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.

behavior. I am trying to implement the MVC Design Pattern to a item. Trying
to do it properly I am creating my Views as classes and now I wanted to
integrate them into my layout.
View 1 Class = menu
View 2 Class = content
Holder loads View 1 and View 2
Now View 1 has animation as well as View 2 and when tested independently
they work great (SWFs) but when they are loaded into the main holder the
last SWF plays leaving the first SWF without any animation. Now the
animation is being handled with AS so there is no animation in the timeline.
Thanks again for the help. Now I'll go back and read the 10 books that
cover the subject :)

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' );

Subject: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
I have a main class that will act as a holder for the rest of
my classes, somethig like this:
//start sample
import com.views.*;
class com.Application {
var menuL: MovieClip;
var contentLL: MovieClip;
var footerL: MovieClip;
var mc : MovieClip;
var target: Application;
public function Application ( target:MovieClip ) {
mc = target;
menuL = mc.createEmptyMovieClip(menuL,
mc.getNextHighestDepth() );
contentLL= mc.createEmptyMovieClip(contentL,
mc.getNextHighestDepth());
contentLL._y = 73;
init();
}
private function init() {
contentLL.loadMovie(intro.swf);
menuL.loadMovie(menu.swf);
}
}
//end sample
The content load perfectly but only the latest movie plays as
if the latest movie stealed all the motion Tweens and used
them leaving the first movie naked.
Is this something common?

Both movies have regular scripted tweens. so that is why I am afraid they

Re: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
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 :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
Both movies have regular scripted tweens. so that is why I am afraid they are conflicting with each other Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure I can picture what: the latest movie plays as if the latest movie stealed all the motion Tweens and used them leaving the first movie naked looks like, but you may have conflicting identifers which over-write each other or something. Hard to say without knowing more about your setup.
