I have been using a lot of swapChildren, setChildIndex,addChild, removeChild on stage and also a lot switching children when buttons rollover and rollout. I want to know is there a method to trace or keep track of all the depth of children in the output panel??

I'm doing a simple navigational menu and the idea is that when you rollover certain buttons, a linked movie clip appears in a certain spot and any other linked movie clips disappear off the stage. I heard about a bug with AS3 in CS4 and tried the following method but it's not working. All the movie clips stay on the stage. Nothing disappears. Where am I screwing up?

View 3 RepliesI am currently developing a flash application that would allow a user to control a movieclip on the stage using 2 keyboard inputs (like turning 2 knobs in order to align something).I have it set up that on the 2 keyboard inputs, the movieclip moves.What I am looking at doing is using trace statements that I use to track the position of the movieclip, which is just a simple black dot, and having the values of the trace statement show up on screen in 2 dynamic text fields, after being rounded to the nearest whole integer. The dot is in the movieclip entitled mCoordPlane.My script is below:
stop();
mAligned.visible=false;mNotAligned.visible=false;
var letterK:Boolean=false;var letterJ:Boolean=false;var letterD:Boolean=false;var letterF:Boolean=false;[code]......
Is there a bug with stage height in Flash? Every time I use that and run a trace statement, it's wrong.
View 1 RepliesI have a button that, when it is clicked, should cause a text box to appear. I can make text appear as a trace so I know the button's working, but I have no idea how to either get the trace onto the stage - it only appears in the .fla .output window. I think what would be preferable would be to get a text box to appear as the event but can't work it out....
View 2 RepliesHow do I get a list of all the children (Sprites) on the stage of my Document Class OR how can I get a list (length) of all the children (Sprites) of a parent (Sprite)?
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is just iterate through stage children and trace out what the child is and the index. Here is some code.the problem area seems to be the actual recurseStage() call at the end. As well as the if statement before that. I know not all children will have the property .numChildren but I'm not sure what to use instead. This should be an easy fix but my brain just isn't helping me out right now.
View 1 RepliesI added children to the stage on frame 1, however they still exist on frame 2 even though there is no code there. Can I erase the stage? Or do I have to throw every object into an array and use removeChild in a loop?
View 2 RepliesI have created a set of MC's loaded from library via attachMovie in a for loop. Right now I have a set of MC's that are attached with the numbers 1-8. I would like to be able to select a MC and traces back its number. I know this can be achieved through an array. I know how to build arrays, but I do not know how to create an array what would trace back a number form a for loop.
Here is the code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("navClip",this.getNextHighestDepth());
for (i=0; i<8; i++) {
currentThumb = navClip.attachMovie("numberBox", "clip"+i, i, {_x:(i*50)});
currentThumb.imageNum.text = i+1;
navClip._x = (Stage.width/2)-(navClip._width/2);
currentThumb.onRelease = function() {
trace(currentThumb);
};}
I need it to call back in the onRelease the number associated with that clip(array).
I am creating an AIR nativeWindow. I am adding two children, an HTMLLoader and a Sprite. The child Sprite has two children, a TextField and a Sprite that will be used to draw. I have set stage.scaleMode = "noScale" and stage.align = "TL", which the HTMLLoader seems to respect. However, the child Sprite scales its children whenever I set a height.
public function BaseWindow(){
var winInit:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
winInit.type = NativeWindowType.NORMAL;[code]..........
How do I prevent the distractor Sprite from scaling its children?

I am trying to add children to a dynamically added swf file, using AS3, before I add it to stage
Here is the code I have thus far,
AS3:
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(glo.bal.base_url+"videos/vid_1.swf");
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler_one);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
[Code].....
Inside the vid_1 swf there is a movie clip called box_one, I would like to append a image to box_one, and only have the swf added to stage after the image file has been added to box_one.
I am working in on a Flex / Air application (using PureMVC) written virtually entirely in ActionScript 3 (i.e. we use very little of Flex). View components are added to a Canvas object in the main application window and these Views then load other movie clips, images files, etc.When I remove a View from the stage, I do so using application.canvas.removeChild(). This fires an event in my PureMVC mediator for that View, which removes any event listeners that were set up and everything appears to be dandy.However, the movie clips are still playing in the background. They are not causing any trouble on screen but they are simply there, playing somewhere in memory (e.g. I can see trace statements from them) and I want them gone. I suspect the View that was removed from the Canvas is still there too, but I can't prove it.
Setting the View to null doesn't do anything. I'm surprised that AS3 doesn't include any method to simply and effectively destroy a Display Object and all of its children.Is the only way to do this to tediously unload all of the movie clips, etc. and then hope that Flash will clean them up?
I have 9 movie clips which are all of the same object, they get larger or smaller as the mouse gets closer to their respective centers. The functionalilty for this is in an AS3 class file that extends flash.display.MovieClip.How do I go about swapping depths so that the largest one is in the foreground, I am new to AS3 and dont seem to be able to find a way of getting the depth of the movieclip I am currently inside (this) and if I try to access the stage to call swapChildren I get the following runtime error:

I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

View 4 RepliesI have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?
