External actionscript - regarding

Hi
Thanks in advance.
I have included one external action script file in my movie.
I have given it to developers and asked them to change the url link
to their need. But links are not working when they change. Old
links are persisting. What to do? The code is like this.

They need flash and publish the movie from scratch.
Flash doesn't actual load action script files, it compile
them upon Export/ Preview.
So editing the file will have no impact whatsoever as long as
you not going to
publish it again from Flash program.
You could use dynamic text and url's within, than they could
adjust at will.

How to import classes from an external actionscript file

This is driving me crazy, I've been trying to resolve this on my own for ages, and I've reviewed a lot of different materials, but I still can't seem to just import some external actionscript classes correctly.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 with the Flex 4 SDK on mac osx 10.6
the class I'm trying to import (I'll call it DesiredClass) is in a folder like this
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
within the class itself, the package declaration looks like this (I left all the guts out for clarity):
package com.foreignproject
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class DesiredClass extends Sprite
        public function DesiredClass()
I'm working on a totally different actionscript file at
/Users/username/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4/TestProject/src/TestProject.as
in this file I try to import the DesiredClass:
package
     import com.foreignproject.DesiredClass;
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     public class TestProject extends Sprite
          public function TestProject()
          var neatClass:DesiredClass = new DesiredClass();
And then I try to add the class I want to the source path.
I've tried adding each folder to the source path separately:
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
/libraries/com/foreignproject/com/foreignproject/DesiredClass.as
If I choose the libraries folder or either of the com folders then an error shows up in theTestProject.as file, saying:
Definition com.foreignproject:DesiredClass could not be found.
But f I choose either of the foreignproject folders then an error shows up in theDesiredClass.as file saying:
a file found in a source-path must have the same package structure 'com.foreignproject', as the definition's package, ".
What am I doing wrong? Please help. I bought a book on actionscript, started doing the flex-in-a-week series, read numerous online discussion boards, and I still can't import these classes.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this method is supported anymore but you can give it a try.
If you backed up bookmarks in IE using the following directions, you should be good!
*In IE, "File -> Import and Export -> Export Cookies".
*Open newly exported "cookies.txt" in a text editor and put a period before every line that starts with a domain. So a line starting with <b>altavista.com TRUE / FALSE 1388491200 AV_ALL 1</b> will become <b>.altavista.com TRUE / FALSE 1388491200 AV_ALL 1</b>
*Then, move the "cookies.txt" file to your profile folder.
You can get to the Profile folder two ways
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

External Actionscript File not being Included

Odd problem:
Myself and a colleague are working on a project. We're both
using Flash 8. We've both downloaded the latest Flash player.
The project involves a series of perfume bottles, all lined
up in a row. When you press a key on the keyboard, the associate
bottle enlarges and some info on it appears. At the same time the
other bottles fade out (an alpha change).
The alpha change is driven using an external actionscript
file, which is called (#include) at the top of the first line of
script in the ‘main’ movie.
The problem is, when I publish the swf file, the alpha change
doesn’t work. When my colleague publishes it, it works. Why
is this? It’s almost as if in publishing from my computer,
the external .AS file is being ignored.
I’ve tried calling the .AS file using a full path to
the file. No change.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash
player, and older version of the player. No change.
Here’s something else that’s odd: I’ve
tried copying all the script from the external .AS file and
embedding it into the main movie. No change. Is it that the
publishing from my computer is corrupted? Other things I’ve
published recently have worked fine?
Any ideas?

Yes, I've opened the AS file, and it seems ok. I've also had
it sent to me a couple of times in case it got corrupted in
transit.
I've also tried copying the script from the AS file and
embedding it into the 'main' movie at the #include statement (and
removing the #include statement) so it doesn't have to look for the
AS file, but this hasn't helped.
I'll try making a different AS file with the trace statement
you suggested, but I have other movies that call external AS
statements, and they work.
We're both running XP Pro w/ SP2.

Classes may only be defined in external ActionScript 2.0 class scripts.

i try to use the BitmapExporter 2.2.
i inserted the .as file into the first frame in my fla but
when i try to test movie i get
"Classes may only be defined in external ActionScript 2.0
class scripts."
since i am not expert in extensions - what did i do wrong and
hoe can i properly use this extension?

remove the .as file code from your fla. put the .as file in
the same directory with your flash files. when you publish your
swf, flash will incorporate the .as code in your swf when you use
the new BitmapExporter() statement.

