ActionScript 3.0 :: Display Sprite List Onscreen?
Mar 8, 2011
I have what is undoubtedly a simple issue that I cannot seems to surpass. It may well simply be an order of operations type of problem, but as I'm not sure where the problem is, I don't know where to start! I'm essentially just having trouble getting anything to display on stage.verything is seemingly linked into the stage's display list correctly ~ The hierarchy goes as such:[MAIN object Sprite] loads and addChild's an object...-- [SECTION object Sprite] which loads/adds other child objects..---- [SCENE object Sprite] Which should loads/adds...------ [FX object Sprite] which holds actual visual data(shapes------ [FX object Sprite] which holds actual visual data (shapes)---- [FLOW object Sprite] Which holds no real visual datavia functions such as getSections, getScenes, getFX, etc, as are applicable. The issue is that although each object in the hierarchy is listed as a child of its appropriate parent, nothing displays.

Say i have these two classes:
MAIN.as
package
{
import flash.display.*; import mx.core.*;
import flash.events.*; import mx.collections.*;
[Code]...
Now how is it that I can add the variable SPRITE which is a Sprite in the OBJECT_square class to the display list of MAIN class? I've tried addChild(SPRITE) and super.addChild(SPRITE). If everything works I should see a red square somewhere on the screen but right now its all blank, except for the text drawn in the MAIN class.
Basically I want it so i can just make a new OBJECT_square and it will draw itself without any more instructions from the MAIN class.

I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.
Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......
My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]
Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A
Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).

It's my understanding that a display object cannot be in the display list more that once.So if I add something to the stage shouldn't a second addition of the same object replace the first? for instance:
[code]...
there should now only be one "myDisplayObject" on the stage.

I wanted a sprite to move round on the screen when a play button was pushed. I have a left and a right button which store strings "left" or "right" into the next positions of an empty array called history.
When i push the play button i want i want the sprite to move either left or right according to what commands are in the array. My code just seems to play one single command and then stops when i hit play again it just repeats the same command.
Is there any way to make it play through all commands in the array one after another?
Here's the loop that i was trying to use.

In AS3 I turn a sprite(spButton) visible property to false initially.AT some point I turn on the image property so it is visible but nothing is displayed when i do?It works fine if I dont make the image invisible on load.
private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void { var image:Bitmap = new Bitmap(event.target.content.bitmapData); spButton.addChild(image); spButton.x = 240; spButton.y = 350; IntroCanvas.addChild(spButton); spButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK

By default, the iconFunction of List and Tree return only Class as the icon, which is for embeded images or iconUtility kindly provided by this site http:[url]...... It works very well with pre-created images.But what I really want is to accept a completely runtime generate sprite object, similar to what is done by Legend, with the color changes according to what the current status. I assume I could do something to make the ListBase to accept icon argument other than Class.

I'm sure you're expecting me to have forgotten to use addChild. I wish it was that easy. I will say I'm very new to AS3.0. I have a movie clip in my library that contains a small PNG file and a text label. The linkage properties are: Class: shapes.HorizontalIcon, Base class: flash.display.Sprite.[code]As far as I can tell this should work. There are no errors. The trace statement above shows up in the output. The parent sprite is also an item from the library. It shows up on the stage. I tried adding a random TextField to the parent sprite it showed up on the stage just fine.Something isn't working right, but I don't know where to start debugging this.

I am using a third party flash as3 code to load graphics using sprite. There is a class (load) that takes care of the loading of the graphics.In a new class(getname), I want to be able to1. Load the graphics (done)2. On mouseover change the color of graphics(done)3. Display name of rolled over graphic (not working). I have tried the following in
getname:var feature : load;feature.name;
I get a null object error. Now I have used the mousevent routine(e.target.name) and can display the instance #(instance149). But what I really want is the name of the graphics that the load function loads (graphics and the dbf with all the attributes including the name).

I want to override the dispatchEvent method while inheriting from flash.display.Sprite. Whenever an event gets dispatched now like ADDED_TO_STAGE and CLICK it will get through dispatchEvent in my theory. However there is no single trace he'll get through dispatchEvent.. so the events get dispatched internally from some where else?

I have an application that is built in flash. I am using Flash CS3. The application was built using AS2, and it is being designed for touch screens so there will be no keyboard or mouse. Certain parts of the application have text fields, so to enter text there is an on screen keyboard that pops up. The keyboard works great, but it does not have a tab key. Here is the code for some of the other special keys:
spacekey.onRelease = spacekey.onRollOut = spacekey.onDragOut = function ()
{
keyStroke(" ");

I'm trying to make an onscreen keyboard for one of the programs I wrote. With this flash program you can type Persian in any program. It uses a special kind of font. So I first mapped all the characters like:
//space
case String.fromCharCode(0x0023):
return String.fromCharCode(0x0023);
break;
[Code] .....
Now this program works perfectly when somebody actually uses the keyboard. Now I added an on screen keyboard. (buttons for each alphabet) but I don't seem to be able to somehow tell flash to type alphabet "be" for example and keep the conditions too! The text field is called "textF".

I want to create a basic drawing utility as a part of my project. Since the drawing needs to be saved I wanted to convert it to a bitmap. I searched for help on google and found this example.
However since the rest of my program is programmed in AS2, I'm getting errors these errors:

The class or interface 'flash.display.Sprite' could not be loaded. // source: var canvas:Sprite = new Image();
The class or interface 'flash.utils.ByteArray' could not be loaded. // source: var bytes:ByteArray;

my designer made a fla file where he has animated layers loads of them. All the images inside those animations are loaded from outside the swf.
Now, the issue is at one point in time I want some of the objects to go under another object ( current their on top) . If I do this visually the images inside the swf(loaded) are lost.

I have a very complicated interface going on in my flash application, with tons of dependencies/variable checking/etc and it would make my life one heck of a lot easier if it was possible to simply "press" or activate an onscreen button via actionscript. I have never seen this referenced, and don't know if it's possible. Search didn't find me anything. Can you do this in some way? "Virtually" activate a button (and thereby all the button's scripting...)

Relative newbie with AS3 but I need to make an onscreen keyboard for a touchscreen. Through some searching and coding I have a keyboard object that can send events based on clicks but I'm not sure how to go that "last mile" to trigger an actual keyboard event so the selected TextField gets updated.
