I'm working on building a gallery, but I've run into a slight snag. The full-size images are not all the same size. In the showPicture function, is there a way for it to check to make sure there isn't an image already loaded, and if there is, to remove it before adding the new one? [code]...
View 9 RepliesIs it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.

is there a way to check an array to see if an element has already been added? I'm working with an XML document where there are 4 possible variables, but these 4 vars are repeated several times over. It's reading in fine... I just want to pull those specific variables out of the XML and add them to an array, but I do not want them to duplicate. To say it another way... I don't want my array to be more than 4 items long (it is possible to be less) with a max of those 4 different vars.

I 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]...
View 3 RepliesSo when you win my game I add a movieclip that will let you enter your name through a text input component. Unfortunately, I'm calling it wrong.
I'm getting an undefined property error because it's out of the youWon function, right? You'd think I'd understand this concept eventually!

public 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?
I 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:

View 5 RepliesI 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?

View 1 RepliesI 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.*;

I 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?
