Which is exactly what I told you to do and you brushed me off. :p
Brilliant minds think alike, Jason.

Try this instead, this is how I would do it (you have a few screwy
things in the code you posted, too many to bother commenting on :) ):
package

import flash.text.*;
public class DataCard extends MovieClip
{
public function set name(value:String):void
{
theTextField.text = value;
}
}
}
And in the .fla with the clip's class set to DataCard:
var dc:DataCard = new DataCard();
dc.name = "Hello";

Subject: [Flashcoders] Writing Custom MovieClip Classes
I have a MovieClip in my project that I put in the library.
This MovieClip is used in the application lots of times and I
"attach" it on the stage on run time when required like
var DC:DataCard = new DataCard();
DC.x = Math.random()*550;
DC.y = Math.random()*400;
addChild(DC);
In the Identifier Dialogue Box I set the Class name to
DataCard and I am trying to associate it to a Class file
DataCard.as This MovieClip has a text field for example, and
it is named "nameTF".
I want to be able to control the components of the DataCard
MovieClip from the Class Itself, in this case to change the
text in the nameTF TextField.
So in the Class I worte:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;
public class DataCard extends MovieClip {
var cardName:String;
static public function DataCard():void {
nameTF.text = cardName;
}
public function set cardName(Name:String):void {
cardName = Name;
}
}
}
It shows me many errors and it does not work.
when I tried:
public class DataCard extends MovieClip {
public function CardName(CN:String):void {
nameTF.text = CN;
}
}
and in the FLA:
var DC:DataCard = new DataCard();
DC.CardName("here is the name");
DC.x = Math.random()*550;
DC.y = Math.random()*400;
DC.name = "dataCard";
addChild(DC);
this worked. But how can I use a Constructor, setters and
getters in this case? Also how can I set the name of the
MovieClip like I would do in the FLA DC.name = "DCName"; in
the class itself?
Thanks for the Help.
