ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild And ButtonMode?
Dec 14, 2010
I'm loading an icon from an XML file, then attaching that loaded icon into a dynamic sprite, adding it to the stage and trying to use the buttonMode method on it. For some reason I can't get the buttonMode to work. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var forumHolder:Sprite = new Sprite(); //creates new sprite
addChild(forumHolder); //adds it to the stage
var XMLForumIconLoader = introLoader.image.(@name == "iconTwo"); //loads image from the xml files[code]........

I'm trying to have a class file which can add objects to the stage via addChild; however, when I call addChild from within the class file, I get the error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild." I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

I have downloaded Box2d ([URL]) and created a project that looks like this: [URL]. catalyst is the green cube and it has the base class "shapes.box", it is inside "world" which has the base class "wck.World". What i want to do is to add another "catalyst" from the library inside "world" when i click on add_btn. I tried to accomplish this by this code:

Symbol 'buttons', Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 41061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type Class.

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'm trying to resolve an issue that reared it's ugly head yesterday.Frame one of main timeline I have the following code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]....
The newMC doesn't show up.If I add 'parent.' in front of the addChild then it appears.mc_LibItem has a base class of "flash.display.MovieClip" and is exporting for ActionScript and on frame one.For grins I created a new .fla and began messing around with the same addChild idea and it worked.

I'm using movieclips with nested text as buttons and labeling them as so: "work_btn"
the path of the button from the stage is: content_mc.work_btn
I've adding the following code to the stage to no avail:
content_mc.work_btn.buttonMode=true;content_mc.work_btn.useHandCursor = true;
The cursor still shows as the horrid I-shaped text cursor. I'm looking for the hand cursor.

I made a panorama (panorama_mc) with nested movieclips that I'm making behave as buttons. All works well in the panorama file, but not when I load it into a container in a different .fla file. I'm getting Error 1010 on the lines about the buttonMode and also just the EventListeners for the buttons.
Here's the code for the swf I'm loading into the other file:
close_btn.visible=false;
//defines measurements, in pixels
const PANWIDTH:Number=10061
const STAGEWIDTH:Number=650

I have a dynamically created MovieClip that contains both graphics-drawn elements and TextFields. When I set this MC's buttonMode to true the mouse will only change over the graphics-part of the MC although I have set the selectable-attribute of the TextField to false. I also tried adding a invisible Rectangle on top, but it didn't work either

The following code dynamically creates a movieclip "button". I also create a mask and a UILoader inside the original button to house an image. Works great. Unfortunately, the UILoader hinders the operation the the "button" mouseEventListener. How can I avoid thisHere's the code
var button:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
button.graphics.beginFill(rssXMLSettings.backgroundcolor); button.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0,100,100,25,25); button.graphics.endFill(); button.filters = [glow];button.y = 460;button.x

I just started fiddling with loading external swfs. I wanted to load a swf then add a mouse event to it. All worked fine, I can talk to the swf and rotate it and add the mouse event and it works. But when I tried to set the buttonMode to true I got an error
var loadedSwf1:Loader = new Loader(); var loadedSwf1URL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mySwf1.swf");loadedSwf1.load(url); addChild(loadedSwf1);

is there an easy way to set the buttonMode to true to all my buttons in my application?
I thought to create a custom component which extends the s:Button and set there buttonMode to true but I wonder if there is an easier way like with CSS.

I'm a newbie to ActionScript3. I'm tryig to create a basic slideshow in which the viewer uses buttons to advance through the slides/images. After testing my movie, I get the following error messages:Error message 1"1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton" When I double-click on the error message, it highlights this code:

i turned on buttonmode on a spark image and there is absolutely nothing happening there when i mouseover.
<s:Image source="..." buttonMode="true" useHandCursor="true" />
i know that an image isn't a button by definition and there are button classes for this, but can anyone maybe clarify if this is expected behaviour or is there something general i am missing here?

what could cause buttonMode to 'not' work properly?? the clip has MouseEvent listeners. I set the buttonMode to true. I have a trace statement inside the roll over event showing that buttonMode is set to true, but for some reason its not showing the hand cursor. the rollover,out, and click events fire as they should too..and i have other objects that work perfectly fine with buttonMode.

I've built a simple little XML gallery. Features I need to add.
1) ButtonMode when hovering over the the thumbnails. I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader." when I add it in.
2) One of the images loaded in is actually a SWF with a video that auto plays when the thumbnail is clicked. It play fine but when you click on a different thumbnail, you can still hear the video playing in the background. How to I property unload it. You can also see the last image behind the video player so unloading those would be great too.
3) As you can see in my code below, when you roll over or out of the thumbnails their alpha property changes. I want to make it so that when you click on a thumbnail it's alpha will remain 1 until another thumbnail is clicked and then it's alpha will change to 1.
4) Now this is the tricky part. I need to put an invisible "next" button over the large image that when clicked will load the next image or swf. It will also need to change the alpha property of the corresponding thumbnail to 1 so its matches.

somewhat understood the basics of adding and removing children, however, I am facing another problem. After using the removeChild Function, I can't seem to add another child.For example:

Page.addChild(attachedMC);

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

I am having a really strange issue where I can't get any hand cursors to come up in Flash Builder. Anybody else have this problem. I ran into a situation where I've had to convert a ton of Flash Builder projects just to get the hand cursors to come up. Weird this is if I open the swf's in Flash the hand cursors will show up. Once they get on the web though, though don't work. It's almost as if the buttonMode property will not work in swf's compiled in Flash Builder. I've tried with Flash Builder 4 and 4.5 and no luck. I told a friend, and he didn't believe me. So I asked him to just do a simple test in Flash Builder to create a Sprite and add it to the stage, add a click listener, and set it's buttonMode to true. He has the same problem, no hand cursor. I've even tried to set useHandCursor true with buttonMode, etc.

Basically I have an up and active state, and when the visitor clicks on a button and navigates that section of the site, I want the button to remain highlighted. In the AS2 days I would use gotoAndStop to jump to a frame labeled that area of the site. It worked fine, but using the same technique in AS3 causes an issue with buttons no longer activating as buttons.
Below is a brief example of my simple code. When the gotoAndStop jumps to the new section, I do replace the the up movie clip (such as people_mc in the example below) with another movie clip (such as peopleACTIVE_mc).
In this case if I had four buttons and clicked on the second button, the gotoAndStop would run as expected but the first button would no longer be an active button. If I hit the third button, then the first and second button are no longer active. And so on. What's odd is every button above the button being hit, such as button four, would still be recognized as a button.
stop();
people_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_people);
places_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_places);

If I set the properties of "buttonMode" and "useHandCursor" to true in DataGrid, it does not work as I expect. Only if I move the cursor to the edge between two rows, the hand cursor displayes.
What I expect is that no matter where the cursor is moved, it should always show hand cursor.
The following the itemRenderer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Label

Does anyone know why I can get a handcursor over a clip with graphics, but as soon as the mouse goes over a textfield it reverts to a pointer?[code]I have to set mouseChildren = false in order to get the finger pointer to come up over the entire clip:[code]I have to disable mouse interaction in order for buttonmode to be respected mouseChildren = false;Is there some property of the TextField I can set in order to have it react to mouse events but not affect the cursor?Or is the only solution to set mouseEnabled to false, or to place the textfield in an intermediate Sprite?
