Document Class reference

This might be tough for me to explain but here it goes:
I have a textField in Frame 1 of a swf. that swf has a
document class. When I compile that swf i can change the text in
the textField easily with textField.appendText(text);
However, when I compile a second swf which references that
document class that textField gives me an error on compile because
it does not exist in the document class of the swf it is referring
to. How do I solve that? When I compile I get an 1120:Access Denied
undefined property error. If I try to define the textField in my
document class like private var textField; I get a confilct with
namespace internal ....
SWF 2 has no idea SWF 1 has no idea SWF 1 has a textField in
its timeline when it is compiling.
Is there a way around this or do I have to create the
textField in my document class? There has to be a way to mix
sprites in a timeline and sprites in the document class.

You need to do two things to get it to compile.
1. In Publish Settings -> ActionScript Settings UNCHECK
the Automatically declare stage instances box.
2. Declare your text field as public: public var
textField:TextField;

Document Classes and other Questions

Basically, i am working on an application that will eventually be deployed to the desktop as an AIR application.
I am wanting to create an Analogue clock and Digital clock with a button that toggles the display between either one when pressed. As well as this, i will be wanting to display the Date below, i am having a number of issues however.
I have the code sorted for three of the four components, i have not attempted to figure out the button thus far as i would be more than happy to have the digital clock, analogue clock and date all being displayed on a drag and drop desktop application first. When i say i have it sorted, i have a fully working analogue clock which i have managed to display on the desktop through air on its lonesome, however, i did not include the drag and drop function. For the digital clock and date components i am not sure how to configure them into document classes. The main issue i am having is i do not know if you can reference a dynamic text box within a movie clip to a document class.
This is the code to show the date
[code]{
var currentTime:Date = new Date();
var month:Array = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","Octo ber","November","December");
var dayOfWeek:Array = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
date_text.text = dayOfWeek[currentTime.getDay()] + " " + currentTime.getDate() + " " + month[currentTime.getMonth()] + " " + currentTime.getFullYear();
[/code]
I have put the actionscript frame inside the movie clip file, and i have given both the movie clip, and the dynamic text box within the movie clip the instance name "date_text".
Basically, i am just struggling in how to put this code into a working document class, since the digital clock and date functions are both, some what similar, i feel the solution to one will more than likely lead to me discovering the solution for the other.
The other problem i am having, i do not know how i will display all of the components on one air application. I am assuming, that you create one other document class file which links the other four together? i have tried to do this by just linking a new FLA file with the analogue clock, but it does not work. The code for that is below.
[code]package
          import flash.events.Event;
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          public class time1 extends MovieClip
                    public var now:Date;
                    public function time1()
                              // Update screen every frame
                              addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterFrameHandler);
                    // Event Handling:
                    function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void
                              now = new Date();
                              // Rotate clock hands
                              hourHand_mc.rotation = now.getHours()*30+(now.getMinutes()/2);
                              minuteHand_mc.rotation = now.getMinutes()*6+(now.getSeconds()/10);
                              secondHand_mc.rotation = now.getSeconds()*6;
[/code]
That is the original clock document class (3 Movie clips for the moving hands, and the clock face is a graphic, which i may have to reference somehow below)?
[code]package
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          public class main extends MovieClip
                    public var hourHand_mc:time1;
                    public var minuteHand_mc:time1;
                    public var secondHand_mc:time1;
                    public function main()
                              hourHand_mc = new SecondHand();
                              addChild(mySecondHand);
                              hourHand_mc.x = 75;
                              hourHand_mc.y = 75;
                              minuteHand_mc = new SecondHand();
                              addChild(mySecondHand);
                              minuteHand_mc.x = 75;
                              minuteHand_mc.y = 75;
                              secondHand_mc = new SecondHand();
                              addChild(mySecondHand);
                              secondHand.x = 75;
                              secondHand.y = 75;
}[/code]
This is my attempt at creating the main document class in a seperate FLA file to attempt to load the analogue clock, and later on the Digital Clock, Date Function and Toggle Display button in the same AIR application.
Any help on this is much appreciated, i have been reading up a lot on it through tutorials and the like, but i can't seem to fully grasp it.

why do you have code in a movieclip?
if you want to follow best practice and use a document class you should remove almost all code from timelines. the only timeline code that might be reasonably used would be a stop() on the first frame of multiframe movieclips.
so, you should have a document class. that could contain all your code but it would be better to just have your document class create your 2 clocks and date objects and possibly manage toggling between the two clocks. you could have a separate class the tracks the time and date and that class is used by your two clock classes and your date class.

