I want to add children from the library that are named something like b1, b2, b3 etc. I'd like to add a numeric var to the name so that I can randomly or incrementally reference them. I can't seem to get the syntax/implementation right.

i'm porting an old AS2 project to AS3, And have encounter a problem. I've tried a few different things but had no success.
in AS2 when dynamically attaching a MC from the library i would sometimes use an array. the array would hold linkage reference's, like so;
var mc:String = state_ar[currentState];
this.container.attachMovie(mc,mc,this.getNextHighestDepth());
targetMC = this.container[mc];
How would i do this in AS3?
I had this posted as an indexing problem. The end result being that a swf loaded onto the stage was covering a pulldown menu mc.
What I discovered is that the mc itself is not displaying despite using the following, very simple syntax[code]...
I am trying to make a function where if you click on one button, a new movieclip is added to the stage. When you click on that movieclip, it should play the closing and remove itself from the stage (removeChild).The problems I am running into are that when you click the button, it will add a new movieclip child for every click. I want it to only add one and any successive clicks would close it.Also I was successful in making the new movie clip play the closing but I cant figure out how to remove it from the stage. Its alpha fades to 0 as the closing, but its still there and just invisible.[code]
View 3 RepliesI 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?

View 1 RepliesI can't access a loaded swfs library and add children from it. My mainContainer.swf loads in index.swf, within index.swf I have a movieclip in my library named page_mc that exports with it.
I want to add page_mc to the index.swf stage from an AS file that I import within my document class of mainContainer.

I'm trying to simply add an instance of a movieclip from my library onto the stage using AS3 code. I've exported actionscripts for the movieclip in the first frame. Why does it want me to include a class name that is not being used by any other item in the library?
Also I call the library item like so:
this.addChild(box);
What steps am I missing? It keeps saying "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
Is there anyway in ActionScript 3.0 to assign instance names to movieclips in the library without assigning linkage id? I said that because I have over 1000 movieclips in the library that I need to be able to manipulate at runtime. I hope I don't have to Right Click -> Linkage... a thousand times to assign the linkage IDs. How can I reference to the library movieclips without having to name 1000 times?

I'm using a CLICK event to add a MovieClip to the stage from my library. Within the added MovieClip is a child MovieClip animation with a stop() on it's first frame.For some reason when I add the parent MovieClip to the stage on CLICK, the child clip immediately starts playing, even though it has a stop() on it's first frame. This is how I'm doing it:
Code: Select allstage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClick);
function mouseClick (event:MouseEvent):void

I have a class tied to a library item, but no matter what I do, if I access any of the children (added via the stage in the Flash IDE) in the constructor of the class, they always return null and give me #1009 errors.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?
I'm loading a bunch of tiles for a tile game and just decided to rewrite the whole game in AS3 instead of AS2. I just want to add my library tiles named from "mc1"-"mc15" to my patch mc and place them on the stage! What am I doing wrong? And can I skip an if/switch at the end deciding which tile to fetch from the library? I'm not getting any error messages.. it's just that nothing shows up 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?

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:
