ActionScript 3.0 :: Error With AddChild Method ?
Oct 25, 2010
I'm trying to create some objects at runtime in AS3 rather than at authortime in the Flex part of the application. My problem is adding them to the stage. The addChild method fails when I add the Textfield to the Panel, and I've tried using "this.addchild", and AddElement, but either it throws an exception or won't compile.
The error message is: [Fault] exception, information=Error: addChild() is not available in this class. Instead, use addElement() or modify the skin, if you have one.
Here's the code:

I'm trying to have a class file which can add objects to the stage via addChild; however, when I call addChild from within the class file, I get the error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild." I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

I created a new class as DraggableObject in Flash CS5 with the following definition:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class DraggableObject extends MovieClip{
public function DraggableObject(){
[Code].....
Before running the code, I had a simple rectangle object converted to a movie clip and exported it to actionscript with the class of 'DraggableObject'. I just had it in library (i. e. no other instance in the stage). What I wanted is to create an instant of it at run-time ( 'draggableObject' ) and have it added to the display list of the stage, throgh its method 'draggableObject.addToStage()'.
And I don't have an idea as to what 'null object' referes to here. Since I created an instance in the line "var draggableObjectraggableObject = new DraggableObject()", it cann not be null....? When I commented out the line 'stage.addChild( this );' in the class definition (line9) it works with the trace statement output.

I am attempting to make a collapsing list like the ones in google adwords. The compiler is telling me that addChild is not a valid method. Here is my code:
package comps {
import spark.components.Button;
import spark.components.Group;
import spark.components.TextArea;
public class CollapsibleList extends Group {
[Code] .....
I am assuming the compiler isn't lying to me so how do I get those objects (children) to appear?

I have downloaded Box2d ([URL]) and created a project that looks like this: [URL]. catalyst is the green cube and it has the base class "shapes.box", it is inside "world" which has the base class "wck.World". What i want to do is to add another "catalyst" from the library inside "world" when i click on add_btn. I tried to accomplish this by this code:

I have four classes -
class Init - intialises some variables, and is the doc Class.
class Street - loads XML data for, say, a number of streets in a particular area
class House - loads in the houses data for one particular street
class DisplayHouse - displays graphics on screen for the houses
This all seems to be working apart from the actual graphical display of objects.In the ouput window I am seeing the results I need to see pertaining the the XML data loaded.The problem is that in House - I have the code :
var new _house = new DisplayHouse();
addChild (_house);
and DisplayHouse is a simple graphics-shape:
var drawHouse:Sprite=new Sprite();
code... to draw house!
addChild(drawHouse);
Now, when I comile, I keep getting this error:
Location: House.as
Description: 1180:call to undefined method addChild
Source: addChild (_house);
House extends sprite and has import Sprite and all that! - infact all the classes have the same imports and extend Sprite!semi-colons are all in right places, there are no typos!I simply cannot understand why addChild is an undefined method in this case!

I have a main SWF e-learning tutorial and want to have video pop up on certain screens. over the main area.It would be like a person walking over a screen shot of a program.
1. Should I do an load the video through an Add Child method or load it to another level? User would click a button to see the video.
2. Can you pull out all the back ground in a program like Adobe Premiere and have a transparent background or will I need to put some form of a background in like the screenshot.

I used to have the checkbox MovieClips in the menuListingClass, but I instead wanted to add them using something like addChild(). However when I try to reference the checkboxs later in the same way as I did before, I get an Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. What do I need to add to reference the checkboxes like I did before?

Starting new thread for this topic as suggested by forum. I have a website which tweens movieclip pages (named home, bio, music, video and contact). Love the effect and trying to keep it. Main timeline contains the main buttons (home_btn, bio_btn, music btn, video_btn, contact_btn). Music page has a XML mp3 player contained in it with button control. Video page has an encoded video with no code.
I need the following:
1 - Music and video to shut off as those pages/movieclips tween off the stage. Gets annoying with them playing especially at the same time
2 - Music player to play correctly. It is not with the new code.
I have the following code. The "Tween Code" is on frame 1 of the main timeline of the movie. The "MP3 code" is on frame 1 of the music movie clip. I am getting the following ERROR message when running my movie. I ran the Debugger as I publish and it points to music.my_channel.stop(); in below code. My thought process on this was that it would reach out to the music movieclip, find my_channel and stop it.

I am trying to emulate (in a limited way) the behavior of JavaScript's XMLHttpRequest object through Flash/ActionScript 3, in order to overcome the same-domain limitation. But I'm discovering that ActionScript has its own limitations in that regard. I admit that I might be mistaken, but from what I understand it is theoretically still possible to do this sort of cross-domain scripting using ActionScript, so long as you get all the permissions right. And that's where I'm running into trouble.
First, I borrowed some open-source code for a class called AjaxRequest, which I have saved as /ajax/AjaxRequest.as. I then created a Flash file called /jsajax.fla which exports to the final SWF file, /jsajax.swf. Now, here's the ActionScript code that comprises the first and only frame of the Flash file:
import ajax.AjaxRequest;
Security.allowDomain("domainone.com");
Security.allowDomain("domaintwo.com");[code]....
This is the only case I could not get working, and this is the case I need to get working. The first two were really just test scenarios to see if the script was working at all. When I try to run my jsAjax function here, I wind up with an error that shows up twice in Firebug:
uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.].
uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.].

This is my code,
stop();
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playClick3);
function playClick3(Event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(422);
}
On frame 422 there is no code at the moment. I keep getting the error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am trying to use the scroll pane component and I am having a few teething troubles. I have a scroll pane as a child object of a movie clip which is essentially a 'page', if I display this page it works fine and the scroll pane does too. If I then remove this page from the display list, go to another page and come back by readding it to the display list, I get the following error, even though nothing else has changed:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at fl.containers::ScrollPane/fl.containers:ScrollPane::endDrag()
The scroll pane is still visible and works correctly, but ideally I'd like to stop this error.