'Basic' external actionscript file/class usage

Hey All,
I'm a bit baffled by something that should, in my humble opinion, be a piece of cake...
The setup is really easy. A simple application with a single textinput, a button and a text component.
When the button is clicked a function is called that sets the text from the inputfield to the text component.
code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            public function click(inputText:String):void {
                outPutTxt.text = inputText;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:TextInput x="10" y="10" id="inputTxt"/>
    <mx:Button x="178" y="10" label="Button" id="Btn" click="{click(inputTxt.text)}"/>
    <mx:Text x="251" y="12" text="Text" id="outPutTxt"/>
</mx:Application>
As I said, really easy.
What I want to do is put the function 'click' into an external actionscript file or class. And still be able to, from within the external file, modify the outPutTxt stuff.
I'm aware that I could create a public bindable variable inside of the external file and then bind the outPutTxt to that variable, but I would really like to be able to 'simply' force the value...
Is that possible? If yes: how plix
If it's not possible, I'd like to know as well! And in that case, how would I then re-use the same instance of a class/file in multiple seperate components? Say I got a 'login' thingie where a user logs in (data stored externally in a seperate actionscript file/class) and I want to re-use that information on other pages... Or is this done automatically?
Any and all comments/answers are higly appreciated!
Pieter

Hey Levancho,
thanks for your answer!! Much appreciated.
However, the code you proposed threw an error...
Errormessage:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property outPutTxt not found on controls.Control and there is no default value.
    at controls::Control/btnClick()[C:\...\FlexTest_03\src\controls\Control.as:13]
    at FlexTest_03/__Btn_click()[C:\...\FlexTest_03\src\FlexTest_03.mxml:11]
So I tried something else where I bind the text in my OutPutTxt to a variable inside of the external class file.
Code:
Class:
package controls
    public class Control
        [Bindable]
        public var outPutText:String = "";
        public function Control()
        public function btnClick(inputText:String):void {
            this.outPutText = inputText;
Mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import controls.Control;
            [Bindable]
            private var control:Control = new Control();
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:TextInput x="10" y="10" id="inputTxt"/>
    <mx:Button x="178" y="10" label="Button" id="Btn" click="{control.btnClick(inputTxt.text)}"/>
    <mx:Text x="251" y="12" id="outPutTxt" text="{control.outPutText}"/>
</mx:Application>
And this basically did what I wanted to do... so I just need to do some major binding between my application and the classes I'll be using for my business logic.
Now for something else entirely...
Is there a way for me to pass the instance of my class between flex components?

Calling a function in an external actionscript

Hi. First of all I'd like to put my hands up and say that what I know about Flash is antiquated (I used to work with Flash 4 / 5), and have now been thrown into the deep end, as it were.
I have an application that has a button component. In an external actionscript file there's an event listener that calls a function when this button is pressed. I want to replace the button with a graphic that switches according to whether the button is 'on' or 'off'. I've created a movie clip that cycles back and forth between the on and off states when clicked, but the trouble I'm having is getting it to call the function. I have no idea how to do it, other than to just include function_name(); (or call.function_name();) in the onRelease handler (which doesn't work). Is it possible to use event listners for movie clips (rather than components?) Or else how can I call this function? It should be really simple and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get it to work! The function is declared 'public', by the way...
Oh yes, this is ActionScript 1 (I think...)
Eternal thanks and gratitude to anyone who can help me...

Do you mean to copy it here, or copy it into the fla? I've already tried doing the latter, which doesn't work - the script imports other external as files and I think that that's messing things up. The function only seems to work when it's located in this external file. The function I'm trying to call is
public function toggleAudio() {
       //if (btnAudio.label == "Sound Off") {
       if (_root.audio == "mute" or btnAudio2.label == "Sound Off") {
           trace("toggleAudio AUDIO: Off");
           //btnAudio.label = "Sound On";
           _root.audio = "unmute";
                     // stop recieving audio from in stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnInStream().receiveAudio(false) ;
           // stop sending audio on out stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnOutStream().attachAudio(null);
                 } else {
           trace("toggleAudio AUDIO: On");
           btnAudio2.label = "Sound Off";
           _root.audio = "mute";
                     // start recieving audio from in stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnInStream().receiveAudio(true);
           // start sending audio on out stream
           ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nsService").returnOutStream().attachAudio(Servic eLocator.getInstance().getService("camService").returnMic());
The bit at the beginning where I've commented some stuff out is where I've been trying out different things to get it to work.
For all intents and purposes though the function could be
public function please_work() {
trace("I work!");
All I need is for a way to call this from the main flash movie