Archivelink - Document Class * - All docs stored with text/x-docType mime

Hi,
I have configured an archivelink document type (OAC2) to use document class *, ie it can accept any file and not restricted to a particular type. Document is being stored on archive server with a mime type of text/x-docType and therefore when you try retrieve it, SAP GUI isnt able to determine the mime type and only offers the 'Save As' dialog box, ie doesnt open in the SAP Viewer.
I have previously used this * configuration on another clients system and it works correctly, the file is stored with the correct mime type and therefore is retrieved correctly.
Any ideas why using the * config is forcing the mime type to text/x-docType?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
Transaction SPRO - SAP Reference IMG - SAP Netweaver - Application Server - Basis Services - ArchiveLink - Basic Customizing - Edit Document Classes
The very first entry will be * and the MIME type is by default text/x-docType.

All my content is at 1st frame of my FLA file...and I'm using Document Class... When I try to shift my content to 2nd frame, so I can use 1st frame for preloader.. but its not working...
This is my document class... Basically at 1st frame I'm loading external jpg image to a MovieClip..
Is it possible, I can **** my MovieClip and other content to 2nd frame of the timeline... ??? and Document Class work???

               bottomNav.y = Math.floor(stage.stageHeight - bottomNav.height - 0);

If you have code in your main class that references specific movieclips on the stage, they have to be on every frame you plan on using.
If you have a movieclip named "pic" on frame 2, but you are referencing it right away in the main class, which starts on frame 1, then it is looking for a movieclip that does not exist until you move it to frame 2

Document Class vs Timeline code differences...

I'm trying to hunt down some kind of class conflict I seem to be having when using TweeLite easing and found out the same code that errors in a document class works fine if I place it in the timeline.
Example - this works in frame one of the timeline:
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
TweenLite.to(obj, 1, { x:200, ease:Bounce.easeOut } );
If however I make a very simple document class like so:
package
      import com.greensock.TweenLite;
      import com.greensock.easing.*;
      import flash.display.MovieClip;
      public class Main extends MovieClip
           public function Main()
                TweenLite.to(obj, 1, { x:200, ease:Bounce.easeOut } );
I get an error when compiling:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property easeOut through a reference with static type Class.
So what's the differences between using a document class and timeline code?

Odd... seems to have been a caching issue. I renamed the class, rebooted, and deleted ASO files and now it's working. Funny thing is that I never need to delete ASO files before... any thoughts on why this would stay cached?
And, after rebooting I can make changes and don't need to delete ASO files either.
Thanks!

Document Class Error

I am working with Windows Vista Business if that makes a
difference in this question.
I am testing a class file for NoScale called NoScale.as
I have created the class file attached.
I have saved the class file in the same location as the fla
file.
I put in the document.class box: NoScale
Whenever I publish, I receive the following error:
5008: The name of definition 'Main' does not reflect the
location of this file. Please change the definition's name inside
this file, or rename the file.
C:\Users\%UserName%\Desktop\Website\Reference Flas\NoScale.as
(Note: I have replaced my username with %UserName%)
I have attempted to put
C:\Users\%UserName%\Desktop\Website\Reference Flas\NoScale.as into
the document class box and I receive an error telling me that the
\'s are incorrect and are not allowed.

I know that the classes are code that is prewritten so you
can use the functions within.
The answer to your question is No, I don't know what the
classes are doing because I am just beginning with AS3 and Flash 9.
However, my question is Why does my code work with no
problems without importing any of those classes into the code when
I don't put anything into the Document class: [ box ].
As soon as I wanted to give my flash header the ability to
resize itself, I found out that I had to create a .as or class file
with the above code in it to give it that capability. Once I did
that I found out that I had to use the document class box in order
to link that class file to the SWF. Once I created a proper .as
file named NoScale and typed NoScale into the document class box,
all of a sudden a ton of errors happen wanting me to include the
flash.blah.blah files. If I remove the NoScale from the document
class box and do nothing else, the project works just fine.
That is what I don't understand.
Wayne
Adding the following did fix the errors. Thanks.

Flash CS5 - document class relative path & package location

It seems I have no trouble pointing an FLA's document class to my project's class package when the FLA is at the same root level as the package's top-level directory. However, if the FLA is nested in a sub-directory, then relative paths to a class nested in the package will not work.
example package & class location : com.company.project.ClassName
Case1 :
Package location : \MyProject
FLA location : \MyProject
where document class path is : "./com/company/project"
Case 2 ( does not work ) :
Package location : \MyProject
FLA location : \MyProject\MySubFolder
where document class path is : "../com/company/project"
If someone can provide an explanation as to why nested FLAs can't point to custom packages in parent-level directories, OR demonstrate how this can be done, it would be much appreciated.
Now that I think on, both paths are relative, which makes this more confusing.
Thank you.

