ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Video Through AddChild Method?
Mar 21, 2010
I have a main SWF e-learning tutorial and want to have video pop up on certain screens. over the main area.It would be like a person walking over a screen shot of a program.
1. Should I do an load the video through an Add Child method or load it to another level? User would click a button to see the video.
2. Can you pull out all the back ground in a program like Adobe Premiere and have a transparent background or will I need to put some form of a background in like the screenshot.

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?

I have downloaded Box2d ([URL]) and created a project that looks like this: [URL]. catalyst is the green cube and it has the base class "shapes.box", it is inside "world" which has the base class "wck.World". What i want to do is to add another "catalyst" from the library inside "world" when i click on add_btn. I tried to accomplish this by this code:

I'm trying to create some objects at runtime in AS3 rather than at authortime in the Flex part of the application. My problem is adding them to the stage. The addChild method fails when I add the Textfield to the Panel, and I've tried using "this.addchild", and AddElement, but either it throws an exception or won't compile.
The error message is: [Fault] exception, information=Error: addChild() is not available in this class. Instead, use addElement() or modify the skin, if you have one.
Here's the code:

I have four classes -
class Init - intialises some variables, and is the doc Class.
class Street - loads XML data for, say, a number of streets in a particular area
class House - loads in the houses data for one particular street
class DisplayHouse - displays graphics on screen for the houses
This all seems to be working apart from the actual graphical display of objects.In the ouput window I am seeing the results I need to see pertaining the the XML data loaded.The problem is that in House - I have the code :
var new _house = new DisplayHouse();
addChild (_house);
and DisplayHouse is a simple graphics-shape:
var drawHouse:Sprite=new Sprite();
code... to draw house!
addChild(drawHouse);
Now, when I comile, I keep getting this error:
Location: House.as
Description: 1180:call to undefined method addChild
Source: addChild (_house);
House extends sprite and has import Sprite and all that! - infact all the classes have the same imports and extend Sprite!semi-colons are all in right places, there are no typos!I simply cannot understand why addChild is an undefined method in this case!

I created a new class as DraggableObject in Flash CS5 with the following definition:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class DraggableObject extends MovieClip{
public function DraggableObject(){
[Code].....
Before running the code, I had a simple rectangle object converted to a movie clip and exported it to actionscript with the class of 'DraggableObject'. I just had it in library (i. e. no other instance in the stage). What I wanted is to create an instant of it at run-time ( 'draggableObject' ) and have it added to the display list of the stage, throgh its method 'draggableObject.addToStage()'.
And I don't have an idea as to what 'null object' referes to here. Since I created an instance in the line "var draggableObjectraggableObject = new DraggableObject()", it cann not be null....? When I commented out the line 'stage.addChild( this );' in the class definition (line9) it works with the trace statement output.

I would like to know the internals of that method, in other words what exactly happens when I call that method. If someone can explian it with a list 1,2,3... would be great. including events..
and the addElement method too, if is possible.

I 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?
Code:

I am attempting to make a collapsing list like the ones in google adwords. The compiler is telling me that addChild is not a valid method. Here is my code:
package comps {
import spark.components.Button;
import spark.components.Group;
import spark.components.TextArea;
public class CollapsibleList extends Group {
[Code] .....
I am assuming the compiler isn't lying to me so how do I get those objects (children) to appear?

Basically I have this movieclip on stage that is suppose to load another movieclip from an swf. in that swf are 31 copies of the movieclip since theres no duplicateMovieclip function in as3. I am able to load and add child to the movieclips easy with this,
PHP Code:
function duplicateMovieclips():void{
for (var i=0; i<movieclipsToLoad; i++){
movieclipsDuplicated++;
entrys_mc.addChild(mcV[i]);
Below (which I excluded) are other various bits of code to edit the movieclip and what not. I can also remove it just fine with this bit of code here
PHP Code:
function removeF():void{
var repeat:int = 0;
for (var i=0; i<timesToRemove;i++){
entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);
repeat++;
movieclipsToLoad--;
if(i == timesToRemove-1){
loadSelected(); //THE PROBLEM
}}}
What this swf is trying to do is record the year and the month the user clicks on and then return every day's data from the xml if a day is filled out. when removeF(); executes, i get the error:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
Pointing at entrys_mc.removeChild(mcV[i]);...but when its NOT there, loadSelected(); that is, it works just fine. I even put a trace statement in it. The whole if condition works fine to.
LoadSelected is the one that retrieves the text needed to load in the movieclip. whatever year and month the user selects, it loads the information of it and puts it in a string. then it displays in the dynamic text field inside the movieclip. Also, when SWF loaded it loads all 31 movieclips using this.
Code:
for (var i = 0; i < 31; i++){
var groupMC:MovieClip=MovieClip(clip.getChildByName("group" + i));
mcV.push(groupMC);
trace("repeat # = " + i);
}

I've created a couple of flash animations, fairly simple, but the whole relies on loading external swf files and then unloaing them.
The base file works fine, loads the externals and unloads them (although I need to preven the user from hitting the unload button when there is nothing to unload) and will then load another just fine, IF I run it directly from my file system.
I want it to be on a web page, but when you click the button to load the external files, nothing happens. Safari tells me it cannot find the file, and I'm using the exact same directory to test.
So, works fine when testing with flash (CS4) and running directly from the directory in finder, but from a web page, it cannot find the file.

I have a movie on stage that acts as a button using the code. person_mc.buttonMode = true;
I load an image onto the stage from my library using addChild(holiday);
What happens is that the person_mc button I have on stage will not function anymore, because I am presuming it is underneath the holiday pic when I loaded it using addChild.
How do I load the holiday pic, so that it is underneath the person_mc?
I know I could do what I did with holiday using addChild for the person_mc, but I do not want to do it that way.

loading 2 external swfs into one main file using 1 preloader, I have figured out how to get the preloader to handle the correct # of bytes loaded and such but my 1st swf I want to load onto the stage is a video file and I want it as the background but I don't want it to start until after they are both (the video and main file - 2 external swfs) loaded and then I want to start the video and place it on the stage first, then place the main swf on the stage.
I can get the order right if I place them into my load complete function but then my buttons don't work on the main file.
Here is the code:
var bytesLoadedVidBG:Number = new Number();var bytesTotalVidBG:Number = new Number();var loader0:Loader = new Loader(); // load video BGvar loadedSWF0:Object;loader0.load(new

I import the video manually from the File Tab. I change the stage size to match video (I want it full screen because I have "liquid layout" AS3 code in order to match browser window) I center the video on the stage.I make the video an Object (MovieClip)
And that's it.
The video play well, matching the full brower window and resizing accordingly.
My questions are :
1 - I am making the video a movie clip but is it necessary. I have tried without and it still works!! The only thing I find weird is that the "publishing" doesnt work when the video is not made a MovieClip. (I struggle to center the SWF in the HTML page)
2 - I don't know about the Netstream class. My server is a normal FTP (with PHP MYSQL) but not a streaming server. Would it be appropriate (better) to call the video through AS3 using the Netstream class ? (actually I am not sure of what the Netstream class is for)
3 - I have tried to loop the video using the classic AS3 code (that can be found anywhere). What is funny is that the code works when the movie is not converted to an object. But when it is, the looping doesnt work at all. Do you see a reason why ? (Maybe because the video is imported manually and not an instance created from the Video MovieClip Object ??)
