Creating class instances at different depths

I have a custom class called line that takes two sets of co
ordinates and draws a line between them.
The class uses _root.createEmptyMovieClip() to make a
container to draw in to but I need it to draw in to other movies on
the stage in a similar way to createEmptyMovieClip() eg
_root.childClip1.childClip2.line=new Line(x1,y1,x2,y2);
I have tried createEmptyMovieClip(),
this.createEmptyMovieClip(), _parent.createEmptyMovieClip() etc but
with no joy.
How can my Line constructor function get the path information
from the declaration or do I have to pass it as a parameter?

Whenever I design a class, that class always takes a
target:MovieClip parameter. then I create a container for the class
inside that target. This way, I can place my class objects inside
any clip I so desire at any level.

Problem referencing a newly created class instance - I don't understand why

Hi,
I am completely new to actionscript although I do come from a OOP background. I have been asked to trial Flash and Actionscript 3 in particular - so I do come with a few preconceptions on how I expect actionscript to behave.
I have a problem I donot understand. I have created a new class and to test it I use a simple test harness in the form of a .fla file.
The issue I have is when I create a new instance of the class and assign it to a variable, subsequent background changes to that instance of the class are not 'picked-up' when referenced through the variable. I would expect that given instance of class could be assigned to many different variables and any updates using one variable would accessible using any of the other variables.
My test class, XMLDataLoader, is coded as follows:
package {
    public class XMLDataLoader {
        import flash.events.*;
        import flash.net.*;
        import flash.utils.*
        private var _xmlData:XML;
        private var _xmlLoaded:Boolean;
        public function XMLDataLoader(pFileName:String){
            init(pFileName);
        public function getXMLData():XML {
            return this._xmlData;
        public function XMLLoaded():Boolean {
            return this._xmlLoaded;
        private function init(pFileName:String):void
            // Create the URLLoader instance to be able to load data
              var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( );
            var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pFileName);
            this._xmlLoaded = false;
            // Define the event handlers to listen for success and failure
               loader.addEventListener ( Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete );
            loader.load(urlRequest);
            function handleComplete ( e:Event ):void
                trace ( "The data has successfully loaded" );
                this.xmlData = new XML(e.currentTarget.data);
                this._xmlLoaded = true;
The class simply reads a text file and assigns its contents to the class variable _xmlData. The class variable _xmlLoaded identifies when the load is complete.
The test harness is a simple flash app consisting if a single timeline with 1 frame, 1 symbol on the stage and the following actionscript code:
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var t:XMLDataLoader = new XMLDataLoader("Test Article.xml");
var xmlData:XML;
var waits:uint = 0;
wait(1);
function wait(ct:uint):void
    var TimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(500, 1);
    TimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, TimerHandler);
    TimerInstance.start();
    function TimerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void
       if(t.XMLLoaded()){
            xmlData = t.getXMLData();
            trace(xmlData.toXMLString);
        } else {
            trace(ct + " - Waiting....");
            if (ct <= 10) {
                wait(++ct);
The script defines a variable and assigns it a new instance of the XMLDataLoader. Originally, I immediately followed this with a trace statement but insuffient time had elapsed to allow the load to complete, so I had to introduce a wait function to force a delay. This wait function is recursive. It checks to see if the load is complete. If it is, a trace statement will outoput the xml. If not the function will call itself again (upto 10 times)
The resultant output is as follows:
The data has successfully loaded
1 - Waiting....
2 - Waiting....
3 - Waiting....
4 - Waiting....
5 - Waiting....
6 - Waiting....
7 - Waiting....
8 - Waiting....
9 - Waiting....
10 - Waiting....
According to this output, the XML has been loaded before the end of the first timer cycle but this is not detected in the test harness. I have stepped through the code in debug mode and I have confirmed that the XML was loaded, and the class variables where correctly set, including _xmlLoaded = true. However, in the test harness the instance both class variables are null. I don't believe this should be the case but obviously I must be wrong - can anyone explain where my logic is flawed. I did think scoping might be the problem but having tried a couple of modifications, I concluded that it wasn't.
Thanks in advance.

never nest named functions. unnest TimerHandler and retest.
(and, you should be using listener to determine when loading is complete.)

