In the platform game I'm making, I have a movieclip level/stage with the platforms (which are there own class) added in. I'm trying to load those platforms into an array for future use, but as I keep on getting null. Take a look at the code:

public class StageLevel1Test extends StageManager
{
private var _platformListCntr:Number = 0;

PHP Code:
var aaa:Sound = new Sound (new URLRequest ("awd awd.mp3"));aaa.play ();trace (aaa.id3.artist);
The song plays but when I try to get the song's artist / album it returns null. I also tried copying the format from live adobe help website but it still returns null.
Also I have 3 songs named 1, 2, and 3 in a folder. I made a playlist type thing and it works fine, the only problem I see is that I would have to rename 30 songs.
Having to do some as2 with an ancient system, and am far from fresh on it. I've managed to bungle my way through most of it, but I've hit a strange logic problem.
Code:

I have just recently started playing around with AS3 and am pretty new to what is going on in Flash (though I do have a lot of programming experience.) I have an object that I am dragging around on the mouse. I want it to be destroyed if I drop it anywhere but in a target location. I have the part where it is destroyed working, but I am running into a problem trying to find the target. When I try the following...
PHP Code:
public function DropObject(){
if (! this.hitTestObject(stage.getChildByName("Target"))){
stage.removeChild(droppedObject);
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,droppedObject.MouseCursorMove);
}}
I get "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter hitTestObject must be non-null." So, "getChildByName" is returning null, but I'm not sure why. I've verified that there is an Instance name of the Target on the stage. Why can't I find it?

Ive embeded my game.as file as a movie clip into a new .fla which has 1 frame for the game, 1 frame for the win screen, 1 frame for the loose screen and 1 frame for the intro screen.
So at the end of the game I do MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
where my frame is either the win screen or the loose screen frame.both screens have a playagain button that returns me to the game frame.Sometimes I get the error after the first win/loss sometimes I get it after I do play again and then when I win/loose.
the error is at:MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
Im not exactly sure why or how to fix it though any tips?
I'm using the native Flash StyleSheet Object to hold externally loaded CSS styles, and when I run the the getStyle("myStyle") function of the StyleSheet Object, it returns an Object in all cases, even when the style doesn't exist!
In cases where no style is found on the StyleSheet, the ASDocs say that the getStyle() function should return null. So if "notAStyle" is not a style on the StyleSheet, and I test[code]...

I created a custom textfield component that I need multiples of in a single swf. I also created a non-visual wrapper component to manage them. I am sending info from the textfields to wrapper. I was planning on using the child index to associate the info with the right component. The problem occurs when I have two instances of the textfield component and one of the wrapper on stage and I use stage.numChildren and it returns 1.

Here I have include tf1 and tf2 display Objects in container1 displayContainer. When I chedk the total number of childrenon container 1 it shows 1 instead 2.
I am trying to find number of children, from a class, on the main timeline as below:

var num: uint = this.root.numChildren;
But, the comiler makes faces and reports as;"Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display: DisplayObject." I also request to shed some light on static type flash.display - what does this mean!

And I need many instances of that class (which extends MovieClip, and is tied to a object in the library) inside the container object. and I want to run some functions and set some variables of the first object in the container object when the

From a position on an Array of sector Sprites on an 11 x 11 grid, I am trying to "sense" what Child occurs at nearby sector Sprites. I felt certain I could use something like this
if (sectorArray [currentSector - 11].getChildAt is MovieClip) {
//do stuff
}
but it doesn't seem to work. I changed my visibility settings to true, thinking the false visibility might be a problem, but no result.
I know this may seem like a trivial question, but I don't know how to solve this, basicly I remove certain components from my stage at a part of my Flash/Actionscript 3 movie by running through all the elements displayed, seeing if each is an instance of MenuDinamico (sprite), GalerÃa (sprite) or Map (Google Maps)

the script i wrote is working fine. but the script attached to the flash player which i have no control over is throwing a script error (im using IE8).how can i fix this? if i run it locally there is no error.
'null' is null or not an object
try { document.getElementById("").SetReturnValue(__flash__toXML(function() { return document.location.hostname; }()) ); } catch (e) { document.getElementById("").SetReturnValue("<undefined/>"); }
but this is from flash script and i dont have control over it. it just say JScript - script block.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to get an image object from one sprite container and adding it to another sprite container. But when I use GetChildAt for this, it will remove the object from the parent sprite and place it inside the other.

Problem is when I run this code sprContainer2.numChildren is getting reduced by 1, which seems that this code removes a child from sprcontainer2.

know if it is possible to use PHP/mySQL or using just actionscript to save current status of the flash file section that you were currently viewing and returning to the same section at a later stage when you log back onto the website. What I mean is using a log in/log out script. e.g. > I am at a website (flash of course):> I sign in> start at section one of the website (homepage)> Use website> get to section seven of the website> log off> return later and log on to the website with my user id and password again.
View 1 RepliesIn a nutshell, I have a for loop updating a dynamic text element but it seems to iterate so fast that only the last item in the loop is updating the text. I'd like the dynamic text element to be updated with EACH item in the loop, not just the last.I have a single frame movie where I create a simple array of strings from an external text file:
_global.i = 0;
_global.numplaces = 0;
_global.PlacesArray = new Array();

The traces work fine and show that the for loop is iterating properly. However the place.htmlText dynamic text in a movie nested one level down (for tweening purposes) that I'd like the loop to update is only updating with the last item in the array.
