I create a new Ball movieclip and sets the Uid property:
var ball_mc:Ball = new Ball();
ball_mc.uID = "1232435";
addChild(ball_mc);
From outside the movieclip i can access the property value by trace(ball_mc.uID);, but what if i what to reach the value inside the movieclip itself? trace(uID); or trace(ball_mc.uID); dosent seem to work.
Assume on root i have a movie clip called table then inside table i have a movie clip called foot.
normally if i need to set foot's alpha to zero i can just do
table.root.alpha=0 from the main timeline it should work ok
but this works only as long as i have foot in the first frame of the movie clip table, if i have foot movie clip in lets say frame 100 apearing and not apearing in the first frame of table then i cant access property of foot from the root
unless the movie clip plays and reach the instance where foot is defined.
Let's say I have the following MXML:
<s:Group id="b01">
<s:Ellipse x="267" y="96" width="30" height="28">
<s:stroke>[code]....
And that I have a dozen more of these groups with different ID's. How can I modify the fill color of each Ellipse using ActionScript? I know I can do something like this:
b01.getElementAt(0).width;
And that will give me the width of the Ellipse. But how can I access the SolidColorStroke color or the SolidColor fill?
I've created a card (that extends movieclip) in flash and after that I've created an array and pushed some cards inside of it. The name of the mcs is already set, but now, I want to add them to the stage and set their x and y position.
Code: Select allvar test:Array = new Array();
var testMC1:Card = new Card();
var testMC2:Card = new Card();
[Code].....
How can I access the property x of this card? The next code is wrong, of course, but it gives the idea of what I need...
Code: Select alltest[1].x = 100
// or
test[card3.x] = 100;
I have a simple quesiton about class, method and functions inside a method and class properties. I created a new class form my custom component.. But upon developing it I found out that you can not access a property inside the function which is also inside a method..
Example
Code:
class myClass{
private var myProperty:Number = 1; //default is 1
//constructor
public function myClass(){
}//Method
[Code] .....
What I want to do is to access the property inside the method.. I also have a work-around still i cannot point a certain variable to a property of my class inside the method's function..
I 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.
It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example
I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I know there are a number of posts dealing with this issue. But, I'm still not understanding it.I keep getting a "1120: Access of undefined property CSSloader." in the following script:
package as3.comp{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
[code]........
I need to access the property Access inside of my class. Actually I can do this in my FLA Reader.Access, but take a look in onComplete function, this function try call Access, but nothing happen.[code]

View 2 RepliesI have an app where I am wanting to use some movieclips when clicked on to remove the current movieclip and add a new movieclip. My problem seems to be that whenever I refer to the homeArtist_mc movieclip I get an error.

homeArtist_mc.buttonMode = true;
And I get this error
1120: access of undefined property homeArtist_mc.

Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>.Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
first of all I am completely new to AS3.I want to create a simple website, with 3 buttons.Once you click on the button, content should appear next to it. But i have trouble
programming even one button.Here is the script:
stop();
photography_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, photoclick);
function photoclick(event:MouseEvent) {

I name frame 50 "_foo" (in the IDE)
I can trace this._currentframe at any time (and get a number)
I can gotoAndPlay("_foo");
But how can I find out if the current frame IS "_foo" as the movie plays?
This works:
ActionScript Code:
var gc:Rectangle = (textField[11].getCharBoundaries(startIndex));
trace (gc); // returns (x=32.7, y=2, w=4.15, h=8.85)
[Code].....
There are some documented bugs in getCharBoundaries, but this seems fine as it will obviously retrieve the relevant values. I can't believe I have to pull out the x value using toString() and a RegExp
Getting: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at CatProcess()
Don't know why. When I run it, it's the userName_iBox that isn't being added to the stage so it must be to do with that but I can't see whats wrong with it.[code]...
I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf.The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button"racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error.[code]when I press any button everything works fine except from bordButton to racerButton

I am working on a piece of code and I am getting bizar Access of undefined property name errors. I am posting my code below. About half way through the function, references to "name" become undefined.
Code:
private function getIcon(_name:String):int{
//5 is min length valid name can be y.xxx
if(_name == null || _name.length <5){
[code]....
In all the code past this method, all the variables and class names are showing as undefined.
So I'm quite to Flash, AS3, etc... And this is making me nuts I'm taking on creating this website but some of my buttons just continually get a "1120: Access of undefined property" error. These are very simple buttons (not movie clip buttons or anything fancy), and their use is to navigate from one section to another (no more no less), using Labels (not much of a surprise here either).
I'm not sure whether this is relevant but the button IS inside a movie clip called "jobPositions_mc", the instance name is "jobPositions".The button is a generic button that I reused for different job positions, each one with a different instance name. In this example, the button name is "JobsOpeningButton_btn" and the instance name is "jrSalesBtn"The label of the frame I want to go to by pressing the button is "jrSales"
The script I'm using is the following:

how to access an object property from a different frame. This is my code:
Frame 1:
var HelloWorld:Object = new Object()
Frame 2:
Number = 5
HelloWorld["Planet"+Number] = function(){}
HelloWorld["Planet"+Number].Person = "John"
[Code].....
So how could I make it accessible from all frames? I've tried adding _global to the code on Frame 1 but it still wouldn't work...
