I have an object that has been added to the stage, exported properly for actionscript, and given an instance name.
It’s class file is this:
package {
import com.freerangeeggheads.puzzleography.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class SoundButton extends MovieClip {
public function SoundButton(): void {
trace (this);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeSound);
}
private function changeSound(e:MouseEvent): void {
trace ("sound was clicked");
if (PuzzleGlobals.isSound == true) {
PuzzleGlobals.isSound = false;
this.gotoAndStop("Off");
trace (this.currentFrame);
}
else {
PuzzleGlobals.isSound = true;
this.gotoAndStop("On");
trace (this.currentFrame);
}
}
}
}
And yet none of this works. The trace doesn’t even go off, meaning the constructor is never activated. It’s linked properly; if I go to the movie clip’s preferences and hit “edit class file” it takes me to the proper one.
It’s possible that the problem lies with the frame numbering. The first time this object is added to the display list is in Frame 2…and it says “export in Frame 1” but I’m not exactly sure what that means or how it affects the class definition or how to get around it. I tried adding it (var sb:SoundButton = new SoundButton;) in the first frame, but that didn’t help.