You are correct.
I'm setting the "Document class" of an FLA file to a custom Class.
The class is embedded/nested in the package directories of my project.
The FLA is nest not at the same level as the root of the package, but in a sub-directory.
Therefore, I need a relative path to point to the parent directory, then to the package.
The occurs in both Win and Mac.
I'm almost expecting someone to say FLAs can only point to packages in the same directory, but does not seem correct. Application-level classpaths can reference anywhere on your system, but are global. Document-level classpaths should be able to point to relative paths since a project needs to be portable, right? See attached image for example.

Access a mc or textfeild from a non document class.

Hey all.
This use to be simple in as2, but seems to allude me from as3. It used to be simple to access an object you put on the stage like a mc or dynamic text field by simply using _root.instanceName ect. Now I see references to making references to the Stage and such like:
private var stage:Stage;
stage = stageRef;
and I am still confused.
What I have going on is, I have placed a movieclip on the stage in Flash and gave it an instance name of Cell_mc.
I have a cusom class that extends MovieClip with the following imports
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
This Class is tied to a set of MovieClips in my Library.
I have a listener: this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,pickUp);
And a function:
private function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void
                  this.startDrag();
                  _interval = new Timer(100);
                  _interval.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,onInterval);
                  _interval.start();
And
private function onInterval(event:TimerEvent):void
                  //Set up hit test
                  this.hitArea(Cell_mc)
                        trace("hit");
I get the following error whenever I try to access an object I placed on the stage from anywhere other than the document class:
1120: Access of undefined property Cell_mc.
How do I access the cell_mc that is already on the stage from this non-document class?
Thanks guys.

Document Class initialising Application

Hi
I have started learning AS3. One thing I seem to be missing
the point over is the following:
I have a Document Class as follows:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import com.Application;
public class EntryPoint extends Sprite {
public function EntryPoint() {
var app:Application = new Application();
The document class creates an instance of the Application
class
package com {
import flash.display.*;
public class Application extends Sprite{
public function Application() {
var mc_root:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(mc_root);
var circleTest:CircleTest = new CircleTest();
mc_root.addChild(circleTest);
CircleTest is a library item that has a class reference of
'CircleTest' and a Base Class of 'flash.display.Sprite'.
I can only get the above working if the code is in the
Document Class.
Help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi. Without looking closely, I'd think the problem is that
you're adding the circle to the app, but not onto the document
class instance (and neither is app added as a child to your main
class)
so the circle is just in limbo.
You can look at the diagram in Flash Help- under: Basics of
display programming

Change default association with DOCUMENT class

Hi
Is it possible to change the default association of files in IFS with the DOCUMENT class to a subclass of DOCUMENT?
I would like to make a subclass of DOCUMENT with additional attributes and, by default, associate ALL uploaded files with that subclass.
If this is a setting in IFS manager, would someone be able to tell me what to change?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much
Hugo

Hi,
Yes, you have to associate the basic content type with the document library manually. You can refer to the following powershell:
#Get site object and
#specify name of the content type to look for in each library
$site = Get-SPSite http://portal
$lookForCT = "Sales Document"
#Walk through each site in the site collection
$site | Get-SPWeb -Limit all | ForEach-Object {
write-host "Checking site:"$_.Title
#Go through each document library in the site
$_.Lists | where { $_.BaseTemplate -eq "DocumentLibrary" } | ForEach-Object {
write-host "Checking list:"$_.Title
$_.ContentTypesEnabled = $true
#Check to see if the library contains the content type specified
#at the start of the script
if (($_.ContentTypes | where { $_.Name -eq $lookForCT }) -eq $null)
write-host "No content type exists with the name" $lookForCT "on list" $_.Title
else
#Add site content types to the list
$ctToAdd = $site.RootWeb.ContentTypes["HR Document"]
$ct = $_.ContentTypes.Add($ctToAdd)
write-host "Content type" $ct.Name "added to list" $_.Title
$ctToAdd = $site.RootWeb.ContentTypes["IT Document"]
$ct = $_.ContentTypes.Add($ctToAdd)
write-host "Content type" $ct.Name "added to list" $_.Title
$_.Update()
#Dispose of the site object
$site.Dispose()

