View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Runtime Override Of Method?
Nov 11, 2010Is it possible for a class to override it's own methods at runtime? I know this is possible to do in JavaScript by simply assigning a new function to the method name, but this doesn't appear to work in AS3.
Example: Let's say I have a DisplayObject with many accessors and methods. The user is allowed to load a dynamic library that overrides several of the functions and methods in the DisplayObject. As author of the DisplayObject, I have no idea what methods the user's library is going to override... only that they can. IS this possible?
The only thing I can come up with so far is to literally override every single method and accessor in the DisplayObject, then performing a check whenever they get called:

Flash :: Override A Method For A MovieClip Symbol In CS3
Mar 24, 2010I'm using flash to draw objects, then I export them and use them from flex, and I'm a beginner in flash.
I'm trying to do the override a method from the MovieClip I created. The method I'm trying to override is stop() method. I didn't write a single line of code, my movie clip is created using entirely the flash interface. I figured out how to add actions to the movie clip when a frame is reached but I'm stucked now when I'm trying to override a MovieClip method.
ActionScript 3.0 :: What Happens If Override Internal Method In Different Package
Aug 29, 2009Well, basically, you know the question already What bugs me is that I cannot get an answer to this because compiler doesn't like overriding internal functions in different packages, but, I would like to know what you think it should do, if it would have compiled?
I.e. imagine: I have foo.bar:A class and foo.abc:B class. Then foo.abc:B extends foo.bar:A.
foo.bar:A defines internal function f(). foo.abc:B overrides internal function f(). Now, the question: Can foo.abc.C call foo.abc:B#f()?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Any Possibility To Replace / Override Class Method?
Aug 20, 2009Is it possible to override/replace a method of a class in AS3? When I say "replace", I don't mean subclass it and override it. I mean I literally want to replace the existing method with my own. For instance, AS3 has the built-in HTMLLoader class which has a load method. I want to say, in essence:
HTMLLoader.load = function() { trace("Overridden"); };
Therefore, when *anybody* makes a new HTMLLoader object and calls the load method, it will call my method instead.
I've tried a couple things, and so far I've gotten this far:
HTMLLoader.prototype.load = function() { trace("Overridden") };
And I compile it with -as3=false -es=true -strict=false. The problem is it doesn't override the already-existing load method. It looks in the class first before looking in the prototype, thus making it not work. There must be a way. Even if I can't override it, can I proxy it like a decorator in Python or a macro in LISP? (So mine gets called then it gets called.)
ActionScript 3.0 :: Override Class Method With Dynamic Function?
Oct 7, 2009override a custom class method with a function expression? For instance, if I want to change the destination of a button on the fly, I could theoretically type:
Code:
var new_destination:Function = function(evt:Event):void{ go_to_new_place();};
myButtonClass.mouse_clicked = new_destination;
but unfortunately that generates an error because the class method "mouse_clicked" is already defined in my class (with the eventListener tied to it). I tried using the "override" keyword in the Function Expression but that didn't work either.
Flex :: UIComponent Extended Class Isn't Showing UIComponent Extended Class
Aug 18, 2009I have 1 class (that is extending a UIcomponent) that is representing a component. In that component I create different instances of another class that is also a UIComponent but this class doesn't show up in de first class. I see that it is running and that it has the correct hights but I got the feeling that it doesn't show up with this hights. If I trace I see the width and height is 200 X 200 but there is still nothing visible in my component.

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Update UIComponent Size?
Feb 23, 2010I've created a AS3 class which extends UIComponent so that I can easily add it to my MXML layout. It works fine, but I'm trying to figure out how to update the UIComponent width and height dynamically. I want my super UIComponent to draw a border around the content, so I need get the specific 'content' dimensions in order to do this.
I understand the idea of UIComponent is that you are supposed to specifically set the width and height... but I am literally only extending it so that I am able to use my custom component with MXML easily.Is there a method in which I can get the width and height of a UIComponents 'content'?

