Flash :: Parsing A MovieClip For Children?
Nov 9, 2010How can I reliably iterate through a MovieClip for every child?
I'm working on a game and a great way to lay out my levels is inside a MovieClip, with each frame being a new level. The problem is that when I move on to frame 2 or 3 and try to iterate through the MovieClip's children, I'm getting a different number (less) than is actually on that frame.
I think it's because the instances from the previous frame are being carried over to the new frame.
A simple solution is to create a new MovieClip for every level instead of a new frame inside each MovieClip, but this isn't the most scalable solution (say I want to remove a level or add a level between other levels, etc).
ActionScript 3.0 :: [CS4] Children Inside Children - 1119: Access Of Possibly Undefined Property NumChildren
Jan 12, 2011I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse_OUT For Parents & Children - Populates Itself By Parsing Labels From The Flash Timeline
Aug 4, 2011I'm trying to build a menu system which populates itself by parsing labels from the Flash timeline. As well I have a requirement to keep this all within one FLA file... so no classes or XML files. After 2 days I'm pretty close here, but have a problem with mouse_out's. I'd like to be able to move my cursor up and down the popped-up sub menu, but as soon as my cursor leaves the first sub button it triggers the mouse_out function.
I want the mouse_out to trigger only when the cursor leaves the entire sub-menu, not it's children. I believe this is a traditional problem and there's solutions but after 1.5 days of tuts and threads I haven't been able to manage it. I think I may just have to tweak how I deal with the submenu array.
Flex - Access Children Of Children Recursively?
Mar 10, 2010I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: (Access Of Undefined Property) From SWF Element
Nov 16, 2010I got this old code, that works. When I tried to compile, it gave many compile errors like
Code:
Error: access of undefined property foo
foo.core.searchButton.enabled = false;
^
for instance (changed the original for the sake of post size, it's so many errors like that with different foo's). So, I did grep the code and realized that there's no declaration of 'foo' in any of AS classes. None of foo-like vars are declared.
Then, I got the only movieclip file in src folder opened in Adobe Flash CS5 and there they are: all of those variables that hadn't declaration in code were names of button, text fields, etc in the SWF. Given that, I thought it was just some compiler argument I forgot to put, but I didn't find anywhere. I looked for alternatives but I wasn't successful neither...
ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Nested Array Element
Mar 21, 2011I've got a nested array containing a series of 2 element arrays containing an object name, and text related to that object.I've set it up like this:public var names:Array = [["instance name 1", "text for first object"],["instance name 2", "text for second object"], ...]];What I'm trying to do is to have the text related to the object appear in a text box when the object is moved.This is all set up within a class containing code for the drag and drop functions.If I set the text box to show a specific element, such as:MovieClip(parent).text_box.text= names[2][1];it works fine. But I can't get it to create the value for the first bracket from the this.name attribute.I had it working for 2 arrays - one with the name and another with the text where the code was;MovieClip(parent).text_box.text= texts[names.indexOf(this.name)]; (arrays named 'names' and 'texts', text box named 'text_box')I'm hoping there's something similar that I can do for the nested array, but everything I try gives me the #1010 error - term undefined.Is there an easy way to sort this out - or am I better sticking with the 2 array version?

Flex :: Access Children Elements In A SWC?
Feb 17, 2010Does anyone know if its possible to access children elements in a SWC? I have created some MC's and inside of some of these MC's I have some dynamic textFields. I export the content to a SWC and load it into my Flex project. No problem loading it or accessing the parent elements, they display fine. But I want to access the textfields nestes in the MC's and modify the text. When I debug the app, I can see the textfields as child elements. It's typed as a TextField and the Instance Name is the same as input in the Flash IDE but I cannot access it. When Flex compiles it throws an error saying it doesn't recognize the method. I've tried to insert actionscript on the timeline, linked external classes and nothing can be accessed.

Flex :: Cannot Access ArrayCollection's Children In Datagrid
May 22, 2009I've got a Flex 3 application with an HTTPService returning an Atom feed. I catch the result from it and store it in an arrayCollection which is then the provider of my Datagrid. I have no problem accessing the data from the "first-level" of my Array, but cannot go under it. Not very clear, so here is some code:
My XML [part of it]:

May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.
