Using this shouldn't cause you a problem in a class definition. If you 
don't use it it generally means the same thing as this.!


gotoAndStop is not a function. I would associate with a class that did not 
extend MovieClip.


Spend some time on some OO tutorials to try and get the main concepts 
then you'll soon see how it all fits together.



Here it is!!! My first Class!

Excellent.

Thank you!


You're welcome.

Spyder, you should order Colin Moock's book toute suite:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596526946/ref=nosim/moockorg

It's essential reading for anyone interested in learning AS3.

I know
binary systems

I have been reading about OOP and how it is structured like zoology or

Im good with electronics
To be honest I am a music producer that is interested in video game

Flash is in many ways like the music software I use. I love that I can

[Flashcoders] perspectiveProjection - remove or drag an mc on a transformed sprite

2010-12-16 Thread Matt Perkins
I'm using the perspectiveProjection transformation in CS5/AS3 for the first
and I'm having a problem that I can't seem to figure out.

On the sprite I've got a scroll bar for a text area - it's a custom one not
a UIComponent. It's listening for the MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events and
simple it's a simple startDrag() to make it move. BUT it's not dragging. If
i create it without the projection it works fine, so that's what causing it.

Is there an issue with startDrag on a sprite when the parent is using a
perspectivePosition? Or how can i remove the perspectiveProject from the
sprite after the transition-in animation is completed (the only reason that
I'm using it). I've tried setting it to undefined, but that doesn't work.

Then make the parameter optional:

OR

in your function doSubmitViaEnter method call doSubmit(null)

You shouldn't be manually calling an event handler in your code.  If you want 
multiple event handler functions to run the same set of code, then create a 
third function that they all call.  

function onSomething(event:Event):void
{
doIt();
}

function onSomethingElse(event:Event)
{
doIt();
}

function doIt():void
