ActionScript 3.0 :: The Child Swf Has Code Which Adds Events To The Stage Object?
Nov 2, 2009
I have a movie, which on the click of a button will load a child swf.
The child swf has code which adds events to the stage object.
the child also accesses properties such as stage.stageWidth
When the child is ran on it's own all is fine, though when it loads within the parent movie i receive the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Home()
"Home()" is the name of the document class in the child SWF.
a) access the stage from a child swf
b) add events to the stage from a child swf

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

Is there a way to keep an object above a child that is being added to the stage?
Say I have a frame on the stage and I want to add different children to the stage, but want those children to fall under the frame that is already on the stage?

I have a class that adds to the main stage fine, but not inside an MC
var SliderTestClass = new SliderTestClass;
mContent01.addChild(issSlider); //trace says undefined
addChild(issSlider);//trace says [object SliderTestClass]
Why would it refused to be added to mContent01 which is a visible MC on the stage?

How can I get the X, Y, and rotation values, relative to the stage of a child of unknown number of parents?What I am doing is: I have a 'stick' object, that creates a child 'stick', that creates a child 'stick', etc a random number of times.The end stick then creates a leaf. Each new stick rotates a little bit randomly.As a result when my leaf falls off the final stick it flies off in a strange direction.How can I get the leaf to fall down (eg y++ relative to stage)?Alternatively I thought I could dispatch an event that has a leaf created at the stage level but then I really need to know what the X and Y co-ordinates of my final stick is realtive to the stage.

I've created a wrapper around Sprite called ClickableCircle, which is meant to add itself to the display list when instantiated. Here's a toy version:
public class ClickableCircle extends Sprite {
protected var circle:Shape;
protected var myName:String;

I currently have a button that triggers an event merging the movieclips on stage into one sprite, and passing it to a printer class. The printer class looks as follows:
ActionScript Code:
public class Printer {
private static var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
private static var printJobOptions:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
[Code]....
The problem is that when clicking the button, the stage gets a white rectangle in the upper left corner that can't be removed!

I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).

I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine

I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?

I'm creating a tree menu, and when you click a parent, it populates a MC inside that parent - children that you can also click on. The parent is a chapter and the child is a screen.clicking on the parent closes the children. clicking on the children should load a screen. But instead, when I click on a child, it acts as if I'm clicking on the parent.[code]

I just started to use classes in AS3. I stuck to event handling between classes. That's what I want to do, but don't know how to do it:
1) set up event listener in a child class
2) when this event in the child class is triggered, the child class, the parent class and several other child classes respond to the event.

I have game.swf dispatching events fine amongst itself just fine but I can't get the parent to hear anything.
I tried this in the main.swf
Code: Select allvar loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function gameOver(e:Event):void

I see a lot of tutorials about coding actionscript 3 when they use all the code in a Class.I keep thinking every time why they use it in a class, instead of using actionscript on the stage.why it is more functional to code a class instead of putting code in the stage actionscript?

`i'have a problem with listening events dispatching from their child classes. for example i have contentManager object which is controlling content at the top level of stage. it has a imageGallery object and in the imageGallery objectthere ise a collectionLoader object which is loading images.
now i want to add one preloader to contentManager which always listen for ProgressEvent. when the progressEvent dispatched i want to preloader going to active. becouse there is another objects that are loading images or other kind of files. i think it is a good apporach to solve preloader issue. so my problem is, when collectionLoader object loading images with using queLoader. my QueueProgress event dispatches ProgressEvent evey time, but my preloader object stand at the 2 classes up level, doesn't percive this event.

I have several sprites nested in containers. Let's say, that there are six containers (each represented by a Sprite) nested. I use the mouseChildren = false property on the container at depth 3, so the containers that lie deeper cannot receive mouse events. But still, I want that the container at depth 6 can receive mouse events

I have a _parent movieclip that receives mouse events and I want the clips inside the _parent clip (child clips) to receive mouse events also, but because of the _parent's mouse event handlers, the child clips are "interfered" with, or not received....how do I make it so both the _parent and the child clips can receive mouse events?

i am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).

EDIT: For whatever reason, it works in the browser but not when compiled/debugged within the IDE.I can't get my external SWFs to pick up on dispatches from my singleton event manager (EventDispatcher). Here are the particulars:
I add children from an external SWF using the getDefinition method to my main SWF.I'm using a singleton EventDispatcher that is in charge of listeners and dispatching.Using a custom event class.In this code, I am trying to get a mute button to tell the main SWF that the mute icon has been clicked (SoundClipEvent.MUTE_CLICK). After the sound has been muted, it should dispatch the event (SoundClipEvent.STATE) and confirm to the muteIcon the state. Currently, the mute icon successfully dispatches the MUTE_CLICK event and the main SWF document class is able to pick it up. MuteIcon (child SWF MC) hears nothing from the singleton.
SoundClipManager.as:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
public dynamic class SoundClipManager extends EventDispatcher {

I have a custom UIComponent that is basically just this:
public class WhiteboardUIComponent extends UIComponent
{
public function WhiteboardUIComponent() {
super();
[Code]....
This is absolutely the simplest that I could make the example. The s:View is gobbling up my mouse events - if I add a handler in the MXML to the View, I get mouse events just fine. When adding a handler programmatically in my subclass' constructor, I get nothing. I thought maybe the layout was wrong, so I explicitly set the dimensions of my UIComponent and stuck it in a border just to be sure it was where it was supposed to be - same deal.

I have this code that's repeating for 40 different instance names that play 40 different movieclip names.
Is it possible not to repeat all this code for every instance name? For example creating a function that catch the instance name that is pressed and plays the correct moviclip name?

I want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.

I want to make a movieclip invisible initially but i dont want to set it manually within the properties in flash because i cant then see it on the scene.i could add some code like so:
MC Frame one.
this.onClipEvent(load)
{
this._alpha = 0;
}
but I cannot. How can i set the MC _alpha to 0 for all instances without adding it manually to each instance or setting it in the properties?
edit: or creating a class for it just to set the alpha.