View 1 RepliesFlex :: UIComponent Click Handler?
May 27, 2010I'm trying to put a label and an image on a UIComponent, side-by-side. I want to use UIComponent for efficiency reasons, and the entire component is more complicated than just a button with an icon.
I'm trying to get a click handler on ther entire UIComponent so that when a click happens on either the label or the image, the same [click] event handler is called. If I add a click handler on the root component, it works, but when I introduce space between the label and the image, the space between them becomes un-clickable. I produce the space by using the move(x,y) method for the label and the image with a small gap between the x/y coordinates.

Flex :: What Is The NonInheritingStyles Property On The UIComponent For
Nov 10, 2010What is the nonInheritingStyles property for on the UIComponent?
Is this a list of styles that the component does not inherit from the container?
Or is this a list of styles that have been set inline or in code so the component is just telling me that they are NOT inheriting from the container?
If it's the first why are their values set for this properties?
Flex :: Add Uicomponent Inside A Sprite?
Apr 15, 2011i want to add UIComponent inside a spite. here is the code:
private function make() : void {
var circle : Sprite = new Sprite();
circle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 0.2);[code]......
the problem is that button is added, but is not displayed. if i do reversed - add sprite to uicomponent - everything works fine, but this way it doesn't work. i tried to use invalidate functions for button etc... even tried making "circle" as UIMovieClip, but no luck - button is still invisible. also if i simply do "addChild( button );" - it is shown,how can i add a button inside a sprite?
Flex :: Make A Protected Property Public?
Dec 29, 2009I'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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Flex Protected Functions And Vars?
Oct 11, 2009since i started using Flash Builder (Flex 4) i could see that it can auto-generate some handlers for example if i have a <s:Button> and i add a click="" i get a hint of "Generate Click Handler" and when i click Enter he writes this code:
Code:
protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
Now i knew about public and private things(functions/vars) and if a function was public i could execute it form outside of the class and inside. But if it was private i could only execute it from inside of the class and i couldn't execute it from outside of the class.
So anyway, what does "protected" mean? what does it do?I was thinking that if i load a SWF in my app I can go inside of that SWF and execute functions, read values from variables, or anything like that ... and that seems like a security problem ... So i was wondering if the "protected" keyword could help me with this security problem. And if not, I would like to know what is it good for
Flex :: Games - Using Canvas Versus UIComponent?
Oct 10, 2009For developing simple games with the Flex SDK, what are the consequences of using a Canvas object, versus a UIComponent object, as a drawing surface? Are there performance issues with either one? Are the methods generally the same? Searching around, it seems that most sample code I've found uses UIComponent. Is this just customary, or are there reasons?
I already know one odd difference - I had developed a simple Pong game using:
public class MyGameCanvas extends UIComponent
and then decided to replace UIComponent with Canvas. This caused the line to fail:
[Code]...
However, I have to confirm something, being new to Flex and the various terminology. I'm presuming that people mean I should not be using MXML for games, when they said Flex SDK. Since I thought the Flex SDK was what provided the compiler that generates .swf files. Otherwise, where/how would I even compile AS3?
Assuming that's the case, then my question would be about the suitability of using both MXML and AS3 for (simple) games. Based on what I've read about both, it seemed like the intended use of them was MXML for the interface elements, and AS3 for everything else. Is the overhead that bad for MXML?

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Flash - Custom UIComponent Disappearing?
Aug 3, 2010Extremely frustrated with this. I've created a simple class that extends the UIComponent. I create an instance of this class in a parent class and utilise the 'addChild' method to add it to the parent. I've overridden the 'updateDisplayList' method of the extended UIComponent to add my own drawing routine using the 'graphics' object.
My problem occurs when I start attempt to change any of the following properties (x , y , width, height) either directly or using 'move' or 'setActualSize' because the UIComponent will no longer display - prior to changing any of these properties the object displays fine. I know the object is still there, the 'updateDisplayList' method is still being called (as I'm calling 'invalidateDisplayList' after each change) and it correctly reports the changes.
Flex :: Drag And Drop From Datagrid To Uicomponent?
Aug 10, 2010I'm trying to drag an item from a datagrid and drop it onto a UIComponet. Basically I just want the UIComponent to know that something has been dropped onto it and allow it to access the data of the dropped item.
I thought just listening for the drop event would do it but it seems not.
I found lots of documentation on dragging from one IList to another but nothing for this.
