How does the ADDED_TO_STAGE work? I have a class but it doesn`t work outside the document class. How do i create a new instance of the class i have? It throws me an Error #1009...
this is the class... it works if i put it in the document class field...
Code:
package {
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;

I'm attempting to initiate a set of variables within a movie clip myElement as soon as it's dynamically loaded onto the stage:
frame1 within myElement:
PHP Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initiateVars); function initiateVars(ev:Event):void{ var currentY:int = this.y; var currentX:int = this.x; }
I'm trying to make this happen only once, and only when myElement is first placed on stage, but the code above doesn't work. Am I misusing the ADDED_TO_STAGE event?
I can't get the event to run, what's wrong?
ActionScript Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.text.*;

I've got a strange issue: an ADDED_TO_STAGE event listener executes twice..should I pay attention to some particular thing?
View 2 RepliesI'm getting this weird glitch where the added_to_stage event seems to be dispatched twice when I construct my object.Now I know that my constructor is not being called twice cause I traced a string before the event listener, and it only traces once but I traced the same string within the listener handling function body and it traced twice.
Here's the code:
Code:
package com.berubegraphics.martinemartell
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;

I would like to listener ADDED_TO_STAGE Event, this event will run more than one, and first run time same object is null.How to fix this error?

I've got a class which attempts to call a method upon Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE firing. Instances of this class are obviously added to my stage (I can see them) yet my onAddedToStage method never gets called.
HTML Code:

{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

I have this slight problem with the event ADDED_TO_STAGE. The listener is launched twice so I figured the event is dispatched twice.
Here is my .fla code :
Code:
var section:SectionStructure = new SectionStructure("xml/list.xml")
addChild(section)
the SectionStructure code :

despite using ADDED_ON_STAGE it is throwing TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference Below is my code of main class and menuScreen class.

ActionScript Code:

I made the following discovery while attempting to use the ADDED_TO_STAGE event with timeline code. I don't know whether to say it's a real problem, or maybe it's just an observation, but it's very simple to demonstrate. Just make a MovieClip symbol in the library, and set it for export. On frame 1 of this MovieClip symbol, enter this code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, added);[code]....
(Note: I called my MovieClip symbol Screen1, and gave it a class name of Screen1 when I set it for export. But I am letting Flash create the class for me, there is no same-named class in the classpath)Next, put this code on frame 1 of the main timeline:
ActionScript Code:
var screen1:Screen1 = new Screen1();
addChild(screen1);
Looking at that latter code, apparently when the screen1 instance is created in line 1, the object hasn't fully finished instantiating before line 2 is executed,because the trace message never happens.Prior to this, I had assumed that code on frame 1 of a MovieClip, if it were "base level" and not inside any functions, was roughly equivalent to the constructor of a class. Apparently that isn't so, because whenever I add an event listener for ADDED_TO_STAGE in the constructor of a class, it always works, even if the object is immediately added to the display list, exactly as above.
In some of my other testing, if the movie clip instance is later removed from the stage and added again, the added and removed handlers fire just fine. It's only this initial time that it gets skipped. Also, if you add an event listener for ADDED_TO_STAGE from the main timeline instead, like this:
ActionScript Code:
screen1.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, added);
It works just fine.The conclusion I draw from all this is that there is no way to use the ADDED_TO_STAGE handler inside a MovieClip's frame code and have it fire the first time. Also that there may be no real equivalent to a constructor when you let Flash create the class for you. Thoughts, anyone? I am attaching a FLA file (CS4 format) in case anyone might want to examine this without putting a file together yourself. Don't expect anything at all fancy, though, it's nothing more than what I described above, and I fully expect you'll want to delete it later.
I have an error code #1009 and have been googling around and found a lot of links, yet I'm not sure where to put the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE to make my project work. The error code is

I'm using flash cs3. I'm trying to to add the eventlistener on a movie clip timeline (frane 1) that is in the library. If the code is in the timeline then the event is never registered when flash adds it to the stage. If however I put the code into an external class (doing the linkage stuff) it works fine.

