ActionScript 3.0 :: Change Parent Of An Object?
Oct 20, 2009
I'm trying to do a cross-fade effect for my gallery. To do that, I'm using two movieclips, one that holds the image currently displayed, and another one that holds the image that should be displayed next. When the coming image is loaded, the cross-fade effect should happen, the container that holds the image that was on stage should be cleared out, then the image in the other container should be displaced to the former container. I'm almost there now, but I got stuck at the last part. Here's my code so far[code]...

got a bit of a tricky one here [well, it could be an easy one, but I have no idea where to start on this one]
Lets say I have two objects on a stage, one named mcA and mcB, within mcA I have another object [called subA] which contains a few small objects, a AS class and some other stuff like components etc...
Is there a way for me to replicate that exact object [subA] inside mcB without loosing any data and such? is this posible?
So basically I want to make a copyClip function, that has the ability to copy/move objects from one object/clip to another...

I've been trying to use the object.watch() method. I've never used this before, so I'm assuming I'm pretty far off base here. What I have is a parent movie (_root.) that has a bunch of variables. As the user progresses through the movie/project the variables change based on the user's actions. Within this parent movie there is another movie embedded. In this movie, things change based on the variable changes of the parent movie. So, for instance, say the user gets through frame #20 and hits the "next" button in the parent movie, this triggers a variable change in the parent movie, which then causes the embedded movie to change its color from blue to red (or whatever, action doesn't matter)

So basically I have a class which adds items and needs a drag and drop. I change the x value of the entire contianer class simply by this.x = something
By drag and drop all the items slide across the screen. When I trace the x value of the container class it has changed, but the x value of the items stayed the same (although their x value on the screen definitely changed).

I want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.

I want to detach a movieclip and attach it elsewhere, but it doesn't seem possible in AS2.
I'm looking for an AS2 equivalent of Cocoa's addSubview/removeFromSuperview.
Is there alternatives routes to go, such as duplicating a movie with a new parent.. is that possible?

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

In flash if I change scale of parent movieclip, scale of all child inside the parent was changed too. Now I look for the best way to fix child scale while parent scale is changing. I mean the way with minimum listener and cpu usage. In my project I have a map (as parent) and many icons on map (as childs). map has zoom in and zoom out button and pan while dragging.

If you put a button symbol into a movie clip. Then, place the movie clip onto the main time line. Add multiple scenes to the movie and multiple frames on the pain timeline. Go back to the button within the movie clip and program it

How can I change what movie clip an object is contained in after it has been added to the stage? I want a movie clip to start out in the main stage but them move into another movie clip so that when I move the containing movie clip the sub clip moves as well.

I have a custom component ExpandCollapseMenu that extends SkinnableContainer.This component can have state "normal" or "expanded".Inside this component I have buttons, with different skin based on ExpandCollapseMenu's state.This works fine when defining the buttons inside ExpandCollapsMenu's skin class:
<s:Group id="contentGroup" top="20" left="10" right="10" bottom="10">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>

I have code like the following:
<s:VGroup gap="10" id="group" height="100%">
<s:Label text="This is page 2" />
<s:Button content="Resize Canvas" click="resize(event);"/>
<mx:Canvas id="photoCanvas" color="#567898" backgroundColor="#125567">
</mx:Canvas>
</s:VGroup>
I don't understand why the following does not work:
Pushing the Button resizes the photoCanvas's height (gets taller or smaller). Since the photoCanvas control is a child element of the VGroup shouldn't the container update itself to the new height? The Vgroup has ALWAYS the same height, no matter what the (total) height of the children is! I would like the VGroup to adjust itself and get a height value equal to the sum of its children heights. Is this not possible??

I'm coming to Flash from a mixed graphic design / 3D animation / motion graphics background. In any of the animation programs I've used before, including After Effects, parenting is a simple operation. ...But it seems that in flash, it's more complex. So far, I am beginning to understand that it has to do with nested scenes, or nested time lines (which may be the same thing?)... So my question is... What is the easiest way to parent one object to another?

Like I have a parent with 5 children which are the same type of object, like the same class. Is there a function or property that tells me what index this particular child is in its parent? Like this child is the 3rd child in its parent.

I have a class attached to a movieclip in the library
That class is calling an instance of a new class
How do I reference an item in the movieclip(which is on stage) from the called instance?

Im using the following code to place an object inside a container:
testParent = new MovieClip();
testParent.graphics..beginFill(0x0000FF);
testParent.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 300, 300);
[Code].....
this gives the testParent object a margin of 50 from top and left. The testChild object should have have the same margin relative to stage. But doesnt.. The child object is at 0,0 relative to stage. Whats causing this?...

I'm creating a bunch of movieclips, associating a sound object with them, and then updating them with a progress bar, like so:
var theClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
theClip.track = new Sound;
[load sound from URL pseudocode here]
theClip.track.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
function onLoadProgress (erogressEvent):void {
How do I reference the movieClip the sound is a child of? e.target refers to the sound object; e.target.parent returns an error. And you can't assign properties to sound objects.

I've got an external class and make like 20 objects with it. If I e.g. hover my mouse above them, the objects themselves know that, the parent clip however does not. Now I want a global boolean to be set to true, if one of those objects is focused. So in other words I want to set a parent variable from inside of an object that I created with a class.
I could make myself an enter-frame-loop and check all of the objects all of the time, but that doesn't sound like a good solution.
I could also add 20 change-listeners to the parent clip, but I'm not sure about the performance of that. And I have listeners inside the objects anyway, so those should be somehow able to take care of that, or isn't that possible?

I'm trying to create a timer object within a movieclip, which, due to the dynamic nature of the movieclips, works well. However, when a timed function is kicked off I'm having trouble referencing the 'parent' movieclip.I'm trying the code below but the'Evt.currentTarget.parent' line throws an error. Anyone know how to make that reference work?
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.transitionTimer = new Timer(30, 0);
mc.transitionTimer.addEventListener("timer", stepTransition);
