Question

I’m new to AS3 and I’m getting this error while trying to implement OO style code.

  Incorrect number of arguments.  Expected no more than 0.

When I try to:

var countries:Country = new Country(10);

Normally this would work in Java or C++, so I’m not sure what’s up!?

Here is my custom class.

package {

public class Country {

    var cName:String = "noName"; 
    public function Country() {
        // constructor code
    }

    public function setName(n:String):void {
        cName = n;
    }
    public function getName():String {
        return cName;
    }


}

}

You are passing 10 to the constructor, which is not what you want to do. To instantiate an array of instances, try something like this:

var countries:Array = []
var country:Country;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    country = new Country()
    country.setName("Country_" + i);
    countries.push(country)
}
