Xml :: Creating And Using External Classes?
Jan 5, 2012
I'm new to flash, as3 and this forum so any help would be great!I've made an xml gallery, all the movieclips and everything have been created dynamically and the images are being loaded through an xml file. Except two buttons which are in the library and have the linkage names next_btn and prev_btn.
Now what I want to do is, I have 3 categories of galleries, so I want to convert my script into a class which I can use for every type of gallery. (I hope I'm being clear)When the user clicks on gallery, a the function startGallery() is called.
I need to know how to go about it I'm pretty much clueless, I've read a WHOLE LOT of tutorials about classes but I really can't understand how to do this.

I'm new to AS3. Learning how to create classes. Is comp = new HouseObjects creating a new class? Is comp creating an instance of the HouseObjects? I realize that this is inside public class TreeHouse. I'm thinking that HouseObjects, how I set it up is not a class...not sure what the correct way to set up classes and properties.
Also I noticed, that when I tried to link another movieclip using the same linkage name HouseObjects--it asked to enter a unique class. I'm trying to create multiple instances from the same class called HouseObjects.

I know this is possible because I've seen it done somewhere or other but I have no idea what it is called. Quite simply, I want to create some dynamic classes without having external .as files for each one - I just want to declare them inside a function in my doc class.

I am attempting to use multiple AS3 timers to run a short animation in flash but I'm having a problem with some of the instances running slowly or not being removed when they are supposed to. I found a way to make things work the way I want but in being new to AS3 I believe my runtime issues are due to jumbled code.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var playerFadeTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 2, true);
var playerXTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "x", Strong.easeOut, 292, 10, 2, true);

I've always wrote all my code into the .fla and now I'm trying to use classes more. I have my file loading the document class. Then the document class imports two additional classes. In my constructor of the document class I am creating a new instance of both additional classes. Here is my doc class:
[Code]...
Now inside of the other two classes I should be able to just use main_class.myFunc(); Correct? Why isn't is working? How can I interact classes? If I create a new instance to the class I want to access then I get a stack over flow error. Inside remoting class in the constructor my code; main_class = new CheckoutMain(); main_class.myFunc();

I'm making a game which loads map .swfs at runtime. The maps will contain graphics and code, which can both vary from map to map. I've decided to make all the maps implement an interface, so they can all be used in the same way by the game. I'm using a .swc to contain the interface, like in this page.
I can get classes to work in the .swc, but not interfaces!
I'm using Flash cs5, and flashdevelop for editing, in AS3. Here's how I've been doing it:
1- create map.fla with a symbol called Map, and a Map.as:

I am starting to create classes instead of using the timeline and I am learning a lot more even if mistakes happen more often. However I have a question about linkage & library. For example let say that I have a ball pic called Ball1.mpg. I copy and past that Ball1.mpg in my folder where the Fla file is as well as the as file. If I want to utilize this Ball1.mpg in my code using Flash do I absolutely need to import into my library and link it and export using linkage? Or can I use the object Ball.1mpg just using actionscript. Of course that implies that I would use an actionscript class not the timeline.

I've been trying out small snippets of code just to practice with and get comfortable with making classes and small games.Right now I am trying to make a simple combat with Orks. Where there is a Parent Class ORK with several ORK children classes like SentryOrk, MetalOrk, etc.
The Ork class basically puts in the many stats used by the ork such as health, strength, vitality, special, luck, etc. And then the children classes modify those like Sentry Ork will have less health and more luck.I did all that fine, but the problem I have is I want there to be multiple Sentry Orks out with their own defined stats.Right now whenever I do initiate the attack one out of three orks on the screen, they all share the same health.I know what the problem is, I just don't know how to go about dynamically making each class their own?Do I have to make a whole other class to bring them onto the stage with their stats like create a new class that handles all ENEMY POP UPS? I don't see how to do that either?:

I have created a file called Config.as, in it are getter and setter methods that define variables that I need to reference throughout my system.
I have obviously made a mistake as I tried to access a variable in two files as indicated in a demo below:
Code:
package {
import Config;
public class TestOne {
[Code].....
It seems quite clear to me that I have created two instance of the Config class and that is why in class TestTwo the trace statement doesn't return "hello world". Is there a common coding practice to access the same variable with multiple classes?

