ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting Nested MovieClips Outside Of Scope

Oct 12, 2009

I have a movieclip added to the stage through a function.
ActionScript Code:
function myFunctionOne():void{
var myClipA:clipA = new clipA();
myClipA.name = "myClipA";
addChild(myClipA);
}

To access this item on the stage I have to use:
ActionScript Code:
getChildByName("myClipA");
I have some other movieclips INSIDE this clip that have also been dynamically added. If I want to reference one of those clips I have to reference them by name using getChildByName.
[Code].....
But is there a better way to reference movieclips if they are created inside a function, or is there a way to create them so they are always globally accessible?

Actionscript 3 :: Accessing/Scope With Loading Xml?

Aug 23, 2010

OK, it's probably easiest now to explain my problem like this, I am able to write the name of my xml file that needs to be loaded to a dynamic textfield on the stage, however, I don't seem to be able to access it after this and strip the necessary data from it, here's my code:

var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.border=true;
addChild(tf);

[Code]...

So all I want to do now is to be able to achieve the same thing but loading the xml with loadvars as I did before, from my traces it seems there is a scope issue, but I'm not sure why if "c1" can be referenced like it is above..?

Actionscript 3.0 :: Global Scope For Functions And Variables?

ActionScript 3 :: Conflicting Scope - Global Functions And Class Methods Of Same Name

Jul 6, 2011

My question deals directly with ActionScript 3, although it could possibly appear in other languages. Consider the global trace function found in AS3. Calling the method requires no imports and is globally available from all classes.
class A {
public function A() {
trace("Hello, A!"); // Hello, A!
}}

Now, what if I create my own class method of the same name? In AS3, if I have a class method trace and then make a call to trace elsewhere in my class, the call is made to the class method over the global function. Essentially, I've blocked my ability to call the global trace method.
class B {
public function B() {
trace("Hello, B!"); // no output
} public function trace(s:String):void {
// do something else.
}}

Now, I know the obvious answer is to say, "don't create a class method called trace." But what if I'm unaware of the existence of the global trace function? Or what if I have a desire to "override" or "block" the global function? Is doing so bad programming? Or is this just another example of how AS3 is a poor object oriented language?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Nested Functions Not Working?

Mar 14, 2012

I initially posted this in the AS3 NEWBY forum but I think it probably belongs here. On stage I have 5 boxes, the letter A and two buttons labelled button1 and button2. The letter A is also defined as a button labelled AA_btn. When I click on button1 I want a condition to be set so that if the letter A is clicked, boxes 2 and 4 will disappear. Conversly if I click on button2 I want boxes 1, 3 and 5 to disappear. To do this I have nested the letter A and B functions under the button1 and button2 functions.

I also have a reset button which resets the display of all five boxes back to their original display.Everything works fine when I press Button1 to set the first scenario. When I then click on the letter A boxes 2 and 4 disappear. (perfect). Everything also seems to work when I press the reset button, ie: all five boxes reappear.

Actionscript 3 :: EventListeners In Nested Functions?

Mar 12, 2012

I've got a few MouseEvent listeners outside of a function that contains nested functions that need to use the functions attached to the listeners.

button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
function navigation (): void {
if statements;

[code]....

I keep getting an "1120:Access of undefined property buttonOver" error. I know it's because the EventListener is outside of the function "navigation" but I need it to be accessed by other functions later.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested MC's And Assigning Functions?

Aug 16, 2005

I have a few rows of movie clips making a menu. Because I will be adding to the number of MC's I use a variable called "menuitems" and run a FOR loops to assign all of these MC's onrollOver, onrollOut and onRelease functions. I'm doing this to save having to assign these functions to them individualy (as they are the same functions). Its works fine, but when the MC is released it is told to jump to frame 2, where there will be nested mc's that need to be able to clicked and rolled over. Because the parent movie has event functions assigned to it they seem to overide them. Is there a way around this? I tried placing a transparent MC on the 1st frame of the movie and trying to assign the onRelease function to the "hotspot" but it doesnt work. Here is my code:

Code:
function buildthumbs () {
for (i=1; i<= menuitems; i++) {[code]...........

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loosing Mc Functions When Nested In Another Mc?

I have this menu_mc appearing on stage on RollOver.Inside this menu_mc are 5 other mcs that are also supposed to react on rollOver.But : the rollOver works only on the menu_mc, the rollOver on the nested mcs no. I put all the script on the main stage, accessing my nested mcs with the "insert target path".I tried also to put the script of the nested mcs inside the menu_mc movie clip, but it does not respond.What do I do wrong ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Dynamic Nested MC's?

