Re: [flexcoders] custom effect in Flex Builder 2

[Peter Elst]

Thanks for those pointers Phil -- it still gives me a "base class not found"
error in the AS file (on the class definition) when I try to make it
public. I've got my updated code below.  

The strange thing is that if I do an import of mx.effects.* first and
extend TweenEffect it doesn't give that base class error but "conflict
with inherited definition target in namespace public" for the target
property and "incompatible override" and "overriding function that is
not marked for override" for the playEffect method.


testEffect.mxml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="com.peterelst.*">    
  <mx:Effect>
    <Rotate name="myRotateEffect" rotateBy="1000" duration="1000" />
  </mx:Effect>
  <mx:Image id="myAnimation" source="@Embed('flash_platform.jpg')" mouseDownEffect="myRotateEffect" />
</mx:Application>


Rotate.as

package com.peterelst {

    public class Rotate extends mx.effects.TweenEffect {
        
       var target:Object;
       var rotateBy:Number;
       var rotateTween:mx.effects.Tween;
           
       function Rotate(targetObj:Object)   {
          target = targetObj;
       }
           
       function playEffect():Void   {
            rotateTween = new mx.effects.Tween(this, target._rotation,
            target._rotation+rotateBy, duration);
       }
           
       function onTweenUpdate(tweenValue):Void   {
          target._rotation = tweenValue;
       }
           
    }

}

You have to mark your class public.
 
The default in AS3 is private, so that's why your MXML page 
can't see it.
