ActionScript 3.0 :: Working With The Main Stage Inside Of External Classes?
May 6, 2010
I'm working on a lot of different flash applications Most of those applications are visual and involves the main stage.I started oop a while ago and i got to a point that %99.9 percent of my code is extracted to different classes.There is one thing that repeat on a regular basis on all of my apps, passing the Stage variable to the different classes....It's working great but it doesnt feel right that i need to pass the main stage as a variable between the different classes,is there a better way to access the stage from external classes ? can i make the main stage a static property and access itwithin all the objects in the application ?

I've worked wioth sub classes so I know how they work but I always work with everything all in one folder which can get messsy when there are a lot of classes to work through. So i started to make folders inside of my main folder but it's not working. Thought it may be to do with package names but as far as i know, for the whole "classes in separate folders" things that's how they are supposed to be.

I have a movie clip that is a navigation window and I am trying to have some tooltip hover over the buttons inside the navigation window.
If I create a button on the main stage it hovers and works fine but if I create the same clip inside the embedded navigation window the tooltip does not show up. I do not have any error messages but it is not there that I can see.

I having trouble nesting classes then calling them on the main stage.I have one AS file that contains all the functionality to create a simple button with a text field that can be customized from the FLA file. I want to use this AS file to create another AS file for a form.I have called the simple button from the AS file into my other AS using import RoundRectButton.

I have a CustomSimpleButton class and a CustomSprite class which creates a bunch of CustomSimpleButtons and displays them at runtime. How can I access other objects on the stage in Flash inside of my two custom classes? If I want an object tween to occur when one of my custom buttons is clicked how do i reference the object that I want to tween if I'm inside of my custom class.

I created "symbol1" movie clip. And I have dynamic text "myscore" on the main stage.
I have this code inside of "symbol1".
mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, b1);
function b1(event:MouseEvent):void {
myscore.text = "30";
}
And it gives me this error. (1120: Access of undefined property myscore.)
It works only when text and actionscript inside of the same symbol. I tried like this root.myscore.text = "30"; but it still doesn't work.

I found this code for a contact form at msinghinteractive easy-to-use-flash-as3-contact-us-form-class and it dynamically creates input fields and buttons. I didnt like the dynamically drawn submit and reset buttons, so I added my own MCs(my 'buttons') to the stage. I tried modifying the code and took out the dynamically drawn buttons..However, I cant figure out how to add Event Listeners to the buttons which exist on the stage--Im getting undefined errors...The fla is directly associated to a main.as class which just determines the parameters of the .as class it is tied to -to set the size of the Contact form.This is the entire class:
Code:
package{
import classes.*;
import flash.display.*;
[code]....
where btn is the instance name of my submit button MC.My problem is that because my buttons exist on the stage I dont know how to add Event listeners within that class---or rather doing that doesnt work because the listeners are throwing that undefined property errors--I gave them instance names...

This is my first attempt at external as classes and I can't get them right. I've a button set up on the stage and an external as file with the following code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent.*;
import flash.display.SimpleButton.*;
public class myTasteButton extends SimpleButton {
[Code] .....
Basically I need to link an external class to the button, which will in turn when clicked play the beat_mc. I've given the button the class of myTasteButton. It's not working but I'm not getting any errors.

On the main stage I have a button that I have made invisible once the file is loaded. Inside a movieclip I have on frame 15 the following actionscript 3 code
button_mc.visible = true;
I want the button to become visible at the end of this movieclip. I am not using an external as3 file, I am putting the as3 code in its own layer on the first frame.
I know it has something to do with the path to the button, but I cannot figure it out. If there is anyone who can point me in the right direction for referencing instances by instance name that reside on the main satge from inside a movieclip

I have a movieclip and within it is a bit of actionscript and a couple of different movieclips to make it function like the button on a ball point pen (you click it and it stays clicked until you click it again).
var booleanClick:Boolean = false;
var colorTransform:ColorTransform = optBox.transform.colorTransform;
optHitState.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler);
function onClickHandler(myEvent:MouseEvent){
[Code].....
I don't want to get deeper into this monster of a project without making sure this is working first. Is my boolean working and just my trace statements aren't worded right or is my method to change the boolean wrong?

Is it possible to make a call from inside a MC to change a frame on the main stage (IE: scene 1 frame 2) rather than just frames within the MC? I've already tried going gotoAndStop("1,2") but that seemed to do jack.

i found a script that unloads my external swf inside a movieclip when i click a button on my main screen. this script causes the external flash inside my moviclip to close and unload when i click the close button, which is what i want!. the only pain in the butt is it preloads the external flash when you go the flash site and i dont want that. i only want the script to close the external swf. if anyone is curious book.swf is the swf in the movieclip i am trying to close.[code]

I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?

I'm importing a cool external photo gallery .swf; however I can't figure out the stage settings. I created an empty movie clip and added the import script in there. Works good and can align clip where I want, but the .swf file is not appearing as a 550px X 413px contained .swf. It stretches to fit the main stage.

The problem is this: I am loading 4 external SWFs into an empty MC on the main stage for each of the 4 projects.So you press a button on the main stage for a project, and it loads that specific SWF.These SWFs contain an opening text for each project, a button to "continue" to the gallery, then the text fades out and the gallery loads.That's all within the SWF itself.The SWFs work fine on their own, but the problem is that when I load the SWFs into the empty MC on the main stage, the "continue" button doesn't work correctly The SWFs load fine, it's just the button At first when I pressed the button it would send my main stage back to the first frame, so I thought it was because the AS for the button in the SWF was probably conflicting with the main stage and confusing it. I went back into the SWFs and tagged part of the SWF timeline with the name "togallery" so that when you click the "continue" button, in theory, Flash knows specifically where to go within the timeline of the SWF and not the timeline of the main stage.
That hasn't worked either. The button just doesn't work at all now, at least not when the SWF has been loaded onto the main stage. Again, it works fine on its own. So what can I do? How can I get a button within an external SWF to reference only it's own timeline and not that of the main stage?
