Re: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
The reason for my problem was that I was declaring the same identifier name inside the movies that were loading. My logic was saying that if they were being loaded in different levels and targets that this wouldnt be an issue but I was mistaking. Thanks again for the help and pointers. -h On 4/4/07, Helmut Granda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks for the feedback guys, let me go back a little to explain why this behavior.

RE: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
Jason - I'm pretty sure this is NOT in conflict, but still not good practice. Since target:MovieClip is a variable local to the constructor, you just have to access the class target:Application by using this.target. In this case, the class's target:Application variable is never touched and remains undefined. var target : Application; public function Application ( target:MovieClip ) { trace( target ) // MovieClip trace( this.target ) // Application } To test the theory, try: target = 5; function traceTargets ( target:String ) { trace( target ) // a_string trace( this.target ) // 5 } traceTargets ( 'a_string' ); _ Jesse Graupmann www.jessegraupmann.com www.justgooddesign.com/blog/ _ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 3:26 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class >>target is a movieclip, this helps me to instantiate the class >>in the place I desire Right - so then to remove any potential conflicts, take out: >>> var target: Application; Jason Merrill Bank of America GT&O Learning & Leadership Development eTools & Multimedia Team ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

target is a movieclip, this helps me to instantiate the class in the place I desire for example: var upsApp:Application = new Application(this); var upsApp:Application = new Application(movie1); var upsApp:Application = new Application(movie2); Learned that this week :) On 4/4/07, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Also, you are casting the same variable twice: var target: Application; public function Application ( target:MovieClip ) mc = target; is target an application or a movieclip?
