Re: [flexcoders] getDefinitionByName and gotoAndPlay
That's close to the truth, I think. As a colleague of mine pointed out, objects on frame1 were already initialized before the constructor is executed while objects on another frame need some time (usually 1 frame) to become initialized as well. So my solution will be to avoid gotoAndStops as much I can and work with single frame symbols. Matthias 2007/11/21, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm pretty sure that gotoandplay just advances the playhead and doesn't execute the script on that frame until your script finishes so the widgets it creates won't be ready right after the call. -- *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Matthias Dittgen *Sent:* Wednesday, November 21, 2007 8:13 AM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [flexcoders] getDefinitionByName and gotoAndPlay Hello, I am loading a SWF into my application, which I created in FlashCS3.

[flexcoders] getDefinitionByName and Databinding
Hello there and happy New Year,
I'm having problems with dynamic instances and databinding.
Here a little example:
ExtLabel.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Label xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; text={this.name}
/mx:Label
That is just a simple Label-Component printing out its name.
If I now initialize that label in my main.mxml everything works fine:
main.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute applicationComplete=init()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import Test.ExtLabel;
public function init():void {
var label:Object = new ExtLabel();
addChild(DisplayObject(label));
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
But if I use getDefinitionByName to dynamically create an instance of
ExtLabel I get a Null-reference exception:
main.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute applicationComplete=init()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function init():void {
var labelClass:Class =
flash.utils.getDefinitionByName(Test.ExtLabel) as Class;
var label:Object = new labelClass();
addChild(DisplayObject(label));
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
I'm using the compiler directive --includes to include the class so
that's not the problem.
The problem seems to be the databinding text={this.name}. If I get rid
of it, everything works fine.
The error I receive (sorry it's in german):
TypeError: Error #1009: Der Zugriff auf eine Eigenschaft oder eine
Methode eines null-Objektverweises ist nicht möglich.

[flexcoders] getDefinitionByName
Im using the method getDefinitionByName so I can get instances of classes which I only know their name. Now, this classes always receive 2 parameters in their constructor. My question would be, how can I pass these parameters using the method getDefinitionByName, somehing like: var name:String = Daniel; var nickname:String = danboh; var ClassName:String = AddClient var ClassReference : Class = getDefinitionByName(com.client.+ClassName) as Class; var instance : Object = new ClassReference(name, nickname); Any suggestions??? Thanks for your help!
[flexcoders] getDefinitionByName(): Variable ... is not defined.
Hello List;
I'm trying to create an interface where a user's selection in a menu
component results in other components being created. Right now I'm
just prototyping, and experimenting with different ways I might do
this.
One way I've thought of is to use an XML data provider for the list
where an attribute of each menu entry describes a class that should
be instantiated when that item is selected.
e.g.
menu item label=classOne
childClass=com.Kodak.Galiano.Test.classOne/
I'm running into a problem, though. Because classOne is never
actually used in the source code, classOne is not being compiled
and linked into the application. When I call getDefinitionByName
( com.Kodak.Galiano.Test.classOne ), there is an error: Variable
classOne is not defined.
Is there some trick I can use to force classOne to be compiled and
linked into the application? Right now my solution is to add a
private function that defines a local variable of the appropriate
type.
private function TrickCompiler() : void
{
var x : classOne;
}
This does the trick, but it sure seems hacky.
Thanks.
Tobias.

RE: [flexcoders] getDefinitionByName
getDefinitionByName() works on Flex classes as well as Flash ones, but if you want something like getDefinitionByName(mx.controls.Button) to work, you have to ensure that Flex's Button class is linked into your application's SWF. If you actually use the Button class somewhere, it will be. By contrast, the Flash classes are built into the Player and don't need to be used in the SWF. Sorry for the late reply. I'm going through the 1700 posts to flexcoders while I was on vacation, and I didn't see a reply to this one. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Freiman Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 7:50 AM To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] getDefinitionByName I want to use getDefinitionByName in the flash.utils package to get a class by it's name.

RE: [flexcoders] getDefinitionByName
You need to make sure that the class gets linked into your SWF. You dont need to instantiate it but you need to declare a variable with the type of the class that you want. You can also use the include-classes directive to the compiler to force the class to be available. Check the docs for more details.