Jul 30, 2009

I'm working on an educational game that interacts with randomly selected characters. The names and attributes are imported from xml. I have a mc called characters that contains each character on a frame tagged with their name. The frame label is the characters name and I am having no problem displaying each character as they are randomly called.

Code:
characters = new Characters();
characters.gotoAndStop(characterName);
characters.y = 350;
gameSprite.addChild(characters);

Each charater is a mc with 2 frames one with mouth closed and one with mouth open. Because the characters are accessed using the variable characterName as the frame tag I can't figure out how to tell the movie in AS3 to gotoAndStop on frame 2 of the character mc. I've tried numerous variations and just can't get it to work.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing A Nested Movieclip?

Sep 1, 2010

This is probably a very simple solution, but I can't seem to find it online. Basically, I have a button that need to change a movieclip's frame in it's parent.So I tried:

ActionScript Code:
_parent.slideshowImages.gotoAndStop(2);

But it's not working! I know I'm getting to the right locaiton because _parent holds a variable, and I can access that just fine. But I for some reason can't access the movieclip at all.

Note: I can't upgrade to AS3 (What I'm used to) as this isn't my file.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [F8] Accessing Nested Nodes In XML

Oct 3, 2006

I'm trying to access some information in XML. I got the first few nodes working, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get to the nested nodes. I've tried everything i can think of. I thought it would have to do with nested for loops, but i couldn't get it to work. What am I missing? I've been pretty successful with simple XML, and this is relatively simple too, but more than I'm used to at this point... If there is a better way to do any of this, I'm all ears (or all eyes in this case )

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Nested Movieclips?

Dec 5, 2009

I have a movie clip (assigned to a class) with several keyframes. Each keyframe consists of another movieclip, which contains an animation and all use the same name. Lastly, several of the animations contain a third movieclip, which is also assigned to a class and also use the same name. I need the first movieclip to speak to the third, unfortunately, it simultaneously tells me that the clips in the second layer (the ones at the keyframes) exist and do not exist. Namely: second layer "does not exist" in that the primary movieclip has only one child: a null. If I add other movieclips to the primary's frames, they also report back as nulls depending on what frame I'm on. I've tested this in several parts of the code, though I suppose it's possible that I managed to pick five equally bad spots. It's just so bizarre I still don't know what to think about it. However, the second layer of named clips are there, but I can only prove it by deliberately breaking the code in hopes of deliberately getting a reference error (by attempting to make the clip private, which isn't allowed given my setup).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Variables In Nested Functions?

Feb 1, 2010

I'm starting to get a handle on some AS3 basics in terms of building nested classes or packages or whatever the proper syntax terminology is.

Now I have two instance functions:

1 - parseXML

2 - loadImage

I have these 2 functions working together using an eventHandler. Once the XML is parsed the aim is to load an image. Sounds pretty common right?

When the image loading commands are in the parseXML function they work fine. But then when I put the image loading commands in separate function titled loadImage and trigger it using an eventHandler onComplete, it loses my variable and instance definitions.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Avoiding Nested Functions In A Class?

Nov 9, 2004

I have run into this problem twice now, for two different reasons. Technically the more recent time it isn't a roadblock, but rather I just want to avoid memory waste by not using nested functions for my event handlers.[URL]

The reason I've come to this forum is that I always went on my merry way, defining event handler functions on movieclips within functions, until today, I read "I really didn't like the idea of defining an event handling function within a method of a class. I don't think nested functions are a really good practice." in the archives of the BIT-101 blog. So I decided to try to extract these and assign only a reference to each movieclip that needs the function. The problem is, it's in a class - and I need access to the properties of the movieclip from within the function. I figured I might be able to extend MovieClip, but I don't want anything in the library, so I run into the problem of how I would use my new movieclip-extending class - I read something about using the Linkage name of "__Packages."+[classname] - is that really proper? Either way, my final question is - if it's not good practice to use nested functions within the class, where do I create my event handler functions?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Elements From Within Nested MC?

Apr 3, 2011

After quite some time I finally decided to pick up Flash again, this time taking the OOP route. I'm a bit rusty though, so I'm stuck on something pretty basic.Here's my Layout of relevant objects and scripts:

Stage > gunAmmo (TextField)
Stage > player (MC) > pistol (MC)
........ > player.as > pistol.as

As you might've guessed, what I'm trying to do is set the gunAmmo.text property from within my pistol class. I've tried using MovieClip(root).gunAmmo, stage, etc., but neither seems to be working. I sort of get why, but I don't know what the correct syntax is. (And yes, the TF's instance name has been set correctly.
