On main stage i have two objects - player (with class) and enemy (without class, but with instance name).Now i need to access enemy from within player class. I was looking for solution in google for days But i found nothing useful for me. Here's player class (it's not document class):
[Code]...
i know this may seem kind of dumb, but how does one access the document class from a child movie clip on the stage?
i have a property in my class. Just a string for testing:
Code:
public var s:String = 'can you see me';
it traces on the root time line, but it errors out if tracing it from a movieclip on the root time line.
I've got a textfield on the main Fla called 'debug'i've created a Class which refers to the textfield, but when i launch my fla, it says:1120: Access of undefined property debug.
ActionScript Code:
package {

[code]....
so let's say that i have a movie clip called button_mc on stage in a file called test.fla
how can i access this button from a class (eg: test.as ) to addeventlistener to it
I've instantiated a class on the main timeline where the stage is[code]...
View 6 RepliesI have a movieclip in stage with instance name 'ts'.
I have a class Test.as
How should i refer to MovieClip 'ts' in stage from my Test class. Say for example I want 'ts' to gotoandstop at frame2.I tried root.ts but received a error.
I am making dynamic drag and drop game.I have a class for the dragged items containing the drag drop code.My problem is I can't call/access the movie clips I've already put on the stage in my hit test statement.Here is my code and target1_mc & target2_mc are the existing movie clips on the stage:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]......
Anybody know how to call any movie clip on stage from a class?[code]...

I have a Flash file with Movice Clips that are placed on the stage at author time. Let's say one of the clips is called "stageClipMC".[code]Tracing "stageClipMC" return "undefined". From this class, how would I access the clip on the stage? I have tried different variations on "MovieClip(root)" and "MovieClip(stage)" to no avail.
View 2 RepliesI 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]...
I'm trying to change a varialbe in a seperate class from inside a movieclip that I have on the stage in the timeline, but the variable I'm trying to change keeps coming up as null instead of what I am trying to change it to. How is this usually done?
View 6 RepliesIn my project are pages of text with each word having a button that when pressed will display a movieclip presentation about that word (its pronounciation and spelling etc..). In the project I am working on now I have over 450 unique presentations of words to deal with. I don't want to have all of these hundreds of movie clips on the stage and tell them one at a time to stop and rewind and then have one play each time a word button is pressed. That seems to be very inefficient to me.
add movieclips to the stage using addChild(movieclipname) and remove them using removeChild(movieclipname) but there is a problem. I have hundreds of unique movieclips and I don't want to have to manage hundreds of variables containing the indivudual movieclip instancess. It is a real pain having to figure out what instance is still on the stage before i delete it.In Adobe Director all I have to do is this:
i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;
How to access a display object on the stage in a class which is not a document class?
I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve passing the stage as a parameter to the class.
One solution i always come across is using "TopLevel.as". Is it a good method because as far as I have heard using global variables is not recommended because it might cause some problems while working on big projects.
I was wondering how do you access the stage property from a different class that's not the principal class tied to the fla? Essentially, I have main.as which calls another class menu.as, and I can't seem to be able to use the stage.stageWidth property from menu.as. What's the proper way to be able to use the stage property from any class? Do I have to import it separately each time?
View 2 RepliesI'm making obstacles for my game, and basically what I have is a movieclip called char on the maintimeline and a movieclip called floor.. within the movieclip floor i put a movieclip called obstacle in. What I want to do is check to see if char hit obstacle, so itd be like hitTestObject(floor.obstacle) then make the main timeline go to frame 2..
View 1 RepliesI want to load a random movie clip from the library to an empty clip on the stage called (bg_graphics). the clips in the library are called (green, blue, yellow).
View 5 RepliesI have a MC, instance name "jez_mc" this is inside an MC, instance name "container_mc". container_mc on on the stage.I then have an MC dynamically added to the stage. In this MCs timeline I want to access a variable stored in the class that is linked to jez_mc. This var that I want is named "score"So i figured in my timeline I could use something like:
var _jez_mc:MovieClip;
_jez_mc = MovieClip(root).container_mc.jez_mc;
trace("_jez_mc.score");

I'm trying to access a MovieClip created within the authoring tool from an ActionScript class. Here is my code:
PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class MoreVideos extends Sprite {
[Code].....
I also tried changing that to [stage.moreVideosBox.visible = false;], but I then got "1119: Access of possibly undefined property moreVideosBox through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage."
Is it possible to directly alter items in the authoring tool from a class? If I move 'moreVideosBox.visible = false;' outside of the class, in the main .as file, it works fine.
i have textfield myTxt on stage, and i have Room.as class file.
Actionscript Code:

I need to access objects on stage from within class.
This is for AIR: My document class imports a separate class "ConnMonitor" and uses it to constantly monitor the network connection. It's at the very end of that class where it's supposed to update a textfield on the stage as the connection changes, but the class can't access the textfield.

I can't able to access the my_mc(placed in FLA) movieclip. How do I access?
I have a document class called Main, and a class called DispatchEventExample. In DispatchEventExample, I'm trying to add an event listener to the stage but get an 1120 error, access of undefined property stage.
If I understand things correctly, even though I create an instance of DispatchEventExample in Main, it's not added to the display list & therefore cannot access stage.
