I loaded external swf named child.swf from parent.swf. i am having a function called parentFunction() in parent.swf. I want to call parentFunction() from child swf.
To my knowledge, there are 3 options:1 - parent.publicPropertyOrMethod.2 - using static vars/methods.3 - dispatching events.Under best practise for OOP development, which is the "best" method? Are there any more?I dislike #1 and never use it as it and can easily descend into hideous parent.parent.parent references that are easily broken. #2 has it's own problems whereby attempting to get/set instance variables doesn't always work through a static function (I am yet to completely understand this). #3 is great for triggering methods (I use this the most) but sucks for altering class properties and suchlike.
I have a custom class called ToolBar which is attached to a library item. The library item has other clips within it and each is an instance of ToolBarButtonA, B, C etc and these all extend the generic class ToolBarButton. If I set an event handler for CLICK within each ToolBarButton to trace 'parent' it comes back [Object ToolBar] which is what I expected but if I try to then call a method through 'parent.methodName()' it fails saying 'call to possibly undefined method'
I seem to recall that Loader.unload() could once be used to stop loading a swf before it had finished loading. I can no longer find documentation or the blog where I read this. Perhaps it was an unofficial feature. Anyhow, IModuleInfo, returned by ModuleManager.getModule() has an unload() method. If I want to halt loading a Flex Module that is in progress, do I just call iModuleInfo_instance.unload()?
Currently optimizing an application at work. There are many files in some of the module projects that are not used by the exported (release build) Module.swf's. Are these unused files included in the swf's?
And I call my itemRenderer from an application like: list_groups_modify.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(groups.list_groups_modify_item_renderer); <mx:Label text="{data.label}" textAlign="center" maxWidth="60" toolTip="{data.label}"/>
Is it possible to call a child function from within the parent? I know to go child > parent, you can do parentApplication.functionName(parameters);, but what about going the other way... that is parent > child?
It's coming from this line of code:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == nNode.parent().@question_questionID)[0];nNode is an XML node sent as an argument to the function this is called in. The code runs,and does everything expected but the compiler sends out that warning. Do I have some formatting issue?P.S. I've tried telling it that it's XML like this:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == XML(nNode).parent().@question_questionID)[0];
I need it in FlexUnit to test private methods. Is there any possibility to do this via reflection by using describeType or maybe flexUnit has some build in facility? I dislike artificial limitation that i cannot test private functions, it greatly reduces flexibility. Yes it is good design for me to test private functions, so please do not advise me to refactor my code. I do not want to break the encapsulation for the sake of unit testing.
In my Flex 4.5 application I have a TitleWindow Settings.mxml, which is popped up by the PopUpManager.Once the user has changed some settings, I not only need to save them to a SharedObject, but also to apply them to the main Application itself - so that the changes are visible to the user immediately.For example I need to call its method hideApp(somevalue);
The spark.components.Application does not seem to have any static/singleton methods to get ahold of it.So how do you do it? how to declare, that an MXML file implements one or several interfaces?
package { public interface Hiddable { function hideApp(value:Number):void;[code]....
besides the main Application I have a SettingsTest.mxml Application in my project for"unit testing" that particular functionality.
In my application I have a viewstack which I am changing via actionscript using the selectedChild attribute. The problem I run into is that I want to call a method in the component that is now the selected child in the viewstack, right after I assign it to be the child it gives me a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." Is there some way that I can make this work without changing the creationPolicy to all?
Actionscript:
public function displayTaskDashboard(evt:Event):void { pm_viewstack.selectedChild = nc_taskDashboard; taskDashboard.populateTasks(Globals.currentProject.Project_ID);
I am using RemoteObjects to call ZendAMF PHP from Flex/Flash Builder 4.6. I want to stop or abort a method call before it sends the request to the server based on an event or similar.
I have a class where I create and store all the RemoteObjects - for example:
activityLogService = new RemoteObject("zend"); activityLogService.endpoint=endpointServer; activityLogService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,faultHandler);
Then later I can simply call this object:
remotingService.activityLogService .getRecords();
I am trying to find a way in my remotingService object to stop the request - and not send anything to the server - for example if some variables are not set properly.
I noticed there is an invoke event: activityLogService.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE,invokeHandler);
However, I can not tell if that's going to stop things at the proper point, or if it's even possible to actually STOP the request - if so, how?
I would like to learn Adobe Flex mobile development.I have created a new project called SampleProject, then I got SampleProject.mxml in default package and SampleProjectHomeView.mxml.[code]How can I call the add and sub methods from the class above in SampleProjectHomeView.mxml?
I wrote a singleton class to keep track of some variables across my application.
I am getting a syntax error that I can't figure out, I am sure that I am missing something simple but it's been one of those days. Anyone see something wrong with my code?
The error is 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setResult through a reference with static type Class.
My function in my singleton class
public function setResult(resultNumber:int, value:int): void { switch(resultNumber) {
I'm tryng to make a public static method call another method, but Flash throws error 1180, sayng that the method called by the static method is undefined.
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
I have a class. I can call the constructor (initialize the class), and the constructor can then call a function/method inside it's own class (so I know it works), but when I try to call the same function/method myself from the instance of the class I just initialized, I get an error.
I'm trying to define interface in which one method (initPage) needs to have different arguments in every implementation. How can I do this? Using ...args for me is not good, because I'm loosing strong type checking.[code]
I keep getting this error when I try to implement an interface:"Interface method bar in namespace Foo not implemented by class Test".As far as I know, I've correctly added all methods from the interface.[code]I'm using mxmlc.exe to compile in the flex sdk.
I have created a modular application. I have two modules, for example Module1 and Module2.I have loaded these modules in my application. I am using Parsley in my application. I have loaded separate different context builder in both modules.
But when I am dispatching event from Module1, I am able to listen that event in that Module1 but I am trying to listen that event in another Module2. I am not able to listen that event in that Module2 through Parsley.
I have a issue where I'm working with a particular interface for quite a lot of things. However, I have a particular method that I want to be available only to a particular group of classes (basically, an internal method). [code]...
