There are no components in the SWF I'm trying to load and play (the AVM1 movie)...but it still messes up and plays differently than when it is stand alone.
I will try to create a small example to...

Hmm, this is not exactly the problem I'm talking about.
When loading an AVM1 movie into an AVM2 movie, the AVM1 movie's _root, refers to the AVM1 movie root and not AVM2 movie root, thus it is self...

The concept is easy. Build a container swf which loads in another SWF from a hard coded link.
This allows you to distribute the container, which pulls in whatever is at the hard coded URL - thus...

Since I'm coding in AS3 I need to dynamically add components to my stage.

How can I do this?

Say I have a component in the library with the linkage class com.david.Tree;

How can I do...

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'd like to somehow put 1 Sprite into 2 displayObjectContainers. Here is an example:



var image:Sprite = new Image();

var containerA:Sprite = new...

OK, that's awesome, I think it all just clicked now :)
Cool that the objects don't really know about each other, apart from the events :) The main purpose from what I now see, is preserving...

What is a typical case of this? I can imagine something like this:


class someClass {

public function someClass(){

var fooInstance:Foo = new Foo();

Thanks that helps...I can see now how it helps when adding and removing objects from listening, without having to write new code for handling the adding and removing to a list.....

however, the...

I didn't explain what I meant clearly enough, so hopefully this will...

Imagine I'm making a game....a "game over" event can take place.
This happens when a playerObject has a y property above...

Why should I use events?

I mean, in order to use events, I have to 1. setup an event dispatcher, 2.add an event listener to an object and 3. have a listener function set up.

Could I not achieve...

Thanks for the reply, I just thought of using static the same time you posted :)
I also posted some source code to illustrate the point (which you have now confirmed as a viable method).
Cheers...

I haven't been able to test yet, but I believe the way to achieve what I wanted is to declare any variables or functions I want access to as "static".

For example below, I have set the function...

I want to create a Class containing functions (similar to the Math class).
Also, like the Math class, I want it to be available everywhere.

For example, if I type
Math.floor(myNumber);

I tried casting the information i get back in event.target to movieclip and then removing and it worked.

I'm not sure it's actually removing the reference from memory though....
Here is the code:...

Hi everyone,

I'm new to AS3, and I'd like to remove a movieclip instance when it reaches its last frame (from the displaylist and memory).

Firstly, I tried putting code in the last frame of the...

OK, I figured it out....so here is how it's done (Thanks to Keith on Bit-101 for this info).


package {

import flash.display.Sprite;

public class App extends Sprite {

Hi Everyone,

I've recently switched from using Flash CS3 to compile my programs, to the free Flex SDK and am using MXMLC to compile AS files.
But, I have a question...
I have some movieclips...

Hi,

I'm designing actionscript classes for a 3D engine.

At the moment I have a class called Object3D which contains all the 3D coordinates of a 3D object.

I also have a class called Face3D....

Every time I try to put more than one class into an external package I get an error at runtime:


5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one externally visible definition:...

I'm guessing you've also recently made the move from AS2 to AS3?
What I find funny is that some of the more complicated things tend to be similar to AS2....However, the "simple" things like...

Where are you keeping/calling the code from please Inquizard?

I'm wondering if it's better for me to have keep it in a class file or somewhere else?

Thanks very much for all the help by the way...

OK. Thanks that is a big help. My code now looks like this and there is no problem with dragging really fast:


package {

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

Hi,

I'm trying to create draggable movieclips, and I was wondering what the best way to do that would be?
At the moment I have a class named draggableClip set as the document class.
The class is...

Thanks very much for such a fast reply, that did the trick! :D

OK, this is my first attempt at coding in AS3. :eek:
I have created a class (within a package) and added it as the documentClass (within the stage properties in Flash CS3).

When I check the...
