ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Child To An Object?

Jan 22, 2010

I'm exercising scripting and struggling with adding a child to a object when the creation of the child is wrapped in this function
 
function makeBox():void {var box:Shape = new Shape;box.graphics.beginFill(0x66FF00);box.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0x6600CC);box.graphics.drawRect(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 50);addChild(box);}
 
Now I want to add the above shape as a child to this object
 
var Clip:MovieClip = new MovieClip;addChild(Clip);
 
if the first code was not a finction I have no problem to add the child by  Clip.addChild(box); but I cant figure out how to use it if it is as a function.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Event / Menu Object - Adding And Removing Child

Apr 7, 2009

I'm having an issue with MOUSE_OUT triggering before MOUSE_OVER has a chance. I have a global mouse listener class that listens to every mouse event and sends the object involved a message telling it when a mouse event has happened. When a Menu object is opened it adds a bunch of children and when it's closed it removes them all. The problem comes when moving the mouse from the Menu to the Children, Menu receives a MOUSE_OUT event and closes before the Child receives a MOUSE_OVER.

Adding Child At Video CuePoint, Then Removing Child At Another CuePoint?

Aug 4, 2009

However, either I'm declaring my variables at the wrong bit/way or there is another problem, as I have been able to add the child I want to from the display list (sidepoint: is it right to call the display list everything in the library on stage at runtime plus those things you have exported for actionscript usage??!)...but when I want to remove it at the next cuepoint nothing happens. I feel this is a basic principle that is alluding me here.

Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Listening For Custom Event Dispatched From Parent Object In Child Object?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Inadvertently Adding A Child To Children?

Aug 6, 2009

I am working on an application that has buttons (movieClips) to set the color of user input (graphics, type, etc...). When clicked, the selected button displays a movie clip of a palette of 35 colors.I open the palette with the following function (is that the same as a method?):function openPalette(event:MouseEvent):void   event.target.addChild(colorPalette);}I can then click on the colors in the palette to select the color I want.However, since the palette is a child of the button, clicking on a color within the palette triggers the same function as clicking on the parent button again. I get the following error:ArgumentError: Error #2150: An object cannot be added as a child to one of it's children (or children's children, etc.).  at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()  at design_AS3_ii_fla::MainTimeline/openPalette()

Class :: FLA File - Adding Child To Stage

Apr 12, 2012

I am trying to make a "Achtung! die kurve" - like game in Actionscript 3.0. So far I've done the movement of one of the 'worms', and it works alright. I wanna divide it into different class files, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have a .fla file and 4 .as files. So far I only have code in two of these. When I put all my code directly into the fla file, it works perfectly fine, but when I put it into my player class, it won't 'add the child' to the stage. Here is my player .as file: [URL].

The reason why I commented the addChild, is because I wanna do this in my mainFile.as. This is from the main file: [URL]. I'm not quite sure how to call it in the main file, so I'm guessing that this would be the issue. All the files are named and placed correctly in the same folder, and flash says that each of my .as files are targeting the .fla file, so this doesn't seem to be the issue. How I can change the speed of my sprite.

Flex 3 :: Refreshing Repeater After Adding A Child

May 23, 2011

Within a child, I have an XML element with the following structure:[code]I then use a repeater to list each out onto the screen. There's a button I have created that is used to create a position. So, once the user clicks this button, I call the following function:[code]The above function creates a new XML object, puts some default values in, and appends it to the list of project positions. After appending the new information, I made the height of the project larger and then check to make sure the new project height isn't overlapping any other projects... but that information is irrelevant to this post.My problem is this - once i append a new child to the XML variable, it doesn't appear on the screen. Is there a "refresh" or "re-render" option i can do to the repeater in order to make the new child show?[code]Once i make the changes, and use the XMLListCollection as the dataprovider in the repeater, the information no longer loads on the screen.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding - Removing Child For A UI Loader?

Nov 9, 2009

I have 4 separate photogalleries, they are all swfs called by buttons with UI loaders attached. The problem is when one is called the loader remains on the stage I need to be able to remove any loader on stage BEFORE calling another page weather its a photogallery or not.Easiest explanation is how I used to do it in AS2 example 2 btns /2 load separate swfs into level1 on each btn I would have

unLoadMovie(1)
LoadMovie (xxx.swf) 1

I need to do the same thing in AS3 Also, do I need to use separate loaders or can I use one loader and instance names? Below is the code I have now (btns are in two areas)

main timeline btns (all btns except photogallaries)
stop();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHomeClick);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Same Child To Each Consecutive Parent?

Sep 30, 2011

is it possible to add multiple children(twins) with same instance to add on different parents ?

Here we have an example showing that it fails to perform adding same child (photobg0) with instance on a new parent (page0 and page2).

My primary issue is: if i add too many objects on stage flash starts to lag especially if it is a movieClip from librarery, externaly loaded swf or image files

I am trying to duplicate child objects ,gussing this might prevent lagging?

ActionScript Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/photobg.swf");
var photobgx:Number = 19.80;
var photobgy:Number = 90.55;
