ActionScript 3.0 :: Delay Adding Child (Movie Clip) To Stage?
Dec 15, 2011
I am attempting to add a movie clip to the stage when a button is triggered. When the user clicks the button the movie clip is added to the stage; it works fine, but the following problems occur:
1) The appearance of the movie clip is delayed.
2) The sound in the movie clip starts to play but the movie clip appears when the sound is finished.
Additional information: 1) The movie clip has the sound in the timeline.Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
//Buttons: Adds movie clip to stage.readtomeShortA1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playShortAReadMe1);var playShortA1:ShortAReadMe1function..[code].....
2) However, I also want to know is keeping the sound in the timeline of the movieclip the most efficient way to use sound in the movieclip? Or is there better, more efficient way to do it?

I am transitioning into AS3 and I'm working a block that I can't quite figure out. I need to add a child (external image) to a movie clip and resize it. This is what I have thus far and it loads the image just fine:
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(myOBJ.image));
productImage_mc.addChild(imageLoader);

I am trying to add x amount of movieclips to the stage with their own unique _x value. Also with each movie clip added i need to add an array with a smiler name. I tried this code.
Actionscript Code:
enemycount = 46;for (i=1; i<enemycount+1; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[0]; this.attachMovie("BrownFox", ["enemy"+i], 101, {_x:100, _y:219});}for (i=enemycount; i<51; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[1];}trace (this.enemy1._x);trace (this.currentenemy45);
under the attachmovie I have ["enemy"+1] but when i trace enemy1 it returns undefined. But when I put ["enemy"+1] it returns the _x value. also if I put _x: i * 5, I only see one movie clip so I have a feeling they all have the same _x and_y value. basically I wanna be able to add 2 enemys to the stage with out over lapping, and the option to add 50 with out too much over lapping (would like to avoid overlapping by also giving various y depths, between 200 and 250)

I'm getting no errors on this, Go (comeback) is my movie clip which should turn up when the mouse leaves the stage area and leave when the mouse enters the stage. I know it's probably my removeChild command but I don't know how to fix it.

i know this may seem kind of dumb, but how does one access the document class from a child movie clip on the stage?
i have a property in my class. Just a string for testing:
Code:
public var s:String = 'can you see me';
it traces on the root time line, but it errors out if tracing it from a movieclip on the root time line.

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).

I am adding a child to the stage in my first swf
Code:
addChild(new donkey());
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.load(new URLRequest("next.swf"));
addChild(l);
in my next.swf, I have a button which I want to remove the donkey with::
Code:
removeChild(donkey);
OK - doesnt work - it doesnt let me export the swf anyhow because the next.swf has no 'reference' to donkey existing at all. What's going on?

I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?

I am trying to make a "Achtung! die kurve" - like game in Actionscript 3.0. So far I've done the movement of one of the 'worms', and it works alright. I wanna divide it into different class files, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have a .fla file and 4 .as files. So far I only have code in two of these. When I put all my code directly into the fla file, it works perfectly fine, but when I put it into my player class, it won't 'add the child' to the stage. Here is my player .as file: [URL].
The reason why I commented the addChild, is because I wanna do this in my mainFile.as. This is from the main file: [URL]. I'm not quite sure how to call it in the main file, so I'm guessing that this would be the issue. All the files are named and placed correctly in the same folder, and flash says that each of my .as files are targeting the .fla file, so this doesn't seem to be the issue. How I can change the speed of my sprite.

There we go. What i want to do is, I want to create an instance of the Player class, which then creates an instance of the Actor class, which in the _draw() function should add an image to the stage, but I can't figure out how to do that. I want this image to be an instance in the Player's Actor instance, so i later can move it around, the same goes for the user name text. how do i add an image and a user name text field to the stage at player.__x and player.__y?

I've got a little animation that I'm going to embed in my website. I'd like it to start playing, say, 10 seconds after the page is loaded.
Is there an Actionscript command that effectively says "start play after 10 seconds"?
Or do I need to just add a bunch of blank frames within the animation to effectively start roughly 10 seconds in?

I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

I have several objects on the stage and a MouseOver on any of these will add a menu popup child and tween it from off the stage. A MouseOut will tween the menu away and remove the menu with removeChild. Heres the bug: If I mouse out and then quickly mouse over the same object while the menu is tweening away before it has been removed, it doesn't add the menu again, and then on the next mouse out, it tries to remove the child menu, which isn't currently a child because it was just removed, and
I get the error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at menucaller/tweenOffTimerEnd()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
Is there a way I can use an if statement to make sure that the menu is a child of the parent before removing it?

Is it possible to load a movie clip with no delay? I have a flash project that loads multiple external swf's locally. This are actually different movie segments, like a clip for standing animation, fighting animation, defend animation, etc.. My problem is that, if i load another clip, let's say the fighting animation, it should be loaded instantly, i mean with no delay, as if it's part of the previous clip, because what happens is that when i load a specific clip there's a short delay of half-seconds before the clip loads. This is normal but is there any way on how can i load another clip as if it is part of the previous one?

Just finished building my photography portfolio www.tonerayphotography.co.uk in Flash CS3 using some Action script 2. When I first uploaded the site in Firefox 3.5 the menu buttons were `stuck` and there was a delay of about 30 secs before I could use them. Once I finally got use of the menu buttons I later returned to the site and it worked perfectly. Is this because the site was now in the cache of Firefox?
On my stage timeline there is one navigation movie clip holding aboutl 50 of my photos. Is this delay due the size of this movie clip trying to load?

in my main timeline i have no movie clips. I have a jpeg called background that basically has all the moviestuff. however when i publish the file on the web i get a delay between the music and the movie. like almost 30 seconds. Im not quite sure how to fix this. I have a swf file that loads my main swf file. SWF file that loads the main swf is only a preloader. here is the code for my music... i think that my problem is that the preloader is accounting for the movie clip but not the music, hence the difference in timing.
Code:
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Matrix.mp3");
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var soundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();[ code]..........

I have found some code on the web that loads a picture from a folder into a movie clip, and cyle with fadeOut and fadeIn to the next picture by using left and right arrow. I have made some changes to this code by having the pictures cycle with a timer and I also added a group of 6 movie clips for a total of 7 with their own set of picture arrays. So far so good however I am trying to get the fadeOut and FadeIn with a small delay from each other but always in the same order. In other words I want to have clips 1 to 7 fadeOut with a small delay of maybe .5 sec. between each and same thing when the next picture fades in.

I have a movie clip on stage with several other movie clips inside of it. How do I refer to each child so I might do stuff to it? I have done it once before by name, but I'd rather not rely on names:
private function setUpHotSpots():void {
// loop through all the hot spots, hide them, and assign event handlers
var i:int;
var numberOfHotSpots:int = hotSpots_mc.numChildren;
