how to access the properties of the movieclips which are created during runtime.
Ex:
var dotCount:uint = 0;
for(var i:uint = 0; i<=10;i++)
{
var circle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
[Code]....
How can I access a property (say .alpha or any other property) of "circle6"??
I need to dynamically bind properties of components created at runtime. In this particular case please assume I need to use bindProperty. I don't quite understand why the following simplistic test is failing (see code). When I click the button, the label text does not change.
I realize that there are simpler ways to go about this particular example using traditional non-dynamic binding, but I need to understand it in terms of using bindProperty.

I am new to Flex and trying to modify some existing code.I am trying to It uses and Advanced DataGrid. In the click event, the ListEvent is passed in, and the code is able to access properties such as event.itemRenderer.data.feature.I would like to check whether the user has clicked on a parent (group) record or the child record; at runtime, I can see that the property I want to access is event.itemRenderer.listData.hasChildren. However, the listData property of itemRenderer does not show up in intellisense, and when I try to access that at design time, the project will not build because of the error "Access of possibly undefined property listData". But the property .data.feature doesn't show up in intellisense at design time either, and that builds and runs just fine.
What do I need to do to access event.itemRenderer.listData without throwing errors when I build the project? Do I need to capture a different event, or cast the event object or one of its properties into another object that will have the properties I need at runtime (I've investigated these options but cannot find info on how to do that).
the variables listHeight and maskHeight won't populate. they come up 'undefined'.
here's the code essence:
Code:
xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
{
var stuff:Array = xml.firstChild.childNodes;
if (success)
[Code]....
Is there a way to obtain a reference name of each item on the stage. A reference name that can be then used to manipulate the object? (and how would one do that if successful in obtaining the name?)
As an example that is not working for me, if I drag to stage two movie clips and dynamically include 5 additional movie clips at runtime, this [code]...
I created a movie clip symbol with a user interface in it, using the standard components. It contains various components that I draged on the stage. I named the instances (e.g titleLabel). Then I created an ActionScript class for that user interface. Under the linkage properties of the symbol I specified that class. In the class itself, i declared the attribute "var titleLabel:Label". I thought this would be the same instance from the symbol? But: Trying to set the text of the Label AFTER the movie was dynamically added to the parent does not work. I cannot access any properties.
Here is the example:
My Class for the user interface:
Code:
import mx.controls.*;
class Information extends MovieClip {
var titleLabel:Label; //this is the same instance name as in the symbol
[Code].....
I am having problems while creating object with actionscript, I am new to it and I am getting some errors. I am creating my object this way
Code:
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myMC.x = 50;
myMC.y = 50;
myMC.name = "hunterToken";
tCursos.addChild(myMC);
And it is created, so far everything's good
Later I try to access the visible property, and I get an error
Code:
tCursos.hunterToken.visible=false;
And I get this error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I have a css that defines de skin-class for a custom component, like this :
view|PlaceHolderView {
skin-class:ClassReference('view.skin.PlaceHolderSkin');
}
Is there a way to change that value at runtime, so that all instances of the component switch skin?
I'm trying to remove movieclips created at run time using "createEmptyMovieClip" but I'm having a problem calling the "removeMovieClip" function. The difficulty seems to be that the string that I assign as the instance name of the new movie clip doesn't actually refer to the created clip when I try to call"removeMovieClip".
So the "removeMovieClip" function doesn't work if the target name is pulled from the array. My guess is that this has something to do with the values of the array being strings...and it does when I manually type Apple.removeMovieClip(); in because Apple is the movieclip object name. How do call the "removeMovieClip"function using a var as the target?
I created a SkinnableContainer runtime because I want to set some style properties to it, then based on some external data I need to create a new SkinnableContainer and add it as children of the first one. This children height can be greater than the parent container.How can I create a SkinnableContainer runtime with some scrollbars?I read in the documentation that I need] to create a new Skin. [code

View 3 RepliesI am having trouble trying to retrieve properties for a container_mc that dynamically creates content upon loading. The container_mc is creating text boxes from an array and so its _height is dependant on the array.length.
So how do I do this without getting 0:

View 1 Repliesim develloping an application for create a layout of advertising newspaper. the user can set the number of pages, and create rectangles represanting the adverts, then drag them and place them into the the representation of the page.the display list is as follow: on the main stage there is inputs textfields and a button that create the pages according to the number that the user typed.Then instances of the pages are created (MC Page in the lybrary exported for AS as Page and i have a class Page as well). Inside this clip Page i have my tools for create the rectangles and drag and place.....As well as the instances of my pages are created, button(1 for each Page) are also created. NOTE that Page and button are in the main stage My probleme is that i want my button to change the depth of is related page for it can be on top or alpha at 100% or the visibilty to true, but my button doesnt find the instance name of the pages at the export because they are not yet created.

