Is init() function run once you instantiate it? For example:

Another question is: What's the difference between MovieClip, Shape and Sprite classes and when is it appropriate to use each?
I'm a total noob using the Facebook Graph API for AS3. I have a Flash game and the idea is to upload it to Facebook, and everything seems to be ok (When entering the Facebook app, the swf shows perfectly and I'm able to post the facebook user id, the user name and the score to a database in the server where the game is located. I intend the game to automatically post to the user feed what he/she had score, but after making a lot of tests I found out that the method is simply not running.[code]
View 1 RepliesI used to work on AS2 to make my animations, buttons and portfolios, but now I needed to use AS3 to make some forms interact with some PHP script. TextInputs and Buttons on COMPONENTS are working and interacting normally with PHP. My PreLoader is working great too. But what should the easiest is not working: MY SIMPLE BUTTONS! It used to be so easy in AS1 and 2, but now on AS3 it's not working. I am putting all my action and codes in a ACTIONS FRAME in the top of my animation, but it is not working! I have my Preloader on my frame 1 working, calling my animation on frame 2. The code is here (it's working):

I am calling [url]...........to log in to facebook using the actionscript api (as explained in this tutorial: http:[url]...... But, it does not seem to do anything.Looking at the API source, the only call that is made to JS is
ExternalInterface.call('FBAS.init', JSON.encode(options));
The two javascript libraries which are required are: http:[url].....
However, i cannot find any reference to FBAS in these libraries. Am I even using the correct libraries? Is there another reason I have missed as to why FBAS doesnt exist? or even why calling Facebook.init() does nothing?
why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.
package com.parkerandkent.components.classic.photogallery {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
"Test 2" will not fire here.And I get this error message:
CallTag.as , Line 10 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method init.
So I have searched, found some similar errors but unfortunately no resolution to the problem. I am writing an iPad game, and for optimisation I have created an assets reference class called R, following the example of a tutorial from gotoAndLearn. My error fires when I try to access the first static BitmapData from R, and oddly points to the class declaration line:
[Code]...
If I try commenting the access to R._l1Background (thus making the latter function do nothing) I still get similar errors when other functions try accessing R's properties. I might (most likely) have other errors in my code, but for the moment this is keeping me from debugging the rest of the game. I will ask my teachers about this and forward any lead or solution they come up with, as well as the results of my own researches.

I am guessing it must be a font that Flash doesn't likes, but I don't know how to find it. I have FontAgent Pro installed, and it shows no corrupt fonts.
I have 2K+ fonts installed, and %90+ of them are Adobe FontFolio fonts. Others are standard Windows fonts, and a few commercial ones purchased from MyFonts.com
Anyone have any solution for this? Less ridiculous than uninstalling all the fonts and re-installing them in small packs, like 10 by 10, to find which ones are no-good.
Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks runs smoothly without any error, so I think this MUST be a bug in flash CS4.
Edit: The version is CS4 10.0.2
I'm creating my first as3 with flashdevelop I don't understand what the instructions mean:

What if (stage) init(); means ? What is Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE ? Why remove listener in init ?
I have a bunch of variables I need to pass to some class from frame where I instance classes. Is there any other way do make Class read that variable values beside this?

var _minTopMargin:Number = 30;

View 2 RepliesImagine I have a game with a base Entity class, with an init method that takes no arguments. Now I have a Wizard class, but I want to pass in 2 parameters, say speed and strength. In AS3 (and I believe Java and C#) I will not be allowed to do this - it is an "incompatible override" because the method signatures won't match. Now I could just make an "initWizard" method instead, but then I have the problem of the init method of each class potentially having different names. I need solutions that work in AS3, Java or C#.
View 2 RepliesFollowing a previous error (#1009) I had when trying to load a swf from a preloader, I now get this error
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on SlidingIcons/init(). Expected 0, got 1.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
at preloader_fla::MainTimeline/done()
[code]....
I've got a really weird problem that I've boiled down to its fundamentals, and I'm hoping that someone here smarter than I am knows why AS3 would be acting this way. Attached is a ZIP with a few FLAs and .AS files. I'm using Flash CS5. Please bear with me as I explain the situation.
I have a class called TestChildA:
package testing
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]...
For some reason, the fact that we're not trying to obtain a TestChildA reference allows the Frame 0 ActionScript in TestChildA.swf to execute properly. TestChildB, on the other hand, continues to fail Frame 0 execution since we're still getting a reference to it.
As we saw in the first version of the INIT handler above, querying the test_str variable out of the loaded content directly without trying to cast it worked fine. Why is it that using 'as' to get a specific reference to the content with the proper class results in the Frame 0 script of that content to fail running? Theoretically, the Frame 0 actions should have already been executed prior to reaching the INIT handler anyway, so it's doubly confusing.
If anyone has a better understanding than I of the ActionScript internals and can explain the reason for this issue,
The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.

There doesn't seem to be any documentation on the static method "init()" and the static constant "length" of the Object class. Does anyone have any more insight into these?
View 2 RepliesI've googled this and come up empty. All I am trying to do is create a netstream and assign a group to it like so:
var netstream;
var groupSpec;
groupSpec = new GroupSpecifier("foo");
trace("groupSpec: "+ groupSpec);
[Code]...
If I remove the groupSpec optional parameter I successfully connect the NetStream. According to the docs [on this page] I should be able to identify a GroupSpecifier in the NetStream constructor.
Is this a bug? Is there another way to do this?

View 1 RepliesI have a collection of Objects in an ArrayCollection in my flex page.
What is the best approach to send this data to a Java Servlet?
The object in the ArrayCollection is a VO that consists of an id and message for now. I want a solution that is scalable in case more properties are added later on.
I am passing some parameters as POST to a Servlet from my Flex WebApplication. I am able to pass and retrieve strings properly. I used new Date().getTime() in my flex code and tried passing the timestamp variable hoping to parse it at the servlet and convertit into a java.util.Date object. But i am getting a NumberFormatException when i try to parse the variable from the string that i got from request.getParameter.

I'm developing a compiler generator in actionscript 3 with flash builder 4. I need to find a way to:
1.- Execute code inside of a string.
it could be very complex code, not just trace() functions but complete code
2.- Another alternative can be to tell to the actionscript compiler to compile the code autogenerated from my compiler generator.
how can I execute different rows of a function at different time.
E.g.
ActionScript Code:
function ContentIn():void {
//First execute this line
[Code].....
Can you make httprequests in flex the same way one does with AJAX? I would like my flex page to access a database on the web or a servlet.
View 2 RepliesI use fileReference.download() to download files. The fileReference send request to java servlet.In servlet, some error may be checked. For example error - 'File not found'. I want to send the error to flex side. I tried lots of methods,but fileReference in flex can't receive them.Such asresponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND, "File not found");r PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter(); out.print("File not found");It seems fileReference can't triggers event 'DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA' and'HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS'.
