I've been working on an as3 project for quite some time now, but I can't seem to get the following code working for some reason:
Code:
var test1:Object = new Object;
stage.addChild(test1);
I keep getting the same error:
Implicit coercion of a value with Static Type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display: DisplayObject
I`m having a silly problem with adding instance of an object to the stage two or more times. For example, this don`t work:
Code:
var temp0:SomeClass = new SomeClass();
this.addChild(temp0);
this.addChild(temp0);
Well, I know that one instance is one instance and two objects of the same class on the stage would be two instances, but still, it is what I need.
I want to add a key listener to my stage, but from an object 2 depths below the stage. How would I do this? I thought about adding the listener from my doc class, but the listener function is in the object that is two depths below the stage, which would mean I would have to pass the key values to the next movie clip, then when that one is loaded, pass it to the one with the listener function. It seems very complicated, is there an easier way which keeps with the principle of OOP?

I have a library swf (asset.swf), it's document class binded to Asset.as, and in the Constructor function of Asset,[code]as known to all, we cannot visit the stage attribute before the display object added to the stage.so, when my loader.swf try to load asset.swf, it throws exception and the loading come to failure is there some one tell me how to load the asset.swf? I cannot modify the asset.swf.

View 1 RepliesI have a stage bigger than the size of a browser, and I have a camera to navigate around the area.Now when I click on a button, I will have something pop up blocking the whole browser, like a lightbox effect with another box on top of the blocker.The problem now is, when the blocker pops up, its position is not on the TOP LEFT corner of the browser. I've tried stage.align, but it would makes the camera or other object on stage position run.So is there any other way I could get the blocker to position according to the browser, not the stage?[code]
View 1 RepliesOk. So heres what I am trying to do. I want one movie clip to follow another one that I move around with actions on the main timeline.The problem is that the follower clip is linked to a class file and I cannot find a way to find the players position.

I want to know the difference between [object main timeline], [object Stage] and root in as3? I have read from the topic How stage, root, and MainTimeline Fit Together. But I didn't get clearly.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]
View 1 RepliesThe following is that long only because I gave examples of what I want to know, not because it is complex .I have three basic questions regarding AS 3.0 classes.
1. How can I make a class object interact with an object on stage?
For example, when I have a square (mc_Square) with class "square" attached to it and I want it to trace "Colliding!" and print the X and Y of the mc_Box on contact with an on-stage *hollow* box (mc_Box) that has no class attached to it.how to do it vice-versa would also be awesome .
2. How can I make a class object interact with the same class object? For example, when I have two squares (mc_Square) that both have the class "square" attached to it and when they collide, it prints the X and Y of both of them.
3. How can I make a class object interact with a different class object?
For example, when I have two squares mc_Square1 with class "square1 (that also has a variable Primary=true written in it)" and a mc_Square2 with class "square2"; When they collide, the one with Primary=true would be removed and it's X,Y position traced.
I'm trying to add a rectangle to the stage.I've imported the following.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm making a simple RPG platformer where a character will pass over an object. When the action key is pressed and the character is over top the object, I would like a block of text to appear on the stage with a close button to cancel out.
I would like to know how a person would go about making a "pop-up" text box.
How can I link to a movie in my libary to tell it to behave like a button. This is what I have tried but it's not working.
Code:
var selectedButtons:Array = loadButtons();
var itemX:Number = 100; // initial item x position
var itemY:Number = 100; // initial item y position

As you can see I am adding the Movies to my stage throught thier class name(apples etc). How come I can't link to it? Is it because I need to be using an instance name? And if so I would I assign one?
My code is this:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addBullet);
function addBullet(event:MouseEvent):void {
var bullet:MovieClip = new bshot();[code]....
bshot is a movieclip in my library with the class name of bshot as well.i do not understand when i click i do not get a bullet being added to the stage?
normally when i want to add a movieclip to the stage I would do this:[code]but I have an array of linkage ID's that I select from randomly at runtime so how do I code it to place it on stage?[code]
View 5 RepliesI am having is trying to add objects to stage. At the moment I can not put anything onto the stage unless it is in my Main document class (Main). How would I add to stage in my player class and bullet class?

I have 2 movieclips in the library exported as class d1 and d2 , I want to add them to the stage using something like the code below.
this doesn't work but you can understand what i want to do. what is the correct syntax ?
I've got a long list of similar movieclips I'm adding to the stage. There's 9 in total and the code looks like this...
stage.addChild(zone0_mc);
zone0_mc.x=267.6;
zone0_mc.y=120.5;
[code].....
I am pretty new to actionscript 3. I want to remove the movieclip on the stage and add a new movieclip but the button is within the currently running movieclip that I want removed. I am trying this function
homeArtist_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newArtist);
function newArtist(e:MouseEvent):void{ removeChild(homeAni_mc); addChild(artistAni_mc);}
I get these errors
[code]........
//This small class add the same movieclip to the stage with random scale and position
// Garden represents a movieClip in the library
//attached fla and document class
Why using the same name garden for all instances of Garden is not a problem? Can I track each individual instance of Garden on the screen or recall it for something else?

I have this library with more than 80 objects that i want to bind to my keyboard. My idea is use the "keyCode" to call the object to the stage, constructing the object's name inside a variable.This is the code that I'm trying to use, but the bold text line always give me an error (constructor, syntax and others) depending how i write that line.[code]I'm not very experienced with AS3 so i don't know if this is the right approach to solve my problem. Any help is well received.

I am trying to build a simple preloader. I have 4 movieclips on stage and on each one I am adding an image that comes from an xml file:
theMap = new XML();
theMap.ignoreWhite = true;
theMap.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) {
theNodes = theMap.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code] .....
Everything works ok but as the jpgs are a bit heavy I'd like to preload them. Is that possible?
just wondering why this code returns: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.when relating to this:var cm:collectionsMenu = new collectionsMenu('cm');

Trying to add MC's to the stage from the library using their class name, but its not working out.

I'm having some issues trying to add a movieclip to the stage through actionscript. Moving from AS2 to AS3 and it's a little daunting to get this concept.
Here's the code i'm using to add the movieclip:
Code: Select allvar flowerfader_mc:Flower = flowerfader_mc();
addChild(flowerfader_mc);
Here's a grab of my movieclip properties:
I keep getting this error: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method flowerfader_mc.

I am adding a child to the stage in my first swf
Code:
addChild(new donkey());
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.load(new URLRequest("next.swf"));
addChild(l);
in my next.swf, I have a button which I want to remove the donkey with::
Code:
removeChild(donkey);
OK - doesnt work - it doesnt let me export the swf anyhow because the next.swf has no 'reference' to donkey existing at all. What's going on?