I am about to create my first drawing in the adobe flash of some creature.
The problem is CAN i resize it when the flash is running (in runtime) by the end user.
Example: I want to increase the height of the creature.
well like the title says, ho can i set the properties of a mc's created with createEmptyMovieClip , getting a real nag , have tried all kind of things , for loops , etc.
for (i=0; i<=10; i++) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip(["rondje"+i], i);

If I create a class and set up one property which is a variable initiated at the start of the class but not within a function or a constructor and I reference the property from the .fla in a for loop as:Book is the class and myBook is the new object.
myBook:Book = new Book(); // (fla script).
for(var prop in myBook) {
trace(prop);
}
[code]...
The trace does not return anything. However when I include myProp (the class variable) in a function (other than Book function) and call that function from the .fla then the trace works and I can see myProp. Do I need to include Class variables in called functions (methods of the Class) in order for them to be properties of the Class?

I have two components (lets call them A and B) which have normal inspectable properties (e.g. NAME and AGE) which allow you to enter values via the component inspector. When I type the value for NAME in component B (via the component inspector) I communicate via a singleton class and store this value in a NON INSPECTABLE property located in component A.
When I run the movie, I want to access this non inspectable property within component A; however, it is always null - the value will not persist from design time to runtime. I check that the value is set at design time by tracing the A's non inspectable property once component B has set it - and it does indeed work, so I know component B has managed to set the correct value in A.Basically, what I need to know is, how do you persist properties of a component from design to runtime, without having to make properties inspectable and having to manually type property values via the component inspector?

View 2 RepliesI'm doing some work with JSON in as3 using as3corelib (very useful) and was wondering if it is possible to get an object if all you have is one of its properties, also an object. Here's an example of some JSON:
"parentObject": {
"propertyObject": {
etc.
}
}
so what i'm asking is, if I have propertyObject, can I access parentObject somehow?
I am working on setting up some simple AI actions for my enemy class in the game that I am working on, but I am having trouble accessing the player's X location within the enemy package to set up a detection function. I have defined the player on my Level package along with the enemy, and I defined the player's and enemies X and Y locations within the Player/Enemies package respectively.
Within my flash file I have linked to my Level.as file. Also within my flash file library I have two movie clips. Both have a square in them that are the same size but colored differently. One is called PlayerSpriteMC and the other is called EnemiesSpriteMC.

I have two movie clips on the stage at frame 1 and frame 2. Both are instances of seperate classes. (They are not dynamically created, just their linkage is set to their class names)I have created soundChannel and Sound Objects in Class 1 and I want to access them from Class 2. (I want to stop the sound channel that was started in class 1)Is there any way to do this? If yes, will this be true for other properties also?

I have two TLF textfileds in my application. The first TLF textfield is on the stage and the second one is created dynamically during runtime. Now I am able to embed the fonts in the first TLF textfield by using "use device fonts" since it is on stage. The flash player the rendering the data absolutely fine. I want to get the same look and feel for the second TLF textfield which is created dynamically during runtime. I tried so many ways.
Here is the code I am trying.

I ran into the 'fontswf' utility to embed TTF fonts into SWF and I am struggling to load them at runtime from my app. All the examples I find online refer to loading the font via [Embed] but I am actually loading them with a flash.display.Loader and from what I gather, once the Loader.contentLoaderInfo fires an Event.INIT I need to register the font, like so:
public function handleLoaderComplete( event:Event ):void {
var FontClass:Class = event.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition( fontName );
Font.registerFont( FontClass );
}
The problem is I don't know what to pass in as fontName. I am generating my SWF through:
$ fontswf -a belshaw -o belshaw.swf belshaw.ttf
But when I try to call getDefinition( 'belshaw' ), I get an error saying 'Variable belshaw is not defined'. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?The alternative is to generate my on SWF files through templating an .as file and compiling them, but I would rather use a built in tool like fontswf if it's already there.
