ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Elements Created Inside Movie Clips From Custom Class
Feb 24, 2009
I have a custom class I am working on, one of the methods is:[code]Inside that function a dynamic TextField is created called txtLoaded, it is declared with [code]mcProg is added to the stage, I see the txtLoaded txt field drawn as well and I can trace properties of mcProg from elsewhere in the class but I cannot access mcProg.txtLoaded from anywhere else in the class.I imagine this must be a scoping issue, with txtLoaded only existing inside the createProgress method, but is there any way for me to be able to access txtLoaded from elsewhere in the class?

So I am loading an SWF like this:
ActionScript Code:
public function layoutLoad(e:Event):void
{
FlashConnect.trace("Display.loadLayout()");
[Code].....
It will compile but I get a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." So I am not targeting right. I did double check my instance name is correct and in the root of the loaded SWF

I am trying to set up a script that will generate a matrix repeating the same symbol X by Y times. For example, b(3,2); should generate...
OOO
OOO
...and after many days of being tested by this problem I have narrowed the location of my problem down to what can be seen up in the following.
Code:
for (a=0; a<4; a++){
for (b=0; b<4; b++){
var z:Number = ((a*4)+b);
_root.attachMovie("Light", ("L" + z), _root.getNextHightestDepth(), {_x:(a*45), _y:(b*45)});
}
}
For some reason, that loop will only attach one copy of my "Light" movie. I cannot seem to figure out why more are not added. I am putting that code on the first frame of my movie. There is nothing else in my project yet.
I have compared my array to [URL]

I created a custom MXML component, TurboContent, that extends the NavigatorContent class:
<s:NavigatorContent xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
[Code].....
In this case, the 'myButton' component never shows up, but all the elements of the base component do (3 buttons and a datagrid).

I've used the GUI to create a rectangle that I turned into a button symbol (SimpleButton). I then edited the button so that it had 4 different button states and a text layer on top. I then created a class definition file for this object so that I could dynamically change the label text (the text layer) when adding instances of this button to the stage.
I was able to create and link a class file (DynamicButton.as) just fine, but when I try to access the text field that I created on the button, I get the error:
"Access of possibly undefined property btnLabel through a reference with static type com.examples:DynamicButton."
when i couldn't get that to work, I decided I'd try adding the TextField directly within the class definition file, using the following code:
package com.examples
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
[Code].....
The problem is that I can't seem to add the TextField to the SimpleButton, as it's not a display object. So, I tried adding it to the parent of the simple button (and I figured, I'd just place it exactly above the button). But then I get a "null object reference." error.
is there a way to access GUI-created elements from w/i a class definition file? How would I add the TextField to the button using only AS3 inside of a my class definition file?

I couldn't work it out yet...
package components {
public class templateSelection extends VBox {
static public var tempSelectionBag:Dictionary;
[Code]....
I want to have a custom class tempSelection with a Dictionary as a public accessable property of that class. If I use this code, the compiler tells me:
1046: Typ wurde nicht gefunden oder war keine Kompilierungszeit- onstante:Dictionary
Which translates to:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Dictionary

I'm looking at the XML class. I would like to be able to access elements by name and the order they came in.
For example, if an xml document is structured like this:
<a>
<b>info</b>
<d>something</d>
<b>more info</b>
</a>
[Code]...
xml_object.childNodes.length will return the number of childnodes there are. But I don't see a way to get at the number of childnodes of a particular type. This will not tell me, for example, how many childnodes of type "b" that "a" has. I can't see Flash XML support being this sparse. Is there a built-in way of accessing the nth child of a node of a particular element name or am I stuck with accessing it only by number.

I have an <mx:Application> which contains a <mx:Module>. This module has several child modules. It also has some an instance of a class I have created. I am trying to have a method of this class dispatch an event that can be "heard" by the module and handled. This isn't happening.To be more clear, I am using 'dispatchEvent' to from inside a class method.There is an instance of this class in: mx.core.Application.myapplication.mymodule.myclassIt is the 'myclass.somefunction' that dispatches the event. I have a listener registered in 'mymodule'. Nothing happens when the function/method runs, however.

