If I have the following on the timeline in my FLV, it works and attaches my movie from the library to the stage. If I do the same from my class, it does not.
var myMC:ToolTipMc = new ToolTipMc();
addChild(myMC);
I am not sure if this is possible, but can I add a custom property to the MovieClip class. I'd like to add a tooltip-functionality to some things so I'd just need a "tip"-property in which I can store a String. Would this work, or do I have to create a new Class extending MovieClip?
View 2 RepliesI have a MovieClip with multiple child MovieClips. I would like to add a class to each child MovieClip. Unfortunately, I can't just create the class and mc.addChild(class) because classes aren't display objects.

See the above script, Here I don't wanna add the MovieClip and button class separately using "addChild" like,

addChild(my1);addChild(my2);addChild(my3);
So I used for loop function. But it is showing error:

Does flash have an equivalent to Flex'sApplication.application.[insert application method or propertyI want to get access from an as3 class file to the mainstage. a call to this.root from the stage to the class will notwork because I need the root object stage to execute an addChild
View 6 RepliesI have been trying to add a movieclip to my .fla file from a class.my main fla file: main.flaactionscript file: script.asthey stay in the same directory.script.as file as follows:

Okay, so I decided to try putting some child movieclip switches into the .as instead of in the frames. After a lot of Googling and reading, I think I learned that each of those movieclips need to be in their own .as. Anyway, I tried to do it and the movieclip, which is located in the .fla library and does have export checked off, is not showing up when I play the file. The movieclip has this .as to itself:

I'm having a problem with my following situation: I made a class "Scrollbar" which I can use to create a scrollbar for a certain movieclip.This movieclip extended class (Scrollbar) has 3 movieclips (see code below):1 - which has the complete scrollbar1.1 - which has the background for the scrollbar.1.2 - which has the slider for the scrollbarNow, I'm trying to make an onPress handler inside my class, I tried to override the onPress() handler of the MovieClip class but it doesn't work.[code]

I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".
View 6 RepliesI have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?
I have a scrollpane in my library.Inside a movieclip, I create an image gallery and add it to the scrollpane.I do this in this function.[code]Now everything works fine, and no problems occur.I do however get the runtime error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.containers::ScrollPane/endDrag()It doesnt seem to affect my file, but I am sure it would be better to try and get rid of it.I think it has something to do with adding my movieclip to the main movieclip, and maybe.I am not removing it when I add a different movieclip.Whenever I add a movieclip to the main one, I use container_mc.addChild(...);Does addChild check to see if a movieclip already exist, and remove it if it does? Or do I need to remove my clips beforehand?
View 2 RepliesI have a MovieClip called chipmovie which I have exported to a class method called ChipMovie, when I try and add it to another movieclip, for some reason it doesn't display.
I have checked Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1.The code that adds it to the MovieClip is as follows:
public function addChip(chip:Number)
{
var newChip:ChipMovie = new ChipMovie();[code].....
In the output it says:
init y = -151 height is 0
for all the ChipMovie objects I try to add.
I am building an image gallery which has a very simple design. The gallery has a button area, where the buttons are movieclips, and an area where there are images, which are also movieclips.I am using flash CS3, AS3.Each time I use an eventlistener to tween the alpha value of each image (the brightness) when the button movieclip is pressed, I must call a command to reduce the value of every OTHER image that is in my gallery as well as increase the alpha value of the single image I want.This means I have a lot of typing and I was wondering if there was an easier way to manage my movieclips, such as to use the Array class or the Object class. However I can not seem to on the subject on adding a movieclip instance name and its property to a class that could store the data, or the reasonable command to select/omit other movieclips

View 3 RepliesBasically I want to create my own drawRect() for as2.normally, I would just prototype it:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.drawRect = function(x,y,w,h){ //etc.. }
and then I would be able to use it like:
Code:
mymc.drawRect(a,b,c,d);
Is there a way to make that function a class so that I can still call it from a movieclip directly? I read in another post somewhere about calling super.drawRect() in an extended class, but I'm not 100% on how to actually do this.So far I have what is below. I don't think I'm supposed to be declaring the mc var, but I can't think of another way to do it.
Code:
class drawRect extends MovieClip{
private var mc:MovieClip;
function drawRect(x,y,w,h){

