Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing MovieClips on a timeline from an AS3 class

I'm afraid that makes no sense to me. It's perfectly allright to make instances private, as long as they're created through code. package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import fl.controls.Button; public class MyComponent extends MovieClip { private var _btn:Button; function MyCompon

Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing MovieClips on a timeline from an AS3 class

Hi Helen, I'm aware of the lack of private (and protected) constructors. What I'm talking about is something different though. It's about assets (movieclips or whatever) that are part of a class, but placed on stage rather than created through code. Let's say you have a movieclip "MyComponent" w

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing MovieClips on a timeline from an AS3 class

Sorry, I wasn't clear about my theory. Let me try again. I think that you have to declare variables that represent stage instances as public because Flash CS3 automatically executes an assignment statement at runtime that involves those variables. If those variables are declared as private, they ar

Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing MovieClips on a timeline from an AS3 class

I'm aware of the differences, I just don't understand why it *has* to be public. Or put differently, I don't like that it has to be public. If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with the display list. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: "Francis Cheng" <[EMAIL PROTECTED

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing MovieClips on a timeline from an AS3 class

I'm guessing that the odd reason has something to do with the behavior of the "private" attribute in AS2 versus AS3. As most of you are aware, the "private" attribute in AS2 only restricts access at compile time. In AS3, however, "private" restricts access at both compile time and runtime. Just a g

Hi Matt, AS3 is slightly different. You need to say: private var fullScreen_mc:MovieClip = getChildByName("fullscreen"); Note that the reference (fullscreen_mc) can't be the same as the name on the stage ("fullscreen"). Also in AS3 you can actually set instance variables outside of functions. I
