ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild - Attach MovieClip To Flash From Class
Feb 15, 2009
I believe this should be a very simple fix, but I cannot for the life of me get this working, and i've been playing with it all day. Basically I am trying to start working with classes, I want to attach a movieclip to a flash movie, from my class [its for a card game style thing]. But when I attach a movie clip, it does not appear on the screen,. It exists, I can trace its .x position etc.
Code:
Select allpackage arrayTrial{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Deck extends MovieClip{
private var totalCards = -1;
[Code] .....

I want to "attach" a variable to a movieclip, do I need to create the movieclip in the class file? What I have is a movieclip in the library that is placed on stage multiple times. What I would like to do is have a class that when one of the movieclips is clicked, will add a variable to that particular instance of the movieclip.

I know it is possible to attach a class to a movieclip that exists in the library by checking 'Export for ActionScript' and specifying an 'AS 2.0 class' for that symbol.
I would really like to know if it's also possible to attach a class to a movieclip that was created by using the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method.

I'm working on a Flash Lite 3.0 application using AS2 and I've created a class that extends MovieClip. The problem is that I'd like to dynamically add Child Movieclips using the addChild method... but it doesn't work, it gives me the following compiler error: "There is no method with the name 'addChild'". But I can call other MovieClip specific methods such as this.getNextHighestDepth()
heres a reduced version of my class:
class com.sck.DragList extends MovieClip {
//Declarations
private var placeHolder:MovieClip;
private var listMask:MovieClip;

What I describe here is not correct. My full code had some other things in it that was the reason I couln't see mc2. The code described under is actually working!
I have custom class (MyContainer) that extends Sprite. Then:
Code:
var mycon:MyContainer = new MyContainer();
var mc1:Sprite = new Ball(); // Ball is a sprite in my library
var mc2:Sprite = new Ball();
[Code]....
it works, but I dont want that, as MyContainer has custom variables and functions I use. A simple: if (mycon is DisplayObjectContainer) evaluates to true.

I have a 20 frame MovieClip in the library with a Class attached to it. There is nothing in the Class except the usual stuff pertaining to MovieClips with a Class (import display.movieClip and so on). The first frame in the movieClip timeline is a stop() command. I only want the clip to play sometimes. So in the main document timeline, I add the clip from the library as such:
Code:
var testClip:SampleClass = new SampleClass();
addChild(testClip);
But with this instance, I also want it to begin playing. However the following is not working:
Code:
MovieClip(testClip).play();// doesn't work?
testClip.play();// also doesn't work?
But, if I delay things a bit it DOES work - like this:
Code:
Tweener.addTween(testClip, {y:0, time:.5, onComplete:function() {testClip.play()}});
// works fine, clip begins playing
Why delaying the play command works, but telling it to play on instantiating doesn't?

I'm trying to have a class file which can add objects to the stage via addChild; however, when I call addChild from within the class file, I get the error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild." I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

I have downloaded Box2d ([URL]) and created a project that looks like this: [URL]. catalyst is the green cube and it has the base class "shapes.box", it is inside "world" which has the base class "wck.World". What i want to do is to add another "catalyst" from the library inside "world" when i click on add_btn. I tried to accomplish this by this code:

How do I make sure that a movie clip that starts on the stage has a higher zindex then when I addChild and add a linked movieClip from the library.
Really my code is pretty simple
background_image = new Sprite();
main_container.addChild (background_image);
But I have a movieClip "message_box" that I dragged onto the main timeline. When i add the background_image which is the full size of the stage it overlays the "message_box"
I know you can set the childs index but how do I set the "message_box" index?

I have gotten the AR tutorials from [url]....and are having fun with the flarsquidderkit for multiple pattern detection.However I would like to have a start page, and a high score page for the game based on this, and have tough time figuring how to make the timeline code works for this.
flarsquidderkit have extended papervision3d and has its own 3DdisplayObject, and the flash's MovieClip addChild() is not working.how to extend the movieClip class when my document class has already extended another super class,and also if I can control the score via timeline instead of dumping every single thing in to the document class?

