ActionScript 3.0 :: Event On Item Being Added As A Child?
Feb 9, 2011I have created a button class which has graphical elements. In future I might want to add this as a child to other things so what I would like to know is, firstly, can I get the details of the parent object from the child and, probably more importantly, is there an event that tells me when my button has been added as a child so that I can resize it?

which doesn't work. I also tried ADDED_TO_STAGE but that doesn't fire it either. Do you know the correct way to detect when the child is added? Perhaps I should be attaching the listener to the parent instead?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse-over And Mouse-out Event Not Recognised / When Added As A Child?
Aug 11, 2010Basically I am dynamically calling product buttons, which on rollover invoke a child of a dropdown, which in turn invokes children which are squares filled with colour.What I need is for these squares to be clickable which will then colour something else using the colourMatrixFilter (I'll probably start another post for this problem at a later date).For some reason though adding the Square as a child to it's rightful parent - the dropdown makes the listeners completely useless. Add to the stage and the listeners work. I can't work out why either and have done loads of searching.[code] also if someone could show me in the right direction of pulling the XMLdata for the squares (which will be a name attribute).

Sep 3, 2009Can event listeners only be added to the class which dispatched the event? I ask because I want to have the logic for the listener on the main class, and the action is dispatched on click from a thumb which is instantiated in a scroller class. Kinda like this:
ActionScript Code:
pseudo code:
class main {
main() {

This doesn't work. Why can't the main class listen for an event on the thumb class?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Added To_stage And Event.removed_from_stage.?
Jan 10, 2011I have created a flash file with animations, buttons and videos which will be uploaded to Zmags - (Digital publishing platform for flat pdfs) Everything is correctly set up on my flash file, and the .swf files work fine independently. Once uploaded to Zmags, when turning to a new page within the interactive pdf, the animations plays a small clip before the page is fully loaded. Once the page is fully loaded, the animations and buttons etc work as they should. I do not want this short clip of animation to run when the page loads.
Now I have been told that the solution will lie with: Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE and Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE.
I am informed that these event listeners will ensure the page is fully loaded before the animation plays.how to add these into my ActionScript,.I have the actions on the first frame of the timeline and have used frames to create a contents page, so when your mouse hovers over the pages numbers (buttons), different animations happen (which are contained in the frames) I have no clue what to do next to add Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE and Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE.
ActionScript Code:
one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onebutton);
function onebutton(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]...............
ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Child To An Added One?
Jul 21, 2011I am making a simple xml gallery that loads in images into a movie clip that looks like a Polaroid. So, the idea is that flash will see how many image need to me imported. Then in the for loop it will add child the Polaroid mc (which has been exported for actionscript and the class named "Polaroid"). The inside that Polaroid mc there is an empty mc called "polimageHolder_mc" that I want to load the xml loaded image into. I keep getting this error "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties", when I use the code below. It makes sense to me but my syntax is obviously incorrect. [code]...

Actionscript 3 :: Child Added, But Not Displaying?
Feb 28, 2012public class ItemView extends MovieClip {
private var _title:TextField;
private var _extra:MovieClip;
[Code]....
When I create an instance of ItemView and add it to the stage, "Title" displays but the blue square does not. However, if I make the graphics calls on this instead of _extra, I do see the blue square. This tells me that _extra itself is not displaying properly, but I can't figure out why. Is there some special procedure for adding one MovieClip to another?
ActionScript 3.0 :: RemovingChild IF Child Has Been Added
Feb 22, 2009I have 4 functions called by their own buttons. Each function calls a movie clip from the library with addChild. When I click on one of these 4 functions I want it to remove the added children if any of the other functions had been clicked prior. Problem is, removeChild at the start of each function results in errors if a child had never been called yet. It's trying to remove something that isn't there. - So I tried making a 'flag:number = 0' for each of the 4 functions. Each function begins with settings its flag to '1' I put a for loop at the beginning of each function saying IF any of the flags are = to 1, then remove the children. I don't see why that should not work, I think the error lies in my array or my for loop if statement as I still don't fully understand them. So I will just post the code relating to the array and loop:

Professional :: Call A Page From An Added One?
Oct 22, 2010I'm creating a website, on the stage I've got a menu and a movieclip which I use to show my pages, the movieclip's name is pagecontainer_mc.Each page is an exported class for AS3.When I click on a button on the menu, with removeChildAt() and addChild() I remove the current page and show the requested one.Everything ok with this.The problem comes when I need to call a page not from the menu, but from a button inside another page.I've tried writing this code on the main timeline:
var contacts:contatti = new contatti;
pagecontainer_mc.contacts_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showCo ntacts);
function showContacts(e:MouseEvent):void { pagecontainer_mc.removeChildAt(1); pagecontainer_mc.addChild(contacts); }

If I put the code inside the page's timeline I can't access to pagecontainer_mc (or at least I'm not able to do that).

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Reference MovieClip After It Is Added To Stage As A Child
Nov 22, 2011I am currently having problems referencing a MovieClip child which I add to the Stage from the Document Class. Basically when the MovieClip child is added to the Stage from the Document Class, I want a certain MovieClip already on the Stage to reference it once it is on the Stage.
Also, if it is possible, I don't want the MovieClip referencing the child being added to the Stage to have parameters linking it with the Document Class, because I plan on nesting this MovieClip within another MovieClip later on in the future.
Here is the code for the MovieClip class which is referencing the child once it is added to the Stage:

{
import com.gameEngine.documentClass.*;

Actionscript 3 :: Can't Access Properties Or Methods Of MC Child That Has Been Added In Script
Apr 24, 2010I have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Call The Slide Show Swf That Must Be Added ABOVE The Main Swf In The Display
Feb 21, 2011The site operates around a swf named main.swf. All the different content areas are external swfs called by a navbar in main.swf. One of the primary content areas is a gallery of our work, with five separate types; branding, package design, collateral, Internet, and Digital. The left hand swf for the Gallery section contains five movie clips that let you select the specific gallery area that displays on the right hand side. Included in the right hand area are thumbnails (movie clips) that when clicked she wants a Greybox-like slide show to appear over the entire area (1100x x 690), INCLUDING the main.swf. As I currently envision it, this is an 1100 x 690 XML-driven portfolio swf, with the alpha of the overall stage box at about 30%, and the actual gallery centered.
If I haven't lost you, my challenge is to call the slide show swf from a click event in the thumbnail on the right hand side. If I understand the Display Object Model this swf is about three levels removed from the stage.
How do I call the slide show swf that must be added ABOVE the main swf in the Display List from a click on the right hand area thumbnail?
I'm gaining a better understanding of classes, and am using them to hold all the AS for the external swfs. Basically I need to be able to talk to the main swf from the brandRight.swf which is the right hand swf containing the thumbnails.