Why do button functions included in external actionscript not persist across frames?

this one drives me nuts!
if i include an external actionscript file in frame one of my
movie, then [as you'd expect] all the functions, global variables
etc contained in that external AS file are available throughout my
movie - with one notable exception.
if i add a button to the stage - in a frame other than frame
one - whose onRelease handler is defined in the external AS, the
function is not called when the button is clicked - i have to
re-include the external AS file again on the frame in which the
button resides, in order for the buttons function to be called.
anyone know why this is - and if there's a way round it?
how come all the other functions in the AS persist across all
frames and all timelines in the movie, but the button handlers only
seem to be available on the actual frame in which the AS file is
included?

I think you and I are dealing with similar issues and the
root cause is referred to as "scope." The only difference between
your and my problems is that your code is in an external as file
and mine is on the timline. But in both instances, code that should
work doesn't. Robert Reinhardt has covered this in an article at
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=8E4DF.
He is the author of the Flash Actionscript Bible series and so
knows what he is talking about. I have been studying it for an hour
and darn if I can understand the second page of it. I've asked for
help myself about this at

Exit Android App with external *actionscript.as* files

Hi, i'm trying to make this code work with a application that got 99% of code driving by external actionscript.as files;
In another app without any external call i mean no actionscript.as files, the code work very fine.
My goal is to shutdown any activity of the app when the user receive a call or something like that;
Many thanks in advance and sorry my english

How do I make the drag and drop functions in the

actionscript file so that this component can access it for the drag
and drop to work?
Any help is very much appreciated. ^^

You can reference a external actionscript file in a
<mx:Script source="myScripts.as"/>
I do not use it this way as it is not a vary OO way to do
things.
I will generally create a singleton class (so it is only
instantiated once)
and use it for utility type functions.
For example:
public class UtilityClass
private static var _instance:UtilityClass;
public function UtilityClass()
public static function getInstance():UtilityClass
if(_instance == null)
_instance = new UtilityClass();
return _instance;
public function myFunction():void
Then in a mxml
<mx:list id="list"
dragDrop="UtilityClass.getInstance().myfunction()"

Flex 3 vs Flex 4 Preprocessor directives and code behind (External Actionscript file)

I have a framework that I've built that I want to use on Flex3 and Flex4.
I've added pre-processor directives as per this link (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_21.html) and got my Flex 4 code to compile nicely.
I then went to flex 3 and discovered my sub-class of Application wouldn't compile because it was based off of spark. No problem, I'll add in a directive.
Except now my overridden class has duplicate code, specific to which SDK it is using.
No problem, I'll put all of the application class code in an Actionscript file and include it in both Application class declarations for each directive.
It works nicely in Flex 3, so I went to Flex 4, tried to compile and now I'm getting compiler errors saying things such as "The (private|public|protected) attribute may only be used on class property definitions." and "The (private|public|protected) attribute can only be used inside a package.
This same file works in Flex 3, but not in Flex 4.
What can I do to make the code compile in both places?
I'll work on a simple case so I can upload some code.

Nevermind.
I got around this issue by renaming my sub-classed Application to "...Application".
Now I can use a directive to specify an import statement for the extends Application portion rather than specifiing the fully qualified spark.components.Application or mx.core.Application.
Lame - but done.

JavaScript alert in AS3 or AS2 to debug the external actionscript file

Hi,
Is there any way to debug the external AS file as i dont want to use "trace".
I have an idea to use the input text field the check the variable/function is working right but this is not enough so is there any process in AS2 or AS3.
Thanks in advance..

my mistake ..i have used there dynamic textfiled.
but i got a easy solution by using
getURL ("javascript:alert('Testing');");
but this is not the good solution
is there any way to import the alert contolls in AS2
like i have read somewhere
import mx.controls.Alert;
Please reply..

