Web Development :: Add Children To A Dynamically Added Swf Before Adding To Stage
Jun 6, 2011I am trying to add children to a dynamically added swf file, using AS3, before I add it to stage
Here is the code I have thus far,
AS3:
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(glo.bal.base_url+"videos/vid_1.swf");
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler_one);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
[Code].....
Inside the vid_1 swf there is a movie clip called box_one, I would like to append a image to box_one, and only have the swf added to stage after the image file has been added to box_one.
ActionScript 3.0 :: [CS4] Children Inside Children - 1119: Access Of Possibly Undefined Property NumChildren
Jan 12, 2011I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
Flex :: Determine When A Method Or Property Was Added To A Player Or SDK Class?
Sep 11, 2009I recently found a method (ByteArray.clear()) that FlexBuilder complains is possibly undefined; however, the method is in fact documented in the Flex LiveDocs. It must have been added in a later version of the SDK than I have installed. I'm not asking about this particular method, but I'm giving it as an example of the documentation issue that I'm trying to resolve. My questions are:
How can I determine what version of the SDK or Flash player that a method or property was added in? How can I tell which versions of the SDK are supported on which Flash player versions?
I want to be able to determine from the documentation, instead of compiler or runtime errors, what SDK and Flash player versions are needed to support newly added methods.
With Java I look for the @since javadoc tag when I need to know this, but I can't find an equivalent feature in the Flex docs.
AS3: Added Children Not Showing Up?
Nov 27, 2009I'm getting a list of movieclips with attached scripts to display, but when I try to put them on the sceen nothing shows up.I can trace the elements in the list and it will tell me there are elements there.I can trace getChildAt(numChildren -1) and it will tell me there is something there but nothing is visible.If I generate the list in the constructor of the class that handles the displaying it does show them, but when I try to load them when they are actually needed they don't show up.Here's a simplification of the code(its a small part of a larger project and I can't put all of it up somewhere public)This code does what it should do(unfortunately that is not what I need done)
Code:
package foo.bar
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
[code]...
The traces all show up so I know its running the method, the traces tell me it adds stuff the the screen, but what I see on the screen remains completely stagnant, as if nothing is being added.
Professional :: Can't Obtain The Stage's Sizes?
Oct 14, 2010Situation:I've got 2 swf files,1 is a preloader which loads the 2nd swf file, my site.Both of them, if started separately,work correctly.Problem:when I put the files together,linking the site's swf to the preloader,I get a null element error and the site loads no correctly.What I've understood :The preloader is ok, because I can remove the error message working on the site's swf AS code.In the preloader's code I have some lines to center its animation on the stage, I do that like this:
import flash.display.Stage;
var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
then using myStage.stageWidth and myStage.stageHeight I calculate the clip position
Also on the site's code I do the same to center a movieclip using exactly the same code, but it doesn't work and I've found that the problem is the myStage variable, not because it has the same name as the variable on the other file (I've tried to name it myFrame).It looks that on the site's swf the myStage variable can't be assigned and then results to be null.
Question: How can I obtain the stage's height and width since var myStage:Stage = this. stage; doesn't work?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Of Movieclips That Are Added As Children To A Parent Mc?
Apr 29, 2010I have a set of movieclips that are added as children to a parent mc. I want to scale the parent mc up but keep one of the mc's in the same place on the stage. I think the easiest way to do that is to scale the mc up, calculate how far the child mc moves and move the parent an equal amount in th opposite direction. Everything works but I can't for the life of me wrap my head around the math required to calculate the distance to move the parent mc. Has anyone else tried this? Is there an easier way that I don't know about?
View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Get An Array Of Specific Added Children?
Apr 12, 2011I'm using the following array to add children to the stage:
for(var i=0;i<6;i++) {
var aCherry=new cCherry()
aCherry.y=10
aCherry.x=10+100*i
stage.addChild(aCherry)
}
Now I want to modify each cherry based on another array. Something like this:
[Code]...
Clearly stage.getChildByName("aCherry")[i] isn't correct, but coming from JavaScript this makes the most sense to me and should accurately portray what I'm trying to achieve for you guys reading this. So, how would I actually do this? This being getting an array of children added to the stage under a certain name or class (so an array of cCherry would work too, if necessary), then using them in a way similar to the above loop.
Added Children But Objects Not Displaying In Flash
May 11, 2011I'm adding a series of objects dynamically to my flash movie from xml but they won't appear when I run the movie. I have nearly identical code adding objects in a different swf that works just fine. I have tested this 8 ways from Sunday including ensuring that they were added to the container which is a child of the main MovieClip (tested the display list), that they were added to stage (had a listener for ADDED_TO_STAGE) and that their position was correct (displayed x,y values and compared them to mouseX & mouseY values). They are in the correct place in the display list. Still there are no objects. The class is linked correctly, I have movie clips in the library.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Event.ADDED For Children In External Mc?
Jan 21, 2011I would like to pre-process *any* item added to the display list of my main movie clip, so I attached the Event.ADDED event to the stage.
Seems to be working fine for timeline objects and objects loaded from the library (such as addChild(newClass())).
But I don't know how to manage stuff loaded from an external SWF. I'm getting Event.ADDED when I addChild() the loaded swf, but not for its children...
How can I know who are they children? (avoiding ENTER_FRAME if possible).

Otherwise, is there a way of controlling the stacking order of the various components on the stage?

Dec 23, 2009I have a rectangular movieClip named 'container'. In this movieclip, a function generates some number of squares.My problem is that; for example, if I generate 12x12 squares with each width/height of 40; it resizes the container to width/height of 480. If I set the width and the height of the container movieClip to a lower value; then the squares become smaller.I have been struggling for some time on this problem. I tried setting the ScaleMode of container and squares to various values but it did not work.How can I overcome this illogical (for me at least) problem? How can I prevent children from resizing their parent OR how can i prevent parent downsizing the children?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Children Of Dynamically Added MovieClip
Jan 8, 2011Code:
function saveAction(evt:MouseEvent):void{
var choice=evt.target.name;
var inputText:String = saveName.text;
}
I have this and I am trying to make a variable from the contents of the input box. Simple ya? The issue is that it is a child of another clip that is being added dynamically, so it doesn't think the input exists. How do I declare the input? How can I target it's contents? Also I have a remove function that is meant to remove this same parent clip.
Code:
function closeSaveWindow(evt:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(saver);
}
'saver' is a variable created in another function, so I think there is a scope issue there. To try to fix that I declared 'saver' as a movie clip as a global var.

Aug 6, 2010I am creating an AIR nativeWindow. I am adding two children, an HTMLLoader and a Sprite. The child Sprite has two children, a TextField and a Sprite that will be used to draw. I have set stage.scaleMode = "noScale" and stage.align = "TL", which the HTMLLoader seems to respect. However, the child Sprite scales its children whenever I set a height.

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Obtain Item For Mouse X/y Coordinates?
Nov 24, 2009my mission is to select an item in a DataGrid instance with nothing but the coordinates on screen.
We are implementing right-click functionality in our Flash application, with the goal of being able to right-click a DG row, which would select that row plus show a popup window containing some context commands.
I have managed to get the right click event into my Flex app with the help of this site.
Further progress so far has been to obtain the DataGrid instance via
var objects : Array = this.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY));
and then to investige each of the array's items, for one of those 'parent.parentList' refers to the DataGrid instance.
I couldn't find any point-to-item converter function or anything.
PS: Using the standard Flash ContextMenu is, unfortunately, not an option.
Flex - Access Children Of Children Recursively?
