ActionScript 3.0 :: XML To Populate Movieclips Added To Stage
Jul 21, 2010
OK, I'm new to AS3, and this is the biggest thing I've tried to do. I'm simply at a loss for the right path to take to accomplish what I want to do. In a nutshell, here's what the end result will look like: The stage will contain a large (on X size) movieclip with a scrollbar (not important to this discussion). This movieclip is created using AS3. The large movieclip is populated with many smaller movieclips created from a template in the library. This template contains some dynamic text fields (let's call them text1_MC and text2_MC). The dynamic text for each smaller movieclip is provided from an XML file containing the text1 and text 2 data.

here is a very simple code
for ( var i = 0 ; i < 10000 ; i++)
{
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
addChild(mc)
}
What is the memory accumulated by this code ? Any flash util's keyword i may use ?

I cannot modify the asset.swf.

I am using a gallery written in AS3.0 called SlicedCubeGallery. It used Flex to publish the gallery.I can edit the functions for the SlicedCubeGallery, and the one I am targeting is the one that swaps the images (which I have running on a timer).I am loading the whole gallery SWF onto my stage using this code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("slicedCubeGallery.swf");
cubeGallery_mc.load(request);
addChild(cubeGallery_mc);

I have a set of movieclips that are added as children to a parent mc. I want to scale the parent mc up but keep one of the mc's in the same place on the stage. I think the easiest way to do that is to scale the mc up, calculate how far the child mc moves and move the parent an equal amount in th opposite direction. Everything works but I can't for the life of me wrap my head around the math required to calculate the distance to move the parent mc. Has anyone else tried this? Is there an easier way that I don't know about?

I'm more of a Flex than Flash developer so I'm hopeful this is something easy. Short story, I have a scrollpane in a flash-created swf. In my pure AS3 project I dynamically create menuitems within a new movieclip.

I have a question about Tweening for dynamically added movie clips: In Main.as constructor file I added a movie clip:
addChild (new Arrow());
in Arrow.as I want the new arrow to tween as soon as it is added by Main.as file.
To do so, in Arrow.as I put this code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
mport fl.transitions.easing.*;
...
private function onAddedToStage(event:Event):void {
tween= new Tween (this, "x", Regular.easeInOut, x, 400, 60, false);
}
But "this" seems not to work because the file simply adds my movie clip to the stage without tweening or error messages. What I should put instead of "this" in the Arrow.as? Or any other options to tween this movie clip?

I have a bunch of movieclips which were created by "addChild" method. These movieclips are added to "gamecontainer". There was a dynamic textfield in each movieclip. Now the problem is how can I change the text in the dynamic textfield inside each movieclip outside this function.
Here is the code:
private function arrangeClips():void {
for (var i:uint=0; i<7; i++) {
var tile_mc:whiteTail=new whiteTail();

1) I want to count the number of movieclips(in different class) added. That is, may be I have 10 clicks, how many bigfish and smallfish are created. What function is suitable to call for doing this.
2) I have a problem on the hittest, it comes out "no hit" only but I still can see the movieclips overlap. And if I want to modify that only check whether smallfish is overlap with bigfish, what should I do? Also, there are functions inside the movieclip itself to give motion.[code]

I have a holder movieclip, its base class is foo.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Foo extends MovieClip {
public function Foo() {
[code]....
Suddenly, all the little bar movieclips within foo revert to regular old movieclips and don't fire.[URL]It still has its children, they're added and displayed, but their type changes to MovieClip, ignoring the base class.

I have a class called shapeC that only creates a rectangle and then addChild(rectangle);. That class is instantiated on the main timeline. Currently, the only way you can see that rectangle is to add the instantiated class to the stage via addChild(shapeC);. My question is, is there a way that the shapeC class can add the rectangle to the root stage without requireing the instantiated class to be added to the stage?

