RE: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
Hey Jason, All Im trying to do is run some animation inside a movieclip but without instantiating the class. So what I do instead is just add a MovieClip on stage that has a link to a class and it knows exactly what to do rather than having to instantiate it manually. BTW, I read your previous post that talks about classes talking to each other, it is something I am trying to acomplish as well. -h On 4/3/07, Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything outside of them, (unless of course you import some other class - then they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope reference).

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
Oh, and I forgot an important point, the reson why I want to find the scope of the class is because inside the class there are variables that talk to each other and I can have them talk back and forth like this _level0.instance1.myVariable = blah; but this of course wont work when the movie is loaded into a new movie because the reference will be lost and changes to _level0.movieHolder.instance1.myVariable = blah; and of course it breaks the app. Thanks again, -h On 4/3/07, Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything outside of them, (unless of course you import some other class - then they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope reference).

RE: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
If class has it's own variables, just use them inside the class- but if you want to Extend movieClip and expect it to know about variables outside it's scope, well, that's breaking OOP AFAIK, classes only know about themselves.

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
You are correct, and it all seems clear now and working as expected, the
only guy that I cant understand is the Tween class and the way i can pass a
refrence of the main class inside it.
I have learend that this works
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, myNextFunction);
but I am triggering other functions in the middle of the Tween
//code sample
var playOnce:Boolean = true;
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time .2) playOnce == true) {
Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3);
playOnce = false;
}
}
//end of sample
Which of course doesnt want to cooperate, I have tried to pass a reference
of the class into the Tween but still it wants to use itself as a reference
rather than the refence passed into it. Any Ideas? I will keep googling in
the mean time...

RE: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time .2) playOnce == true) {
Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3);
Because that's not how delegate works exactly :) - there is no scope
address to resetWin3 inside of the tween.onMotionChanged event. Instead
you should do it like this:
myTween.onMotionChanged = Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3)
If you want to pass an argument to the function then that's easy enough:
var myDel:Object = myTween.onMotionChanged = Delegate.create(scope,
resetWin3)
myDel.myArgument = hello
then in the resetWin3 function:
function resetWin3():Void
{
myVar = arguments.caller.myArgument
}

This looks like a lot of very strange stuff is going on in the design of this
code. I think you should explain what you want to do at a very high level so we
can see if there is a better and simpler way to accomplish it. (I can't figure
out where the Delegate mentioned in the subject line is coming from, either.)

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
In the piece of code that I just sent basically what is happening is this:
Start Tween = Tween length 1 sec
If it has elapsed .2 seconds then trigger a function
And my problem was that once the .2 seconds have happened the function wasnt
called since it was inside an If statement inside the onMotionChanged
function inside the Tween class
//Sample
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time .2) playOnce == true) {
// FunctionCallHappens here
playOnce = false;
}
}
//end of sample
But as Jason explained making an object and then referencing to it seems to
work great. So the final question is, Did I explain my situation correctly
and would this be a good approach or should I think it over?
Thanks

So I figured it out or at least I think I did,
private var target: myClass;
function myClass(){
target = this;
}
now I can reference to properties within a class without breaking the
app.
So in the same lines, is there anyway to code the classe so that we
don't
have to reference to the properties and methods within the class without
having to say
target.objectA._x = 130;
but just have
objectA._x = 130;
Thanks

to each other and I can have them talk back and forth like this
_level0.instance1.myVariable = blah;
but this of course wont work when the movie is loaded into a new movie
because the reference will be lost and changes to
_level0.movieHolder.instance1.myVariable = blah;
and of course it breaks the app.
Thanks again,

Subject: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
I understand that when instantiating a class you can set the
scope where the instance is going to run, but how about when
we dont actually instantiate the class on the timeline but we
just link the class directly to the items on the stage, how
is the scope treated in this case? I assume the class has to
be instantiated on itself or do we need a separate class to
keep track of this item?
TIA

Anyone know how to feed what a visitor is viewing in an iframe into a dynamic list, the iframe will have a search engine built into it? Wrong thread, but seems you could use External Interface with Javscript communication. Will require some coding both on the HTML page and the flash file.
