Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Classes and FLA not working together
Yes, you can put stop() in the first frame and still extend Sprite. I just think that this is a bit contradictory with the definition of Sprite class: A Sprite object is similar to a movie clip, but does not have a timeline. And, in the Sprite documentation, stop() doesn't exist. Although that, the stop() in the first frame will work, independently on the document class extending Sprite or MovieClip.

Kenneth, you're right, sorry. I had some strange problems after uninstalling the last AIR beta and installing the release version.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Coding Conventions Question
Maybe it's because alot (most?) static constants refer to an event type:
Event.CHANGE - change
Event.CLICK - click
REMOVED_FROM_STAGE - removedFromStage
I've noticed that in Flex, if you define Event metada, and you follow those rules, you'll get automatic codehints for that event,
even though you haven't defined any constant for that event type.
package com.muzakdeezign.sample.controls {
import mx.core.UIComponent;
[Event(name=myEvent,type=mx.events.Event)]
public class MyClass extends UIComponent {
public function MyClass() {
}
}
}
If you then create an instance of that class add a listener to the instance,
MY_EVENT will show up in the codehints.
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.Event;
import com.muzakdeezign.sample.controls.MyClass;
private function appInit():void {
var instance:MyClass = new MyClass();
instance.addEventListener(Event.MY_EVENT ...
}
]]
/mx:Script
Just typing Event. will show MY_EVENT as one of the event types in the codehints, even though I haven't defined that constant
anywhere.
So I guess it picks up those constants from the metadata: [Event(name=myEvent,type=mx.events.Event)] and splits the words on
each uppercase character and sticking an underscore in between.
Only problem is that it doesn't actually work, since there's no
Event.MY_EVENTconstant.
regards,
Muzak

[Flashcoders] Paragraph spacing in AS2
I'm using style sheets to control text appearance in a Flash 8 site (AS2). I've been able to control the spacing between lines, but have not found a way to control spacing between paragraphs. Thus my paragraph spacing equals two line breaks, which is too tall. Anyone have an AS2 technique for setting inter-paragraph spacing? Ideally I'd want it to be about 1.5x the regular line spacing.

RE: [Flashcoders] Writing Custom MovieClip Classes
Try this instead, this is how I would do it (you have a few screwy
things in the code you posted, too many to bother commenting on :) ):
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.text.*;
public class DataCard extends MovieClip
{
public function set name(value:String):void
{
theTextField.text = value;
}
}
}
And in the .fla with the clip's class set to DataCard:
var dc:DataCard = new DataCard();
dc.name = Hello;

Subject: [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] AS3 Coding Conventions Question
public static const FILEUPDATED:String = fileUpdated;
With that convention, I always thought perahaps so there were no value
conflicts, if there happened to be one somehow - by naming it the same
as the constant name, you pretty much ensure that, and the lower case
was just to distinguish it from the constant itself - it could be the
significant number 42 for that matter.

Jonathan, that's actually legal in ActionScript. Ugly and misleading, but legal.
Pedro, change Mountain2 to this:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Mountain extends Sprite {
private var color1:uint=0x003300;
private var color2:uint=0x001700;
public function Mountain() {
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, stageListener);
}
public function stageListener(event:Event):void {
graphics.beginFill(color1);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,stage.stageWidth,
stage.stageHeight/2);
graphics.endFill();
}
You don't have a reference to the stage until the object is actually
added -- using an event listener to wait until you're added to the
stage solves the problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Error #1009
Just rewrite this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.filters.*;
public class RisingCroix extends Sprite {
private var croix:Croix;
to this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.filters.*;
import classpath.to.mountain.class.Mountain;
public class RisingCroix extends Sprite {
private var croix:Croix;
Then the datatype Mountain exists and your class will be available in
this class.
Hope that works for you, let me know.
Cheers,
Sid
PS. Just a tip, its good practice to rename your private member
variables (class variables: private var nameOfVar) with an underscore,
like so: private var _nameOfVar so you can easily distinguish between
class variables and local variables in functions or parameters.

Anyone have an AS2 technique for setting inter-paragraph spacing?
Ideally I'd want it to be about 1.5x the regular line spacing.

