RE: [Flashcoders] problem creating multiple instances

2007-05-23 Thread David Ngo
Yeah, you're using the same MovieClip name reference. I do believe you can't
have two objects share the same name. You'll get concurrency issues with
that on this line:

_mcLibrary = _scope.attachMovie(libraryLink,mcLibrary,
_scope.getNextHighestDepth());


You'll need to create a unique ID for it. I would probably suggest either
within your creation object, or have an ID factory (should probably be a
hybrid Singleton/Factory) that just generates unique ID's that you can
append to your instance names.

As for the custom class, it's nothing more than a blank class with public
variables (or private ones and getter/setter methods) that contain the data
you want to pass. OR, since you use two separate objects, just have a single
object compose both. There are many ways to go about doing it, so it just
boils down to preference I guess.

This is how I am instantiating the creationObject (below).  I believe  
that if I am passing a different name to the myName property it  
should create more than one MovieClip instance.

I'd love to hear more about your suggestion to use a custom class to  
set properties instead of a generic object, or maybe point me in the  
direction of good tutorial or example.  Unfortunately I am a self  
taught coder and am not always familiar with some of the best practices.

var myCreationSettings:Object = {
myName:3DCircleOnCavill,
libraryLink:CircleOnCavill,
scope:this,
xAxisStart:-20,
yAxisStart:20,
vQuality:3,
hQuality:3

var my3Dplane:Simple3DPlane = new Simple3DPlane(myCreationSettings);
my3Dplane.mouseReactive(true, 30, 20, true);

 creation and animation rather than a generic object. This way, you

After reading your first e-mail I did go through and make a change  
here, but it did not resolve the issue.
_mcLibrary = _scope.attachMovie(libraryLink, mcLibrary+myName,  
_scope.getNextHighestDepth());


The line you mention is not the MovieClip reference for the plane,  
but a MovieClip created to create a BitmapData object.
_bd = new BitmapData(_mcLibrary._width, _mcLibrary._height, true,  
0x00);


This BitmapData object is later placed into the plane reference  
MovieClip.  At least that is my understanding... YIKES!

_di = new DistortImage(_mc, _bd, vQuality, hQuality);

I'm not able to post the class inside the e-mail anymore, it exceeds  
the maximum file size allowed by flashcoders.  If you need the class  
file again I will create a link to all of the files.

Looks like you're attaching your plane to the same MovieClip instance, thus
destroying any/all objects that was previously on that MovieClip instance.
Depends on how you're instantiating your creationObject. BTW, just a comment
on your implementation: I would use a custom class to set properties for
creation and animation rather than a generic object. This way, you can avoid
having to iterate through the object and then you can just composition your
