The public, protected, private and internal keywords denote variable access. Here's a quick article describing each: http://greenethumb.com/article/27/public-private-protected-internal-access-modifiers-in-as

Thanks so much Schell, i will try that tonight.
by the way may i ask whats the use of “public” in ‘public var loader:Loader = new Loader();’ i know its kinda off topic and im very sorry for the dumb/noob question. I have so much to learn in AS3, it cool to learn new things.

thanks a lot!

Your problem is that my class doesn’t expose a member named ‘contentLoaderInfo’ – which is definitely a design flaw, as the class is loading an image. You could change line 54 to read ‘public var loader:Loader = new Loader();’ and then in your code use ‘BlackPattern2.loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);’ or you could just do ‘addChild(beam, 1);’ without the onComplete event. The image does not have to be loaded to add the tile to the stage.

Hi I am a newbie in action script and Im glad I found this class that really helped much. I had encountered some problems using this class, I tried to preload the background before the next image appears resulting to an error
“Access of possible undefined property contentLoaderInfo through a reference with static type com.efnx.GUI:tile.”

here is my code

stop();

import flash.display.*;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import gs.plugins.*;
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
import gs.*;
import com.efnx.GUI.*

var BlackPattern:tile = new tile(“images/blackpattern.png”, 1955, 1024);
addChildAt(BlackPattern,0);

var BlackPatternXPos:Number = swfWidth – 1955;
var BlackPatternYPos:Number = swfHeight – 1024;

BlackPattern.x = BlackPatternXPos / 2 ;
BlackPattern.y = 0;

var BlackPattern2:tile = new tile(“images/blackpattern.png”, 1955, 1024);
addChildAt(BlackPattern2,2);
BlackPattern2.alpha = .7;

var BlackPattern2XPos:Number = swfWidth – 1955;
var BlackPattern2YPos:Number = swfHeight – 1024;

BlackPattern2.x = BlackPattern2XPos / 2 ;
BlackPattern2.y = 0;

BlackPattern2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

var beam:tile = new tile(“images/beam.png”, 1280, 1150);
function onComplete(ev:Event):void
{
addChildAt(beam,1);
}

beam.alpha = .8

var beamXPos:Number = swfWidth – 1280;
var beamYPos:Number = swfHeight – 1150;

beam.x = beamXPos/2;
beam.y = 0;

Honestly Im not sure if im doing it correctly, is there other way where i could load the “blackpattern1″ and “blackpattern2″ before loading the “beam”

thank you so much.

Great AS3 Class!! very helpful!!

Thank you again for your code and for this useful information.
Google is a good source of information… and disinformation as the content is not always up to date with the last tech used by flash.
