ActionScript 3.0 :: Traversing Display List Hierarchies In An Easier Means

Apr 15, 2011

I've been searching around forever trying to find a way to make traversing nested display lists more of a 1-line possibility.In AS2 you could grab a clip just by _container.clip1.nestedclip2.nestedclip3 and it was blatently simple.In AS3, is there any way to do that?So far my only methods are keeping a class level reference to important parts of the UI or doing a painful series of getChildByName chains until I drill down to it:[code]The casting makes the getChildByName method possible.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reset The Display By The Means To Start The Motion All Over Again (reset Button)

Jul 13, 2010

Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...

Flash - Sorting Display Objects By Their Display List Depth

Aug 5, 2011

I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.

Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......

My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]

Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A

Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).

It's my understanding that a display object cannot be in the display list more that once.So if I add something to the stage shouldn't a second addition of the same object replace the first? for instance:

IDE :: Why Can't Change The Image Of A Movie Clip Easier

Nov 8, 2009

[URL]

seems a little complicated for replacing an image in a movieclip with something else. It seems like a hack actually. Is it really so hard to switch a png (maybe of a different size) in a movieclip with something else? It also appears the livedocs at this time, are down. If it gets any harder I might switch to silverlight if it's not based off hack(ECMA)script

ActionScript 3.0 :: Traversing Through An XML File?

May 10, 2011

First of all, this is not specifically for homework. It's a project I've been working on for the past few months and I've kinda hit a road block. The short version: I've got a Flash file (which is a DJ program) whose main functionality is to play mp3 files, load the files a user uploads into a web page I made and let the user have the ability to choose which song they would like.

I literally have this almost completed except for this final piece: playing what the user uploads. More details of how I got here: I've got a PHP page that creates (or updates if you wish to call it that) an XML file. I'm not sure which way I should approach it (most tutorials online show AS2 but I've already made my project in AS3 and I've seen it's easier...yet I'm not able to figure this out).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Traversing Objects Through Different Classes?

I have 2 classes Main.as and RedPawn.as (yes, in the same folder).I am wanting to check if a child exists on a movie clip in Main.as through RedPawn.as.This is within a for loop since I am checking 24 possible values for _dest until I find a match.This simplified code example would be in the RedPawn class:

Code:
_dest = 'example_mc'; // example_mc is pulled from an array
if ( MovieClip(root)._dest.numChildren < 2 ) { // do stuff; }

ActionScript 3.0 :: Nothing Is Being Added To The Display List?

Jan 20, 2010

I've got MovieClips on the stage, both manually added, and added with code. I used this code to trace them all:

for(var i:int=0 ; i<stage.numChildren; i++) {
var myObject = stage.getChildAt(i);
trace(i);
trace(myObject);
}

All it returns is 0 and [object MainTimeline]. Is there something wrong with Flash, or did I do my coding wrong? The objects I put on the stage should be on the Display List, right?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Add To Display List From A Class

Sep 14, 2008

in my Main.as file, this works as expected:

var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.text = "hello in main";
addChild(t);

However, when I create an instance of a class, and I have that same code in the constructor of that class, the text doesn't show up. I am creating the text field variable at the class level, not the contstructor level, so I think the variable should still hang around.

Do I have to get an instance of the stage, or something?
