I have a button on my stage, which has a class called Game1 (I didn't define this class, just linked it like Juan answered to my other question). The button has 'GameButton' as base class, which at the moment contains some simple x, y statements. All my buttons will have a dummy class 'GameX' and a base class of GameButton; this way they inherit from the base class, but they can still have a different graphic. I have a main class which contains code to add this button: public class MainAteam extends MovieClip { public var btn1:Game1; public function MainAteam() { btn1 = new Game1(); addChild(btn1); btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startGame1); } // startGame 1 function here } Now, I would like to be able to give x, y values through parameters so I can place each button on a different spot. However, when I try new Game(5,5) and I put the following in the GameObject constructor: package { import flash.display.SimpleButton; public class GameButton extends SimpleButton { public function GameButton(startX:Number, startY:Number) { x = startX; y = startY; } } } I get the following error: 1203: No default constructor found in base class GameButton I don'

Why I must have to redefine it? Constructors are special, basically. Also, because ActionScript doesn't support method overloading, you wouldn't be able to have more than one constructor anyway. So, if you inherited a constructor, you wouldn't be able to define a new constructor for your child class because you would have to match the method signature exactly. There may be a better explanation as well. “Who were you, Krilnon, and how did you know so much about AS4?” The historian sighed as she gazed up at the sky and saw… not stars. A story.

in base class %s. " Error Gather 'round children, and I will describe to you the 1203 error in child friendly Layman's Terms."1203 No default constructor found in base class %s. You must explicitly call the constructor of the base http://iqandreas.blogspot.com/2009/04/understanding-as3-1203-no-default.html class with a super() statement if it has 1 or more required arguments."When you extend http://flash.bigresource.com/ActionScript-3-0-1203-No-default-constructor-found-in-base-class-src-LoadWebPage-RO9cbQZ9J.html a class in AS3, flash will automatically add a function that initializes the class that you are extending.For example, let's say you have a "ship" class. When you create this class, you have a whole bunch of functions that create walls, shields, passenger compartments, motors, etc. ActionScript Code: public class Ship{public function Ship():void{ //Here you will build the ship, and make as3 error sure it is functional. this.buildHullAndWalls(); this.buildPassengerCompartments(); this.addElectronics(); this.addNavigation(); this.addMotors(new HyperDrive(), new SublightEngine()); this.addSheilds(); if (this.scanForDefects()) { emailCaptain("Ship is in working order and ready to go! :) "); } else { emailCaptain("There is something wrong! There are problems with this ship still!"); throw new ShipBuildError("An error occured when building the ship. Please wait for repairs."); }}} Now, when you want to extend a class, it is like creating a new version of the parent class AND adding to as3 error no it.So to create a Cruiser (basically a basic ship with weapons), you could write all this out: ActionScript Code: public class Cruiser{ public function Cruiser():void { //Here you will build the ship, and make sure it is functional. this.buildHullAndWalls(); ... this.addSheilds(); this.addWeapons(); if (this.scanForDefects()) { ... } }} But doing this for each and every ship that extends the Ship is long, tedious, and memory consuming. Also, if you want to make any changes to the way the ship works (for example, adding the shields before you add the motors), you have to go back and change that code in every single ship that is built from a Ship, or extends the Ship.So to have the Cruiser extend Ship: ActionScript Code: public class Cruiser extends Ship{ public function Cruiser():void { this.addWeapons(); }} This simplifies making ships immensely, however, we have one (major) problem. Here, you are telling the crew to start adding weapons to the ship. That's fine and dandy, but where is the ship? You haven't told the crew to start building a ship yet! How are they supposed to add on the weapons?Luckily, The Flash Compiler (known to his friends as "Foreman Flash") realizes this, so when you tell the crew to start building the ship, Flash looks through the list of tasks for the crew to do. He realizes that you are technically buildin

Sep 20, 2009 I am creating a Weapon class for a game and the weapons itself will be the sub classes. The sub classes will hard code some values (such as max ammo and the weapon name).

I assigned the same base class in each clips property window and then gave each clip a unique class name which doesn't exist so flash says it will create the class automatically.Now if I create a bunch of A's and B's on the stage via actionscript, how would I send variables to the constructor in MyClass.as without having to creating A.as and B.as to pass the variables along to the base class? if I do: Var newA:MovieClip = new A (argument 1, argument2, etc) It says it expects 0 args since the A & B classes were created automatically by flash.
