OK this has been a process but i have gotten to the point where i am calling a feedback image for the different categories, I just need to clear the foodfeedback and artfeedback children when music is pressed and the same for the others

I've having a problem when I am removing a child. There is an area where you can choose a button to click(there are multiple buttons here). Once you click a button it loads workss_mc and you can go back from there and workss_mc is being removed then work_mc is being added again. The problem is once it is added again and you click on any of the other buttons the frame label from the previous session when it was clicked is still at that location.

I have a movieClip with one frame on the timeline containing one child whose instance name is "myContent"I am using this function to swap "myContent" with any number of possible class instances.
Code:
function setContentAsClass(c:Class)
{

I'm trying to clear the stage of all objects on there, so that I can show the next part of the game (albeit in a new frame, or by adding new MCs onto the stage).Basically, I have a loop checking to see whether or not the player has reached the end of the current level, as well as checking if the stage has been cleared yet:
Code:
else if((stop_all == true)&&(empty_stage == false)){
cleanup();

I have a mainSwf in which I load an external swf, which loads an external swf.( a child of a child). I am trying to set the framerate via AS3 for the childs child by using stage.frameRate= 15;
It doesnt work when the children are loaded into the mainSwf. how to access the stage of a child's child? I have tried root, Movieclip, this but can not get it to work
If im usin function to add a mc to the stage like so:var myChild:MC= new MC();
function somefunc()
{
stage.addChild(myMC)

i am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).
View 5 RepliesI have 10 thumbnails loaded using a for loop through XML. Each thumbnail is clickable and have an event listener attached. [code]...
My problem is that the images are stacking on top of each other, and never being removed.
Ideally I what to removeChild(); to the previous child added when the showPicture function runs. But I have no idea how to achieve this.
still cant get my head around this..iv created balls inside a function is there a way to reference them out side of the function? with addChild() do they get instance names?
ActionScript Code:
makeBalls();
function makeBalls() {
for (var i:int=0; i<10; i++) {[code]...........
if i add a movieclip into another as a child why doesn't it have the same instance name anymore, how do i reference it?
ActionScript Code:
tile3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onBegin);
function onBegin (e:Event = null):void
{
tile1.addChild(tile2)
}
i thought to get at tile 2 now i would use tile1.tile2 but that doesn't work.
how I can assign an instance name to my child.
View 6 RepliesI would like to know if there is a reason that, within an AS3 class, I would want to do something like this:
var myStageInstance:Stage;
//within an arbitrary class
var myStageInstance:Stage = stage;
myStageInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent, someFunction);
as opposed to something that I would normally do:
//within an arbitrary class
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent, someFunction);
There is no particular problem that I am looking to solve right now. I would just like to know if there is a reason to use one method over the other.
The code I am having trouble with is al the way at the bottom (Actions layer on the stage). Below the multi-line comment.Basically, I have a rotating image bar. One the first level of my file, on the stage, is a container movie clip called "imageScroll". The code that allows the images to rotate is applied to the container clip. Inside of "imageScroll", are a series of 36 images, each with their own unique instance name.On the main level, I have a block of code which first detects when the user mouses over imageScroll. Next my code attempts to dig down one level into imageScroll and find the instance name of the image the users mouse is hovering over.
I want to then store that instance name in a string "_destination", then take that string and store it in a MovieClip variable "currentClip". By doing this, I can then use the variable currentClip to effect the code at the bottom, which causes the images to scale up when the user mouses over, and scale back when the user mouses out.The way I currently have my file set up, the code always returns the instance name imageScroll. I am using event.currentTarget.name to try and pull the instance name of the image. I have tried using event.target.name, but that pulls the instance name of a movie clip two levels lower then I want to go.I basically need a way to modify my code so it finds out which movie clip inside of the container imageScroll the user is mousing over.For those who would prefer to have all the code here, see below:

The name of my DocumentClass is Main. So, what's the difference between :
var myClass:Main = new Main();
var mcInLibrary:MovieClip ;
/////////////////////////////////////////[code]............
If an object, or say... a document class, creates an instance of a class (and stores it as a variable), and it doesn't pass any arguments to the constructor of the class, can that class object, by simply having a function of it called by the parent, tell who sent it that command/request?In other words, can a class object know who called it (such as it's parent) via a (seemingly) anonymous call?

