Flash :: Specify The Order That FlashBuilder Searches For Class Definition?
Sep 9, 2011
I have two Flash Builder projects. Let's call them MainWeb and MainAIR. MainWeb defines and includes all of the classes for my application including a runtime loaded module that interfaces with our web services. MainAIR's Source Path references MainWeb/src and includes only two unique parts. The first file is of course the root MXML document. The other file overrides a compiled, runtime module defined in MainWeb called DataStreamer. DataStreamer interfaces with our web services for MainWeb and the alternate version of DataStreamer interfaces with the OS filesystem for MainAIR. This makes a very easy to maintain pair of projects and easy to build both the web version and the AIR version of my application.
It has worked well until I needed to add an instance of mx.controls.Image. Image references SWFLoader and loads resource/content swfs at runtime. Some of those resources have executable code, so I needed to do the following:

I have an array of objects which uses a delimited string as the keys. When examined in the FB4 debugger, the keys look like this:[code]The first two items are numeric (cast to string) but the third item in the multi-part delimited key is naturally a string -- it's like an alphanumeric library shelf reference. As expected, when you click on the [+] icon in the debugger, you can view the object associated with that string key. So far so good.The debugger shows the keys in the (pre-sorted) order in which they were added to the array. However, when iterating the object array so:[code]the keys are returned in some other order --internal hash? My question is, how does the debugger know the order the keys were added in, and can I access that knowledge at runtime when iterating the array? I want to iterate the objects in the order in which they were added. Or do I need to maintain my own index of these keys showing the order they were added to the associative array?

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'm trying to implement CSVLib in an Air application and am getting an error that seems wholly illogical to me. "1120: Access of undefined property csv." and "1120: Access of undefined property completeHandler."
The only thing I can think is it's not importing the csv class properly, or the class itself is broken somehow? I know my import path is correct because I typed it out directly based on automatic hinting. The code below is copied directly from the how-to wiki on the csv lib site.

I'm trying to encapsulate a package so that classes, properties, and methods that have no meaning outside of the project aren't accessible. They do, however, have to be accessible by other classes in the project, so internal is insufficient - the internal properties of parent.foo.AClass can't be accessed byparent.bar.AnotherClass. I was under the impression that namespaces could solve this problem, so I tried this:
//Class in top level package, where we make our namespaces
package parent {
public namespace myproject;

Any way that I could get a variable definition straight from a class (or some sort) without having to create an object and read it from the object. Basically I need to know a whether an object will have a specific true or a false variable definition but I don't need to create the object right away for anything else. It seems a bit of extra processing to create an object I may not use for sometime but just needed to know a true/false early on. I can give it the name of the class just hoping to bypass the object creation and hope garbage deletion will take care of it.

I came across the following issue:
- I am loading a particular FLA (let's call it Module1.fla) which contains a Symbol with an associtated class "FakeImage1"; the class file DOES NOT exist,s Flash creates it when compiling the FLA. This FLA has a Document Class (Module1.as), in which I instantiante FakeImage1 (which is a different asset/graphic) by calling ...new FakeImage1()
- then, I am using a custom ModuleManager to unload Module1 and load another SWF (Module2.swf/Module2.as). This one also has a FakeImage1 Symbol in it's Library and also instantiates it in the Document Class.
- now, assuming that I am correctly unloading Module1 (in my ModuleManager) before I load Module2, why is it that FakeImage1 in Module2 is instantiating the same asset that was instantiated in Module1 ?It seems that the automatically-created FakeImage1 class is still in memory (or wherever Flash puts it) when I load Module2 and therefore, my *new* asset isn't being loaded - instead, the first one is.
Note1: I DON'T want to use class/as files for my Library symbols;
Note2: of course, I could just use different class names in my modules/flas, but le'ts assume that I don't want to do that

