Hi everybody,

i'm struggling with this :



the class i use to link my "Main" symbol extends MovieClip.
i tried to link it with Object.registerClass and via the Flash IDE.
obviously, this is working fine within Flash IDE.

thanks for helping

There is a direct solution to your problem:
Creating a class instance based on MovieClip without a symbol in the library

Alternatively, you can use the __proto__ solution

in your Main.as

/**
* Test class for testing mtasc swf building in FlashDevelop.
* @mtasc -version 8 -swf build.swf -trace SOSTracer.out -main -trust
*/
import com.blitzagency.xray.util.XrayLoader;
import net.arp.test.view.*;

class Main extends MovieClip
{
public function Main(target)
{
target.__proto__ = this.__proto__;
target.__constructor__ = Application;
this = target;

trace("Main::constructor");

// --- XRAY
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.xrayLoadComplete = function(){
_global.tt("Everything is ready");
}
XrayLoader.addEventListener("xrayLoadComplete", listener);
XrayLoader.loadConnector("ConnectorOnly_as2_fp7_OS_1.4.5.swf", _root, true);

var app = Application(attachMovie(Application.id,"application", 1));
}

static function main ()
{
// Create an Application instance and have it assimilate _root.
SOSTracer.start(0xFFFFCC);
var test:Main = new Main( _root );
}
}


in your subclass MovieClip:

class Application extends org.osflash.arp.ArpForm // extends MovieClip
{
static var id = (id="__Packages.net.arp.test.view.Application")+(Object.registerClass(id,Application)?"":"");

function Application (target)
{
trace("Application::constructor");
}

function onLoad(){
trace("Application::onLoad");
}

}

Maybe the example seems a little overloaded but hope you can get an overall idea of the trick

Mike.

well i tried these methods but it seems that i have a problem with the inheritance of MovieClip...


where



then attachMovie method does not exist (and so does not work) in the "main" object, which gives the result i mentionned in my first post...

i don't understand why but my MainMC class just extends Object while i declare it to extend MovieClip...

all classes eventually extend Object

yes but when i declare

i'd like to have this :
MainMC MovieClip Object

and not :
MainMC Object
...

That's really weird, I agree it's not the expected result. It looks like the "extends MovieClip" was ignored...
Maybe you should ask the MTASC list.

ok i found something coming from FlashDevelop.

i tried to compile only with mtasc and it worked fine.
Actually it was working since the beginning but with the correct player :
i was using Flash Player 8 version for my project, while when testing on FlashDev, it runs a Flash Player 6 !
and i was having the problems i described in this topic.
but in the external Flash Player 8 : no problems.

now if i declare my project as version 6, it works correctly.
and in version 7 or 8 : still buggy, Flash Player 6 cannot play it well.

so now i'd like to have Flash Player 8 in my FlashDevelop. can i do it ?

ok got it !
that's IE Flash Player that runs in FlashDev.

Yep, FlashDevelop uses the IE ActiveX control so it's tied to that player version. Glad this mystery is solved

he he thank you Nick
