I have a class that adds to the main stage fine, but not inside an MC
var SliderTestClass = new SliderTestClass;
mContent01.addChild(issSlider); //trace says undefined
addChild(issSlider);//trace says [object SliderTestClass]
Why would it refused to be added to mContent01 which is a visible MC on the stage?
I have a MovieClip called item with the same linkage set and my first task is to display 10 of these items on the stage nested inside a movieclip called MainItem. I have dragged MainItem to the stage and have the following for loop:
[Code]....
I have the followings:
_p:Player (which is a MC)
a1:Animation1 (which is a MC)
_p.addChild(a1); //doesn't display anything
_p.stage.addChild(a1); //displays a1
Why won't the MC display a child without using his stage?
I've created a wrapper around Sprite called ClickableCircle, which is meant to add itself to the display list when instantiated. Here's a toy version:
public class ClickableCircle extends Sprite {
protected var circle:Shape;
protected var myName:String;

I currently have a button that triggers an event merging the movieclips on stage into one sprite, and passing it to a printer class. The printer class looks as follows:
ActionScript Code:
public class Printer {
private static var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
private static var printJobOptions:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
[Code]....
The problem is that when clicking the button, the stage gets a white rectangle in the upper left corner that can't be removed!
I have a movie, which on the click of a button will load a child swf.
The child swf has code which adds events to the stage object.
the child also accesses properties such as stage.stageWidth
When the child is ran on it's own all is fine, though when it loads within the parent movie i receive the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Home()
"Home()" is the name of the document class in the child SWF.
a) access the stage from a child swf
b) add events to the stage from a child swf
Im having a problem adding a child to a nested movieclip.the main movieclip is instanced when the user clicks on the create gallery button.the code then proceeds to create x movieclips(productFrames) with nested movieclips(imageFrame) with instance name:imageFrame1 & dynamic text frames(title & genus) & then add text to those frames & an image to one of the nested mcs
the problem seems to be with
productFrame.imageFrame1.addChild(imageLoader);
productFrame.genus.text="Loaded "+kbLoaded+" of "+kbTotal+" KB";

I'm successfully adding an external .swf file using the following code:

So - I'm loading the "graphic.swf" into a movie clip called "topClip" which is already on the stage in the main timeline. That works fine. But... then I'm having a problem addressing the loaded "graphic.swf" with a button (to lower it's alpha). I'm using this:
[Code]...
i tried a lot but couldn't fix the problem..
why is the following code is not working?
[Code]...
I have a button function the launches a small movieClip (like a window). Inside this movieClip is your typical keypad.
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Login extends MovieClip{
[Code].....
I'm trying to next a series of keypad buttons inside the new loginBox instance, so they'll be referenced as loginBox.key1 etc etc.
I want to set their x/y coordinates before they are added to the stage (loginBox.key1.x = 23) , but obviously they don't exist yet.
I'm missing the way to get around this. The very last line of the above code is my hack attempt so far, and it's still causing me problems.
If you have 5 or 6 different components in your library that you want to put inside of eachother from *.as files
If im usin function to add a mc to the stage like so:var myChild:MC= new MC();
function somefunc()
{
stage.addChild(myMC)

I am just starting out new with AS3 and I have a question about this block of code I have. i have checked this against I don't know how many examples and it looks fine, yet... when it's run, I get nothing. Traces on everything came out OK.

var sheep:mcsheep;
var xpos:int;
var ypos:int;

I'm having a very odd bug with ActionScript 3 in Flash CS4. I am adding movie clips to a stage in a for loop and then moving them out of view so that I can pull them in and remove them when I need them.
I've narrowed down the issue to a point that I know that every time one of the movie clips are added to the stage using addChild(), the stage shifts to the right by one pixel. I know that sounds odd, but it's literally true... the 0 line on the y axis is shifted to the right one pixel every time the movie clip is added.
Here's the code that is doing the work:
private function setupSlides():void
{
for(x = 0; x < TOTAL_SLIDES; x++)
{