Creating Class Instances from Strings

Folks,
I have a class called Employee. I would like to create instances of this class based on the user input in certain JTextFields in a form. For instance, if the user inputs First Name = John and Last Name = Doe, then the instance John_Doe of the Employee Class is created. I played w/ newInstance() and Class.forName() but can't seem to get that working. Does this require reflection? I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
steve

Dear jverd (and walken),
Thanks for your note. I'm sorry, I don't really
understand what you mean by "is the class determined
at runtime or just the parameters?"It sounds like walker answered your immediate questions, but just to clear up this (which I guess I didn't state very clearly), what I meant was, will you sometimes be creating an Employee, and sometimes some other class, or will it only be the employee's name, etc., that's different for each one you create?
If, at the time you're writing your code, you know which class you're creating, then you don't need reflection. You just do new WhateverTheClassIs() (possibly passing parameters, such as names, to the constructor.
On the other hand, if the class to be instantiated will be determined at runtime--maybe you prompt the user for which class, and he enters "Employee"--then you need to use reflection.
You shouldn't need to worry about reflection for a while. Get the fundamentals of the language solidly under your belt before you tackle that. Good luck! :-)

How to create an instance

Hi all,
Actually, I want to create an instance without priting or sending to any destination.
My code steps should be:
1. logon
2. get report object
3. set parameters information
4. create an instance / schedule report
once I create all instances for different reports, then I need to read all created instance objects (report with data populated) and sent to printer.
Is this possible? If possible, please suggest how to proceed further.
Thanks,
Krishna

Creating custom class instances for XML nodes

Hi guys,
I'm trying to load an external XML document in my application
and create an instance of a custom class for each node in the XML
based on the value of some of their elements. The instances created
will eventually end up in a DataGrid by the way. The problem I'm
having is there seems to be many ways of doing small parts of this
and I have no idea how to make them all gel. Initially I'm using
HTTPService to load the XML file but I've seen people just use an
XML object. Then, after that, I initially set the loaded XML to an
ArrayCollection but others have used XMLList or XMLListCollection.
I've no idea what's the best way to do this.
Eventually, when I've created all of these instances by
looping over the XML and creating them how will I make them
bindable to the data grid? I'm guessing I'll have to group them
somehow...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey Tracy,

Creating an instance of a class from within another class

please help I think I have tried everything!

Use code tags (http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting)
Don't import java.lang.* . You get those automatically.
Your MCQ class is really Q.MCQ (the way you posted, anyway).
If Q weren't abstract, you could do:
new Q().new MCQ(...)But, you can't create a Q without defining 'add'. You could do it anonymously, but that makes no sense. Put Q and MCQ in separate files and try again.

Create an instance of my class variable

Hello all,
I'm a newbie to iPhone/iPad programming and am having some trouble, I believe the issue is that I'm not creating an instance of my class variable. I've got a class that has a setter and a getter, I know about properties but am using setters and getters for the time being. I've created this class in a View-based application, when I build the program in XCode 3.2.6 everything builds fine. When I step through the code with the debugger there are no errors but the setters are not storing any values and thus the getters are always returning 0 (it's returning an int value). I've produced some of the code involved and I was hoping someone could point out to me where my issue is, and if I'm correct about not instantiating my variable, where I should do that. Thanks so much in advance.
<p>
Selection.h
@interface Selection : NSObject {
int _choice;
//Getters
-(int) Choice;
//Setters
-(void) setChoice:(int) input;
Selection.m
#import "Selection.h"
@implementation Selection
//Getters
-(int)Choice {
return _choice;
//Setter
-(void)setChoice:(int)input{
          _choice = input;
RockPaperScissorsViewController.m
#import "RockPaperScissorsViewController.h"
@implementation RockPaperScissorsViewController
@synthesize rockButton, paperButton, scissorsButton, label;
//@synthesize humanChoice, computerChoice;
-(void)SetLabel:(NSString *)selection{
          label.text = selection;
-(IBAction)rockButtonSelected {
//          [self SetLabel:@"Rock"];
          [humanChoice setChoice:1];
</p>
So in the above code it's the [humanChoice setChoice:1] that is not working. When I step through that portion with the debugger I get no errors but when I call humanChoice.Choice later on in the code I get a zero.
-NifflerX

It worked, thank you so much. I put
humanChoice = [[Selection alloc]init];
In viewDidLoad and it worked like a charm. Thank you again.

Why portal server can't create an instance of axis.Service class?

Hi,gurus,
We developed a uwl custom connector,The time out occured in that custom connector.After adding the time out value from 30s to 300s,the problem still existed.
The code is like below:
String endpoint = "http://172.16.127.4:8080/appframe-web/services/WorkItemService";
Service service = new Service(); // time out code
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress(endpoint);
call.setOperationName("wisForPortal");
call.addParameter("userCode", org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_STRING, javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode.IN);/
call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_STRING);
String temp = "36";
Object result = call.invoke(new Object[]{temp});
The time out occured when the portal server create an instance of Service class.Does that mean the server can't find the jars?
But the object declaration like "Service service=null;" is all right.
Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

I have a project called 'Default EAR' in my workspace.
But I can't add the JAR to the that project. These instructions are for WSAD 4, but I assume WSAD 5 is similar:
Go to menu File and select Import. Choose "File System" to import from. Specify "Default EAR" as your folder and select the jar file from the directory/browse prompt.
This is assuming your web app is connected to Default EAR and not some other EAR file. Also once you've done this, you will find that the jar file automatically becomes part of your build path. You didn't have to do anything extra to make that happen.