In my .fla file, in frame 1 on the main timeline, I have a Button symbol in the display list. When that button is clicked, a function removes it from the display list, then adds a MovieClip (created in the library & exported for AS3) to the display list, then plays the MovieClip. Within that MovieClip, on the last frame is the stop(); function. The MovieClip is an animation of a transition from one room to another.Everything works ok up to this point.
After the MovieClip is done playing, I need to add more whatevers to the display list (such as a button to transition back to the previous room).The problem is I don't know how to tell ActionScript to wait till the MovieClip has played before adding to the display list. When trying to get it to do so, it just skips to the last frame of the MovieClip, not playing the animation.
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
[code].....

Are they just constantly adding MC's to the display list as the mouse is moved around? Doesn't that kill memory?
Is there a way to draw lines with Flash's core graphic class but attach a custom bitmap to that line?

I fought with the IDE and read around all day enough to learn that in AS3, the exported class name of a lib symbol matters.I have hello.fla. In it I created a simple textfield with a string ('hello') - coverted it to a symbol (movieclip) and did the following:
made the classname 'Hello'.
Export for AS is checked
Export in first frame is checked.
Once i did all that i nuked the instance on the stage. I thought I might add some extra functionality later so I actually also built a Hello.as class, which extends MovieClip, and which lives in the default pkg* and the whole fla builds fine:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....

I have an FLA in which there are a number of MovieClips in its library. I also have a document class for this FLA, which I will refer to as Body.as from here out.From Body.as, I call other classes designed to put stuff together and allow for organization due to large amount of MCs I have to use in the FLA. For reference, these classes are called as such: Head.as, Chest.as, Arms.as, etc etc.Now, where Body.as is the document class, and is therefore functioning to operate all areas in the FLA, I wanted to use these additional class files to be used to manage anything related to them, including any MCs I have. I'll use Head.as for explaining. To that end, I have four MCs, each named as follows:hat1hat2hathat4s part of trying to organize it all, I want to be able to call a singular function in Head.as that will retrieve these MovieClips and add them to the stage (Or, as I hope to do once I get a bit further in, add them to a larger MC that will then be added to the stage).

I am making a site and have a component on the stage that is put there dynamicly through AS 2.0. When I F5 or Ctrl F5 it seems that the actionscript is read allover again?Only the script that is situated in the specific label. What if I have script in that label that creates a news reader. I f12 and the news reader is there I jump to another label with the menu. when i jump back to the home label the news reader does not appear on the stage. after a f5 or ctrl f5 it does.Do I have to attach the movieClip in each label to assure a the dynm-movieClip script is on stage for the ctrl f5 issue?

Im trying to create an inventory where when you click an object it will automaticly go into your inventory, the inventory is embedded in other movieclips.I have quite a few spaces(movieclips) in the inventory box when it is open but I just need it so when you click an object it attaches to a movieclip in the inventory.I also need it so that if you click a different item it attaches to the next space in the inventory rather than overlapping an item you have clicked before. I would only have only about 15 (or something similar) spaces so if I have clicked 16 items the 16th item cannot go into the inventory.

A can't seem to get this creating movieclip thing, or attach movieclip. What I want is when a certain button is pressed, a MC in the library is created on the work area, at the mouse location and will continue to follow the mouse untill it is clicked. Once clicked, it stops dragging, but if clicked again, another MC on the screen will gotoAndStop(2); and so on. I have most of the script idea down. But I can't seem to get the create new MC to work.

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

I'm trying to use attachMovie to attach a movieclip to another movieclip. Both the movieclips are set up as buttons (ie. they have _up, _over, _down, _hit states). The problem is if I define event handlers for both mcs, only the event handler on the parent clip works.
myBtn is already on the stage:
myBtn.onRollOver = function():Void { this.attachMovie("pageButton","chldBtn",1); this.onPress = function():Void { trace("parent"); //works }; this.chldBtn.onRelease = function():Void { trace("attached Movie"); // doesn't work };};
I've tried 'delete this.onPress' for the parent mc but this makes no difference.
How can I get the attached mc event handler to work?

I want to attach mEnemyIdle to a movieclip from a class which I am call this. I want the movieclip to update its _x _y _rotation based of its parent and I want to use it as a hitzone for this.
I am trying this code but I am getting errors?
cName = this+'_ha';

this[cName]._x = _x;
this[cName]._y = _y;
