I am trying to write a ToggleButton Class. I can get it to work as a
document class and as as3 on timeline. But how to I use it as a symbol class?
Q. "I am guessing that the 'this' is pointing to the symbol or _mc I
attach the class to?"
Not attach, but define. The class defines the object and 'this' refers
to the one (instance) being accessed:
Let's say you use the ToggleButton class to create two instances:
public var toggleButton1:MovieClip; // **
public var toggleButton2:MovieClip;
and somewhere you call someMethod() on toggleButton1...
toggleButton1.someMethod(); // 1
or
toggleButton2.someMethod(); // 2
Then once inside someMethod(), the reserved variable 'this' would refer
to operations on toggleButton1 on line 1 and toggleButton2 on line 2.
Q. "But how to I use it as a symbol class?"
Let's say it's not the document class. Save the file ToggleButton.as. In
your new code create a new symbol called ToggleButton for the library
and in its properties you name the file ToggleButton.as
Any code after that can just declare it as in ** and use it as in 1 and 2.
Those books will be a big help.
