ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip AddChild - TextField Not Visible?
May 8, 2009
I have a movieclip, an image at the same size as the movieclip (it's like the backgroundImage of the mc) and a textfield. I have first created a movieclip object 'my_mc' then I loaded an external image 'ld_image' I created also a TextField object 'txtField' with backgroundColor red
then I did:
Code:
my_mc.addChild(ld_image);
//my_mc size = ld_image size
After that I did:
Code:
my_mc.addChild(txtField);
addChild(my_mc);
but now the txtField isn't visible but my cursor changes if I go over it with my mouse.

When I add a DisplayObject to a DisplayObjectContainer (e.g. a Sprite to a Sprite) in a function, it seems that the DisplayObject is actually added not immediately, but after finishing the function.
See this example:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
So we have a simple green button, and when it is clicked, there's a red Sprite constructed and added to the stage. But actually the red Sprite isn't visible until the onClick() function has been fully executed.
Why is that and what can I do for the red Sprite to be visible immediately?
Is there some (for the developer invisible) global paint() or update() function, that is not executed until some stack is fully executed or something?

How to make the cursor visible in a TextField (either flashing or still). I have created an on screen keyboard to use with a TextField so that the TextField doesn't receive direct keyboard/mouse input, but there is no cursor to see where you currently are. I have tried the setSelection() stuff with no luck..

Is there a max number of lines that can be displayed in a textfield?
I have a tf that is just cutting off text being pushed into it when it goes over a certain number of lines.

Given this:
PHP Code:
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
var _myriad = new _Myriad();
var tff:TextFormat = new TextFormat(_myriad.fontName, 24);
[Code]....
...why is it that I can see my text when I do this:
PHP Code:
addChild(tf);
but I can't see my text when I do this:
PHP Code:
container.addChild(tf);

I have an odd predicament that I'm trying to wrap my head around. I have a textField, that is populated by data from an xml file. It contains simple line html line break tags, and when I use the htmlText option, it doesn't seem to recognize those tags, even though they don't show up when I view it online. Here is my code:
Code:
//FLASHVARS CODE
var varName:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (varName in paramObj) {
[Code]......
I can't figure out how to make it render properly. If I choose a dynamic text field already on the stage it works fine, but then the scrollbar doesn't work. I read that a TextField automatically uses a scrollbar when it gets too long. Can anyone suggest a possible work around for this? I feel the answer is staring me in the face and I just can't see it.

I am currently creating an online portfolio using Slideshowpro [URL]. For some of my pictures I am using (external) captions from a XML file, inserted into a dynamic textfield. As some of the captions contain a lot of text I decided to add a UIScrollBar. However, when there is no text (no caption) available, I want the scrollbar to be hidden. Also if there is not enough text to warrant a scrollbar it would be great if it could be hidden!
Code below, note that "t_txt" is the instance name of my dynamic textfield:
import flash.text.TextField;
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
//remove scrollbar from stage, scrollbar component must be in library
var sbContent:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();

Is there any ways to set a movie clip(item2) invisible but set another movie clip which located inside item2 visible?

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

my_mediafile.load(new URLRequest("PMP2.jpg"));
//trace ("my_mediafile "+my_mediafile);
trace(mc_pmp.gfx_pmp)
mc_pmp.addChild(my_mediafile);
i have a movie clip(called gfx_pmp) inside of my movieclip (called mc_pmp) and i wanted to add a child to that movieclip gfx_pmp
thought i could use this code
mc_pmp.gfx_pmp.addChild(my_mediafile)
but it doesn't seem to work. when i ran a trace on mc_pmp.gfx_pmp it returned null as a value
trace(mc_pmp.gfx_pmp)
//returns null
i dont see what the issue is here, or why the trace on that is returning null
[object mc_pmp_43]
1st trace gfx_pmp [object MovieClip]
2ndtrace gfx_pmp [object MovieClip]

On my stage I have a movie clip called 'm1'. I also have a variable 'i' which is equal to 1. if I load in a bitmap (called 'bmp') and then use: this["m"+i].addChild(bmp) it attaches the bitmap to the movie clip - no problem. However, if I have a second movie clip WITHIN 'm1' (let's say this second movie clip is called 'mm1') - I can't figure out how to dynamically attach the bitmap to the second movie clip. this["m"+i].this["mm"+1].addChild(bmp) doesn't work....

I created a dragable Textbox by attaching a Textbox to a MovieClip. The intention is to be able to modify the text dynamically as a MovieClip. It worked great, at least for some time. But now I experience the following problem: Windows Vista Browsers (IE, Firefox) with Flash 10 are not showing anything or only the MovieClip but no TextBox! Maybe a Flash version issue? Another thing I found might be the reason: "DepthManager classes in version 2"???
Here is the code:
PS: I only put the logo in as a visible GIF to make it, ah, more visible. Otherwise I would use an emty gif "placeholder".
ActionScript Code:
var titel_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("titel_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());//950
var titelLoad:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I am having ongoing issue with using addChild(). Everything else works. The code below now loads all thirty five images and the addChild command is used directly on the Bitmap in initHandler in the ButtonClass.as excerpt below. Now I commented out the line that I was going to use to add these Bitmaps as children of the MovieClip in placeThumbnail function in the FLA. So I believe the only problem I have left is finding a way to get the Bitmaps to be children of the correct MC //This code excerpt is from ButtonClass.as
public function imgLoad(buttonMC:MovieClip) {
imgLoader = new Loader();
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finished_loading);
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
var link=buttonMC.entry_thumbnail;

im using .addchild to add an image to a movie clip:
function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {
fn=fn+1;
if (fn==1) { panel.estadoimg.addChild(imageLoader); loadImage(datosXML.localiza);}
if (fn==2) { panel.mapa.mapaimg.addChild(imageLoader); fn=0; }
}
The think is that i want to reuse that movieclip, how can i clean it?
