i've got an inheritance chain of AS2 classes set up where i have an array in the 'child' class that i'd like to be able to access from the 'parent' class:
bottomClass.as -'parent'
topClass.as -'child'
my question/dilemma is: how can the parent access the properties of a child class...is this even possible, or am i just looking at it wrong?

I cant access to var in parent movie from class in child.I have two swf's: parent.swf and child.swf. In parent.swf in frame 6 is:

I was trying use parent, parent.parent, parent.parent.parent etc. and any result - null object error.
I'm pretty new to fully using class's for my programming (in-frame scripting satisfied me for a while). I am having a problem accessing the properties of a class from another class. The first class (I'll call it controller) receives a reference to an object of another class (I'll call it display). Display have several specialized subclass (I'll call one SequencedDisplay). SequencedDisplay has a timer in it that I need to access:

I have one movieclip object with a custom class.
That class has a loop that creates / instantiates a number of copies of another movieclip from the library. This second movieclip has a textfield child in it. When I convert this textfield to a movieclip I can access the properties of it fine, but just as a dynamic textbox I can't access it.
This is the custom class of the second movieclip that gets instatiated a few times by the first custom class...
This custom class relates to a movieclip that has a child MC called recent_text (which I can access ok) and in that child is another child (a dynamic text field called "aDynamicTextBox", which I can't access)[code]...
My player movie clip has a smaller movieclip within it. Because the smaller movieclip is not within the parent clip it changes the x,y,width,and height value of the player movieclip and throwing everything off! To adjust I have to add (-2ndmovieclip.height) to everything i want to do. This is sloppy and I don't like it. Is there a better way to have a child within a movieclip without it affecting the parents properties? i want the parent to keep its original x,y,width,and height properties but the child keeps adding to them!
View 5 Repliesthis is so embaresing and my whole business is suffering from this[URL].. the key point in my TextArea class which extends TextField is to load external swf files and I use the .parent property of the Loader class to access the textfield... with the new security updates coming with 11.2 I cannot access the parent and the whole thing crashes to give you more insight:
imagine that we have file.swf being loaded into the project using the flash.display.Loader class. from the document class of file.swf, I can access the loader like this, all ok till here _loader = this.parent as Loader

every day that one of my clients updates their player to the new version, their website fails. I need to fix this a.s.a.p.
I have a container with text and a button and an image.
When i Mouse over the button i want to be able to tell the text inside the container to change its TextFormat to another.
How do i tell the text to do so, i though it would be something within the MouseEvent like,
event.target.parent (someway to access other child).setTextFormat()
is their a simple way to access another child from within the same parent?

I have to access a function in child swf from parent swf. This child swf gets loaded into a canvas object in parent.swf. Everything works fine but I'm unable to call any function that was in child.swf. My code is
Code:
var swf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf1.source = "CHILD.swf";
can.addchild(swf1);
I read on google and then I tried this in parent.swf's code
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
canvas.addchild(myloader);
Now this one throws up a runtime error TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@5934b01 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
I also tried this
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
[Code]....
But in this case my swf does not show up at all and there are no runtime errors too!
How do I resolve this error and how do I then access the function in child.swf?
The external swf is located at:[url]....In the parent.swf, I put System.security.allowDomain(url....)When you click a button on the child.swf it's suppose to trace data from the parent.swf, but it returns undefined.What am I doing wrong? I MUST access data from the parent.swf

I think this is a pretty simply problem but I do not seem to be able to pull it off. Basically I have a parent class A, and a child class B.Class A instantiates class B with addChild.There is a shared object which is being updated from a java server (red5) that has an event listener attached to it in class A.I have a function in class A which will pass certain, specific updates from this shared object to class B.The problem occurs is that when class B is instantiated, the event listener from class A doesn't work anymore. I have not removed the event listener from A.?

I have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?
View 1 RepliesI got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.
View 10 Repliesi am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).

When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:

SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.

Imagine the following setup. The main swf loads a child swf.In AS2 i would simply use _parent or _root to call the desired function. How can that be done in AS3?Can this still be done? Can I call a function on the main swf from the loaded one? How about the other way around, this time, from main to loaded swf?

I'd like to create some kind of component's properties inheritance to create generic behaviors in my component.Imagine I work a lot with textfield based components (counters, animated text... and so on), I'd like my artist to custom these components without being scared by the "update" button. Today, when component's code is updated, my artist has to update every flas using these components, and all of them are re-set to original look (if he had customed font color, or font size by duplicating the component instance, everything is set back to the current look of component).
That's why I'd like to know if there is a way for a component to inherit some of its properties and behaviors from another component class ?
I've been using greensock classes in a parent movie, but am now looking to use the same classes from within some child movies, but it doesn't work (I presently have to import them into each child movie - what a waste).
Do I need to create the classes as a shared library object perhaps? If so, how would I go about it? as I've only ever done this for MCs or MP3s.
I have a SWF with a document class called ClassA. I'm loading in an external SWF with a document class of ClassB. Then ClassB is loading in an external SWF that is used for graphical assets.
The problem is that all of the assets in the third SWF all extend a class called Actor. The assets swf is loaded and set as the var "_assets".[code]...
I wrote two projects using the same 3D library but I modified it pretty heavily in one (to the extent that the inheritance is pretty different on one) - now I need to load one into the other and I'm getting some weird errors that look like the child swf is trying to use the same class definitions as the parent even though it should be in an entirely different namespace.
So - anyone have a tricky way of forcing the loaded swf to use the classes it's compiled with rather than the ones already defined in the parent swf (and vice versa) or do I need to refactor all my stuff?
If an object, or say... a document class, creates an instance of a class (and stores it as a variable), and it doesn't pass any arguments to the constructor of the class, can that class object, by simply having a function of it called by the parent, tell who sent it that command/request?In other words, can a class object know who called it (such as it's parent) via a (seemingly) anonymous call?

I have a class linked with a movie clip, and in this movie clip I want to be able to add an event listener that calls a function in the Document class (the class you link with the fla as a whole). How can I do that? Say the name of my document class is KPScript.as. In my GameController.as class, I want to listen for key input and call pageChange() in KPScript.as when it gets called. Would I have to import KPScript.as into the GameController.as? If so, I wouldn't want to create another instance of the KPScript object.