On my timeline i would like to acces the x position of the object tempObject
I make a movie clip in the library ( a button with a text field on it ) and export it for actionscript. Then I create an instance of the object using code ( myButton = new Button1(); ).And then I want to access and change the text field ( whose instance name is "myField" in Flash ) afterwards.Is that possible, or I have to create a custom class for the object, or just create an entire button dynamically?
Because what I have tried until now doesn't work.
Code:
var button1:button_test1 = new button_test1();
button1.x = stage.width / 2;
button1.y = stage.width / 2;

This questions is for all movie clips: is there a way to access a movie clip's objects with actionscript after you have created (with code) an instance of that object (which was designed in flash, and exported for AS) ?
one of my problem is that how do i call the instance name of a button from my child.swf to my parent.swf
i have four buttons from my child.swf where when i click btn1 it will load superchild.swf but i want to load that superchild.swf to my parent.swf, like instead btn1 calls superchild.swf to load, btn1 will call parent.swf then on parent.swf it will distinguish that btn1 was click from child.swf and it will now load superchild.swf.

I am getting a stack overflow error when attempting what I believe is a very simple task. I have a class that extends MovieClip and I attempt to add an instance to the stage. WorkSamples is the main class in my fla.

The Sample object does get added to the stage, although it doesn't honor the x & y position I specify. I'm sure I'm failing to comprehend something simple,
I do a add child on my stage with this code:
var servicosMc:buscaServicos = new buscaServicos();
this.addChild(servicosMc);
servicosMc.name = "servicosMc1";[code]...........
Yeah this work but my application start with 24 mb of ram consumed. After I have clicked 3 times on this button and did this code above the application use 60 mb on the memory and the application do the same for the others button.
I have one MC on stage with instance name "box". That MC duplicates by using this script:
Code:
duplicateMovieClip (box, newname="box2", this.getNextHighestDepth());
box2._x = xPoz;
box2._y = yPoz;
So the new MC is now called "box2".
Inside original MC "box", I have one button. After click on that button, I need to know on which MC I clicked. box, or box2. I tried to use:
Code:
trace (this._name);
But, that get me only instance name of the button.
I was just doing a menu system for a game project, as3 with Flash CS5. The navigation is build on the frame on the main timeline. When I was creating stuffs on the 3rd frame, the btns on the frame can not be called, returning "null", this is weird. With further study, I found that, if I delete a instance on frame 2, the problem on frame 3 will be solved. Then I found that giving the instance on frame 2 a name could also make things normal. What is happening? Why having a unnamed instanced on the previous frame could make the instances on the next frame "null"?
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5. I have some instances on my stage declared in the main class and I want to attach some events to them, however at the time of the main class constructor, these are declared as null.
What's the best practice for accessing stage instances? Is there an event listener I could add that will tell me when the stage instance properties have been populated?
Simple example:
public class bleepBloop extends MovieClip {
public var productName:TLFTextField;
public function bleepBloop() {
trace( productName ); // Here it is null
}
}
However, when I access productName later, it's defined.
I created four instance of movieclip on stage and named them t1_mc,t2_mc,t3_mc,t4_mc. Then I made and array and loaded them inside the array
var arr1:Array = new Array( t1_mc, t2_mc, t3_mc, t4_mc );
var names:String;
//function made to add event listener to each object
function addListner():void {
for ( var i:uint = 0; i < arr1.length; i++ )

How can I refer to an instance on the stage if:
- I added it to the stage using the GUI
- I wrote its implementation in an external AS file
I can't assign it a instance name otherwise I get this error: Code: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property myInstance on MyClassName.

My scroll bar appears but when I trace stage into my ScrollBarClass this one is null trace(stage)
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.