well i have a problem to which there are lots of related searches over the net but none could solve it. well the problem is that i have an XML driven carousel menu that needs to be loaded using the preloader. After the load is complete i can find my swf menu's backgound and the static buttons getting loaded but the buttons that should load in the carousel using xml are not present.
I have come across the even ADDED_TO_STAGE to load the swf once it has completed its dynamic loading. But they have used it in the documentation class for thier project. I am not using any separate actionscript file.All my code is written in the 1st frame of my project .... I really need a solution to this problem
I've built a UIComponent in AS3. When I drag it onto the stage during authoring time, the ADDED_TO_STAGE event fires.
I have an event handler, but it's really only meant to perform actions at runtime, not when I'm dropping the component onto the stage to design the layout. Is there any way to check to see if the component is "running" in a live SWF?
Basically, I don't want the ADDED_TO_STAGE event handler to do anything at design time.
I am trying to defeat my psychological block with dynamically loaded fonts in AS3, and I have an annoying problem. I am creating a clock with a textfield and I am loading fonts from a SWF library: the available classes/linkages are "Arial", "ArialBold", "MyriadPro", "MyriadProBold" and "Verdana".This is the line where I get the class from the SWF, and it extracts the class correctly
Code:
clock = new Clock( { fontClass: assetsLoader.getFontClass("skin", "Arial") } );

I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:[url]....
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
I am using Flash CS4 with actionscript 2 to create an interacitve portfolio.I have 2 text buttons that work when I test them with "enable simple buttons." When I publish to IE these buttons won't work. I have created over 50 buttons using the same methods, they all work.
View 8 RepliesI have a completed project (AS2) that contains a lot of FLVs. I burned it onto DVD and it works great on Mac (guide.app) and PC (guide.exe).Here's the web version of the project.http:[url]....Now, months later, I have to provide the project with source files (FLA's) and some other stuff - so I got an external HD, copied the files from the working DVD onto it. Running the guide.exe off of the external (connected to WinXP SP3) works just like running it off the DVD - EXCEPT for the FLVs which simply to not appear.
http:[url]...Everything up to that step works: When I click on "guide.exe", the "splash screen" opens showing the title and 4 buttons. These buttons are to choose a language and they work.When I select a language and click its button the GUI for the language with menus appear and they work. When I click on a topic from the menu, the topic's skin appears but the video inside the skin doesn't play. Everything works but the FLVs.
Even weirder - If I use VLC Player to open an FLV directly - the FLV will play. That tells me there is some path issue but how can a path change when it's compiled into the SWF? Besides - the paths from swf to flv has not changed when I copied all the files to the external.why the FLVs will not play on the external the same way they play when on the DVD?
i have a flash that I have tried to add my html link to the aboutus.htlm, billboard.html, and contac.html and it is not working? I am still new but would like to email the flash file for someone to tell me why its not working- I added the link for aboutus.html but its not working.
View 6 Repliesalright, here is the deal: i have published a .swf AND a macintosh projector file and the only thing the movie contains is one button with a link to a web page. here is my actionscript:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com");
}
i click on the button and absolutely nothing happens. has anyone ever come across something like this? is this a settings problem?
Whenever I try to import any .wav, .mp3, or any other kind of file, it always says that there was a problem reading them.
View 2 RepliesI have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.

I have created a simple site in flash cs 4 using AS2.0. The nav bar buttons are text. I have made them into Movie Clips and put actionscript onto the MC instance which looks like this: [code]The button does not work. I have converted the symbol to a button and kept the Actionscript on the instance and they do not work. I have in fact copied exactly what I have done on a previous site that worked and it is not working here.The AS is not on the timeline, nor on the button or movieclip but on the instance of it. I am at a loss as to why it doesn't work. When I use the button instead of the MC the button flashes/blinks but still does not work.

I won't post the file because I'm using someone else's character and it's fine with them, but I doubt it should be here - this is the only code that's a problem, though.
I am working on a site (in Flash CS5 -- using AS3) with drop-down menus. I finally got my drop-downs to work and was stoked for that. I then decided that I wanted the menu bar to motion tween in from the left. I placed the tween on the bar, and saw the tween line on the stage. However, when I go to test the movie in Flash, or publish it and watch it in my browser, the tween doesn't happen, the bar just stays left of the stage.