I'm working with Flash Builder 4.5 on an Actionscript project. I've created the following classes:
package
{
public class ComplexNumber
{
[Code]....
but the code inside this loop generates the following run time error: "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on ComplexArray." Thus, my code for "BXFN_complex[ii] = ~" is incorrect. Anyone know how to achieve what I'm trying to do? Basically, ComplexDivide.v1p0 returns two numbers, and BXFN_complex is an object containing two number arrays, and I want to assign the ComplexDivide two numbers into the ii'th element of arrays in BXFN_complex.

okay, i'm trying to create a full website myself, and inside my main scene movie, i have a movie clip for the content.. inside THAT clip on a frame for the links, i have another movie clip that has all the link buttons embedded... i've got those buttons set up so they stagger fade in as an effect... my problem is, they just keep repeating, and i want the fade in effect to stop after the first time. i've got a stop keyframe after the tween of every button motion, but i dont know the correct code for the movie/button clip itself to play once and then stop.. this is what i have right now, as an action on the movie clip with the buttons inside it:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
play();
}

I have a problem stopping multiple clips. I have created a presentation using flash and I have many movie clips which have sub movie clips inside of them. Ok lets look at one movie clip in detail. Inside one _root movie there are multiple sub movies; each with a different movieclip labels (each movie clip is named with unique labels ie. north, south, east, west, and What I need to do is be able to STOP all these sub movie clips with one stop, and in turn PLAY these same movie clip with a second action.
The only way I know how to stop all these sub movie clips is to target each and every one individually.

From one main movie, I'm calling a movie, put it into a target (everything goes fine here), then when I call the movie everithing goes fine but the elements inside the movie don't respond I'll tell you how it works. The loaded movie, has a movie clip that plays a few others clips in the main time line. When this movie get loaded into the main movie I mentioned above these few clips don't work, I see the movie getting loaded but these few clips don't work.

I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

I'm trying to build a relatively simple photo gallery where the images are loaded via XML into thumbnail movieclips that have been dynamically generated, positioned and added to the display stack. I used a simple for loop to generate the thumbs and traced the thumb.name to make sure they all had unique instance names. I then added a listener to the thumb mcs in the for loop and created a function that traces the instance name of each thumb mc, to see if all is working, however, every thumb mc traces the same instance name. My question is how can I create the thumbs dynamically in a loop and, essentially, make them buttons that would display the big the full size photo.
Here is my prototype code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i=0; i<12; i++) {
var thumb_mc:MovieClip = new thumb();
// Positioning: The xy coordinates are in an array outside the for loop.

I'm writing a FlashLite ActionScript2 piece of code. I have a series of textfields that are dynamically created and displayed on screen. I then wish to drag each of these textfields around. To achieve this I used some code from another flash site for dragging and dropping. I have two problems:
1) The txtMovies are dynamically allocated so each as a number appended to it, i.e. txtMovie0, txtMovie1 and so on. I can't figure out how to assign these in a non hardcoded fashion within a loop i.e.
object_array[0] = ("txtMovie"+i);
When I do this, it doesn't work. I think it's because it's not an object but a string. I tried using Object as a prefix to the part in brackets, tried [ ] etc... but couldn't get it to work.
2) In the function fnTxtMovieOnRelease I'd like to access the parameters (i.e. .text) of the selected text movie but, I don't know how to access it. I have no idea how to detect which of the movies are selected and thus access their individual text strings. I've tried to pass a parameter to the fnTxtMovieOnPress function but this then stops that code from working and I really don't know why.

get something to work. What I'm trying to achieve is this: there's a slideshow that automatically changes pictures every 10 secs (I've used a kirupa tutorial to achieve this). The pictures are loaded from an xml file, which also contains captions for the pictures. What I would like to do is to have the caption fade in and slightly move to the left with each picture change. E.g. picture 1 is displayed, caption 1 fades in, moves to the left and stays there; picture 2 is displayed, caption 2 fades in, moves to the left and stays there, and so on.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
