ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Moveclip To The Screen That Uses .as Code
Jun 27, 2011
I am having trouble accessing this movieclip and adding it to the stage.I have just started using external .as files to code game characters and this is the only part that gets me at the moment.The character works completely fine if they are already on the stage when the frame loads, but I cannot figure out how to access this movieclip and place it on the stage from the MAIN timeline, where I plan on running the main game code.I have tried tons of variations, is there anyone that can please tell me the proper way to do this with this linkage?

I am making a small flash game where my character releases a balloon into the air. I can get everything to work but when the character produces a balloon it will not float towards the sky. The code is below:
Code:
stop();
var tobpos:int;
tobpos = toby.x
[code]...
I've tried doing a loop but it gives me an error telling me that the script has run for too long.

I'm working on a project where I keep adding children to a MC already on the screen. There are two types of these children: Sprites that I use to draw lines using moveTo, lineTo, ect. Then there's sprites that have children inside of THEM that are bitmaps.
For some strange reason, the Sprites with the bitmaps on them always have a higher depth/index (AS3 terminology is still weird for me) than the normal Sprites.
Here's a diagram of my MC/children/children layers:
---------------=> (Sprites that draw lines)
(MC on Stage) =>
---------------=> (Sprites that hold bitmaps) => (Bitmap)

I'm trying to add a class to the screen so the stuff I have in the class can be seen. I'm using a class called "Upgrades" to add the other class "BuyStuffContent" to the screen through [code]This is a game and I'm using Model,View, Controller if that helps. Anything added to _gameModel. screen goes on the screen. I tried this in another section of the game and it worked fine.[code]

I have an issue with Bitmap object. I have a photo gallery which I read from an XML file. Each photo has a path, id and description. When I'm adding the picture to the screen I am doing as follows:
[Code]...
My problem is that when I click the bitmap added to the container I must know what picture this is by getting an id. This way I know what gallery I am to open. A bitmap object does not have this property to be set (id and path). I have decided to create a class which extends Bitmap and then add these attributes within this class. So instead of using a bitmap I would use something like:

so i am having trouble with adding a box randomly on the screen. I have done this before and it seems like it should have a relatively easy solution. But alas, i have not been able to figure this out. This is the info: I have a box mc with exporting as Box. I have a Box Actionscript file with this code in it:

Nothing happens at all but there is no errors. Also i would like to keep everything in the classes.

On my previous post Adding a object randomly on the screen in as3 I explained the specifics of my situation. But I will go over it again. I have a box with a class(not my document class. I do have one called Main but this one is just an AS class referencing my box.) The classes name is Box and my MC box is exported as Box. This is the codethis is in my main file on the main timline
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, createbox);
var _box:Box = new Box;
var boxlimit:int = 2;

I'm trying to add code to some videos that I have already exported out as FLV for tracking purposes. How does one go about this the correct way? I have the code snippet already, just don't know if I open the FLV in flash and add the code to the first frame, then re-export it or is there another way of doing it?

Say I have a flash movie in an HTML page, I want to get the value of a tag in the HTML page (for example, google-site-verification content value). How could this be done?
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="12345678978564261321567498789" />
*UPDATE - I want to embed a flash template into an html web page, in this web page will be a meta tag with a UID. The UID will be referenced in an XML schema, which Flash loads the specifics of the UID to flash file. The web page name can be anything (index.html, index.php, contact.asp, etc).

When I run my very simple script
Code:
var myTextfield:TextField = new TextField ;
myTextfield.width = 300;
myTextfield.height = 100;
addChild(myTextfield);
[Code] .....
It does neatly output the desired text to the screen - BUT it also shows part of my code in the movie, in a way that's just not possible. Here's a screenshot, I know it looks like I manipulated it in PhotoShop or something, but I didn't. The text gets vague after a few lines; that's exactly how it looks on my screen. I've run it several times, and it always looks like this.

I am attempting to add a child to the stage with the following code:
Actionscript Code:
//Buttons: Adds movie clip to stage.readtomeShortA1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playShortAReadMe1);function playShortAReadMe1(e:TimerEvent):void{ var playShortA1:ShortAReadMe1 = new ShortAReadMe1 addChild(playShortA1); playShortA1.x = 307; playShortA1.y = 603;}
When I test the movie the following message appears,
"TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed:cannot convert flash.events::MouseEvent@212a161 to flash.events.TimerEvent," when I click the button ("readtomeShortA1"). Note the instance I am referring to is a button. When the swf is created there are compile errors that appear. The "TypeError....." only happens when I click on the button ("readtomeShortA1").
FYI, there is other code on the page which is below the code in question:
Actionscript Code:
//Button CodebackTo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backToShortA);function backToShortA(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay(1); SoundMixer.stopAll();}ForwardTo2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toPage2);function toPage2(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay("page_2"); SoundMixer.stopAll();}

I have a third party slideshow instance (SlideShowPro (SSP)) and have used the following code to allow SSP to resize to screen:
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.BlockProgression;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
[Code]....
It all works fine. However, I am trying to put in links on the stage outside of SSP (i.e., Home, Gallery, About, etc.) as shown in this example website [URL]. When I do, the stage is truncated and part of SSP is skewed off the page.
How do I make sure that my stage containing text and SSP is captured as the SWF?