Creating multiple instances of a class in LabVIEW object-oriented programming

How do you create multiple instances of a class in a loop? Or am I thinking about this all wrong?
For instance, I read in a file containing this information:
Person Name #1
Person Age #1
Hobby #1
Hobby #2
Hobby #3
Person Name #2
Person Age #2
Hobby #1
Hobby #2
Hobby #3
Person Name #3
Person Age #3
Hobby #1
Hobby #2
Hobby #3
If I define a Person class with name, age, and an array of strings (for the hobbies), how can I create several new Person instances in a loop while reading through the text file?
FYI, new to LabVIEW OOP but familiar with Java OOP. Thank you!

First of all, let's get your terminology correct. You are not creating multiple instances of a class. You are creating Objects of the class.
Use autoindexing to create an array of your class type.

How to create an instance of a class which is stored in a String?

I've class name stored in a String Object.
now i've to create an instance of that class name.
How?

This is very dangerous ground because you give up compile-time safety, but you can get a Class object using Class.forName(String). Then you can use methods of the class Class to operate on it (including creating an instance).

How to create an instance of a protected class outside the enclosing packag

Hi all,
I have a piece of code like this:
package test;
public class A {
protected class B { }
How to create an instance of B outside the package test ? Could you please give me an example ?
Thanks
Ha Chau

Thank WirajR for your reply, but in your solution,
you have to create an instance of B inside class A
and pass it outside. I would like to know whetherwe
can create an instance of class B outside thepackage
test. That means I want the instance creation
expression of B appears outside the package test.Can
we do that?
If you want to use a class this way then it shouldn't
be marked protected. I can't see why you don't
just declare it public if that's what it is.
Wouldn't be much point to haveing a protected
modifier if it had no effect, would there?I think there is use for it if you use an interface to filter out the parts you want to give public access to, and keep the part you want to keep protected, protected

How to create an instance of a class?

how do you create sn instance of a class, and how do you call a method from another class?

You may need to read thru the information provided on this page to understand how to create objects: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/objectcreation.html
I'd also suggest you read the tutorial available at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/index.html
Regarding how you call a method belonging to another class you could do it in the foll. ways depending on whether the method is static or not - a static method may be called using the class name followed by a dot and the static method name while a non-static method would require you to create an instance of the class and then use that instance name followed by a dot and the method name. All said and done i'd still suggest you read thru the complete Java programming tutorial to get a good grounding on all these concepts and fundamentals of the language if you are looking to master the technology.

Creating an instance of a class with no default constructor

Hello gurus,
I wrote my own serialization and RMI protocol for both C++ and Java that follows closely what the default Java version does. I'm trying to recreate an object on the Java side that was sent over the wire. The first step is to create an instance of the class. How do I create an instance of a class that has no constructor (i.e. the only instances are static, created by the class itself and returned by static methods) or one that has no default constructor (like Integer)? The Java serialization seems to support it but the reflection API doesn't seem to have any support for this (i.e. Class::newInstance() and Constructor::newInstance()). It seems that through the standard API you can only create an object via one of its constructors. There must be a "hidden" method somewhere that allows the Java serialization to create an object without calling a constructor - where is it?
Dominique

There must be a "hidden" method
somewhere that allows the Java serialization to create
an object without calling a constructor - where is
it?You are correct, the way in which the Serialization creates Objects is "hidden" deep within the runtime.
If it were not hidden, you would be able to find it, and use it to violate the integrity of the VM.

Creating an instance of a class at runtime?

Does anyone know how to create an instance of a class at RunTime? For example, I want to load classes from a JAR file at RunTime, and then create instances of certain classes of each JAR. I ask this because I do not see how to create an instance of one of those classes the traditional way, SomeClass var = new SomeClass(). I am pretty sure that someone out there has done this and succeeded in doing it. All of the post on this stuff only talk about loading the class from a JAR file, but I have already loaded them using URLClassLoader�s findClass() method. I have also created an instance of the class that findClass() returns using newInstance(), but newInstance() returns an object of type Object. How can I convert this object to an object of type SomeClass? You cannot cast it because the compiler will complain due to the import statement issue. So if you cannot include the import statement because that classpath does not exist, then how the heck would you cast the newInstance() object into a SomeClass object?

You can cast the returned object to the type you need...that is what I do in my applet. The trick is that you must get the instance of the applets class loader (or you get a classCastException). Pay attention to this line below - that's the real key here.
