Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
This looks like a lot of very strange stuff is going on in the design of this
code. I think you should explain what you want to do at a very high level so we
can see if there is a better and simpler way to accomplish it. (I can't figure
out where the Delegate mentioned in the subject line is coming from, either.)

Because that's not how delegate works exactly :) - there is no scope
address to resetWin3 inside of the tween.onMotionChanged event. Instead
you should do it like this:
myTween.onMotionChanged = Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3)
If you want to pass an argument to the function then that's easy enough:
var myDel:Object = myTween.onMotionChanged = Delegate.create(scope,
resetWin3)
myDel.myArgument = "hello"
then in the resetWin3 function:
function resetWin3():Void
{
myVar = arguments.caller.myArgument
}

Correction in my sample code

var playOnce:Boolean = true;
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time > .2) && playOnce == true) {
//correction
Delegate.create(this, nextFunction);
playOnce = false;
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
You are correct, and it all seems clear now and working as expected, the
only guy that I cant understand is the Tween class and the way i can pass a
refrence of the main class inside it.
I have learend that this works
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, myNextFunction);
but I am triggering other functions in the middle of the Tween
//code sample
var playOnce:Boolean = true;
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time > .2) && playOnce == true) {
Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3);
playOnce = false;
}
}
//end of sample
Which of course doesnt want to cooperate, I have tried to pass a reference
of the class into the Tween but still it wants to use itself as a reference
rather than the refence passed into it. Any Ideas? I will keep googling in
the mean time...

To make a movie clip animate itself, using myClass extends MovieClip,
you can just use "this" which is an instance of the movieClip. i.e.
this._x += 10;

RE: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
If class has it's own variables, just use them inside the class- but if you want to Extend movieClip and expect it to know about variables outside it's scope, well, that's breaking OOP AFAIK, classes only know about themselves. Instead, you will want to use a central composition class and refer to movie clip instances instead of subclassing movieClip. At least as I see it - others may have some different ideas. To make a movie clip animate itself, using myClass extends MovieClip, you can just use "this" which is an instance of the movieClip. i.e. this._x += 10; Jason Merrill Bank of America GT&O Learning & Leadership Development eTools & Multimedia Team >>-Original Message- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf >>Of Helmut Granda >>Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 9:30 AM >>To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com >>Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated >> >>Oh, and I forgot an important point, the reson why I want to >>find the scope of the class is because inside the class there >>are variables that talk to each other and I can have them >>talk back and forth like this >> >>_level0.instance1.myVariable = "blah"; >> >>but this of course wont work when the movie is loaded into a >>new movie because the reference will be lost and changes to >> >>_level0.movieHolder.instance1.myVariable = "blah"; >> >>and of course it breaks the app. >> >>Thanks again, >>-h >> >>On 4/3/07, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> >>> Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything >>> outside of them, (unless of course you import some other >>class - then >>> they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope >>> reference).

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
So I figured it out or at least I think I did,
private var target: myClass;
function myClass(){
target = this;
}
now I can reference to properties within a class without breaking the app.
So in the same lines, is there anyway to code the classe so that we don't
have to reference to the properties and methods within the class without
having to say
target.objectA._x = 130;
but just have
objectA._x = 130;
Thanks

_level0.instance1.myVariable = "blah";
but this of course wont work when the movie is loaded into a new movie
because the reference will be lost and changes to
_level0.movieHolder.instance1.myVariable = "blah";
and of course it breaks the app.
Thanks again,

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
Oh, and I forgot an important point, the reson why I want to find the scope of the class is because inside the class there are variables that talk to each other and I can have them talk back and forth like this _level0.instance1.myVariable = "blah"; but this of course wont work when the movie is loaded into a new movie because the reference will be lost and changes to _level0.movieHolder.instance1.myVariable = "blah"; and of course it breaks the app. Thanks again, -h On 4/3/07, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything outside of them, (unless of course you import some other class - then they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope reference).

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
Hey Jason, All Im trying to do is run some animation inside a movieclip but without instantiating the class. So what I do instead is just add a MovieClip on stage that has a link to a class and it knows exactly what to do rather than having to instantiate it manually. BTW, I read your previous post that talks about classes talking to each other, it is something I am trying to acomplish as well. -h On 4/3/07, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything outside of them, (unless of course you import some other class - then they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope reference).

RE: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything outside of them, (unless of course you import some other class - then they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope reference).