I'm trying to rewrite a procedural ActionScript program as an OOP one: in the procedural version I set up event handlers for movieclips on the stage with a loop and it worked fine.However, when I put these event handlers in a class definition, it's no good. Simplified version below, which is just supposed to make a sound when the user clicks on the boxclass definition:
class Event_stuff {
var nLpCntr1:Number = 0;
var nNumberOfChoiceBoxes:Number = 3;wrong use of terminology

I get this confusing message every time I start a new flash project and I dont know why. I understand what the message means, but its simply not true so that bugs me. My project so far consists of exactly one AS file so far: CMain.as, which contains exactly one public class: CMain. The file lives here: C:FlashProjGameasCMain.as. n my .FLA, I have set CMain as the Document class. In File->Publish Settings->ActionScript 3.0 ClassPath, I have added "C:FlashProjGameas".
When I press "OK" from this screen, I get this message: "A definition for the document class could not be found in the classpath, so one will be automatically generated in the SWF file upon export." On my last projects I think I have just ignored this message and everything worked out ok. But this time I want to know what the hell it means. My CMain class is definetly in the classpath, so what the heck is this message talking about?

I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?

Is there any way for movieClips to share the same class definition?When you have alot of objects to keep track of it becomes a pain to have to write separate actionscript files to do the same thing.For example if I:Create an actionScript file which extends movieClip with the name ClassX.as with all the nescessary code incased in package{}I try properties>export for actionscript>ClassX.as for two movie clips (each with different graphics).An error occurs on the 2nd movieClip complaining that the class I used was not unique. y other question is how do I make an actionscript file file that both extends a movieClip and another class.For example:In a game there is a movieClip for an enemyShip1 with its own class definition contained in an actionscript file (defining its behavior)There are 2 child objects enemyShip2A and enemyShip2B each of which have there own images,class definition but which inherit all the functions from the enemyShip1Class.It would seem that the logical thing to do would be:
package
{
//import extentions.*

I've used the GUI to create a rectangle that I turned into a button symbol (SimpleButton). I then edited the button so that it had 4 different button states and a text layer on top. I then created a class definition file for this object so that I could dynamically change the label text (the text layer) when adding instances of this button to the stage.
I was able to create and link a class file (DynamicButton.as) just fine, but when I try to access the text field that I created on the button, I get the error:
"Access of possibly undefined property btnLabel through a reference with static type com.examples:DynamicButton."
when i couldn't get that to work, I decided I'd try adding the TextField directly within the class definition file, using the following code:
package com.examples
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
[Code].....
The problem is that I can't seem to add the TextField to the SimpleButton, as it's not a display object. So, I tried adding it to the parent of the simple button (and I figured, I'd just place it exactly above the button). But then I get a "null object reference." error.
is there a way to access GUI-created elements from w/i a class definition file? How would I add the TextField to the button using only AS3 inside of a my class definition file?

I'd like to access the stage of the main timeline from w/i a class that extends a movieclip. Basically, I have a button in the main timeline that makes a HUD appear. The HUD is an extended MovieClip class. When people click on a button in the HUD, I'd like to remove the object from the stage of the main MovieClip.I think your confusion may come from the fact that I am running this code from a class definition file. Clicking on a button w/i this object should remove it from the DisplayList of the MainTimeline. Here's the code from the class definition file:
package classes {
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
trace(e.currentTarget.parent.parent) gets me the MainTimeline, and trace(e.currentTarget.parent.parent.stage) appears to return the main stage, but I cannot use removeChild w/o getting an error that I am trying to coerce the stage to be a DisplayObject (which it ought to be).What's on the stage of the MainTimeline: A single button that, when clicked, adds an instance of the Answers class to the stage.

I need to know how to load and play a sound from within a CLASS definition file. I know the normal way of doing this, but Flash MX rejects that syntax, so there must be some special way of using sounds in a class file.
I need to know how to code for "if the score increases by any value." So, if the score goes from 0 to 1, the sound plays ONCE. If it increases from 1 to 2, the sound plays ONCE again.
