ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Stackable MovieClips - Parent / Child Relationship?

I am creating a pile of stackable movieclips. The dragging function is not a prob but I have a problem with the parent/child relationship in the "bringtotop" function.

Code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Colorbox extends MovieClip {

The error generated is :

Flex :: Null Cast Between Parent And Child Objects?

Mar 1, 2011

I have a flex application with two objects: a parent widget (called an IBaseWidget) and a child widget (called a HelperWidget2).When the user clicks on a help link, a helper widget is loaded into the list of base widgets and then displayed for the user.However, when I try to access this child widget by casting the base widget in the collection to the child widget type,the child widget returns null and I am unable to work with the widget.The following snippet correctly returns the widget ID of the newly added widget and dispatches an event to load the widget:

var id:Number = WidgetManager.getInstance().getWidgetId("Helper");
ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_RUN, id, openQuickQueryCanvas));[code].........

The problem is that helperWidget above always returns null, meaning the cast isn't successful.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.removeChild(child) Doesn't Update Parent Width / Height When Child Was Rotated

Jul 29, 2011

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.removeChild(child) Doesn't Update Parent Width/height When Child Was Rotated

Jul 29, 2011

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.

When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:

Code:
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 250.
SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.
When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC

Feb 5, 2010

[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]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Unable To Reference Child Display Objects Of Clip Imported From Library?

Jun 17, 2009

PBar contains two SimpleButtons (pBarProgress and pBarLoaded) and a MovieClip (pBarBg).I import pBar from the library like this:private var pBar:PBar = new PBar();and add it to a container MC on the stage like this:containerMC.addChild(pBar);Up to this point, everything works great. I can see pBar and its children on the stage when I run my movie. But then I want to start referencing and manipulating pBar's child objects, but nothing I do works. Ive tried ...pBar.pBarProgress.scaleX = 0;var pBarProgress:SimpleButton = Bar.getChildByName("pBarProgress") as SimpleButton; pBarProgress.scaleX

Flash :: Relationship Of Code On First Frame Of Main Time Line To Class Code And Library Objects?

Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Clip To The Stage As A Child And Remove The Parent And Set The Parent Equal To Null?

Sep 11, 2010

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child? 

In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.

If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tab Indexing Loop Through Parent, External Child Swf, Back To Parent?

Nov 11, 2009

I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.

I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

ActionScript 3.0 :: DropTarget Parent Child - Removechild Won't Remove A Child

Aug 21, 2010

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

Flash - Drag Child Mc Out Of Parent Mc And Add To New Parent Mc?

Oct 6, 2010

Here is a working script to drag drop a ball from the stage into another target mc:

ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...

It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?

Flash :: Display Objects Which Are Outside The Display Area When Is Embeded In HTML?

Nov 22, 2010

Is there any way to display flash objects which are outside the display area when flash is embeded in HTML
The reason i ask is my current project has a rotating + enlarging effect which is largely dynamic so sometimes an object may clip the edge of the stage areathis looks messy but i dont want to increase the stage area to cover  the largest possible area any object could enter because most of the time the objects are at the center and small so i would end up with a lot of white space

Flash - Sorting Display Objects By Their Display List Depth

Aug 5, 2011

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).