I've been adding some components to a Flex 4 app (it was originally Flex 3 but has been ported). Some of these components make the app go blank when it loads. I'm not even able to see the loading progress bar. Just white.
For example, adding
<s:controlBarContent>
<s:Button label="Admin" />
</s:controlBarContent>
To the root tag causes this. I also was able to make it happen when I tried setting a custom components skin from my style sheet instead of from the skinClass property.

I have an older program that I need to update. In it I there is a movieclip that displays text. Embedded in that movieclip is a timer that makes the text disappear after a few seconds. Everything worked fine before when I was using flash to put the clips on the stage. Now I need export the symbols and use addChild to display them. My problem is that the timer is starting when I assign the clip to the variable (frame 1), not when I need it to; which is after I add the child (frame 70-ish). If I were starting over there is probably a million simple solutions to this, but I am trying to not rework everything I already made to fix this seemlingly small problem.

I'm new to as3 and programming and I'm trying to add a bitmap to a movie clip in codeHowever, I'm having trouble getting the bitmap location to go where I want it because it's inside the movieclip and it just shows up at 0,0 of the movieclip instead of the coordinates I want it to be: Here's some of code so you can see what I mean:
imageBitmapData3 = new Lander(63, 53);
_player = new Bitmap(imageBitmapData3);

I want to use my own .swf button for PayPal payments with a "hidden format", but when adding the generated PayPal Website code to my html page, only a red X and the alt PayPal text is showing where the button should be. I have changed all Active X controls to Enable.Every time I contact PayPal I get a different reply. The last one was that I have to add a "static" image, but I really want to use my own button.I would rather find a way to paste the PayPal code into my buttons action script and then I only have to paste the Flash button to the html, but don't know how to manipulate that because the only code generated by PayPal is a "form" in html format. I am also adding text fields and guess that's why I don't get an generated email code from PayPal which I get if I don't add text fields.

I want to make a movieclip invisible initially but i dont want to set it manually within the properties in flash because i cant then see it on the scene.i could add some code like so:
MC Frame one.
this.onClipEvent(load)
{
this._alpha = 0;
}
but I cannot. How can i set the MC _alpha to 0 for all instances without adding it manually to each instance or setting it in the properties?
edit: or creating a class for it just to set the alpha.

I have a flash project that requires a swf file with over 300 textfields i.e a datasheet like in excel.i use actionscript 3 to dynamically add them at runtime.However I have a function calculate() that references them at compile time.So i think the problem is the caluclate() cannot find the textfields because they are still not added to the stage.How can i create them dynamically and after that add a function caluclate that will surely find the textfields?
Here is a code example of my work:
//add 50 textInput components
for (var intr:Number=1; intr<=50; intr++) {
var intTextField:TextInput=new TextInput();

need a variable, need to add numbers to the variable when conditions are met, need to display the variable.The display part is giving me fits and to put it simply, every tutorial I've looked at is mega lame.1. How do you create a dynamic textbox/field/whatever ENTIRELY out of code. Now I could just click, drag and make one, but then it would be stuck on the screen all the time, no good for startup menu, etc.
2. How do I update the Dynamic text box, now I could use an eventListener ENTER_FRAME, but that seems a tad intensive, their must be a way to only update when new value is passed to it?I've got this code that creates a whole bunch of moving objects in the background, when the level ends I want to remove them all. HOW do I remove this heaping load of objects?
Code:
public function columnMaker(){
for(var i=0; i<550; i+=35){
var testObject:Circler = new Circler();

I have a chunk of Code which Flash confirms is without errors, but when I either compile the program or click the AutoFormat Button, Flash puts a curly bracket at the end of it and then has the audacity to complain that there are "extra Characters found at the end of the programm."I have to have this running to go online on Sunday the very latest.[code]

for first time decided to start using Classes to add my code instead of adding it directly in Flash and I really thought I knew how to handle this since I have created some re-usable classes before where you target an object by passing parameter etc,I thought that if I had one function (method) in my class and I wanted to call it from my .fla file all I needed to do was to create an instance of the class and then call my method.[code]But this doesn't work I get a message that says that it is missing arguments.how to use my code directly on a class and what are the differences of doing this versus putting the code directly on my .fla file and if it's even a good practice to do this?

I would imagine it's a simple enough bit of additional code, but I'm no programmer, and trawling the Web has proved fruitless to date...ithin Flash CS5 and using AS 3, I'm attempting to create a series of drag-and-drop interactions for a learning exercise where items must be dragged into the correct box with positive and negative feedback being generated as a result of where the learner drops the item. All I need is the code to link the drag and drop code snippet (which I have working) to a specific object/location on the stage (which I cannot find nor figure out for the life of me)
