ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild(e.currentTarget) - Bring Cards Out Of Their Parent Column And On To The Main Stage When They Are Selected
Sep 30, 2011
I'm working on a spider solitaire game and I need a way to bring cards out of their parent column and on to the main stage when they are selected. Here's my current code:
[Code]...
However, the above gives me an error on the stage.addChild line. "1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possible unrelated type flash.display: DisplayObject."

I'm currently making a platform game and when the player shoots i want to add the bullets to the stage. The players gun class is in charge of adding bullets. The "players gun" is a child of "players gun holder" which is a child of "player" which is a child of the stage. is there a better or more dynamic way for the "players gun" to add bullets to the stage rather than using parent.parent.parent.addChild (bullet);

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 just trying to add the mc's from the array into a column but don't know how to gain any control over them since right now, they're just all overlayed on top of eachother .
Code:
var myArray:Array=["mc1","mc2","mc3","mc4","mc5"];
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
var classRef:Class=getDefinitionByName(myArray[i]) as Class;
addChild(new classRef());
}

I have a game set up like so:
DOCUMENT CLASS -->
MASTER LEVEL -->
LEVEL OBJECTS
The MASTER LEVEL is a child of the DOCUMENT CLASS and the LEVEL OBJECTS are a child of the MASTER LEVEL
The MASTER LEVEL is just a border which also shows the time that has passed. The LEVEL OBJECT are stuff like the player and the finish.
The problem is that I can make the player and finish swap depths using setChildIndex but I don't know how to bring the master level in front of its children? Is this even possible or will I have to make a level container that is the parent of the LEVEL OBJECTS and also the MASTER LEVEL. So that the MASTER LEVEL, the finish and the player are all siblings (sort of).
So I am trying to bring a movieClip in front of its movieClip children.

I have a package that scales a pic up when the pic is moused over. Also in the .fla that references that package, I have code that loads the pics into movie clips on the stage(using XML).
My problem is that when I mouse over the pic it goes behind the other pics that are next to it. The moused over pic needs to appear above the surrounding pics. I know this is an addChildAt / indexing issue. I'm just having trouble working it into my code.
Actually, the package code (PhotoScaler.as) has a line that is supposed to make the moused over mc go above everything else, but it doesn't work when I add a pic to the symbol
Here is the Package code:
Code:
package AS3code {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

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 have a project, where I am selecting a scene based on the information in a Tree's XML data provider.
As you can see in my XML below, I've got two scenes. Each have a view001 attribute, which only exists at the highest level in the tree hierarchy. What I need to do, is to find out the information stored in this attribute.
I need to see only the one that contains the currently selected item in my Tree (named treeView, dataProvider is the xml file, labelfield is .@name).
One problem I do know I have, is that I'm only checking the first parent(). My problem is, that I don't know how to "step" through the XML, to go up one parent at a time.
This is my function:
public function getParentItem():XML {
var selectedItem:XML = new XML(treeView.selectedItem);
while(selectedItem.@view001.toString() == "") {

I have a XML based Tree Control. The XML Structure is recursive, so the children's can have the same Element as the parent. I now want to let the user add and remove the elements. Do do so I need to get the parent element of the selected Item. Following code I already collected together:
var selected:XML = treeControl.selectedItem;
parent.insertChildAfter(selected:XML, newElement);
I just don't know how to get to the selected parents node as there is no such method like treeControl.selectedItem.parent.

I am trying to figure out how to open a pop up window in my Air application, in a secondary Window, instead of the main application window.I am using the ReusableFX components, which include a custom DataGrid with filtering and other capabilities. The filtering feature displays a pop up window via PopUpManager when you click on the top of a column in the grid.
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as DisplayObject);
The problem is that the pop up window opens in the main application - I am assuming because of the 'topLevelApplication' reference.So, I need a way to open this window in the current Air "s:Window". I am assuming I need a way to walk up : this.parent.parent or this.owner.owner - though I have tried that and it did not seem to work (it said null reference).OR, is there a way to get the current top most window / component (NOT the main application / window)?
Update:I decided to create a new project for the component, and add in the Air libraries. Now I am able to access the "NativeApplication.nativeApplication.activeWindow" call. That gives me the correct Air window. However, it does not seem to be working:
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, NativeApplication.nativeApplication.activeWindow as DisplayObject);
My popup does not appear. I am assuming because "activeWindow" is not actually a DisplayObject?(so how do I get the DisplayObject if that's the case?)

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

I'm developing an AIR app that requires a menu to show only during the first run. In it the user will be able to choose the desired language for the app to run in.
I'm displaying this menu without a problem but I need it to stay visible until the "select language" comboBox is changed and then return the selected choice's data value.
how to return a value only after the combo box is changed.
function promptFRMenu():String{
FRMenu.enabled = FRMenu.visible = true; //when I detect the app is running for the

I usually, use SWF Protection, to protect my swf's from decompiling. It also adds a load bar to the swf.
The problem is that I have codes like this:
logo= new marca();
parent.addChild(logo);
logo.mouseEnabled=false;
I use parent, because I need to put the movie clip above everything, because my application allows the user to add a lot of things to the stage, so a don't want anything covering the logo.
The application works well while unprotected, but If I protect it using SWF Protection, then, I get just white screen. Nothing appears after loading.
Is there another way, to put a movieclip above everything, without being necessery to add a ON ENTER FRAME LISTENER, to update the movieclip deph, to keep it above everything?

What I describe here is not correct. My full code had some other things in it that was the reason I couln't see mc2. The code described under is actually working!
I have custom class (MyContainer) that extends Sprite. Then:
Code:
var mycon:MyContainer = new MyContainer();
var mc1:Sprite = new Ball(); // Ball is a sprite in my library
var mc2:Sprite = new Ball();
[Code]....
it works, but I dont want that, as MyContainer has custom variables and functions I use. A simple: if (mycon is DisplayObjectContainer) evaluates to true.