I have a designer who has created a set of movie clips that I want to create instances of using ActionScript, but all I have is the name of the MovieClip as it's stated in the library (not the instance name).
Is there any way to create instances of the MovieClips using just their name? Or do I have to create separate classes for each?

Are there any tutorials available that will show me how to create a multiple class program from scratch? I have 2 classes working with a fla and when I add a 3rd class every object I create comes up as an error.1120: Access of undefined property.I'm very frustrated cause I can't figure what the problem is. I have just migrated to OOP so I'm relatively new at this.

am creating a simple flash game where you rotate a planet to make the buildings on the planet avoid incoming meteors.I was told that there is another just like it already, but I don't want to see it because it may restrict my imagination.
I have everything pretty much planned out now in a "game script" of everything that i want to happen. only thing is, i'm not sure where to start.Actually,i implemented rotating the planet and the timer so far, but that is all.I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind reading through my game script and pointing me in the right direction.I am trying to wrap my head around creating classes to handle different aspects of the game, but not sure what to put in a class and what not to.I attached the game so far and the word file

When I create anything in a library, it's basically a class right? Meaning I can do essentially the same thing with use of a package in an AS file? In AS 2.0 this would probably mean I can add specific functions on this class as I can do when I use flash's object interface and add script to the specific class object itself. However, in AS 3.0 you cannot attribute code directly to an object right?
This leads me to my second question. I basically want to create a flash mp3 player (I've coded this already), but make it so that it is an entire package of contents, so I can add it to my website when a mouse event is detected and then take it off the website once it's no longer needed (to conserve memory and assure an overall nice experience). The problem is that I have many objects and subsequent functions (play button, pause button, etc), and want all of this to be contained in one file. Is this even possible?

I have created some code in Actionscript 3 following various tutorials which is a simple media player linked to an XML file for the source information.I have found out though I need to use actionscript classes for the code and wondered is their a way to convert it to classes or does anyone know of a tutorial in actionscript 3 for creating a media player based on classes? My code is below:

I'm having some problems with importing classes in AS3. I'm kinda new to flash and programming in general. I searched on these forums and couldn't find anything in regards to importing an external class. I'm trying to import the tweener class and I used the code: import caurina.transitions.Tweener; on the first frame of the symbol I'm trying to load the class in. But I get a syntax error and an error that says "statement must appear within on/onclipevent handler".

I usually lurk, but on and off over the past 2-3 months...I've been trying to solve a problem and I can't seem to find a good solution for it. Here is my problem: - I have a SWF that acts as a Shell. This shell will contain the Design Template, the functions/class calls to make it run, and a call to the external SWF that contains all the core code classes.
- My main goal for this setup is to separate the front end Design part (which can be edited and modified relatively easily) from the core code. Now the core code is something the person making the Design Template should not have to mess with. They call it and they are done; they can now use the classes for most of the functionality they will need.
- The problem is, when I change the external SWF with the core code and distribute it... the Design Template needs to be recompiled to get any updates the external SWf core code has made. I want this to be done at runtime so that the user will not have to recompile their Design Template when the core code is updated. - Now, I've seen some people talk about a runtime library... but you have to go into the IDE and set things up a certain way or something something... I don't want that. Is there a way to make all this work in actionscript?

If I have an external .as file that contains a function within a public class, how do I call it?I have succesfully used examples, but don't understand the way they are addressed, and get errors when I try to create my own.So if my .as file named external.as contains a public class named exampleClass, which contains a function named doThis(), is it called in CS4 using..
exampleClass.doThis();
or external.doThis();
If it's just exampleClass.doThis(); - how does Flash know where to look for it without

Additional Notes:
- Yes, it must be an external SWF. My requirements are adamant about not using an .as file.
- From my tests (though a bit fuzzy and may be flawed) an include statement will work in runtime. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- I've seen some PNG encryption method for games suggested somewhere. I haven't tried this (because encryption isn't the main goal...), but in theory, would this make the code from an updated core code external SWF refresh in realtime without recompiling the Design Template SWF file?
