Please if anyone can help me along here... I have background in AS3 and can
code in flash on the time line. Now I'm diving into classes and I am lacking
some basic logic as to how I can accomplish things I already know how to do
just not in class.
I want to load XML in one class and take that data and use it in another
class that will load an image depending on the button selected.
Here is what I have so far:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MyXML {
private var my_xml:XML;
public var issue_array:Array;
public var _pagesAmount:Number;
public var hiResXMLList:XMLList;
public function MyXML(xmlpath_str:String) {
issue_array = new Array();
initXML(xmlpath_str);
}
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
parseXML(event);
}
public function parseXML(event:Event){
my_xml = XML(event.currentTarget.data);
var hiResXMLList:XMLList = [EMAIL PROTECTED]"hi_res_color"];
issue_array.push(hiResXMLList);
_pagesAmount = hiResXMLList.length()/2;
}
private function initXML(xmlpath_str:String):void {
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhitespace = true;
var xmlLdr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLdr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
xmlLdr.load(new URLRequest(xmlpath_str));
trace("initXML complete");
}
public function get pagesAmount():Number {
return _pagesAmount;
}
public function set pagesAmount(pAmount:Number):void {
_pagesAmount = pAmount;
}
}
}
This is the other class that I want the for loop to be determined by the
amount in the XMLList in the previous class. How do I make sure there is a
value sent from the previous class?
On the click event I will eventually have it load in an image, so any
suggestions leading into that too would be greatly appreciated.

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.FontStyle;
import flash.text.FontType;
import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class SpreadNav extends Sprite {
public var spread_arr:Array = new Array();
public var pageNumber:Number = 0;
public var myXML:MyXML;
public function SpreadNav() {
myXML = new taraXML("sample_issue_data.xml");
//this returns NaN so I started to set up an event
listener
trace("this is transfered from the other class
"+myXML.pagesAmount);
myXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
/* BUT I get this error 1061: Call to a possibly
undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type
MyXML.*/
}
private function onComplete() {
//this is where I would want the amount (myXML.pagesAmount) to
be determined by the MyXML class
for (var i:int = 0; i < myXML.pagesAmount; i++) {
spread_arr[i] = [pageNumber, pageNumber+1];
//left page numbers
var lPage_tf:TextField = new TextField();
var lPage_tfName:String = "lPage_tf"+i;
lPage_tf.name = lPage_tfName;
lPage_tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
lPage_tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
lPage_tf.selectable = false;
lPage_tf.text = spread_arr[i][0].toString();
lPage_tf.x = i * 35;
lPage_tf.y = 770;
addChild(lPage_tf);
//page_loader image
var lPageLoader:page_loader = new page_loader();
lPageLoader.x = (i * 35) +7;
lPageLoader.y = 780;
lPageLoader.buttonMode = true;
lPageLoader.mouseEnabled = true;
lPageLoader.name = "pageLoader"+pageNumber;
lPageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _loadPage);
addChild(lPageLoader);
//right page numbers
var rPage_tf:TextField = new TextField();
var rPage_tfName:String = "rPage_tf"+i;
rPage_tf.name = rPage_tfName;
rPage_tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
rPage_tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
rPage_tf.selectable = false;
rPage_tf.text = spread_arr[i][1].toString();
rPage_tf.x = (i * 35) + 15;
rPage_tf.y = 770;
addChild(rPage_tf);
//page_loader image
var rPageLoader:page_loader = new page_loader();
rPageLoader.x = (i * 35) + 22;
rPageLoader.y = 780;
rPageLoader.buttonMode = true;
rPageLoader.mouseEnabled = true;
rPageLoader.name = "pageLoader"+(pageNumber+1);
rPageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _loadPage);
addChild(rPageLoader);
pageNumber = pageNumber+2;
}
}
public function _loadPage(evt:MouseEvent) {
//this is where I would eventually add the loading of the
image
trace(evt.target.name);
//this works so it has to wait to load the xml
trace(myXML.pagesAmount);
}
}
}
Thanks to anyone willing to take some time and look this over and let me
know how I can get this functioning
