robot legs singleton
public function get unitScreenshots():Array {
return _unitScreenshots;
} public function set unitScreenshots(value:Array):void {
_unitScreenshots = value;
}
When I set a break point on both the getter and setter, only the getter method is being called, why? I would think that a push value on the array would trigger the setter, not the getter.

I'm trying to create a property that can be set by extending classed and read publicly.I couldn't think of a good naming convention for a protected property with a public getter, so I tried to do this:
public function get name():String{ return _name; }
protected function set name(string:String):void
{[code]......
However I get the error (when trying to set name in an extending class): 1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property name through a
reference with static type testing:TestComponent.1059: Property is read-only.
If I change the setter to public, it works fine.

I recently completed a tic-tac-toe game in AS3, using some simple function-based code I had written in C many years ago.Now I'm on a quest to do it the "right way" using OOP techniques and best practices.Everything is now divided into neat little packages, it looks pretty, and the last part of my journey is to get all the little buggers to communicate with each other.I want to move the code which holds the game state from my main to it's own class in com.okaygraphics.model.GameState.The problem is nearly every other package gets and sets these game state properties.I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to encapsulate this stuff, while still allowing my other classes to access it.
1) Do I need a constructor? I mean, my program will never have more than one GameState. If I should call my getters/setters as instance methods, how do I get each other class to reference the SAME instance from their respective packages?
2) Do I even need getters and setters? Perhaps the class could just have 3 public properties? If so, how would I acheive the proper scope with regard to my other classes?
3) Should I assign everything to the class itself using the static keyword? If so, how would I implement and use those static methods?
4) Is this a mistake? Did I totally just program myself into a corner?

I have two functions one that sets and one that gets a number. The set one works, but the get one doesn't. I have it trace the set it returns the correct number, but when I set the getY function, it doesn't give me anything at all. When i took the number out of the trace it just gave me back only text. What am I doing wrong here?

I have written a class, which is basically a textfield for forms. It will eventually have several validation modes built into it too, which will be set by setting a property of the object.anyway, my problem. Basically my setters are empty if the movie is used as a loaded swf within another movie.I have an Event listener within the class listening for the Event.ACTIVATE event (still not sure exactly what this does...) though i do know that i need this in place for the setters/getters to work.If i create objects from my class, set some properties everything is spot on, though the moment i load this working movie into another movie the Event.ACTIVATE does not fire.[code]Now, if i run this movie its perfect - everything works as it should, right down to the validation.however, this movie is to be used within another movie. When i load this movie into a parent movie my fields aren't added to the movie.

I'm trying to make a class that extends the Sprite, have some private properties attached to it and be able to read and write those properties using getters and setters. Simple... but the compiler throw this error "Access of possibly undefined property speed through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite."It works if I set my class to extend the MovieClip object.Could someone explain me the logic behind this? why I can't use getter and setters with a Sprite?Here is a sample code:

The generally used workaround for this, is to use a regular function instead of a getter/setter. This results in having to have ( ) after the function variable obviously. The question is, can a Function variable be assigned to a getter/setter function and retain its attribute of not needing brackets.
Below is some Pseudo code representing the question:
#########################################################
public class Foo(){
private var prop:Object;
public function get Prop():Object{return prop;}

Is it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).

In my project I've defined a Point class to build Point objects. I also built a Polygon class with a (private) array property, Points. The polygon class contains a method getPoints() which return the current Points array. My objective is to built one or more Polygon objects and assign several Point objects to the Polygon's Points array. Let's say I've created two Polygon objects, plgPolygon01 and plgPolygon02. To both objects I insert three new Point objects into the Points array.
As I call the plgPolygon01.getPoints() method, i expect to get an array with three values. But when I do this, I get an array with six values. So I conclude: while I was inserting Point objects into the Points array of a Polygon object, this Points array seems to be public instead of private. Otherwise, I'd only get the Points I assigned to the first Polygon object and not all the Points assigned to polygons.

I have the following inheritance structure:

environment.addChild(new Player());
I am trying to access a public property from AvEniroments class through the Player class, however I'm getting an undefined property error (#119). I've tried the following:
this.x = AvEnvironment.xs // public property in this class
this.x = parent.xs
I've also tried something like this:
var ev:AvEnvironment = AvEnvironment(parent);
this.x = ev.xs
but I get a TypeError. Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
