The basic method of making new instances is to write out Code: var t1:MyClass = new MyClass( 0 ); var t2:MyClass = new MyClass( 0 ); etc I know there is a much quicker way to do this than writing them out, say if I want to go up to t20, but I can't seem to quite remember how. Thanks for help, this should be a quick fix.

Was hoping someone could advice me on the best approach in this scenario; [doc] class Has an instance of 'BgSlide' class addChilded [BgSlide] class Has a few instances of BgLoader class in an array (they get added after they are loaded) [BgLoader] class Loads a image into a sprite container.

Hi. I've found lots of tutorials and articles about custom events, but I can't find the TRUTH about passing events to siblings. My problem in Flex: the main app has 2 childs: a control bar with buttons and a pane to display thumbs. I want a button in the bar to change the currentState in the thumbs pane. I have made a custom event to pass a parameter along the event. The main app ...

I have this page that I want to auto load the "HOME" mc. From there I want the buttons to navigate the page. I have got the buttons to work properly so far, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to load the HOME swf, then unload it with the same removeChild as the rest of the buttons do... Here is what works... Code: var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader(); thisLoader....

I have 5 products to display. Each has an image and a text box with some product info which get animated in. I am stuck between using the document class and the timeline. Option 1 - I put the 5 products and corresponding text on frames 1, 10, 20, 30 and 40 and use actions in the actions layer. Each product is on its own frame. The ideal situation would have all the product ...

Hi! I'm having trouble using the dispatchEvent() method to communicate between two custom classes. The problem is the Main class listens for an event that another class dispatches, but somehow it doesn't 'catch' it... Here is my main class: Code: package { import app.Thumb; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; public class TestLoadThumbs extends Sprite { ...

I have some as3 code that grabs swf urls from xml and loads them, adds them as children, and names them so i can tell them to play later. Code: // Preload swfs var numSwfs = xmlData.content.*.swf.length(); var swfSceneArray = new Array(); var swfUrlArray = new Array(); var swfArray = new Array(); var i; for (i=0; i<numSwfs; i++) { swfUrlArray = xmlData.content.*.swf.text(); ...

Hi, How complicated would be to create a website that when a button is clicked it animates the content going in and out, using tweens (using actionscript 3.0 only)? What I need to know is the logic that will make the tweens move. I can animate the movieClips coming in, but how can I animate what is going out at the same time depending on what button was clicked. I know this ...

So I'm confronted with a problem, that eventListener seems to be lacking to tools to directly over come. I've got a global variable, from a class that multiple SWFs I've got going share. I want fire off a function in a child, to be exact, the child of a child, SWF when that variable is changed by the parent. It seems to me an easy way to do this would be to have an eventListener than ...

Hey guys. I know that this is not in the best practices manual, but I need to place a method DIRECTLY inside a package of mine. Pretty much like flash does with the as3 new flash.utils.* package methods. Could anyone guide me on this ... I've been searching around hardly with zero results. Tanks!

Anyone knows a way of setting a method inside a class to execute right before the class instance deletion? Tanks for helping!

Hiya folks and actionscript gurus. I'm running into a problem trying to convert my code to a document class. I've read a bunch of tutorials online, and followed their instructions on it, though I keep running into "Error 1120: Access of undefined property stage." I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to correct this. Please help! Here's my code: Code: package { //...

hey! I want my flashheader to match the width of the viewers browsers , but not the height . It's only a header, not a fullscreenflashsite. It should adjust as I resize the window. I have the flashswf in the maximized width possible (1600px) so the pictures wont be distorted. The movie should fit inside the browser, and not be cut on the sides. So if I have a 1024x768 browser, the swf ...

I know this might seem overkill but how come this throws a strict warning? var hi2u:int = 25; // code hi2u = null; Was under the impression that variables that are nulled are subject to the GC sweep.