Re: [Flashcoders] Error #1009
Hi, Cory,
That is really interesting. I played with it a little and I got this
Warning:
Warning: 3553: Function value used where type void was expected. Possibly
the parentheses () are missing after this function reference.
and of course it threw an actual error when I set up the function with
arguments.
I wonder if there is some sort of precedent/reasoning for that working... If
you write something like this, it behaves like almost like a property:
function stuff():int {
return 1;
}
var a = stuff;
but this:
function stuff():int {
return 1;
}
stuff;
shows that warning.
Anyway, it's curious and thanks for setting me straight!

Pedro, change Mountain2 to this:

import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Mountain extends Sprite {
private var color1:uint=0x003300;
private var color2:uint=0x001700;
public function Mountain() {

public function stageListener(event:Event):void {

stage.stageHeight/2);
graphics.endFill();
}
You don't have a reference to the stage until the object is actually
added -- using an event listener to wait until you're added to the
stage solves the problem.

PS. Just a tip, its good practice to rename your private member
variables (class variables: private var nameOfVar) with an underscore,
like so: private var _nameOfVar so you can easily distinguish between
class variables and local variables in functions or parameters.

Re: [Flashcoders] Error #1009
I think that in AS3, there is only one file that can exsist in the
'root' of the package, the only entry point you have for a
application. The rest has to live in packages. Most of the time you
call this class 'Main'. And use it as your document class or
instanciate it on the timeline, then you place all your other files in
packages and reference them i Main where you have to.
so like this (read this like a directory structure)
root folder: Main (- class files)
package: com.something.Mountain (- class files)
package: com.something.RisingCroix (- class files)
etc.
And in Main you reference your imports like import
com.something.ClassName.
I hope it is clear for you. Do you understand?
Cheers,
Sid

Re: [Flashcoders] Error #1009
Start tracing out the variables, because there is a variable undefined
or null and you try to perform an operation on it. Since its undefined
or null the operation halts.
It can also be that your function init2 does not return void but
returns a sprite.

[Flashcoders] classpath issues
hi guys
i hope you can help me with this:
i am trying to set up a library of classes that i can re-use in my
actionscript but i keep getting the following errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
SimpleRectangle.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method SimpleRectangle.
i have set up a folder called 'Actionscript Classes' and set the
classpath for as3 (tried as2 as well) to point to it
the folder structure within this folder is: com/receptacle/utils
within the utils folder i have a class called SimpleRectangle.as
which is as follows:
[code]package com.receptacle.utils
{
//package imports
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Shape;
internal class SimpleRectangle extends Sprite
{
// class variable declarations
// constructor
public function SimpleRectangle(colour:uint, outlineColour:uint,
rectX:Number, rectY:Number, rectWidth:uint, rectHeight:uint)
{
simpleRectangle(colour, outlineColour, rectX, rectY, rectWidth,
rectHeight);
}
private function simpleRectangle(colour:uint, outlineColour:uint,
rectX:Number, rectY:Number, rectWidth:uint, rectHeight:uint):Shape
{
trace(Rectangle Drawn);
var r:Shape = new Shape();
r.graphics.lineStyle(1,outlineColour);
r.graphics.beginFill(colour, 1);
r.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, rectWidth, rectHeight);
r.graphics.endFill();
r.x = rectX;
r.y = rectY;
addChild(r);
return r;
}
}
}[/code]
the code for my document class is
[code]package
{
//package imports
import com.receptacle.utils.*;
import flash.display.*;
internal class TestApp extends Sprite
{
// class variable declarations
// constructor
public function TestApp()
{
setVars();
}
private function setVars()
{
var simpleText:SimpleRectangle = new SimpleRectangle();
}
}
}[/code]
when i had the SimpleRectangle class in the same folder as the rest
of my app (with amended package), everything was working fine but now
that i've tried to import from my own library it's not - my best
guess is that i've messed the classpath up somewhere but i can't see it
thanks a lot

Re: [Flashcoders] Error #1009
It is exceedingly rare that the compiler is telling you something is wrong that isn't. If you're getting an error thrown, like it or not, you made a mistake somewhere. Flash does what you tell it to do. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to figure out where the error is coming from if you don't use the debugging tools provided. Using try catch and throwing meaningful error messages will help you debug much more quickly. If you're getting null pointer exceptions, you're experiencing the growing pains of going from AS1 to AS3. It'll take time, but the more you get burned by them, the more your code will account for them and the less you'll have to deal with them. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

RE: [Flashcoders] classpath issues
Why are you using internal for the class definition?
From the Flex help docs:
If you do not want a class to be publicly visible outside a package,
place the class inside a package and mark the class with the internal
attribute.

