How would I access/change the properties of every child with the name "thisChild"? Say I have three children that are all name "thisChild", and I wanted all of them to move up on pixel (or something like that). How would I do this?

I have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?
View 1 Repliesi've got an inheritance chain of AS2 classes set up where i have an array in the 'child' class that i'd like to be able to access from the 'parent' class:
bottomClass.as -'parent'
topClass.as -'child'
my question/dilemma is: how can the parent access the properties of a child class...is this even possible, or am i just looking at it wrong?

Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
View 3 Repliesi have problem with swfLoader in flex, when i close following code in click method i can easly add many swf to main application
<mx:VBox id="content" width="100%" height="100%" ></mx:VBox>
public function doIT():void
{[code]....
when i close adding those swfs in loop i have the same error, it looks like child apps couldn't access certain objects that were instantiated by another child app, so what can i do?
I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine
View 2 RepliesI have a mainSwf in which I load an external swf, which loads an external swf.( a child of a child). I am trying to set the framerate via AS3 for the childs child by using stage.frameRate= 15;
It doesnt work when the children are loaded into the mainSwf. how to access the stage of a child's child? I have tried root, Movieclip, this but can not get it to work
I have some code that adds a child using addChild(dragsquare); dragsquare is what I used as the class for a movieclip, mcsquare.
Everytime a child is added to the stage, it is called: ObjectX The "X" increments everytime a new object is added using ++objNum.
E.g:
Object1
Object2
Object3
etc...
When the child is added to the stage, it can be dragged, resized, rotated, etc...
I have used this code so when someone clicks the "save" button it loops through all objects on stage (increasing the last number by 1 to get the next object) and finding their properties. Here is the code I have used.
ActionScript Code:
Code:
save.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, saveObjects);
function saveObjects(event:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:uint=0; i<numChildren-23; i++) {
[Code]....
23 children already exist on stage so I have to minus that number to get whatever is added on stage by the user.
However, scaleX is getting the childs ORIGINAL properties and not its current stage properties (where it has been resized, rotated etc..) and only returns a 1 for scaleX. How would I make it track the properties it has on stage?
In Flex, how do you best manage child collection property changes, specifically notifying a parent object that a property within the child collection has changed.

How can I notify the Author when a Book propery has changed and update the dateOfFirstBookPublished method?
Basically, I have a menu created using XML. Each menu item has a fill that fades in and out as the user scrolls over them. What I want to happen is that when an item is clicked, it stays highlighted. The problem comes when I click on the second item. I can't get the first item to "unselect."Here is the menu code and functions.

var menuHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I have a holder movieclip on screen, then I create a loader, load an external SWF into the loader and addChild to my holder:

//Neither of these work: MyHolder1.bgloader1.alpha=0; MyHolder1.bgloader1.content.alpha=0;

Is there a way for the child of a movieclip object to not inherit the paren'ts properties? Because I scaled down the parent movieclip height and width and I'm loading external images into the parent movieclip and images are also scaled as well so I'm wondering if there is a way for it not to inherit the properties but remain inside the parent?
View 1 RepliesMy player movie clip has a smaller movieclip within it. Because the smaller movieclip is not within the parent clip it changes the x,y,width,and height value of the player movieclip and throwing everything off! To adjust I have to add (-2ndmovieclip.height) to everything i want to do. This is sloppy and I don't like it. Is there a better way to have a child within a movieclip without it affecting the parents properties? i want the parent to keep its original x,y,width,and height properties but the child keeps adding to them!
View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip in the library with the linkage name:BackgroundClip, so in the constructor I create it, add it to the display list and can even access and modify its properties, which I tested with the x position. Now what im having issues with is getting the stage resize listener to adjust the BackgroundClip instance, bg, to the stages width and height. In the clip is an image, so if someone has a better way of using classes to create full screen liquid gui im all ears![code]

I have a getter within a class which is used to make my property skin:DisplayObject read-only. This class also has a property body:AvBody which is used to define the x y width height etc of the object, which in turn positions the skin.
What I want to do is disable access to the properties x and y on skin unless accessed from within the internal namespace (where AvBody is also located) Is this possible?
Note: I can't make skin any type other than DisplayObject (I can't even make skin a class that extends DisplayObject because it creates issues with library symbols).

View 0 RepliesI need access to the properties of a file I load on the next line. Specifically, trying to pull the _height and _width off of it.
I think it's being bungled up because it's inside a function running two (nested) for statements. Let me post up the code for you geniuses[code]...
The width traces fine in the onLoadInit, but only AFTER the function that is creating and positioning the movieclips is finished running. They are nested in something of a complicated heirarchy so to save the widths in another array and then try to move them all later would be bonkers.
here is my code
Code:
package
{
import flash.events.*
import flash.display.*

does it have to do anything with ADDED_TO_STAGE event?
Let me just start by saying this forum is awesome, over the past 3 years I've found nearly all of the answers to my AS questions without posting once... That streak ends today.I'm building a site where the client is going to be able to upload various backgrounds which load depending on which tab they click on.
The class is BigBackground.as. It does the loading of the backgrounds, and then in the .fla I would like to manipulate these "BigBackgrounds" starting with the width. However, even though the width traces correctly from BigBackground.as, the width traces to 0 from the .fla file. I can access width from the class, but how can I access the width & height from the .fla?[code]...
I'm new to as3 and I was trying to make my own slider for a while until I found the slider component. The slider component is so perfect for what I want to accomplish. But the size of the little graphics is ridiculous. If you click on the line that the slider knob is on top of the knob will snap to where you click. This is great but with only 3 pixels of height to click on it's pretty much useless. I tried going into the slider movie clip and altering the individual graphics but when I run the program the sizes are back to their teenie tiny size.

Main movieclip onstage is : design_mc. Within it is a movieclip already in place onstage with an instance name clipart_mc.also loading a ListBox to the stage and each time a selection is made from listbox myLoader9 is used to load selected .swf intodesign_mc.clipArt_mc.Now within each of the .swf files loaded into design_mc.clipArt_mc there is a mc ike to color transform called color_mc.So now the listbox is onstage and I make a selection that places heart.swf inside of design_mc.clipArt_mc. I want to access heart.swf so I did this:
var child:DisplayObject = myLoader9.content.contentLoaderInfo.content.color_mc;
var colorTrans3:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
var trans3:Transform = new Transform(child);
