ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Clip To The Stage As A Child And Remove The Parent And Set The Parent Equal To Null?
Sep 11, 2010if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

Jul 26, 2011Ive embeded my game.as file as a movie clip into a new .fla which has 1 frame for the game, 1 frame for the win screen, 1 frame for the loose screen and 1 frame for the intro screen.
So at the end of the game I do MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);

Flex :: Null Cast Between Parent And Child Objects?
Mar 1, 2011I have a flex application with two objects: a parent widget (called an IBaseWidget) and a child widget (called a HelperWidget2).When the user clicks on a help link, a helper widget is loaded into the list of base widgets and then displayed for the user.However, when I try to access this child widget by casting the base widget in the collection to the child widget type,the child widget returns null and I am unable to work with the widget.The following snippet correctly returns the widget ID of the newly added widget and dispatches an event to load the widget:
var id:Number = WidgetManager.getInstance().getWidgetId("Helper");
ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_RUN, id, openQuickQueryCanvas));[code].........
The problem is that helperWidget above always returns null, meaning the cast isn't successful.

View 4 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Why Is Casting Object (null) Not Null
Mar 6, 2012When you cast null to an object using Object(null), the result is an object.When you cast undefined to an object using Object(undefined), the result is an object.But saying null as Object or undefined as Object remains null.Why is this? I can't find anything in the documentation about this.
The objects that result from these casts can have properties set on and read from them. It's as if the cast created information, or removed whatever special information the null and undefined values have. But there's no indication in the AS3 documentation that the null and undefined special types are actually objects.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Null Object Not Null
Sep 5, 2009I am trying to add an EventListener to a MC, but I am getting the 1009 error. My script is referencing a MC that does exist. I have verified that my code is typed correctly, and that my instance names are correct.I am creating a portfolio site. On the first frame I have my main navigation (well, it's actually not the first frame. I alpha-fade everything in so it's really the 6th or 7th, but I'm not sure how pertinent that is). The main navigation works fine (5 movie clips, fyi). Clicking them will move to a different frame, and the information and sub navigation for the frame will fade up. It is the sub navigation that I am having trouble with.[code]
As you can see, it doesn't even get to the function before it gets thrown off. I have verified that the instance names are correct. The script and the MC I am trying to add it too [I/]are[I/] in the same frame, which is what's stumping me. Normally you get 1009 when the object you're trying to reference is not there, but mine is!!Obviously there is something wrong with my EventListener. I am not sure what else do; there is a gap in my understanding of AS.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use Stage SubClass As Root / Parent
Dec 19, 2010Is there a way to tell flash to instantiate a Stage subclass called "TheStage" instead of the default Stage class as root/parent of my document class?
public class TheStage extends Stage{
//code
}
Then when I do "DisplayObject.stage" I want it to return the instance of TheStage instead of the default Stage insteance. I want to do this so that I can override the addEventListener method of the Stage class. So if I call DisplayObject.stage.addEventListener I can execute my own code routine. Is that possible and how?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Targeting Buttons Parent Versus Root?

In each external swf thats loaded, the button actionscript is in this form:
HTML Code:
on(release) {
_root.gotoPage(2);
}
And this works when each swf is loaded stand-alone. But not when loaded as an external swf.With the numbers ranging from 1-19 as far as pages. How should I edit the code so that these buttons work when loaded externally?
Code:
on(release) {