How to pass data from external Actionscript file to MXML file

HI...
I do not know about the Application.application.whateverFieldIWantToReference and it does work on my computer, but only when the external .as file is in the same folder as the main .mxml application... But in my case, the .as file is in another folder (ie. package)...
Also i want to know When I use the standard Application.application way, it does not spit out any error, but it just doesn't work either.
Alternatively, I guess I could pass the field (in this case, a TextArea) as an argument, but how do I do that? How to pass a TextArea(or any other element, for that matter) as an argument? What type is it?
Does anybody know how to circumvent this? Any help is appreciated,
Thanks.

Code to do a completely external actionscript 3 file?

If it's not too much trouble, could somebody post an actionscript .as file that would draw a rectangle on the flash stage, with the ONLY thing in Flash being the property assignment that you have to do.
I'm really new to this, and I have not been able to find any tutorials on this topic (other than someone telling me that the tutorials are out there). I want to start hacking around with Actionscript and Flash, but I'm really frustrated because I can't get started.
I DON"T want to put code in the timeline, use code snippets, or use the actions window.
References to specific tutorials would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Here is a class that draws rectangle:
package
     import flash.display.Graphics;
     import flash.display.Shape;
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     public class ObjectWithRectangle extends Sprite
          public var fillColor:uint = 0xff0000;
          public var strokeColor:uint = 0x00ff00;
          public var rWidth:Number = 100;
          public var rHeight:Number = 100;
          public function ObjectWithRectangle()
               if (stage) init();
               else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
          private function init(e:Event = null):void
               removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
               var rectangle:Shape = new Shape();
               var g:Graphics = rectangle.graphics;
               g.lineStyle(1, strokeColor);
               g.beginFill(fillColor);
               g.drawRect(0, 0, rWidth, rHeight);
               g.endFill();
               addChild(rectangle);
Here is a class that implements the above class - if you make it a document class is Flash IDE - it will show a rectangle with random colors:
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     public class DocClass extends Sprite
          public function DocClass()
               if (stage) init();
               else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
          private function init(e:Event = null):void
               removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
               var rect:ObjectWithRectangle = new ObjectWithRectangle();
               rect.fillColor = 0xffffff * Math.random();
               rect.strokeColor = 0xffffff * Math.random();
               rect.rWidth = 200;
               rect.rHeight = 250;
               addChild(rect);

T code reqd for External No range which is reqd at the time of posting AFAB

Hi Gurus,
While i am running AFAB,the system shows that i have to give external no range for doc type.I have given no range in FBN1 but system denies.Can pl provide T code for external no range which is reqd for Depn run.
Pl advise.
Regards,
Samar

Hi Guru,
Thanks for your reply.
After running AFAB,follwing error comes:
"Create document number range 24 using external number assignment.
Message no. AA759
Diagnosis
Processing had to be terminated, since you set up the document number range 24 for the year 2008 with internal number assignment.
System response
You should create a document number range with external document numbers for periodic depreciation posting, since the document numbers are not assigned from Financial Accounting, but by the posting program of Asset Accounting. The external number assignment, therefore, should not be understood as manually entering the document number. It is only external from the point of view of the Financial Accounting application.
Procedure
Change the number range 24 from internal to external number assignment in Asset Accounting Customizing."
Now pl advise me how i can change no range from internal to external.

Creation of Server Proxy for Message interface with External Defination

Dear All,
I am getting a problem while generating a server proxy for the inbound interface . The request message used in the inbound interface is a external definition which is uploaded using a XSD file. The XSD file was supplied by a third party which is having very high complex strucuture and used lot of abstract data types in the design. When i tried to generate the proxy in the R/3 system (Transaction SPROXY) for the inbound interface i am getting following error.
Interface uses external and internal message definitions
Message no. SPRX122 *
Diagnosis
In a message interface you can use messages from different sources:
Message types and fault message types edited in the Enterprise Services Repository
Messages imported into the Enterprise Services Repository (external definitions, RFC, IDoc)
In the current message interface, message types from different sources have been used. Since messages from these different sources must be handled differently during proxy generation, such a mixture of messages within a message interface is not possible.
System Response
The interface cannot be generated.
Procedure
Change the interface definition accordingly in the Enterprise Services Repository.
Please guide me, how to generate the proxy for the interface with external defination message. I could nt geneate manullay, because it is having very high complexity and its a big structure.
Is there is any way to generate the proxy for interface with external definition
Regards
Vijayanand

Hi,
i. Import your message schemas from external definitions, or RFCs or IDocs from SAP systems. These definitions already contain data types.
ii. Create a message interface and reference the messages of the external definition, or the RFC or IDoc message.
