[Flashcoders] How do I remove methods of superclass in AS2?

2008-05-01 Thread Alistair Colling
Hiya, thanks for checking this. I have a custom class that I am using  
as kind of button. The thing is I now want to remove the onPress and  
onRelease methods as there  is a nested movieclip I want to attach  
these events to.


What I would like to know is can I remove or nullify the methods of a  
superclass from the subclass?


Any help very much appreciated, an outline of my code is below.

Thanks :)

Ali

// superclass
class Classes.AnswerBut extends MovieClip{  

function AnswerBut(){
trace(AnswerBut created);
}

public function onPress(){
//actions here
}

public function onRelease(){
//actions here
}
}

//subclass
class Classes.NoAnswerBut extends Classes.AnswerBut{

function NoAnswerBut(){
trace(NoAnswerBut created);
}

		// I want to remove the onPress / onRelease events in the class  
definition here

}

How about:

class Classes.NoAnswerBut extends Classes.AnswerBut{

function NoAnswerBut(){trace(NoAnswerBut created);}

public function onPress(){}//no actions here
public function onRelease(){}//no actions here

}

Another option is to override the actions. 
Otherwise if you want to get rid of the mouse events you could do this:


class Classes.NoAnswerBut extends Classes.AnswerBut{

function NoAnswerBut(){

trace(NoAnswerBut created);

onPress = undefined ;
onRelease = undefined ;

delete(onPress);
delete(onRelease);

}

}

However, I recommend this one:

// superclass
class Classes.AnswerBut extends MovieClip{  

function AnswerBut(){

trace(AnswerBut created);
onPress = _onPress
onRelease = _onRelease

}

public function _onPress(){
//actions here
}

public function _onRelease(){
//actions here
}
}

//subclass
class Classes.NoAnswerBut extends Classes.AnswerBut{

function NoAnswerBut(){

trace(NoAnswerBut created);

// not sure if you even need to do this:
// as long as you don't call super();
onPress = undefined ;
onRelease = undefined ;

delete(onPress);
delete(onRelease);

}
}


Hope this helps...

Thanks for your responses guys, I have removed onPress/onRelease  
events as you suggested

onPress = undefined ;
onRelease = undefined ;

delete(onPress);
delete(onRelease);
but now my nested mc will not fire any mouse events,  I am guessing  
that these mouse events have been removed for any nested clips in  
that mc too. I've un-nested my movie clip to solve the problem and it  
all works fine.


Your help is appreciated :)

RE: [Flashcoders] How do I remove methods of superclass in AS2?

2008-05-01 Thread Karim Beyrouti
That is why I recommend this approach:

 class Classes.AnswerBut extends MovieClip{ 

function AnswerBut(){

trace(AnswerBut created);
addMouseEvents();

}

public function _onPress(){
//actions here
}

public function _onRelease(){
//actions here
}

public function removeMouseEvents(){
onPress = undefined
onRelease = undefined
delete(onPress)
delete(onRelease)
}
public function addMouseEvents(){
onPress = _onPress
onRelease = _onRelease
}

 }

Which you can override in your class:

 class Classes.NoAnswerBut extends Classes.AnswerBut{   

function NoAnswerBut(){

addMouseEvents()

}

public function _onPress(){
//other actions here
}

public function _onRelease(){
// other actions here
}

 }

So that way when you removeMouseEvents(), you still keep the actions and can 
re-assign them at the onPress/onRelease handlers...
I would also recomend you use the Delegate class for this... to do something 
like ... 

onRelease = Delegate.create( this, _onRelease )

keeps the calls in scope if you are assigning events to sub movieclip.

Override the functions instead with the override keyword. Something like
this:

override public function onPress(e:Event):void
{
}

Re: [Flashcoders] How do I remove methods of superclass in AS2?

2008-05-01 Thread Ian Thomas
Doesn't make any difference - the same thing works in AS2, you just
don't use the 'override' keyword. Override has been added to AS3 to
perform additional compile checking (and possibly to allow
optimisation), not to add new functionality.

And, from whatever the other bit of the thread was:

onPress = undefined ;
onRelease = undefined ;

 delete(onPress);
delete(onRelease);

You don't need both these operations - either setting to undefined
(null is better) or calling delete will do the job, no need for both.