Document Class / Action Script Help

Dear all,
From a tutorial page, i manage to built this flash page with
xml capabilities. but when i add more scene to the flash page, i
have errors like this.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at MyContent/init()
at MyContent()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at MyContent/onComplete()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
How do i edit the "MyContent.as" file so that i can add more
scene to the flash.
I understand that, once i put the "MyContent.as" in the
document class, it will load immediately, is there any way to tell
it to load only in scene 2 (which is where the xml is needed).
Thanks. Any help will be very grateful.
Attach is the actionscript

other then defining the document class, can i "call up" the
MyContent.as (external script) when needed?
If this can be done, what must i do to add into the .fla file
and the .as file..
Sorry, i'm very new to AS3.
Thanks!!!

Hang Calling function after Document Class' Event.ADDED

I was trying to load an external SWF (that contains the below code in its document class) with the Loader class but i keep on receiving Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. So i tried to use the event listener Event.ADDED in MyDocumentClass constructor of the external SWF to let the document class be part of the display list before i invoke createRandomGraph. But when i place createRandomGraph( ) inside onStageReady, The compilation process hangs. When i leave the createRandomGraph( ) inside the constructor, it works perfectly as stand alone but will produce Error 1009 if loaded within the loader SWF. Any ideas?
public function MyDocumentClass( )
    this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onStageReady);
    createRandomGraph( )
private function onStageReady(oEvent:Event):void
    this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED, onStageReady);
private function createRandomGraph( ):void
    var cRandomGraph:RandomGraph = new RandomGraph();
    cRandomGraph.x = 10;
    cRandomGraph.y = stage.stageHeight - nH - 25;
    cRandomGraph.setDimensions(nW,nH);
    cRandomGraph.createGraphBackground();
    this.addChild(cRandomGraph);

use:
public function MyDocumentClass( )
    this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onStageReady);
private function onStageReady(oEvent:Event):void
    this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED, onStageReady);
createRandomGraph();
private function createRandomGraph( ):void
    var cRandomGraph:RandomGraph = new RandomGraph();
    cRandomGraph.x = 10;
    cRandomGraph.y = stage.stageHeight - nH - 25;
    cRandomGraph.setDimensions(nW,nH);
    cRandomGraph.createGraphBackground();
    this.addChild(cRandomGraph);

AddChild in non-document class

Hello, I'm trying to migrate the hundreds of lines of code in
my main actions frame into classes.
Could someone be so kind as to tell me how to use the
addChild in a class that isn't the document class. I have got my
file structure setup with the package folder and the main document
class in the .fla root.
I can trace from secondary classes but not use addChild and I
am about to lose my mind!
I have included one of my the classes so you can see how I
have worked it.

I am trying to catch up to AS3 from older versions of Flash,
so I may be wrong about this.
from what I understand, the only way to reference the stage
is to use the stage property from an item already on the stage,
such as your main document class (or another sprite or movie clip
on the stage). as it stands you are adding 'aCloud' as a child of
the new CloudClass object, not as a child of the stage. so..
MyClouds.stage.addchild(aCloud);
also, the other poster was right about the typo--
aCloud:captionCloud = new captionCloud();
one other thing I don't understand, maybe I'm missing
something-- where is the "captionCloud" class? is it public, or at
least accessable by CloudClass? also wouldn't it be a better idea
to define all the properties for a captionCloud object in a method
of the captionCloud class, and then use CloudClass to control the
relationship between all the different captionCloud objects (but
not their internal properties such as alpha, x, y, etc). this seems
more OOP appropriate to me.
anyway, i'd like to know what finally works for you, please
post your solution when you figure it out. i'm just starting on my
1st AS3 project.

Returns Process - Billing Document with reference to delivery

In standard returns process we are creating billing document with reference to sales order.
How can we make the billing dcoument to be created with refernce to delivery as the business wants the invoice document to be created only when the delivery is posted.

With Regards

Hi Raees,
Isnt your process flow like this: Sales Order>Delivery>Billing>Return Order>Return Delivery-->Billing?
In general, to ensure that you're creating the invoice always w/ref to a delivery document pls do the following:
1) In VOV8, where you cnofigure your sales doc type remove the order related billing i.e. keep it blank.
2) In VOV8, put the billing doc in delivery relevant doc.
3) In VOV8, in shipping section put the delivery doc type.
4) Create copy controls between the delivery doc type and billing in VTFL at header and item levels.
5) In the item category for this order type+ item cat grp ensure the billing relevance is either B, C or F.
6) Maintain no copy controls between sales order and the billing in VTFA.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Raghu.
