ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Stage From A Child Swf?
Mar 9, 2010
I am creating a fullscreen (no scale) site, so I am placing the position of my movieclips by referring the stage.[code]...
that code sets the x property of the movie clip fine when stand alone but when loaded into another swf it has trouble accessing the stage.
How can I access the height and width of the stage from a child swf? I have already tried both parent and root which give no errors, however they are not tracing proper values and are throwing everything in the wrong place

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 seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine

i 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).

The name of my DocumentClass is Main. So, what's the difference between :
var myClass:Main = new Main();

i've made a simple example here to show you my problem. I have basically created a stage object ("box"), with the nested children, box->b->c. I have exported box for as, with class "box" and base class movieclip. Now i create 4 instances of my box class and add an eventlistener to the nested child c. When i later on try to remove the eventlisterner for myinstance.b.c i get: TypeError: Error #1010: term is undefined and has no properties.at DocumentClass/removeSomething(). Here is my code:
package
{
import ....

I am trying to add a child in a movie clip and perform basic operations on the child but I cannot get access to the child.
It loads the child to the movieclip "FLine1MC" but it says FLine1MC.ClipArt1 does not exist when I try to change the x location.
function AddArt1(evt:MouseEvent): void {
var ClipArt1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/mypic.gif");
var ClipArt1:Loader = new Loader();
ClipArt1.load(ClipArt1Request);
FLine1MC.addChild(ClipArt1);
FLine1MC.ClipArt1.x = 550;
}
Anybody know what's my error?
By that token, is there a way we can check the exact path of an object?

I am adding a movieclip in a class I will call class B that is added to a class I will call class A. In class B I am adding the movieclip like this:
var thumbHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
thumbHolder.name = "thumb" + loadingCount;
MovieClip(root).slideMenuHolder_mc.slideMenu.thumbs_mc.addChild(thumbHolder);
trace("after: thumbHolder.name is: " + thumbHolder.name);
In class A, I can do something like this:
thumbs_mc.alpha = .3;
But if I try to do something like this, I get an error, even though the trace above traces out the names correctly. thumbs_mc.thumb1.alpha = .3;

I have a cloud named cloud2_mc and in its timeline i have a cloud layer, and an actions layer. I took the cloud and made it into a a Movie clip clip with an instance name of embeddedcloud_mc in this Movie clips timeline i have a 50 frame animation of the cloud breaking appart and disapating with a tween and i have a stop(); function on frame 1 of this layer.
What I want to happen is, when the cloud2_mc movie clip is clicked to play the animation of the cloud breaking appart. the cloud2_mc has a trajectory moving slowly accross the sceen continuously when the cloud2_mc reaches the side of the sceen it loops again. When the animation is clicked i would like it to continue across its path but, when the cloud2_mc reaches to left hand side of the screen i want the embeddedcloud_mc to reset its timeline and go back to its original state where the cloud has not broken appart.
My question is, how do I access an embedded movie clips timeline to tell it to play an animation on its timeline as well as, how do i make the same object restet its timeline to frame 1?

I am developing a shopping cart for my web store. What I am trying to do is initially a store front is rendered where a user selects the products and adds them to a shopping cart. The "cart" is a vector that holds all of the products selected. The user is then sent to a review page where he/she can review their order. It is then communicated to a PHP page for the final checkout and what not.[code]...

I am adding movieclips (myBall) to the stage by the click of a button. There is a base class applied to myBall which allows it (and its children) to be dragged and dropped. Within the base class on mouse down, along with startDrag, the movieclip is being brought to the top index. I would like to be able to refer to this movieclip in my document class. The point of doing this would be to apply a function to the last clicked movieclip (finding what movieclip was last clicked would happen by applying the function to the movieclip (myBall) with the highest index).[code]...

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?

var mySymbol_01:Symbol01 = new Symbol01();
var mySymbol_02:Symbol02 = new Symbol02();
[Code].....
and remove the comments, the file breaks and no Movie Clips appear on the stage. Does this have to do with casting the Children as Movie Clips, which I may not have done here?

I'm creating an actionscript project in Flex Builder. I succeed to export from Flash a SWC file, and to use it succesfully in Flex. I have a good programming background and Flex looks very simple for me, but I have difficult times in flash. I'm trying to achieve something that might be very simple(not for me of course): I create a simple shape in Flash, convert it to symbol. Then I create a TextField. The I select both the elements and convert them to another symbol, and Export it as a movieclip in swc.
In flex I want to change the value from the textfield. How should I do? I'm trying to do:
var t:ExportedMC = new ExportedMC();
t....(what should I write here)
As I mentioned when I open flash I feel like an elephant in a porcelain store. I have 2 questions here: - how to assign a name to the textfield in flash? I'm using CS4. - how to access it as a child in flex?
