I have a lot of actionscript drawing Sprites and adding them to the stage. I need to access them to animate them once they're added but I can't figure out how. Also, I read that a sprite has no timeline. If it doesn't have a timeline, that doesn't necessarily mean I can't animate does it? I mean, I should still be able to move it's position on screen or change it's color?

I am trying to add multiple different versions of the same button to the stage and to be able to access them later on by assigning them an ID. The way I assumed this would be done is to have a class for the button where an internal static variable is defined so that the ID can be found in the next function. This does not seem to be working, as the ID is constantly showing as the last number given, so in this case 6.I assume that I am doing this wrong? Here is my code so you can better understand:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

I'm having a problem with getting the value of an item that the user selects in my mobile Flex application. When I select an item from the list I place that item into an ArrayCollection. But when I check the value (trace()), the value is [object Object] and I can't seem to access the actual value of the object. Here is what I am doing:
private var selectedPlayers:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
private var numOfPlayers:int;
...
//check if item is not already in selected players list

in AS2 I used to use this kind of code to get certain items in a movie clip :
PHP Code:
for (var sItem in this) { // do something with this[sItem]}
How do I do similar things in AS3? I mean, how can I access this[sItem] in AS3?
Within a DataGrid, I have a DataGridColumn that uses a custom component as the item renderer. Within the component, I have an ArrayCollection that stores a set of value objects. My problem is that I cannot access the ArrayCollection values from outside of the item renderer component. Does anyone know how it would be possible to do this? I have posted a code snippet below.

View 1 Replies- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.

I am actually trying to add user's input name into a sharedobject.
for example: This is code from frame44 and the movie loops back to frame 1 after students input other minor data.
var newstudent:String = NewFishInput.text;
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("studentlist");
so.data.name = newstudent;
so.flush();
The code that i have is there. However, i can't figure out how do i add additional instance of newstudent after the movie loops back to frame 1 and play til frame 44, prompting another student to add in his name....

I've created a flash builder actionscript 3 project which loads an external swf which was created in flash cs5 which contains the combobox component.How do i dynamically add items to it?
mc1['itemList'].addItem({label:"test"});
when I add items nothing appears in the component but when I make a second adding cycle List shows the one I added previously...The code with which I add my elements is this.The studied method is updateStorages(), the rest is to understand how's the process cycle.All the trace you see in the code works with no problem.

View 7 RepliesI have a news rotator that is populated from an RSS feed. The rotator has a timer that cycles through the news items, displaying a link and image and title for each item. I have the put in three buttons for the user to control the item that is displaying. A pause, forward and backward button.
My issue is that I'm not sure how to implement the button without messing up my timer that is already running. I was able to do the Pause button, which was simply to stop the timer. The forward and backward buttons are a bit more tricky. This is what I have so far. Note that I have much of the code duplicated because I needed to initialize the objects for the first timer index. After the first item, the code runs from the timerHandler() function.

Tell me what needs to be done in order to get item display onto the stage in Action Script 3. I wrote this code to receive RSS Feeds and it seems to work perfectly, however, I can't get it to display on the stage. When I test, it displays code in the "Output" window.

My items no longer sit on top of the gray area outside the stage. When I try to move an item off the stage it goes under and I cant see it.I am using cs 5.5. I think I must have changed an option somewhere, becuase if I open up a new document everything is fine.
View 1 RepliesI want to be able to select a item (image, movieclip etc) that has been added to the stage in Flash and access its file name.
So if I drag a image called 'imageOne.png' onto the stage, I want to be able to access its name, 'imageOne.png', and pass it to a Extension for Flash that I'm building. I know I can get details from the library, but not from the items selected on the stage.
Can anyone tell me how to access this information using JSFL.
How can i add one item of an array to the stage at a time?

I want to click on "item1_mc", have the specified objects move away and then when clicking on item1_mc again I want to have them move back to their original positions. When clicking on "item1_mc" it provides both trace statements and performs the second if statement, even though "activeCurrent" is set to false. Further clicking only creates the trace statements and nothing else.
The following script works perfectly, but I can't get the library item (which is a mc, class "helmet") to display. Do I need to import additional classes to display the mc?