I don't have much action script experience at all but If someone could point me in the right direction it would be awesome....I have an image gallery supplied from xml. I want to add a tween to each image as it opens, so far it works on only the first image, I'm guessing I need to create a mc for each image that is loaded so each mc can have a tween?

i've been getting difficulties regarding how to put a stage on a .AS ow should i declare it? I want to put my movie clip on the stage using a class only. i want my hero to go at the middle of the screen but it doesnt come out. here's my current code
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Stage;
[code]....
What i'm trying to do is create an errorAlert class. The role of this class is to as you might expect display an alert:) So the current class is set up in such a way.
1. pass in an errorcode returned from the server into the constructor.
2. This runs through a switch and sets a msg variable to the right textual prompt based on the code. At this stage it also sets an alert type, so as an example it could be a severe alert where the user has no option other than ot refresh the browser. Or it is a softer alert where the user is able to press a close button and proceed.
Because all of the type handling and everything is held within the class. I want to avoid adding the instance to the display list within the main document class. Ideally just letting the class add itself to the stage AND IF it is a softer alert, it can show the close button, add an event listener, and, then remove itself.
I am trying to make a "Achtung! die kurve" - like game in Actionscript 3.0. So far I've done the movement of one of the 'worms', and it works alright. I wanna divide it into different class files, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have a .fla file and 4 .as files. So far I only have code in two of these. When I put all my code directly into the fla file, it works perfectly fine, but when I put it into my player class, it won't 'add the child' to the stage. Here is my player .as file: [URL].
The reason why I commented the addChild, is because I wanna do this in my mainFile.as. This is from the main file: [URL]. I'm not quite sure how to call it in the main file, so I'm guessing that this would be the issue. All the files are named and placed correctly in the same folder, and flash says that each of my .as files are targeting the .fla file, so this doesn't seem to be the issue. How I can change the speed of my sprite.
I have created a custom class called SceneNavagation.as which i use to add my navigation to the stage. I was having problems getting the addChild to display my mc on the stage. So I passed the stage instance into my class and used that to attach my movieclips. _stage.addChild();
This worked but Im new to as3 and just wanted to know if this was a good way to do this below is my code.
package com.lessons{
import com.caurina.transitions.Tweener;

There we go. What i want to do is, I want to create an instance of the Player class, which then creates an instance of the Actor class, which in the _draw() function should add an image to the stage, but I can't figure out how to do that. I want this image to be an instance in the Player's Actor instance, so i later can move it around, the same goes for the user name text. how do i add an image and a user name text field to the stage at player.__x and player.__y?
For the game I am making, I'm using a self-made sprite managing system.I've got three classes: SpritesManager, SpriteGroup extends Movieclip and Sprite extends Movieclip.The idea is: SpritesManager is holding an object: "mainSprites", SpritesManager also hasa method "newGroup", wich creates a new SpriteGroup in mainSprites.In this way I want to make a system for creating and managing some sort of Movieclip-tree.For example:mainSprites.enemies.badEnemyThe method newGroup in SpritesManager has a param "name" wich is the name of the SpriteGroup to create.Here's where I'm stuck: how do I create a new SpriteGroup referenced to as "name" in mainSprites?

I'm trying to make a new method for the XMLNode class and I want to use this method in other classes of mines that manipulate XMLNodes. Here's what I did :
1. I wrote an Ext class which you can read here :
[Code].....
It didn't work (saying that myMethod doesn't exist), so I added this line "static var e : Ext = new Ext();" before "function Testing () {}" Then my method worked. I don't understand why but great.
3. The problem is that I want to use the method not only in the main function but also in other classes of the application. However, when another class tries to call the custom method, it says that it is not defined. I don't know how to solve that.
Additional infos: I'm using the Eclipse IDE rather than the traditional Flash IDE so I don't have such a thing as "the first frame". My app only has the main function.

If I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,
fla1.fla has a document class of MyMainClass:
public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip
fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass:
public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.
