I have a MC with a sprite in it. I give it a wee tween
Tweener.addTween(mainImageBox, {height:355, time:1, delay:1, transition:"elastic"});
All fine and dandy but when I add a child
mainImageBox.addChild(loaderAnimationMC);
The child (loaderAnimationMC) is all scaled up, is there a way to prevent this?
I have several objects on the stage and a MouseOver on any of these will add a menu popup child and tween it from off the stage. A MouseOut will tween the menu away and remove the menu with removeChild. Heres the bug: If I mouse out and then quickly mouse over the same object while the menu is tweening away before it has been removed, it doesn't add the menu again, and then on the next mouse out, it tries to remove the child menu, which isn't currently a child because it was just removed, and
I get the error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at menucaller/tweenOffTimerEnd()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
Is there a way I can use an if statement to make sure that the menu is a child of the parent before removing it?

i am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).
View 5 RepliesHowever, 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.

vid.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cueText);

I am working to tween a map of US States to center over and zoom on a specific state once clicked on.I know that I'd want the new x,y of the US States to be something in regards to the difference between its registration location and that of the child clicked uponThe tricky part I am finding is that the coordinate space of the children is specific to that of the container (parent)

I made a scrolling gallery of thumbnails. It extends for 25 frames, and has two buttons (play and rewind). I have it set up so that if you hold down on either button, you continuously scroll until you reach the end or beginning of the animation. Then, along the timeline, I have spots chosen for the scroll to stop if you are not holding down on one of the buttons.
What I want to happen now, is for the animation to easeIn to the stop points on the time line if you are not holding down on the scroll buttons, but play smoothly if you are holding them down. Does anyone know I way to do this?
I have added a fly in right to a symbol and I want to add a fly out right after a certain number of frames. I've been through a tutorial on Lynda of the new CS4 tweening, but what I cannot figure out is how to add the second motion to the new motion tween. When I try to select the last frame or add a new keyframe past the last frame, Flash asks me if I want to replace the existing tween. I can't figure out how, like in classic tweening, to add a fade out, e.g., to the existing item after so many frames.
View 5 RepliesI'm querying the Rotten Tomatoes API for Upcoming Movies. For each movie returned, I'm creating an instance of MovieIcon (MC). I'm then adding this MC as a child of a Container MovieClip that's already on the scene. Each time, I'm incrementing the xPosition of each MovieIcon MC such that, they're positioned next to each other.My container MC has a mask applied to it, therefore any child objects that are positioned beyond the size of the mask, they're are hidden from view. How can I dynamically add a tween/easing animation between all these MovieIcon MC's so that when I hover over the Container MC, it 'scrolls' left or right, depending on the mouse motion?

The package code below is directly out of the Adobe flash help system: It works fine as an external .as file. However, I want to add some buttons from the library.

I am currently working on a project that has me adding and removing a notepad that is a movieclip. Initially, I put the notepad to the outside of the stage and just moved it in with a button click, but now I want to make it so that it appears and disappears from the stage.
I tried the following code and kept getting a 1010 error. Property undefined for "addNotepad".
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.
I'm not talking about removing a child by simply using the removeChild(); method, but a more complicated (I think) way. For example, If a add a 'box' MovieClip with addChild, and I have a 'close' button inside the 'box' MovieClip, I want the 'box' MovieClip to disapear when I press the 'close' button. I tried
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

I am trying to create an effect where my movieclip appears to float in space-like a particle suspended in liquid. Actually, that's exactly what it is I've managed to make it randomly move around, but this code just makes it seem to jump around jerkily. I'd like to smooth out the transitions with a tween but am having a heck of a time figuring out how to do it.
Here's the code (mc is the movieclip):
var timer:Timer=new Timer(1000,100000000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, floatMC);
timer.start();
[Code].....
created a movieclip with a motion tween and I added it to the stage with the following code: var pop:msgBox = new msgBox; addChild(pop); //the msgBox is the class name of the movieclip and the pop is the name of the instance of it the problem is that the animation isn't played correctly. for instance, I drew a rectangle and converted it to a movieclip symbol and then I reconverted it inside itself to a graphic symbol. I created a motion tween that enlarge the movieclip shape, but when I added it with the above code, it start to animate correctly but over its iteration it start to behave not correctly. it seems that flash pro adding a new instance in each iteration that overlap on the previous one.

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 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.
