POActionscript Arrays of Objects?
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a class named TextLink. The text is meant to be clicked on and it should dispatch an event (which I'm not too concerned about yet)... currently it just prints out a message. The class takes an x, y, and a string to set the text. Dead simple... But it crashes the browser.</p> <p>Instance calls in main:</p> <pre><code>package { import flash.display.Sprite; import nav.text.TextLink; public class test_array_of_objects extends Sprite { public function test_array_of_objects() { var ary:Array = new Array(5); var i:uint; var ty:uint; var tx:uint = 30; for(i=0; i<ary.length; i++) { ty = i * 20 + 20; var tmp:TextLink = new TextLink(tx, ty, "some text" + i.toString()); ary.push(tmp); } } } } </code></pre> <p>Class:</p> <pre><code>package nav.text { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.text.TextField; import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize; import flash.external.ExternalInterface; public class TextLink extends Sprite { public var tf:TextField = new TextField(); public function TextLink(tx:uint, ty:uint, tft:String) { tf.text = tft; tf.x = tx; tf.y = ty; tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT; addChild(tf); } private function rollfunc(e:Event):void { ExternalInterface.call("console.log", "got a clicky"); } /* protected function rollfunc(e:Event):void { //dispatch a custom event dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE)); } */ } } </code></pre> <p>You'll notice that I have commented out the rollfunc function because I was going to add it later- What I would like to do here is to dispatch an event for whoever is listening to the class so that I can do something specific with the event of clicking on the text. The instance would be defined by an addEventListener() call.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
