I've made a 'Layout' class and I want to access it from a 'Container' class, but my compiler shows 'access of a possibly undefined property' when I try to access a variable inside the Layout object. Here's the Container class.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.TextField;

I am trying to build a site with fluid layout. I have three classes: Preloader, Main and Background.Preloader loads main.swf and has resize function where it can access Background like so:
Sprite(loader.content).getChildAt(0).y = stage.stageHeight -
Sprite(loader.content).getChildAt(0).height;
Main has an instance of Background.Background draws vertical lines. It uses fluid layout on its own. Works fine.Here is the catch: Background utilizes stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight,when tested with separate fla works like charm. However, when accessed thru Preloader throws this error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I think it is because use of stage but I don't know how to go about it.It also uses its own resize function.
So, what is the best way to put it all together? Where should I keep resize function? What I need to do with stage object in Background?
It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example
I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I am developing an application with Flex for the GUI and Restlet for the webservices. I have a strange problem. I put my XML as a property on a generic object, and send it as part of a POST request. But in the Restlet webservice, this XML is irretrievable. How do I retrieve it? I tried initialising the received Representation object to a DomRepresentation, but thats not working. If I put the received Representation object into a Form object, then getFirstValue is returning that XML as a string! I noticed that the contentType of the HTTPService was application/www-form-encoded so I set it to application/xml and its not helping either. I use restlet 2.0m6 and here is the code snippet that I use -

View 1 RepliesI've got to access text inside a flash object. The preferred method is via C#, but anything that works will do. The only requirement is that I'll need the resulting information to be transferred back to c# code.Let's take, for example, this page.With fireflashbug, you can easily access individual elements inside flash object and read/change html texts inside each of them.To work, it requires Flash Debugger.How can I do the same from my own code?
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip symbol placed on the main timeline. The class linkage to that movie clip is Sheet. Inside Sheet class, I make a public string call _textRow. Inside the Sheet's constructor, I create a new TextField call values_txt. Inside the Sheet class again, I create a public function call updateTable().
The document class is Main. From the Main.as, I need to call updateTable() function to update the text inside values_txt. And I need to find a way to get to values_txt. That's where my problem lies.
Actionscript Code:
package{//imported stuff herepublic class Sheet extends MovieClip{public var _textRow:String = " Lorem
Lorem again";public function Sheet(){addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initSheet);}public function
[Code]....
Basically, I need to run Sheet's updateTable() from Main.as and update the values_txt.text with _textRow string. But I don't know value_txt's target path.
I created an array of objects and put an event listener on each of them. My problem is that when the object is clicked, I want to access a method inside the object's class but I do not know how to reference its position in the array. This isn't very clear but hopefully my code will make it clearer.
This line is inside while loops and puts an event listener on every square.

How can I know which square has been clicked?
Note: e.target returns the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property placeChar not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value.
I've created a card (that extends movieclip) in flash and after that I've created an array and pushed some cards inside of it. The name of the mcs is already set, but now, I want to add them to the stage and set their x and y position.
Code: Select allvar test:Array = new Array();
var testMC1:Card = new Card();
var testMC2:Card = new Card();
[Code].....
How can I access the property x of this card? The next code is wrong, of course, but it gives the idea of what I need...
Code: Select alltest[1].x = 100
// or
test[card3.x] = 100;
So ive made a custom message system for my game and the scrollpane component requires me to have the info inside one movieclip. I have a couple of textfields there that i want to change to some variables on demand. The vars are in an external as file and im able to reference them well on the main timeline. The problem is when im inside the scrollable object, all the vars return blank instead. This is the code which is placed inside the object:
Code:
import Variables;

i'm referencing variable names and object names dynamically such as:[code]i have 5 balls (insert joke here) which get all the same functions etc so i wanted a way to avoid making 5x functions to handle each one of the balls. Now one function can handle all 5, etc.what i can't figure out is how to use this same set up to reference a variable or object name inside another movieclip. if i have another movieclip named "myParent" for example, i thought i could refer to it with:[code]but this doesn't work.
View 5 RepliesYou will find enclosed a ".zip" file in wich there's a ".fla" file, a ".txt" file and 6 ".jpg" images. Frame 1 of the FLA only has a "Preload" class/constructor found on another site and works well. Frame 2 launches the graphic interface construction. The file "externalVar.txt" has one variable "maxVin" with a value of 6.
I would like to know WHY i can't acces this variable from outside of the loadVars object's scope (i would better say from outside of its ".onLoad" methode scope). In fact, when i trace my variable "maxVinNum" from outside of this function, flash player return "undefined". Even if i declare "maxVinNum" on the _root (_root.maxVinNum). For information, at the start of frame 2, i have let an instruction in comment: //var maxVinNum = 6; When we activate this instruction, then the variable is directely declared and everything works well. This test allow us to verify that scripts are not bugged. Here is the script of frame 2, some of you may understand quickly what's wrong :

I have an overlay that I pull up in response to a button click. This overlay is dynamically populated by a TextField, a MovieClip, and a Bitmap. I used to add them to the overlay with addChild() and induce a index out of bounds error to make them go away (I was in a hurry and I don't think I'm using removeChild() right). Well, I decided to do it better and dynamically change the object inside the holding variable. However... the Bitmap is gone. It won't appear. The overlay puller function takes a data-holding class I made and the picture is a BitmapData object.
I can't use the line new Bitmap(picture) because it doesn't work; that makes nothing appear. So, I guess my question is can I store a line of text in a variable and then use that variable as code? Like... Could I have something like this and get an image as an output? I imagine it could be done with XML, but is there another way? I tried storing the constructor in a variable and calling it with object.constructor, but I don't know if I was using it right and it didn't work.

I have all of my content inside of a movie clip placed on my stage and through timeline AS 3 I have a simple scripting that aligns and sizes that MC (and all of its contents) to keep proportion with the stage and to fill it at all times I am having 2 issues
after the preloader, and intro play the content for the gallery pages (it is a photo website) clips the buttons down at the bottom (all dependent on browser size at the time) however once the window is resized, it Snaps into a proportion that I like. the second issue is more than likely related. the mc that I am using as the background (ecru texture) does not fit to fill once the screen has been resized I have minimized the noticeability by changing the background color to come close to my texture but I would like to know why these issues are happening. here is the development page [URL] this is my main timeline code

Using Flash Pro CS4/Windows Vista: I have a table layout which breaks apart in Firefox leaving gaps between cells after inserting a SWF file.
I have inserted the file using the Insert>Media>SWF command in Dreamweaver and uploaded the SCRIPTS folder.
When I remove the SWF object, the file displays perfectly (with an empty cell where the SWF object should appear) The SWFobject is 2 pixels narrower than the containing cell (cell: 227w X 146h; SWF 225w X 146h)[URL]..

is it possible to create instance inside method of another instance? But I want new instance to be sibling of instance where it was created.something like this:
ActionScript Code:
parent = new Parent();

Child class would have this onclick event function:
ActionScript Code:
public function child_click(e:MouseEvent):void {
childB = new Child();
}
I want "childB" to be child of "parent", no property of childA. so I could do:
ActionScript Code:
parent.addChild(childB);
how is this possible without passing "parent" instance as parameter?

should it be something along the lines of root.myList.dequeue? or stage.myList.dequeue? How can I access that function?
