ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Child Images From A Class?
Jul 27, 2010
I'm having trouble adding images to the screen from an AS3 class that's being called from within a flex application. I'm writing the application using flash builder CS5.
As far as I understand it, display content is added to the screen using the addchild() method of the display object. Every which way I try to add an image to a display object I get an implicit coersion error from image to whatever.
Is there a specific set of steps I need to take?(i.e. wrap the image in a container and then add that) Or is there another way to display an image on the screen programmatically?
This application is for a game and I need to be able to display these images via a class that handles the tiling. I've been able to work around the problem so far by declaring the images as native mx:Image flex components and then referencing them via my program, but that's only suitable as a temp fix. Is there some other way to display the images from actionscript?

i have a BasicMap.as that takes an Array and populates itself with the MC objects passed to it by a String reference.it inherits from Sprite, and so it just places the objects on its self.then i have a class that inherits from that class, and gives a little more functionality to it, but in order for it to do that, it needs to place the objects not on itself, but instead inside a holder Sprite, so here is my problem:
code:
package Mushroom{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I think this is a pretty simply problem but I do not seem to be able to pull it off. Basically I have a parent class A, and a child class B.Class A instantiates class B with addChild.There is a shared object which is being updated from a java server (red5) that has an event listener attached to it in class A.I have a function in class A which will pass certain, specific updates from this shared object to class B.The problem occurs is that when class B is instantiated, the event listener from class A doesn't work anymore. I have not removed the event listener from A.?

I'm trying to make smoothing for images which loaded with loadclip(). I found function for smoothing and it works but only for movieclips located in _level0, for example _level0.mc, but I want to smooth children MC, for example _level0.parent_mc.children_mc and then image just disappears. Smoothing function:
here = this; // trace(here) == _level0
bg_smooth = function (bg):Void {
var bg_depth:Number = bg.getDepth();
var bg_name:String = bg._name;
var bg_parent = bg._parent;
[Code] .....
Also tried to write _level0.parent_mc['children_mc'] instead of parent_mc.children_mc and to make here == _level0.parent_mc - still no luck. If I remove bg_smooth (element) on load complete then all works fine but of course smoothing disabled.

I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

I need to create a new Stems object as a child of the scene when the user stops dragging a Star object, but do not know how to reference the scene from within the Star class's code.
I've tried passing the scene into the constructor of the Star and doing sometihng like:
this.scene.addChild (new Stems ());
But apparently that's not how to do it... Below is the code for Stems and Stars,
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;

I have one custom class named player, which plays video from RTMP Server. It has property named cliptime:Number and it holds the video's duration through the metadata.duration property. I have other class named controlbar which holds the control bar for the video. I use TweenMax.to to move It's video slider and I want the tween's duration value to be the player class' cliptime property. But I can't get this value. Both classes are child of ramesCont class and are added to it. framesCont and controlbar extends Canvas class, and player extends Sprite if it matters.

Im trying to build a class that moves around some movieclips on the stage, but it would never be that easy would it!
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Rotation extends MovieClip {
[Code]...
So I waddled it down to the "stage.addChildAt(mcContainer[i], i);" bit and I've tried everything that I could think of, but nothing seems to work.
With this version of the code, I would get "The supplied index is out of bounds." error, I can change it to addChildAt etc, but that just gives me a different error.
I had this working when it was in a flash file, its converting it into a usable class thats bugging me. All the MovieClips in the array are being exported for Actionscript.

I've been using greensock classes in a parent movie, but am now looking to use the same classes from within some child movies, but it doesn't work (I presently have to import them into each child movie - what a waste).
Do I need to create the classes as a shared library object perhaps? If so, how would I go about it? as I've only ever done this for MCs or MP3s.

I want to add a child to the stage for 5 seconds and then remove it. When I use the following code I get a "1120: Access of undefined property WordoScreen." error.
In particular the problem only occurs when I use the "removeChild(WordonScreen);" using the TIMER_COMPLETE. If I remove that statement I don't have a problem.[code]...

I am trying to make a "Achtung! die kurve" - like game in Actionscript 3.0. So far I've done the movement of one of the 'worms', and it works alright. I wanna divide it into different class files, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have a .fla file and 4 .as files. So far I only have code in two of these. When I put all my code directly into the fla file, it works perfectly fine, but when I put it into my player class, it won't 'add the child' to the stage. Here is my player .as file: [URL].
The reason why I commented the addChild, is because I wanna do this in my mainFile.as. This is from the main file: [URL]. I'm not quite sure how to call it in the main file, so I'm guessing that this would be the issue. All the files are named and placed correctly in the same folder, and flash says that each of my .as files are targeting the .fla file, so this doesn't seem to be the issue. How I can change the speed of my sprite.

There we go. What i want to do is, I want to create an instance of the Player class, which then creates an instance of the Actor class, which in the _draw() function should add an image to the stage, but I can't figure out how to do that. I want this image to be an instance in the Player's Actor instance, so i later can move it around, the same goes for the user name text. how do i add an image and a user name text field to the stage at player.__x and player.__y?

I'm working on a game where I'm adding a symbol (an enemy unit) from the Library via addChild() to an instance on the Stage. The symbol has Linkage/Class enabled so I can stick stat variables directly on it for easy access.The problem is that I want to use the same name for enemies (like en0, en1) in different areas, but if I try to removeChild(), I get Error 1067: Implicit coercion of type Class to type DisplayObject.

I wrote two projects using the same 3D library but I modified it pretty heavily in one (to the extent that the inheritance is pretty different on one) - now I need to load one into the other and I'm getting some weird errors that look like the child swf is trying to use the same class definitions as the parent even though it should be in an entirely different namespace.
So - anyone have a tricky way of forcing the loaded swf to use the classes it's compiled with rather than the ones already defined in the parent swf (and vice versa) or do I need to refactor all my stuff?

If an object, or say... a document class, creates an instance of a class (and stores it as a variable), and it doesn't pass any arguments to the constructor of the class, can that class object, by simply having a function of it called by the parent, tell who sent it that command/request?In other words, can a class object know who called it (such as it's parent) via a (seemingly) anonymous call?

i am new to AS 3.0. I am preparing the game, which will initially display login page, after username validation. It enters into the game. I have prepared login page and a game in a separate file. To load all these files, I have main file which loads the login page and game file. When the preloaded completes, ill show the login page. Using application domain Ill access the login button. When I press the login button, ill send the entered user name and password to the server for validation. Based on the response will allow the user to enter. Now my problem is, I want to show game screen based on the username validation response. I am not sure how to do this.
