Learning AS3 with KM - simple Question

[loosenuts]

Hi

I'm new to AS3 and I still haven't got the basics yet, so I need a point in the right direction ...

I was following the instructions on how to create classes and re-using them, but I still don't understand how to import the class.

For example I have this code as per example ....

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.*;

public class ButtonInteractivity extends Sprite {

var button:Sprite = new Sprite();

public function ButtonInteractivity() {
drawButton()
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
addChild(button);
}

function drawButton():void {
var textLabel:TextField = new TextField()
button.graphics.clear();
button.graphics.beginFill(0xD4D4D4); // grey color
button.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 80, 25, 10, 10); // x, y, width, height, ellipseW, ellipseH
button.graphics.endFill();
textLabel.text = "Click Me!";
textLabel.x = 10;
textLabel.y = 5;
textLabel.selectable = false;
button.addChild(textLabel)
}

function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
button.x += 20
if (button.x > 400) { button.x = 0}
}
}
}

saved as ButtonInteractivity.as

I then create a new KM file and added the following code as per example ..
but added ...

import flash.ButtonInteractivity.*;

in the first line ...

var b=new Array();
var h=30;
for (var x:integer;x<10;x++){
b[x]=new ButtonInteractivity();
b[x].y=h;
addChild(b[x]);
h+=30;
}

KM Fle saved in the same folder as ButtonInteractivity.as

When I run the program I get the following error message ..


Class ButtonInteractivity
Line 36: stop();
expecting a package

Did I leave something out or is my import statement incorrect ?

Thanks for assisting.
Cheers

First, your class has an error and should be:

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.*;

public class ButtonInteractivity extends Sprite {

var button:Sprite = new Sprite();

public function ButtonInteractivity() {
drawButton()
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
addChild(button);
}

private function drawButton():void {
var textLabel:TextField = new TextField()
button.graphics.clear();
button.graphics.beginFill(0xD4D4D4); // grey color
button.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 80, 25, 10, 10); // x, y, width, height, ellipseW, ellipseH
button.graphics.endFill();
textLabel.text = "Click Me!";
textLabel.x = 10;
textLabel.y = 5;
textLabel.selectable = false;
button.addChild(textLabel)
}

function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
button.x += 20
if (button.x > 400) { button.x = 0}
}
}
}

If you are saving the class in the same folder, you do not need an import statement, Koolmoves will look in the root folder automatically. That said your KM source would go like this (notice the changes in bold):

var b=new Array();
var h=30;
for (var x:int=0;x<10;x++){
b[x]=new ButtonInteractivity();
b[x].y=h;
addChild(b[x]);
h+=30;
}

Already tested here and confirmed

Thanks for your help, that worked.
