From root I should go back two folders to get the classes I want, which by the way is TweenMax. I don't want to copy these classes to every website's folder.

View 2 RepliesWhy does FlexBuilder insist on a main class in the root of the source folder? By insist I mean that if I create an Actionscript project called MainTest. A file called MainTest.as will be placed in the root of the src folder. if I now create a package/folder called some/package and place the MainTest.as in it (and adjust the package statement accordingly), I cannot select the project to use this as the application class in Properties/Actionscript Applications as the package is empty as far as Flexbulider is concerned.
So there is a restriction that a main/application class cannot have a package other than the root package. The mxmlc compiler and FDT do not enforce this restriction so why does Flex Builder?
I am trying to develop one simple application using Java, Flex and Blazeds. I am using Flash builder 4.5, blazeds 4 and JBoss 6.I have created 'Dynamic Web' application in Eclipse, added blazeds related file in WEB-INF/lib and in WEB-INF/flex folder. I have deployed this web application in JBoss using Eclipse, so this application is getting deployed in war file.Then I tried to create new 'Flex Project' using flash builder 4.5 and I am stuck in 2nd step where we have to configure Root Folder, Root URL and Context Root.As my java web application is deployed in war, there's no folder to which I can set Root Folder.

and now I want to refactor code and move this to it's own class and method in a separate file. How could I access root now, since this obviously now points to the new class I created.
I'm currently learning AS3.0 and I'm wondering how to access the root like example in AS2.0 you use the following to access the root.[code]

View 1 Replieshow to add a listener to a button inside of a movieclip that is in the library? Example:Root->work_mc(timeline)->workss_mc(added with Addchild)There is workss_mc in the library that gets loaded when someone clicks a button inside of work_mc. This is achieved with addChild. Within workss_mc there is a close button to close this. I've run into problems with working the navigation with this b/c I need to declare and create a single instance of workss_mc at a scope where it is visible to both click handlers, Doing this will place both handlers in one location. So in order to do that I would need them all to be where the navigation code is, the root. So how can I access workss_mc from the root?

function select(event) {

I understand the reason for the error is because I'm trying to access the "Stage" when I'm not at my Document Root. The question I have it how do I do this same thing when I'm not at the Document Root?

I dont know if its the right forum for my post or not. But I need to ask if there is anyway to show the folder structure of a clients PC in flash when the user clicks on a browse button in a web site just like the one below? I googled for a "Multiple File Uploader using flash" but what I found there is that an open file window opens and we are able to select multiple files from it. I could not found anything like below. So my question is that whether we will be able toshow all the folder structure or not?

View 1 RepliesDue to reasons beyond my control, I need to be able to open an xml file located in a different folder on the same branch of the tree on a Windows client. The paths for the files are known; see example below.
Source Folder/File - D:mediasourcemovie.swf
Data Folder/FIle - D:mediadatadata.xml
Source Folder - This is the folder & file where the swf is located & executed from.Data Folder/File - This is the folder & file for the XML data file.How would I reference the XML data file path in AS2 to be executed by my source SWF?
i.e. - dataXML_xml.load("D:mediadatadata.xml");
What I'm trying to do is very very basic however its flat out not working. I'm trying to add a event listener to a button located within a movieclip thats on the root time line.Here's the code:
Code:
function main_init():void
{
[code].....
I have a movielclip, nav_mc, inside which contains my navigation buttons. Lets say I want to effect the time timeline. Before in AS 2.0 I could simply go
jan1_mc.onRelease = function() {
_root.january_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
}
Now in AS 3.0, nothing works.
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, doIt);
function doIt(evt:MouseEvent):void {
_root.january.gotoAndStop(2);
}
That doesn't work. Returns this in errors:
Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported. This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..
Neither does
root.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or
stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
(1119: Access of possibly undefined property ball_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.)
or
_stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or anything!
How do we do this very simple thing now in AS 3.0
TLDR;
How do I reference the _root timeline in AS 3.0 since _root. no longer works in 3.0

View 9 RepliesI created a movieclip called holder in my Stage and I name it, inside them i put a variable called
name = "whatever"
Now I can't access the variable from root timeline, I try this:
trace(holder.name);
The result gives me undefined! what mean this?
I fixed this error before where the source of the problem was that 'stage' was inaccessible from where I was putting the code (not in root). I deleted it and it ran fine, but the Event listeners that they were attatched to did not work anymore. I need these event listeners but when I try to put 'stage.' back infront it wont work.
This is what I had when it worked (when this file was still the root):
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keypressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyreleased);
Now my code is this, and it runs, just without the event listeners working:
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keypressed);
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyreleased);
