[Flashcoders] Writing Custom MovieClip Classes
I have a MovieClip in my project that I put in the library. This MovieClip
is used in the application lots of times and I attach it on the stage on
run time when required like
var DC:DataCard = new DataCard();
DC.x = Math.random()*550;
DC.y = Math.random()*400;
addChild(DC);
In the Identifier Dialogue Box I set the Class name to DataCard and I am
trying to associate it to a Class file DataCard.as
This MovieClip has a text field for example, and it is named nameTF.
I want to be able to control the components of the DataCard MovieClip from
the Class Itself, in this case to change the text in the nameTF TextField.
So in the Class I worte:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;
public class DataCard extends MovieClip {
var cardName:String;
static public function DataCard():void {
nameTF.text = cardName;
}
public function set cardName(Name:String):void {
cardName = Name;
}
}
}
It shows me many errors and it does not work.
when I tried:
public class DataCard extends MovieClip {
public function CardName(CN:String):void {
nameTF.text = CN;
}
}
and in the FLA:
var DC:DataCard = new DataCard();
DC.CardName(here is the name);
DC.x = Math.random()*550;
DC.y = Math.random()*400;
DC.name = dataCard;
addChild(DC);
this worked. But how can I use a Constructor, setters and getters in this
case? Also how can I set the name of the MovieClip like I would do in the
FLA DC.name = DCName; in the class itself?
Thanks for the Help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing Custom MovieClip Classes
What is nameTF? I don't see it declared in your class. If you are
using Automatically declare stage instances, turn it off. Adobe put
it in there specifically for newbies to code, it's not meant for proper
developers to use.
Keep in mind you need to declare your stage instances as public vars.
You cannot make the constructor of a class a static function.
Setting card name has no effect on the value of the text field in your
code. I recommend using a more generic naming convention anyway.
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
public class DataCard extends MovieClip
{
public var TXT_Name:TextField;
public function DataCard()
{
super();
}
public function set label(value:String):void
{
TXT_Name.text = value;
}

In the Identifier Dialogue Box I set the Class name to DataCard and I
am
trying to associate it to a Class file DataCard.as
This MovieClip has a text field for example, and it is named nameTF.
I want to be able to control the components of the DataCard MovieClip
from
the Class Itself, in this case to change the text in the nameTF
TextField.
So in the Class I worte:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;
public class DataCard extends MovieClip {
var cardName:String;
static public function DataCard():void {
nameTF.text = cardName;
}
public function set cardName(Name:String):void {
cardName = Name;
}
}
}
It shows me many errors and it does not work.
when I tried:
public class DataCard extends MovieClip {
public function CardName(CN:String):void {
nameTF.text = CN;
}
}
and in the FLA:
var DC:DataCard = new DataCard();
DC.CardName(here is the name);
DC.x = Math.random()*550;
DC.y = Math.random()*400;
DC.name = dataCard;
addChild(DC);
this worked. But how can I use a Constructor, setters and getters in
this
case? Also how can I set the name of the MovieClip like I would do in
the
FLA DC.name = DCName; in the class itself?
Thanks for the Help.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3... when to start?
Micky, This thread became a Flash IDE versus FlexBuilder/other tool discussion but, back to your original question, you can still code, and find resources to help, AS3 in Flash. I recently co-wrote a book with this in mind, for Flash users wanting to learn AS3. It's definitely aimed at beginners, though. Here's a tinyurl link to Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/329c36 Rich On 3/4/07 12:32 AM, Micky Hulse wrote: What happened to coding in Flash? Am I waiting for the next version of Flash until I can successfully and/or easily write AS3 via the Flash application? Will the future of Flash AS always require the Flex Builder? Or, is Flex Builder just one out of many/few code editors for compiling the new AS3 code? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] frameworks and classes for flash cs3
There is no best one as the framework you need may depend on the job you want to do, e.g. PhotoShop is good for bitmaps, whilst Illustrator is good for drawing (that's not an opinion, just an example). So I would suggest what you need to do is to be a bit more proactive and read up on the stuff that is out there, have a stab at what you think might be useful and play with it a little to see if it will really be suitable. If you are working on a project, you would probably have to come up with a list of features that you need - then ask the list which framework(s) have these features. The group ain't gonna spoon feed you, but it will help if you ask more meaningful questions. :) Pedro Kostelec wrote: If I start searching this two sites (which i did once) i will fill my computer with stuff i will surely never use.

Re: [Flashcoders] frameworks and classes for flash cs3
what are the 'best' framework/classes is very subjective, there isnt an UNIQUE framework that will solve all your problems you have to choose and use the ones that speed up your workflow In most of my projects I use pixlib (as2) and lowra (as3), but there are a lot of frameworks that is better in each case you should try all of them and use the one you feel more confortable to use, maybe try to do the same thing using differents frameworks that have the same purpose/focus: for example: Tweener vs TweenLite vs Papervision3D vs Sandy vs Away3D .. -- Pedro Taranto On Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 8:57 PM, Pedro Kostelec [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I start searching this two sites (which i did once) i will fill my computer with stuff i will surely never use.

[Flashcoders] AS3 Classes and FLA not working together
So,
I am trying to do an application in Air with Flash CS3. I can't deny, I am
starting to hate AS3!
First of all, The document class technique (wich lets you set the name of
the starting class in the Document Class Text field) is not working while
developing in AIR. It only works in an actionscript 3.0 application.
Allright fine, I could manage in calling the class from the first frame
var Application:Amlak = new Amlak();
this way...
And note that I have a movieClip in the Fla library which has a Class Name
AmlakPanel, to be added to the stage later on runtime.
in the Amlak.as class :
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class Amlak extends Sprite {
public function Amlak():void {
trace(Starting Application);// traces like a charm!!!
var a = new AmlakPanel();
addChild(a); //this does not happen !!! G!!!
}
}
}
Why... Why and Why!!! :(

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Classes and FLA not working together
hello Omar,
I'm developing a graphical editor for e-learning content using AIR. The
Document Class works fine for me. The only problem I had was that I had to
make it extend MovieClip, and put a stop() in its first frame. You have to
use a stop(), or else your app will flash indefinetely. While I was
testing it inside Flash, the document class extended Sprite and everything
worked. But, when I tryed the real application (installing the AIR file), it
didn't work.
I don't think you need to create an instance of your Document Class.
Something is wrong in your code or your .fla
Put a stop() in the first frame of you app, and give a feedback for us.
good luck,
andrei

Create a Class for AmlakPanel instead of letting Flash generate it may help
you get a little further in debugging

[Flashcoders] AS3 Coding Conventions Question
This is a pretty nice doc and I agree/use most of these while doing as3 development. The use of ALL_CAPS constants makes sense to me but I am not understanding what the purpose would be to not make the variable be the same as the value. For instance, this is what Adobe says and does from: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Coding+Conventions -- Constant names Use all uppercase letters with underscores between words: OFF, DEFAULT_WIDTH . The words in the identifier must match the words in the constant value if it is a String: public static const FOO_BAR:String = fooBar; -- For me it makes more sense and helps consistency to make it: public static const FOO_BAR:String = FOO_BAR; Anyone have a defense to Adobe's position? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
