I have created a button class which has graphical elements. In future I might want to add this as a child to other things so what I would like to know is, firstly, can I get the details of the parent object from the child and, probably more importantly, is there an event that tells me when my button has been added as a child so that I can resize it?

I am using a Flash AS2 template for a PayPal shopping cart on my site. As the code is now, a new shipping charge is added to the buyers total for every item added. I would like it to have only 1 shipping charge, no matter how many items are added!

Basically I am dynamically calling product buttons, which on rollover invoke a child of a dropdown, which in turn invokes children which are squares filled with colour.What I need is for these squares to be clickable which will then colour something else using the colourMatrixFilter (I'll probably start another post for this problem at a later date).For some reason though adding the Square as a child to it's rightful parent - the dropdown makes the listeners completely useless. Add to the stage and the listeners work. I can't work out why either and have done loads of searching.[code] also if someone could show me in the right direction of pulling the XMLdata for the squares (which will be a name attribute).

View 3 RepliesCan event listeners only be added to the class which dispatched the event? I ask because I want to have the logic for the listener on the main class, and the action is dispatched on click from a thumb which is instantiated in a scroller class. Kinda like this:

This doesn't work. Why can't the main class listen for an event on the thumb class?
I have created a flash file with animations, buttons and videos which will be uploaded to Zmags - (Digital publishing platform for flat pdfs) Everything is correctly set up on my flash file, and the .swf files work fine independently. Once uploaded to Zmags, when turning to a new page within the interactive pdf, the animations plays a small clip before the page is fully loaded. Once the page is fully loaded, the animations and buttons etc work as they should. I do not want this short clip of animation to run when the page loads.
Now I have been told that the solution will lie with: Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE and Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE.
I am informed that these event listeners will ensure the page is fully loaded before the animation plays.how to add these into my ActionScript,.I have the actions on the first frame of the timeline and have used frames to create a contents page, so when your mouse hovers over the pages numbers (buttons), different animations happen (which are contained in the frames) I have no clue what to do next to add Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE and Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE.

one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onebutton);
function onebutton(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]...............
I am making a simple xml gallery that loads in images into a movie clip that looks like a Polaroid. So, the idea is that flash will see how many image need to me imported. Then in the for loop it will add child the Polaroid mc (which has been exported for actionscript and the class named "Polaroid"). The inside that Polaroid mc there is an empty mc called "polimageHolder_mc" that I want to load the xml loaded image into. I keep getting this error "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties", when I use the code below. It makes sense to me but my syntax is obviously incorrect. [code]...
View 3 RepliesSo when you win my game I add a movieclip that will let you enter your name through a text input component. Unfortunately, I'm calling it wrong.
I'm getting an undefined property error because it's out of the youWon function, right? You'd think I'd understand this concept eventually!
[Code]....
public class ItemView extends MovieClip {
private var _title:TextField;
private var _extra:MovieClip;
[Code]....
When I create an instance of ItemView and add it to the stage, "Title" displays but the blue square does not. However, if I make the graphics calls on this instead of _extra, I do see the blue square. This tells me that _extra itself is not displaying properly, but I can't figure out why. Is there some special procedure for adding one MovieClip to another?
I have 4 functions called by their own buttons. Each function calls a movie clip from the library with addChild. When I click on one of these 4 functions I want it to remove the added children if any of the other functions had been clicked prior. Problem is, removeChild at the start of each function results in errors if a child had never been called yet. It's trying to remove something that isn't there. - So I tried making a 'flag:number = 0' for each of the 4 functions. Each function begins with settings its flag to '1' I put a for loop at the beginning of each function saying IF any of the flags are = to 1, then remove the children. I don't see why that should not work, I think the error lies in my array or my for loop if statement as I still don't fully understand them. So I will just post the code relating to the array and loop:

View 1 RepliesI am currently having problems referencing a MovieClip child which I add to the Stage from the Document Class. Basically when the MovieClip child is added to the Stage from the Document Class, I want a certain MovieClip already on the Stage to reference it once it is on the Stage.
Also, if it is possible, I don't want the MovieClip referencing the child being added to the Stage to have parameters linking it with the Document Class, because I plan on nesting this MovieClip within another MovieClip later on in the future.
Here is the code for the MovieClip class which is referencing the child once it is added to the Stage:

import com.gameEngine.documentClass.*;

I'm making a map editor in flash. For the map area, a dynamic Movieclip will this and that in it will be loaded into a movieclip area, but I realised the problem of how a symbol resizes when a child is too big in the symbol.

I want to remove the appropriate child (e.currentTarget) and create a new child in its place with the next line, but it doesn't work. What do?
I have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?

What I'm doing is using a button to pull in a Movie Clip from the library.[code]...
I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.cbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);[code]....
It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.
I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?
