ActionScript 3.0 :: Access MovieClip From External Class File?
Jan 19, 2009
I am currently using an external Class file for an instance in my .fla project. It creates an instance of that specific class and has it carry out some functions.I want to access a MovieClip on the stage in the .fla file in the external Class file. How can I do this?For example, the Class file creates an instance of that class, and I want the x and y coordinates of that instance to be equal to that of let's say circle_mc. Now circle_mc is on the stage of the .fla file, and therefore cannot be accessed. How can I get around this?

I'm working on what might be called my first OOP project using AS3. I have no prior programming experience and I'm just starting out learning AS3. So here's my question - The project FLA file has no graphics on its timeline. All the graphics are imported externally through a display class which loads several .swf files onto the main stage. In one of these .swf files there is a MovieClip instance (which is functioning as a mask) by the name of viewArea_mc.
Now I'm working on a new class which has something to do with graphics that will be revealed through the viewArea_mc mask (mentioned above). My question is basically how do I address this viewArea_mc object from this new class? Let's say this new class is a kind of container whose width and height are dependent on the width and height of viewArea_mc. How do I address those properties of viewArea_mc? For example, say I have a variable in this new class called container. Why is this code giving me an error?
Code:
Select allvar container:Sprite = new Sprite;
container.width = 2 * viewArea_mc.width;
The error I get is:
Access of undefined property viewArea_mc

Instead of posting my entire files and such, I'll make a brief example of my situation and my desired outcome.My files consist of my document class entitled Engine.as and another class Abilities.as all within the same folder.On my stage I have a MovieClip with the instance name of item1_mc. On its personal timeline I have 2 frames, one entitled "inactive" and the other "active". Here's a sample of very similar code....
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
How do I access item1_mc? In reality I have 6 different clips and I desire to access much more than frame changes...what's the overall best way to be able to interact with an item placed on the stage via an external .as file that is not the document class?

I've been searching around all afternoon, and am pulling my hair out. 1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)
Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
[Code]...
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1. I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable? Is there a really easy way to do this with some syntax/command that I have not learned yet?

I am trying to access a function in a loaded swf that has external class.. I would like to avoid having to put the function on my "Main" Doc class in the external swf and instead access the function directly from the class
This is what ive tried so far and it's a no dice:
private function startLoad(){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("one.swf");

So I have a class that reads from an external XML file, and it works great. (uses RLRequest and complete event listener)I have functions in it to read certain parts of the file.Im trying to create a new instance of that class in my document class. I am able to do this, BUT because the XML class loads the file, and uses a complete event listener to load it, anything I try to access (var or function) come up blank because it fires before the file is done being loaded.Id like to be able to do something like this.
Code:
var prefs:XMLClass = new XMLClass();
var localcolor:uint = prefs.color; (access the public variable color)

I've a website in which i have a menu that handle some external swf.My Problem is that when i've clicked on one section of the website and then i click on another menu button to gain access on another section i wanna to make an "go out transition" for the current loaded section. This transtion must be different for every website section, so for this i'm going to create a "go out transition" in every external swf class that i have for every section.Now my question is: How can i access from the main class to every single classes of the section to obtain the properly "go out transition" ?

This situation is rather tricky because I'm having to control movieclips/properties in both the Parent and Child SWFs.
The path I took was not to have a slave document in the loaded SWF as it was looking for all the library movieclips I was referencing in the Parent. I didn't know how to resolve that easily, so I decided to to refer to the Loaded SWF movieclips using an instance of the class onComplete[code]...

have an external class which controls about 400 buttons. But I want this class to also be able to show a Popup window. But this would mean I would need to access the Library.Within this library would be a MovieClip exported for Actionscript with the name PopUP.WITHIN the fla it's easy:PHP Code:va popUpWindow:PopUP = new PopUP();addChild(popUpWindow);

I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I took a template to create a flash game using AS3 and it uses a class that first runs a movieclip where the game is played. So when the game runs, I set a countdown timer to count down from 60 to 0. When it hits 0, I want to go to another movieclip.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to access the other movieclip.
My code are as follows
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

I was wondering if it was possible to access the document class from within a movieclip.
I am creating a slideshow type project, and I'm using a document class to switch between the frames using the arrow keys. However, in one of the "slideshow screen" movieclips, I want to have it stop, and then play another part when the arrow key is pressed again.
I tried to access my nextScreenToPlay method within the document class, but whenever I try to do it within a movie clip, I get this error: Call to a possibly undefined method nextScreenToPlay through a reference with static type class.
If I do a trace(Main), within a movieclip, it shows the class.

trace(MovieClip(root).TRACE);
so at pesent I am using this to try and access
Code:
public var TRACE:String
in the the document class.
however I am getting this
"1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript.�"
my document class extends to Sprite as I have some stage resizing that occurs on Initialise
Code:
StaticInheritance extends Sprite
Im sure it has something to do with the way the document class extends.

I've created a custom class (not the document class, otherwise there would be no problem) and I want to be able to access a MovieClip that is sitting on the stage.
How? MovieClip(parent), MovieClip(root)... don't work. What's the proper procedure?
Also, can I pass the MovieClip from the Document Class to another custom Class?
