Fri, 12 Nov 2010 23:43:46 GMT

You can use a singleton for your document class (Main, in your example), which allows you to access the instance from anywhere. The document class is a pretty good candidate for the singleton pattern, because generally there should only be instance available.

(ActionScript 3) AS3: My favorite example of Singleton - albertomori

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:56:17 GMT

There are a variety of ways to create a Singleton in AS3 but because Adobe wants to be ECMA compliant, there's no way to do it (like in Java) using a private constructor. Writing a singleton this way will give you a runtime warning if something goes wrong.

This may not be useful to anyone else as is, but I wanted to keep my typical scrolling code somewhere for easy access. This uses TweenMax as well which obviously isn't included. This assumes you have content_mc for the stuff to be scrolled, scrollArrow as your dragger, scrollerTrack as the bar the dragger follows, and contentMask to mask your content within a certain area.