Subject: [Flashcoders] classpath issues
hi guys
i hope you can help me with this:
i am trying to set up a library of classes that i can re-use
in my actionscript but i keep getting the following errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
SimpleRectangle.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method SimpleRectangle.
i have set up a folder called 'Actionscript Classes' and set
the classpath for as3 (tried as2 as well) to point to it the
folder structure within this folder is: com/receptacle/utils
within the utils folder i have a class called
SimpleRectangle.as which is as follows:
[code]package com.receptacle.utils
{
//package imports
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Shape;
internal class SimpleRectangle extends Sprite
{
// class variable declarations
// constructor
public function SimpleRectangle(colour:uint,
outlineColour:uint, rectX:Number, rectY:Number,
rectWidth:uint, rectHeight:uint)
{
simpleRectangle(colour, outlineColour,
rectX, rectY, rectWidth, rectHeight);
}
private function simpleRectangle(colour:uint,
outlineColour:uint, rectX:Number, rectY:Number,
rectWidth:uint, rectHeight:uint):Shape
{
trace(Rectangle Drawn);
var r:Shape = new Shape();
r.graphics.lineStyle(1,outlineColour);
r.graphics.beginFill(colour, 1);
r.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, rectWidth,
rectHeight);
r.graphics.endFill();
r.x = rectX;
r.y = rectY;
addChild(r);
return r;
}
}
}[/code]
the code for my document class is
[code]package
{
//package imports
import com.receptacle.utils.*;
import flash.display.*;
internal class TestApp extends Sprite
{
// class variable declarations
// constructor
public function TestApp()
{
setVars();
}
private function setVars()
{
var simpleText:SimpleRectangle = new
SimpleRectangle();
}
}
}[/code]
when i had the SimpleRectangle class in the same folder as
the rest of my app (with amended package), everything was
working fine but now that i've tried to import from my own
library it's not - my best guess is that i've messed the
classpath up somewhere but i can't see it
thanks a lot

Subject: [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.

Subject: [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?

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing Custom MovieClip Classes
ok this worked But the DataCard Clip has a CloseButton so
In the DataCard Class:
this.CloseButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, close);
public function close(e:MouseEvent) {
removeChild(this);
}
but it is throwing an error message.
I know this could be a silly question, I have not been into AS3 for a long
time. :)
Thanks for your effort !

Re: [Flashcoders] frameworks and classes for flash cs3
it also depends if you want a structural framework (which would be cairngorn) or an application framework(this of would be something like papervision) the difference beeing that structural frameworks help you structurise and patternize your own code, whereas application frameworks actually do stuff ;).

RE: [Flashcoders] Writing Custom MovieClip Classes
You wouldn't have the class close itself, it doesn't know where it
lives, it could live anywhere. Instead, you would have the class (i.e,
your timeline I'm guessing) that creates an instance of the class listen
for a close event and then remove the child. The DataCard class could
broadcast when the close occurs and your other class (timeline) would
listen for that event and then remove it, or you could listen to the
button event in the DataCard class for the close event - easiest way to
do that is set the listener to listen for bubbles = true. Here is an
example of the former way, though the latter (event bubbling) is
probably better:
var dc:DataCard = new DataCard();
dc.name = Hello;
dc.addEventListener(dc.CLOSE, onClose);
addChild(dc);
private function onClose(event:Event):void
{
removeChild(dc);
}
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent
public class DataCard extends MovieClip
{
public static const CLOSE:String = close;
public function DataCard()
{
initListeners()
}
private function initListeners():void
{
CloseButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, disptachClose);
}
private function dispatchClose(e:MouseEvent)
{
dispatchEvent(DataCard.CLOSE)
}
public function set name(value:String):void
{
theTextField.text = value;
}
}
}
