ActionScript 3.0 :: Unable To Reference Child Display Objects Of Clip Imported From Library?
Jun 17, 2009
PBar contains two SimpleButtons (pBarProgress and pBarLoaded) and a MovieClip (pBarBg).I import pBar from the library like this:private var pBar:PBar = new PBar();and add it to a container MC on the stage like this:containerMC.addChild(pBar);Up to this point, everything works great. I can see pBar and its children on the stage when I run my movie. But then I want to start referencing and manipulating pBar's child objects, but nothing I do works. Ive tried ...pBar.pBarProgress.scaleX = 0;var pBarProgress:SimpleButton = Bar.getChildByName("pBarProgress") as SimpleButton; pBarProgress.scaleX

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 need to create an object in code which can then be imported to the stage. Specifically it's a circle with an ellipse cut out of it. The size and position of the ellipse masked out need to be parameterized by sliders, and the size of the circle as a whole is also a parameter which might be dragged out on the stage.
Does anyone have an example of how to programatically create an object in action script which can be imported to the library which can take parameters (or rather expose some methods) which can be wired to other things in the project like a knob or slider?

I am using CS3. And this is all about understanding Identifier and Class from the symbol property under Linkage.
I read some articles where all are using class instead of attachMovie() method on TimeLine.
Its confusing to me and couldn't able to make it work.
The article I read says that attachMovie() method will be in class file.

I have a movie clip in my library and I would like to display it on the stage using AS3.
do I have to define it as a variable?Do I need to use this code: addchild(movieclip); can I use the 'x' and 'y' to position it?
What would the code look like?

In my child swf I am using the sound from library with "attachSound". I also use the play/pause button controls of this sound alongwith the other animation.Now when I load this into my main swf file with "loadMovie", It plays fine but no sound. I found that this is due to no sound linkage in my main file library.I want to share my child swf's library with main file's library.

I have an swf file, MyRoundButtons, which is a set of radio buttons I built (not components). It works fine, but if I import it into a parent it won't work anymore. I have to write a script to load it into a movieclip, (which I hate, because I'll have a several different swfs to assemble on my final stage. I really want to see them all on the stage together, not just at runtime.)
Even when I load it into a clip and the buttons work, however, it doesn't seem to have a separate timeline when double-clicked ,and:I can't make the imported buttons control the timeline of the parent.I defined a test function:
Code: Select allfunction goToNirvana() {gotoAndPlay("nirvana")};
Frame "nirvana," in th parent, has a Trace instruction in it.
goToNirvana works on its own in the parent. [code].....
Whether I define that function in the child, the parent, or both, the instruction won't work. Now, I'd prefer not to do the loadMovie thing at all if I can avoid it, I'd rather have fully rendered button clips onstage at authoring for me to arrange and move about, with fully independent timelines right there. But you see what I'm trying to do. I just can't get it done.

I have a mp3 file that is 2:30 long and is roughly 5.5mb. How come when I import the file to my fla library it sees it as being 29mb large. My swf isn't large when I compile the project but the fla file jumps from 2mb to 30mb just from adding this sound file. P.S. This site has been a ton of help with different aspects of my flash project.

I'm trying to make methods available like so:
ActionScript Code:
MyClass.myFunc();
Instead of
ActionScript Code:
var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
myVar.myFunc();
I know that to do so I need to declare the functions/variables/constants as static:
ActionScript Code:
package MyPackage {
public class MyClass extends Object {
public static function myFunc():void {
} public function MyClass() {
[Code] .....
When I try to access the static function through the full reference (i.e trace(MyPackage.MyClass.myFunc);), it works, while trace(MyClass.myFunc); returns undefined. This contradicts what I've read in tutorials and posts on the Internet. They all use the short syntax, not the full path.

I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search.

Is there anyway to use the playback components to play a video imported into the library? (The .swf I'm creating has to be stand alone so I need the video to be imported). Also can the component video skins be imported also?

I am having problems with building my webpage with Flash. I have imported the the swf files I want in my library but when I try to put them into folders my computer seems to seize up and takes a few minutes to do the job and can be very slow and I am unable to anything on PC while it is doing this. I have not incounted this problem before on my PC but I have had it for over 5 years now and I am due to buy a new PC in spring next year when Windows 7 is released on all new PCs. I am using windows XP with all the updates available plus upgraded to 1GB memory last year. Is my PC to old to work with FLASH CS3 or is it another problem entirely?

or I can't call them, they should be included in the exported .swf or .exe file I guess what I need is something like an actionscript that would call the images imported to the library is that possible or is there a gallery like that?

How do you tell flash to stop Looping a stream sound that is imported from the library via Linkage method into AS3? I understand the idea of soundChannel that control the sound.
PHP Code:
block_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterframe);
function enterframe(event:Event):void{
if(block_mc.hitTestObject(circle_mc)){
myChannel= mySound.play();
}else{
myChannel.stop();
The above is a drag and drop situation, so when the block_mc is no longer hitting the circle_mc, the sound echoes or loops multiple times before coming to a stop. Any clue how to rectify this. How do you use onSoundComplete in AS3.

I have a flash file (banner ad) that uses some jpgs that I imported onto the stage. When I publish the file... It won't include the images. If the images are in the same folder as the swf.. it will work. However, just the SWF on its own will not display the images. Any ideas?

I've just started to work with DoubleClick Studio. I've successfully created a Flash expanding ad with CS4 that is mostly scripted and uses the Document class option. Now for some reason the back end of DoubleClick Studio thinks I've imported the Enabler component twice. I've checked my files numerous of times but can't find the root cause.

I am currently working with a contractor company that is hosting a flex based website. They are putting the swf files that I have developed into their flex site. The issue that I am having is that within my swf file I need to reference the stage. I do this by "MovieClip(parent).stage"... I do not use the keyword "root", I just reference my swf's root through however many "parent"s i need. It works fine when I publish on my own, outside of their flex site. When it is used in the flex site, they are getting an error that they cannot reference the stage/ stage is null. It is vital that I am able to reference the stage of my swf.

I fought with the IDE and read around all day enough to learn that in AS3, the exported class name of a lib symbol matters.I have hello.fla. In it I created a simple textfield with a string ('hello') - coverted it to a symbol (movieclip) and did the following:
made the classname 'Hello'.
Export for AS is checked
Export in first frame is checked.
Once i did all that i nuked the instance on the stage. I thought I might add some extra functionality later so I actually also built a Hello.as class, which extends MovieClip, and which lives in the default pkg* and the whole fla builds fine:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....

When using Loader class to load display objects (bitmaps, SWFs...) from remote URLs, is there any way for them to be instantiated (referenced as we know, by Loader::content property) as some user specified valid subclass? For example if I had a class that extended a Bitmap, is there any way for the loaded object to be of this class?
