What I'm going for is importing a button from the library using this addChild thing. I've managed to do this with the preset button allready in flash, like this:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.controls.Button;
var btn:Button = new Button();

View 1 RepliesI can't access a loaded swfs library and add children from it. My mainContainer.swf loads in index.swf, within index.swf I have a movieclip in my library named page_mc that exports with it.
I want to add page_mc to the index.swf stage from an AS file that I import within my document class of mainContainer.
ActionScript Code:
Actionscript Code:
var x = new page_mc(); //page_mc is the class for the mc in index.swfvar mc = path.addChild(x);
I'm trying to simply add an instance of a movieclip from my library onto the stage using AS3 code. I've exported actionscripts for the movieclip in the first frame. Why does it want me to include a class name that is not being used by any other item in the library?
Also I call the library item like so:
this.addChild(box);
What steps am I missing? It keeps saying "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
Is there anyway in ActionScript 3.0 to assign instance names to movieclips in the library without assigning linkage id? I said that because I have over 1000 movieclips in the library that I need to be able to manipulate at runtime. I hope I don't have to Right Click -> Linkage... a thousand times to assign the linkage IDs. How can I reference to the library movieclips without having to name 1000 times?

I'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stageI can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.

I want to load multiple different movieclips from my library(mc1, mc2, mc3 etc.)with a loop and I can't seem to succeed with this..
each movieclip is unique and it would be a nightmare to code them.
Import the whole library of another fla. via actionscript, not doing it manually? Kinda working in 2 different files and it would be much easier if i could just continue doing that and just importing them all together in a 3rd file.
View 2 RepliesThis is my first post here and i'm also new with FlashCS4 and ActionScript3. I made some frames on Illustrator and exported the layers to SWF frames. When i import them to the library on FlashCS4 i get a bunch of symbols and bitmaps. I only want the movie clip and the movie clip is empty or invisible.
I've done the same with other Illustrator layers and some imports generate the symbols and bitmaps and others don't. The difference is that the ones that are imported with all the junk (symbols and bitmaps) are layers with a feather Illustrator effect.
I want to know how to import the movie clip only, or why does Flash creates all the extra items in the library.&What is the better way to animate with frames on Illustrator and use them on Flash?
I'm having a problem adding a library clip to my stage I can do no problem if I have a testFLV.fla that has a library clip called test_clip with the linkage set to: com.attach_clips.Clip.
import com.app.views.mediaDisplay;import com.attach_clips.Clip;
public class FLVTest extends Sprite { private var _mediaDisplay:mediaDisplay; public function FLVTest() { this._mediaDisplay = new mediaDisplay(null); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }}
If I use the same concept in my mediaDisplay class, the clip isn't added to the stage. Obviously it's got to be a scope issue since 'this' in the first examplerepresents the .fla itself but in mediaDisplay this doesn't have a stage object.
package com.app.views {
import flash.display.Sprite; import com.attach_clips.Clip; public class mediaDisplay extends Sprite { public function mediaDisplay(attachControls:Sprite) { var clip_1_mc:Clip=new Clip(); this.addChild(clip_1_mc); clip_1_mc.x=100; }; }}
how I could 'attach' test_clip to the stage from mediaDisplay?

View 7 RepliesIs it possible to import an .swc in the library panel... What I mean by that is to use it as a kind of shared library with my movieclip inside. I can create a new class from it but I'm wondering if its possible just to drag and drop from the library panel the mc's in my swc.
View 6 Repliesi am trying to import more than one mc at a time when the button is pressed but it wont do this, instead only 1 variable shows up

I have fla_A, and fla_B. fla_B contains a single MovieClip which contains a bunch of MovieClips that are all set to Export for ActionScript (NOT first frame, as this will need to be preloaded).

After loading the swf, I'm using:

I currently need the following for some of my AS code to function:[code]I have 3 MovieClip symbols which each have an "actions" layer on their timeline so I can add in some functionality.Do I have to import the above into all 3 of my MovieClips, or can I import the above on the main timeline and access it from inside my MovieClip symbols?Also is there a downside to importing the above into each MovieClip or no? This is my first time using functions which needed me to import things, and I just want to make sure I have the correct information on the proper way to import.
