ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild To Stage Instance From Static Class?
Nov 4, 2011
I need to know when an element is added to the stage (using main document class). So i use :
Code:
public override function addChild(__child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject{
super.addChild(__child);
trace("child added");
return __child;
}
Which works fine. I also use a static class, to which i pass the stage using :
Code:
public static function setStage(__stage:Stage):void{
_stage = __stage;
}
But if i add to the stage (_stage) a MovieClip from the static class, my "real" stage doesn't seem to get that something was added. So i guess _stage !== stage.
So why is this happening, why is _stage not getting the methods of 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:

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 )

If all I have is an instance of an object, can I call a static method of its class? For fun, let's say I don't know what the name of the class is, only the name of the static method.

I have a ManagerClass with a Singleton implementation inside, I get the instance by calling ManagerClass.getInstance().
Can I get that same instance by just having the class name as a string? I have tried something like:
var theInstance:* = getDefinitionByName("ManagerClass").getInstance as Class;
theInstance.doTrace(); // I get a 1009 error here

My method has been passed a class instance, but it was typed through an interface so I'm not 100% sure what class it is. I'd like to attempt call a static method on that instance's Class.. is there an easy way to do this without being forced to pass the class along as well?
Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
public function foo(myBarInstance:IBar):void {
var barClassPointer:Class = getClass(myBarInstance);

What I'm looking for is a way to reference the document class instance, to be able to access functions and variables that other classes need. I'm currently doing it with this little piece of code I found on some blog or forum.
Code: Select all// This is in the document class
private static var _instance:DocClass; // I have tried setting this to public and accessing it directly as well
public static function get instance():DocClass { return _instance; }

This seems to work as it should in Flash CS4, but when I try to run the same code in CS5 I get the following error message:

I have a class ErrorMessages which holds all my error messages as static constants. So I could access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD_INVALID or ErrorMessage.PASSWORD_TOO_SHORT. I want to know if it is possible to have separate classes that hold subset of these constants and access them like ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.INVALID or ErrorMessages.PASSWORD.TOO_SHORT, etc. This way I can more structured static structure and makes it much easier to use autocomplete. I tried few different ways and couldn't figure out if this was possible..

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

I have a static utility class that must have a reference to the stage, and I'm not sure what is the best option for me to get the stage inside my class...
I've thought of these options:Pass in as a parameter of the function Have a static variable I can set to the stage I don't like either of these because they are ugly.
What methods can you suggest for me to get a reference to the stage in my static class?

Is there a way to make an static method act over an object of its class that is already on the stage, without using the keyword "this"? I mean, like "generic object of this class: do what I'm telling you to do, wathever your instance name".My goal is to create an method that get called by any object of this class, based on the changing on the value of an external variable, but since I cannot use the "this" keyword to reffer to each instance, I could not figure out a solution.

access one instance of a MovieClip on the stage (blue_mc) from within the class file of another MovieClip (red_mc).e.g. One instance of "Blue" on the stage called "blue_mc", and one instance of "Red" on the stage called "red_mc". Both symbols are linked to class files (Blue.as and Red.as).In Red.as, I set up a function to listen for a mouse down event. When this is triggered, I want to move the instance blue_mc. At the moment, though, I can't seem to get a reference to blue_mc.I've looked into the new stage and root properties, but even though blue_mc is on the stage, it cannot be accessed using stage.getChildByName( "blue_mc" ) either.
Code for Red.as:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

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?

Is there a way to get an instance reference to the document class to call a method of it from the stage's timeline?I see that here's a possible solution: using a singletonOther solution I though of is using stage.getChildAt( 0 ) but it's not very nice.Is there an 'official' instance reference? because the document class is obviously instantiated at startup, but is that instance accessible in any way without having to use a custom solution like the ones mentioned?

I've been searching around all afternoon, and am pulling my hair out. 1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)
Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
[Code]...
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1. I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable? Is there a really easy way to do this with some syntax/command that I have not learned yet?

Alright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.

I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
What about AS3 classes am I misunderstanding?

I have to admit I pretty much ran away from Flash when AS2 came along and only used it for animation purposes over the last 5 years.So I'm having a major crash course in AS3 in Flash CS3 and I'm not enjoying it one bit. I'm getting maybe 10mins of finished work per hour as I try to figure out the limits and rules of AS3. Quite often it seems that AS3 simply can't do what I want it to. Anyway: Characterchecks.as is the main class and it loads a bunch of XML into four arrays. The file starts like this:[code]If I trace the value of, say, cc._Categories from the main FLA, it's empty. I'm guessing that the next line of AS in the main FLA doesn't wait for the previously called function to complete? (This may tie in to my next problem)My next step is that I want to display various things based on the data in the array. I have another class, Display.as which will hold all the functions to create the items on display. I thought it would be best for these to be a separate object. I wonder if I'm right?
So I declare an instance of Characterchecks in the main FLA and call it cc, and then run the functions to populate the arrays... Now I create an instance of Display and call it cd. How can I get functions in cd to see the values of the variables in cc? And if the main timeline can't tell that the functions aren't finished filling the arrays, how is cd supposed to know?I might be asking dumb questions, or maybe I'm doing things ***-backwards, I don't know. I'd appreciate any help, I really would. This whole thing has me at the end of my tether... being the most technically advanced person in my circle of co-workers and web design friends means I have no-one to explain why things need to be done a certain way or what the best way is.