I have a holder movieclip, its base class is foo.[code]I put a trace in the constructor of bar so I can tell if it's being loaded properly, and when I drag out foo onto the scene and run the clip, all the little bars within it fire off correctly. However, when I add it to the scene dynamically, such as like this in the Main class:[code]Suddenly, all the little bar movieclips within foo revert to regular old movieclips and don't fire. What's interesting is if you typecast one them as Bar at some point, and their normal class is set to Bar (within the movieclip itself, rather than base class), it works and the constructors all fire, like this:[code]However, if you want multiple different types of Bar clips, and give each a base class of Bar, this won't work. They all spawn as generic movieclips. It DOES work if you go through and typecast them as either Bar1 or Bar2, but that means in practice you would have to try to typecast every child as every top-level object type every time you added the clip to the stage. You also can't have a bunch of movieclips of the same type since Flash doesn't allow it, so each one needs to be a new class, and have that class typecasted when the parent is placed on stage. Kind of defeats the purpose of OOP.
This seems to be a bug in Flash itself, but is there any way to fix it?You can download an example file here with a couple extra traces to show off what's going on: url... It still has its children, they're added and displayed, but their type changes to MovieClip, ignoring the base class.

Looking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}

've been trying to figure out how to refer to the stage from a Sprite before it is added to the stage.
I'm working on a small program in which I plan to use external classes for each "window" that comes up. I've made the window classes extensions of Sprite. I'd like to make this window add itself to the stage when its constructor is called, and then just remove it from the window class when I'm finished with it. Is this a good idea? I'll post some of my code to show you what I mean.
This code doesn't work. I get the error "type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Stage"
From my window class:
ActionScript Code:
public class PlayerSelectionWindow extends Sprite{
var stg:Stage;

I'm looking for ways to use movieclips that I've added on the stage in ActionScript. I can't just adress the movieclip by its name because apparently AS3 won't recognize a movieclip name if you haven't created it within the script.
The way I'm going about it now is to check the instance names of every child on the stage (with a for-loop from 0 to numChildren) and if the name starts with a certain text, I create a movieclip in ActionScript like so[code]...

I want to be able to mask an object that has been added to the stage using 'addChild'. This is what I have so far, but it does not seem to work.
Code:
var skyMask:mcSkyMask = new mcSkyMask();
skyMask.x = 0;
skyMask.y = 0;
addChild(skyMask);
var cloud1:mcCloud1 = new mcCloud1();
cloud1.mask = skyMask;
cloud1.x = 7.5;
cloud1.y = 57.7;
addChild(cloud1);
Basically, the cloud is going to move across the sky then get hidden by the mask so it does not appear on the background stage.

I have this slight problem with the event ADDED_TO_STAGE. The listener is launched twice so I figured the event is dispatched twice.
Here is my .fla code :
var section:SectionStructure = new SectionStructure("xml/list.xml")
addChild(section)
The Section Structure code :
[...]
mainHolder = new MovieClip;
mainHolder.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, displayObjects);
addChild(mainHolder);
} private function displayObjects(pEvent:Event):void {
mainHolder.addChild(sectionMenu);
}
[Code] .....
The output panel displays "test A" once and "test B" twice. I fixed the problem by adding this little line on the opening of the function createButtons :
menuHolder.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, createButtons);
I read here and there that the event ADDED_TO_STAGE is dispatched when children are added but my problem remains even when I comment everything below this line :
trace("test B");

I'd like to make a counter in AS3.0, in a document class file, for a Flash project, whereby the counter counts the number of movie clips added to the stage.The current document class is set up with a number of timers, an "ouber"timer, which activates three additional timers every 500000 milisecs, while the additional timers add different movie clips to the stage, each adds a different amount and at a different rate.And, i'd like to add some code to this AS file, to tell flash to count how many mcies and if 20 is the sum of the mcies on the stage, stop the timers and remove the mcies.

I'm going to start by saying that i am very new to flash and the concept of Stage is still very new to me.
I have the following problem: at a given time i have:
var foo:MyClass() = new Class();
stage.addChild(foo);
...
foo = new myClass();
stage.addChild(object);
so now i have two or more foo objects on stage. my variable is for one foo, and i need to remove them all from the stage.

Is it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.