I am trying to add an object to my main stage via the addChild() method. Normally, when working within the FLA itself, using addChild(myObject) works just fine. However, it does not work within an external AS class.
All of the other tutorials I have found showed me how to do something like this, which is not what I need:
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myMovieClip.addChild(myObject); // Works great, but not what I need
how to add an object to my main stage via an external AS class.
I just tried to add the movieclip "box" to the "container.holder". Both movieclips are on stage. Nothing happends with this script.
container.holder.addChild(box);
I've created a function that works on the main stage and I am trying to transfer it to an external class to make it an easily reusable function.When I run it however, everything works except for the fact that it doesn't put anything on the stage as it should. All the info it needs is there it's just not putting it there.Therefore I conclude that I am using the addChild(); incorrectlyhere is some of my code if needed:
ActionScript Code:
public function drawBoard(i:int, j:int, tiles:Tile, boardArr:Array, stageBoardArr:Array):void {
[code]....
I CAN add something to the stage using the Addchild... What i am trying is to add to the stage but in a PARTICULAR frame, lets say frame 50. Should i create a "container" on frame 50 and add my movie to that container?

I have an .fla file with 1 image in the library and 1 .as file.I have linked the image up with the Class name of libraryImages and Base class is flash.display.BitmapData.This is my AS:

I just wanna add an image from my library on the stage and have an event listener on it so when i click on it, it will do something. imgFromMyLib is already set to the image i want from my library.

How do I make sure that a movie clip that starts on the stage has a higher zindex then when I addChild and add a linked movieClip from the library.
Really my code is pretty simple
background_image = new Sprite();
main_container.addChild (background_image);
But I have a movieClip "message_box" that I dragged onto the main timeline. When i add the background_image which is the full size of the stage it overlays the "message_box"
I know you can set the childs index but how do I set the "message_box" index?
I have a movieclip with 8 frames and i would like to add each of the frames to the stage with addChild and with a different X, how can i do it? I was looking for something like addChild(nameMC[2]); //for frame nr 2 but i can't found any info related to this..

Does anyone know how to addChild(aMovieClip) to stage by using a static function, like:
public static var player
public static function LoadPlayer()
{
GameEngine.player = new Player
stage.addChild(player)
}
(Or better yet tell me how to run functions in different class without creating instances of them or using static function )
I have a function for shooting at the stage/baddies using the code below. This has two problems, one, when I click somewhere it fires their, but when I click a second time, it fires at 0,0 coordinates on the screen, then if I move the mouse and fire, it doesn't track accurately.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

I have a MC that I add to the stage multiple times using addChild. My adding code is:

I have a movie on stage that acts as a button using the code. person_mc.buttonMode = true;
I load an image onto the stage from my library using addChild(holiday);
What happens is that the person_mc button I have on stage will not function anymore, because I am presuming it is underneath the holiday pic when I loaded it using addChild.
How do I load the holiday pic, so that it is underneath the person_mc?
I know I could do what I did with holiday using addChild for the person_mc, but I do not want to do it that way.
I'd like to create a chain of objects (either movie clips or sprites) that move left to right across the stage continuously. I know I can create two movie clips that contain a series of several 'chain links' and are each a little wider than the stage width. Then I can move both clips across the stage and when the first movie clip is completely off stage reset its x position back to 0. Likewise, when the second clip is completely off the stage on the right, reset it's position off the stage to the left.
This works and gives me the basic effect that I want by creating this uninterrupted moving chain, but it doesn't seem like its the most efficient way to achieve this. What I thought would be more efficient would be to create each link in the chain separately from an individual mc in my library by programmatically adding new instances to the stage.So, I created a single chain link mc and set its export linkage to 'Link' and left the base class to flash.display.MovieClip. Next, I placed the following snippet of the code on the first frame of my movie:
Code:
var xPos:int = 0;
var yPos:int = 100;
