apply my knowledge offlash, animation, video and audio modeling. So, mostly
about graphics and motion. I've been googling the web, but i found so many
results that my head went bad,and they mostly all of them had some other
studies that i don't like such as ecomony, telecommunication between others.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Accessing objects properties on the stage from other objects

2008-02-19 Thread Cory Petosky
You have to cast the root property because it's statically typed as a
DisplayObject. Because the player/API doesn't know what document class
you might use for your root object, it types root as the base class
your document class must inherit from.

Looking at your code, it seems that you're trying to develop AS3 as if
it were AS2. In general, manually traversing the display list using
parent or root properties is a sign of bad design. In this case,
you're tying your program architecture to your display list
architecture -- if you move one thing in your FLA, everything will
break.

Instead, build your classes in a more object-oriented manner. I don't
know what class the snippet you posted is in, but it looks like all
you need is property derived from another display object's width. In
this case, consider adding a property called "maxWidth" or something
similar to the object's constructor, and pass the value in when you
create the object. That way you don't need to traverse the display
list to find the information you need -- everything is nice and
encapsulated.

[Flashcoders] AS3 Accessing objects properties on the stage from other objects

2008-02-19 Thread Johan Nyberg
Hi, I have a question regarding referencing objects on the stage from  
other objects. You should be able to use the root from any object that  
has been added to the display list using addChild. But when I do so I  
get this error message:


1119: Access of possibly undefined property loader through a reference  
with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.


The only way for me to do what I want is if I cast the root reference  
to the class of my document class. For example, if the name of my  
document class is MyDocumentClass it would be like this:


MyDocumentClass( root ).theObjectIWantToAccess.someProperty

My questions are:

1. Why do I have to cast the root property?
2. Is this the best way to go around what I want to do.

To illustrate what I'm talking about, here's a snippet of code:

if( this.inputBubble.x + this.inputBubble.width >  
PokerHandComp(root).frame_mc.width )

 {
this.inputBubble.x = x;
this.inputBubble.bubble_mc.scaleX = -1;
this.inputBubble.txt.x = - this.inputBubble.bubble_mc.width + 20;
}

In this case my document class is called PokerHandComp.
