ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Call Method/set Property Of A Parent?
Feb 24, 2010To my knowledge, there are 3 options:1 - parent.publicPropertyOrMethod.2 - using static vars/methods.3 - dispatching events.Under best practise for OOP development, which is the "best" method? Are there any more?I dislike #1 and never use it as it and can easily descend into hideous parent.parent.parent references that are easily broken. #2 has it's own problems whereby attempting to get/set instance variables doesn't always work through a static function (I am yet to completely understand this). #3 is great for triggering methods (I use this the most) but sucks for altering class properties and suchlike.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent - 'call To Possibly Undefined Method'
Sep 3, 2008I have a custom class called ToolBar which is attached to a library item. The library item has other clips within it and each is an instance of ToolBarButtonA, B, C etc and these all extend the generic class ToolBarButton. If I set an event handler for CLICK within each ToolBarButton to trace 'parent' it comes back [Object ToolBar] which is what I expected but if I try to then call a method through 'parent.methodName()' it fails saying 'call to possibly undefined method'

ActionScript 3.0 :: Child Call To Parent Function Not Working
Jan 12, 2010I have a main MovieClip that creates a new instance of an imported class which is a page in the application. This class tries to call a function on the main MovieClip and it's not finding it. I've done this in the past without any problems with separate swf files and loaders, and with movieclips in a library. I'm at a loss on how to resolve this. Here's what I'm doing (simplified for posting):

i have four buttons from my child.swf where when i click btn1 it will load superchild.swf but i want to load that superchild.swf to my parent.swf, like instead btn1 calls superchild.swf to load, btn1 will call parent.swf then on parent.swf it will distinguish that btn1 was click from child.swf and it will now load superchild.swf.
Flash :: Call A Method Of A Child Of A Datagroup
May 2, 2011I'm looking for a way to call a method for ALL children elements of a DataGroup from the DataGroup. The problem is that when using the creationComplete event to call a method of a child that method is only called once for every itemrenderer (child) object. after the item was drawn once. now i want the children component to call a function everytime the datagroup containing it changes its data. Using "updateComplete" or "dataChange" inside the children (itemrenderer) component would work, BUT "updateComplete" and "dataChange" is called everytime i change the view (e.g. scroll my list) - thats not what i want.

Actionscript 3 :: Bad Form For Child Components To Call Methods On Their Parent?
Feb 4, 2010I have a parent class that instantiates a MenuClass and handles transitions between pages.[code]And here's the MenuClass which creates forward and backward buttons. Clicking each will tell the above ParentClass to transitionForward() or transitionBackward() respectively.[code]One one hand, I feel like the MenuClass is too tightly bound to its parent and is thus less reusable. On the other hand I feel like, in the interest of keeping everything self contained, it's not the ParentClass's responsibility to reach into the MenuClass instance and add event listeners there. This seems like there should be some kind of OOP rule-of-thumb to govern this kind of relationship.Is my MenuClass too tightly bound to its parent? And if so, do you have any suggestions that would loosen that coupling?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC
Feb 5, 2010[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Clip To The Stage As A Child And Remove The Parent And Set The Parent Equal To Null?
Sep 11, 2010if 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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Tab Indexing Loop Through Parent, External Child Swf, Back To Parent?
Nov 11, 2009I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.
I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

ActionScript 3.0 :: DropTarget Parent Child - Removechild Won't Remove A Child
Aug 21, 2010I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

Flash - Drag Child Mc Out Of Parent Mc And Add To New Parent Mc?
Oct 6, 2010Here is a working script to drag drop a ball from the stage into another target mc:
ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...
It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?
