ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Out What Child Is Being Clicked On?
Aug 13, 2010I am creating something that randomly generates 'stars' on the stage, and these stars then randomly explode. When the explosion_mc is created, an eventlistener to click them is made, so when an explosion is clicked on, it will remove the child(explosion) from the stage.
It sort of works but will only remove the latest explosion made whatever explosion you click on. I need to somehow let flash know what child is being clicked on.
Quote:
var star_array:Array = new Array();
var explosion_mc:explosion;

ActionScript 3.0 :: GalleryCreate - Flash Cannot Find Child To Remove
Jul 8, 2009I am working on a website right now, which involves using framescripts to invoke instance methods from the document class. These methods are supposed to trigger the new content of each page, e.g. a galleryCreate() method that creates an instance of a custom Gallery class. The other job that this method must perform is run a check to see if there are any other children that need to be removed prior to trying to bring up the new content (for example, to prevent multiple Gallery instances from being created, or a Gallery instance being created when a Newsfeed instance is still on the display list).
This was the solution I tried:
script on frame labeled "gallery":
ActionScript Code:
galleryCreate();
Script in document Class after the main constructor. Spaceball is an empty MovieClip declared at the beginning of the class as an easy point of reference to the root.
ActionScript Code:
public function galleryCreate () {
if ((spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")) != null) {
trace("An instance of the Gallery object was found and deleted");
removeChild(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery"));
} gallery = new Gallery();
addChild(gallery);
}
When I ran the program, I clicked on the button to the gallery page, and the gallery came up alright. However, when I clicked on it a second time, I could see from the alpha of some of the elements that additional classes were being placed on top of the original ones. The trace in the if statement was never registered. So to troubleshoot this problem, I inserted the first two traces into the beginning of the galleryCreate() method, and the last trace at the end.
ActionScript Code:
trace(spaceball.parent) //returns [Object Body], Body being the document class
trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")); //returns null
//after Gallery has been instantiated in the new gallery object
trace(gallery.parent); //this returned [Object Body]
Running the program again, the trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery") would consistently return null, followed right after by a trace that recognizes the parent of the newly instantiated Gallery object to be the Document class. Doesn't that mean that it should be recognized as a child during the second iteration of galleryCreate()?
Professional :: Find A Child's Location In Parent's Coordinate Space
Jul 21, 2010I've created a map of Montana counties. Each county is a seperate MC withing the larger parent clip (allcnt_mc). When a county is clicked on, I'd like to center that county on the stage and zoom to its extent. The challenging part has been telling the parent (allcnt_mc) where to tween to. Since each individual county is a child of the parent, they have their own coordinate space referencing that of the parent.
Is there a way I can query the location (x,y) of a child in the parent's coordinate space? With this number, I could calculate the distanct between the parent's current reg. point and that of the child, indicating the distance that the parent would have to move to be centered on the stage. I was trying to use localToGlobal but could not figure out how to use it.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Find Objects On Stage
Aug 25, 2009I'm studying the code for a vertical shooter game that is given in the book "ActionScript Design Patterns 3.0." The author is explaining the factory pattern and so covers just that aspect of the code -- doesn't cover hit testing. I would like to figure out how to do hit testing for this example because it's similar to something I am planning.
The code for the game consists of 12 classes, abstract and concrete creator classes, abstract and concrete product classes and a Main class. These classes instantiate the ship and weapon objects at various points in their execution. I made a separate Collision class and I'm trying to find all the objects on the stage using this Collision class so I can hit test them with each other. Here's my code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

Is there a way to fix this code so I can access objects on the stage? Am I missing a cast somewhere? Or do I need a different approach to find objects on the stage in a multiclass game?

View 1 RepliesFlash :: Find The Parent Of A Deep-nested Sprite From The Stage?
Jan 21, 2011I'll give a complete explanation of what I'm trying to do. I have a video player as a separate SWF. In this video player I have a VideoContainer class extending Sprite, which contains the video and a control bar with specific video buttons.
This SWF is loaded in another main SWF, which has a menu that is on top of everything else. When I click "Fullscreen" in the video SWF, everything goes smoothly, except the menu remains on top of the VideoContainer object.
I need a way to change the display order of the loaded SWF, to put it on top of everything else on Fullscreen and change it back when Fullscreen goes off. All this needs to be made inside the video player. Also, the configuration of the children can change (the video player can be loaded in different places in the main SWF), so I can't use a certain unchanging path.
