ActionScript 3.0 :: DisplayObject Access Parent.variable?
Feb 25, 2008
i was caught in the situation that i need the DisplayObject to access its parent.variable.
I have a Loader"B" was inside MovieClip"A"(with a variable"v") and i want called A.v like this:
Code:
trace(B.parent.v);
the above code is not working. and I need something similar. is it possible??
by the way, it has to be dynamic because i need to use it with function:
Code:
function doSomething (d:DisplayObject):void
{
trace(d.parent.v);
[Code].....

I have a public variable set within fx:Script tags in a parent component that I'd like to access directly from a child component. How can I do this? I don't want to pass the variable to the child component (I know how to do this and am currently using this approach). Following is a simplified version of the mxml:
Note: SimpleComp is an HBox with a couple of lists.

Firstly, I've created a global variable called mc to store a movieclip instance:[code]Later on inside a function, I've created a new instance of my movieclip and added it to the stage.[code]Now, this is working fine most of the time. But at one particular point in my program, after many other things have happened, when trying to remove this movieclip it throws the 'display object must be a child of the caller' error.So, I'm thinking if mc isn't a child of the stage, what is it a child of? Tracing mc.parent returns null - so it seems to be telling me that the parent (which was definitely the stage when it was created) has wandered of somewhere and abandoned my movieclip!I have no idea how this has happened, and as the whole program is several thousand lines long I can't post it here. So, does anyone have any idea what might cause a display object which is added to the stage to become orphaned like this?

S there any way filters applied to a DisplayObject (drop shadow, glow, bevel) can scale relatively with the parent (the DisplayObject it is inside)?And what about other properties like .distance for drop shadow?For example... If I have a 100px rectangle with a 10px glow inside a container object, and I set scaleX/scaleY of the container to .1, I want the glow to inherit the scale change from the parent (1/10th the size) just as the display object does that the filter is applied to.Instead, if you try this, you will see the glow stays at 10px no matter what scale the filter target or the container is transformed by.Pseudocode example (steps to reproduce),
1) create a sprite called _myOuterSprite on stage at scaleX = scaleY = 1
2) create a sprite called _myInnerSprite inside _myOuterSprite at scaleX = scaleY = 1
3) draw 100px rectangle into _myInnerSprite
4) apply 10px glow to _myInnerSprite
5) transform scale of _myOuterSprite to .1
Result:
- child sprite (rectangle) scales to 1/10th the size
- glow stays the same size
How can I make it so that glow scales to 1/10th as well?
...without capturing and scaling bitmap data
...without losing interactivity on objects
...in a way that would work visually for every filter, not just glow (drop shadow has distance property too, etc)

I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

I have a getter within a class which is used to make my property skin:DisplayObject read-only. This class also has a property body:AvBody which is used to define the x y width height etc of the object, which in turn positions the skin.
What I want to do is disable access to the properties x and y on skin unless accessed from within the internal namespace (where AvBody is also located) Is this possible?
Note: I can't make skin any type other than DisplayObject (I can't even make skin a class that extends DisplayObject because it creates issues with library symbols).

I have the need to change a variable in a child Flash file.
The setup is a parent Flash file, that has called a child Flash, and placed it in a movieClip.
I can send a variable using Javascript to the parent Flash file, but not directly to the child Flash file. Is there a way that I can access the child Flash file directly with Javascript?
Or do I need to send the variable to the parent Flash file, and then have the parent send the variable to the child Flash file? Is there a sort of dot notation that I can use with Javascript to get to the child Flash file without first accessing the parent, when the child is added to the parent using the loadClip function in flash?

How do access all of the children of a DisplayObject using code? (I'm looking for something like movieclip.children)
I'm using this in two cases:
1) To loop through and reposition all of the children of an enclosing MovieClip.
Or
2) To loop through and delete all of the children of a MovieClip

I am working on a project where we are making a "wizard" where you answer a series of questions and in the end you are presented with a "parts list" based on your answers.There is also logic which decides which questions you are asked based on how you have answered certain questions so far. The outcome is a list of door control hardware (locks, mounting plates, handles etc. etc.). show a "live image" of the parts list as it builds. For example one of the questions is this: Door Type?
A) Aluminum
B) All Glass
C) Wood
Depending on which you choose I need to show an image of an aluminum, glass or wooden door.Then if the next question is about lock types then your new lock shows up and so on and so forth until you reach the end.The questions all relate to their own variable which are each defined at the beginning of the movie like this:
Code:
var doorType:String = "DT0";
The questions use radio buttons and each question (re)defines it's variable like this
Code:
DT1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doorTypeHandler);[code]....
Now the tricky part (for me at least) is figuring how in the world to use this in conjunction with the questions (more accurately, the variables they define) to produce this live image.Another thing to add complication to this whole mess is that there are basically two entire sets of images. Single doors or Double doors, they both have (nearly) all the same hardware but they are two different sets of images. They are differentiated by the ot1 or ot2 in front of the class name. The variable openType defines OT1 or OT2 in a previous question. I would like to be able to use the variable openType in the call for the image
Code:
//This is how I tested it
currImage = new ot2_wood_exit();
//I would like to use openType instead of hard coding ot1 or ot2
currImage = new openType_wood_exit(); //I KNOW this is wrong, but I don't know what is right!So that is my basic dilemma. I need to show or hide specific images based on the answers to previously answered questions AND questions currently being answered (live update).

This is a problem that's best explained in code. I don't see how active_button.upState, which I know is a TextField (see trace statements), mysteriously turns into a DisplayObject when I try to access the textColor property. I've included the error messages below for reference. Also, why is it that when I have an object that I know is a SimpleButton (again, see traces) I need to cast it to SimpleButton in order to store it in a var? That doesn't make any sense to me.

It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example
I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?

I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

How to access a display object on the stage in a class which is not a document class?
I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve passing the stage as a parameter to the class.
One solution i always come across is using "TopLevel.as". Is it a good method because as far as I have heard using global variables is not recommended because it might cause some problems while working on big projects.

Well- actually, my problem is a bit more abstract than this thread's title suggests..ere's the setup:I have a parent function (called "Game") with a couple of subfunctions.There is one subfunction ("Game.prototype.spawnBonus") that, as the name suggests, spawns a Bonus Item by duplicating a movieclip.The duplicate movieclip is created on "_root"-level and has an onEnterFrame attached to it that checks whether a certain stage is met (all this works).Now the problem is, when the case is met, I need to access a subfunction of "Game" and pass it the MC's ID to fade out the Bonus Item. Like so:[AS]Game.prototype.fadeBonus =
function(number) {
// just some stuff to fade out the MC with the number
// passed through the value "number". This works well,

I have a container with text and a button and an image.
When i Mouse over the button i want to be able to tell the text inside the container to change its TextFormat to another.
How do i tell the text to do so, i though it would be something within the MouseEvent like,
event.target.parent (someway to access other child).setTextFormat()
is their a simple way to access another child from within the same parent?
