I have a library swf (asset.swf), it's document class binded to Asset.as, and in the Constructor function of Asset,[code]as known to all, we cannot visit the stage attribute before the display object added to the stage.so, when my loader.swf try to load asset.swf, it throws exception and the loading come to failure is there some one tell me how to load the asset.swf? I cannot modify the asset.swf.

I want to be able to mask an object that has been added to the stage using 'addChild'. This is what I have so far, but it does not seem to work.
Code:
var skyMask:mcSkyMask = new mcSkyMask();
skyMask.x = 0;
skyMask.y = 0;
addChild(skyMask);
var cloud1:mcCloud1 = new mcCloud1();
cloud1.mask = skyMask;
cloud1.x = 7.5;
cloud1.y = 57.7;
addChild(cloud1);
Basically, the cloud is going to move across the sky then get hidden by the mask so it does not appear on the background stage.

Is there a way to keep an object above a child that is being added to the stage?
Say I have a frame on the stage and I want to add different children to the stage, but want those children to fall under the frame that is already on the stage?

I'm doing quite a complicated game with a lot of code but one thing I can't quite figure out is how to trigger a function on the main stage from a dynamically added object.I've tried using custom events, but it doesn't work and doesn't throw any errors either.Here's the code for the CustomEvent class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]....
Here's the code part in the dynamically added child(CustomEvent is imported):
Code:
this.parent.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(null));
and here's the main timeline part of the code:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(CustomEvent.CUSTOM, checkMoney);
//more code here
function checkMoney(e:CustomEvent)[code].....
All of the above seems to work, because it doesn't throw an error, but it doesn't trace money when the event is dispatched.Before you ask, the event IS being dispatched or at least the if method it's in is entered.Any other method to tell the stage it's time to run the function is welcome also

I have a class called shapeC that only creates a rectangle and then addChild(rectangle);. That class is instantiated on the main timeline. Currently, the only way you can see that rectangle is to add the instantiated class to the stage via addChild(shapeC);. My question is, is there a way that the shapeC class can add the rectangle to the root stage without requireing the instantiated class to be added to the stage?

Actionscript 3.0 looping through stage and DisplayObject items. I'm trying to convert to Actionscript 3.0 and I'm trying to find out how to loop through Stage objects as well as DisplayObject.
With AS 2.0 - I would only have to do:
for(var i in _root) // or MovieClip, this, etc { trace("i: " + i + " [i]: " + _root.[i]);}
In AS 3.0 I found this equivalent which works w/ some objects:
public function debug_object(o:Object, show_all:Boolean):void {
import flash.utils.*; var def:XML = describeType(o);
var props:XMLList = def..variable.@name; if(show_all)
props += def..accessor.@name;
for each (var prop:String in props) {
trace(prop + ": " + o[prop]); }}
this.showChildren(Stage);
This kind of works but the o[prop] always traces undefined and it's not showing any movieClips on the stage. I would like to be able to have the debug object function be able to take Stage and DisplayObject arguments like such:
this.debug_object(Stage, true);
this.debug_object(flash.display.DisplayObject, true);

For some reason below is not working. It is probably very obvious but I am not seeing it. As soon as I comment out the container mc variable and just add Child to root timeline I see everything which means me container is not being added to the stage correctly.
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var i:int = 0;
var a:Number = 10;
var ageString:String;
var ageText:Array = new Array();

I've googled this to no avail, I've only found how to manipulate the stage itself and not a display object on it,I have a movie clip on the main timeline with instance name displayName. I created a button that should change what frame displayName goes to (in order to...did you guess it?! diplay the Name of the button.So I am trying to write the code in a reusable fashion and have the buttons all linked to a class called GeoPuzzle. Inside GeoPuzzle I instantiate a touch event and run the code. However, the function has to be able to change displayName in the main part of the timeline and, of course, the compiler says displayName doesn't exist because I'm in a class and I'm talking about the stage.[code]How can I tell displayName to change it's current frame from within display object class?

Base extends MovieClip document class extends Base how would Base properly access a display object which is already placed on stage in the flash ide? for example creating the var in Base's class definition = 1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition in name space public. but just referencing the var = 1120 undefined property , as the item is only a variable of the document class Is the only approach to let the classes load, then create the display object rather than have it on stage already?

I have a stage bigger than the size of a browser, and I have a camera to navigate around the area.Now when I click on a button, I will have something pop up blocking the whole browser, like a lightbox effect with another box on top of the blocker.The problem now is, when the blocker pops up, its position is not on the TOP LEFT corner of the browser. I've tried stage.align, but it would makes the camera or other object on stage position run.So is there any other way I could get the blocker to position according to the browser, not the stage?[code]

've been trying to figure out how to refer to the stage from a Sprite before it is added to the stage.
I'm working on a small program in which I plan to use external classes for each "window" that comes up. I've made the window classes extensions of Sprite. I'd like to make this window add itself to the stage when its constructor is called, and then just remove it from the window class when I'm finished with it. Is this a good idea? I'll post some of my code to show you what I mean.
This code doesn't work. I get the error "type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Stage"
From my window class:
ActionScript Code:
public class PlayerSelectionWindow extends Sprite{
var stg:Stage;

I'm looking for ways to use movieclips that I've added on the stage in ActionScript. I can't just adress the movieclip by its name because apparently AS3 won't recognize a movieclip name if you haven't created it within the script.
The way I'm going about it now is to check the instance names of every child on the stage (with a for-loop from 0 to numChildren) and if the name starts with a certain text, I create a movieclip in ActionScript like so[code]...

I have an object that is instantiated, then placed into a property within a singleton (single instance) object. When a button is clicked an event is dispatched carrying a payload that references the display object that is held within the Singleton. When the event is heard, my view object adds the object to the display list e.g. addChild().The Item shows. Now If I hit another button an event is dispatched, and a new item is added to the display list via the method above and is seen. The 1st object is removed from the display list Here is my problem. When I click the button to load the 1st Object the above process is executed again but the object does not show.
I can run trace statements from the object that is supposed to be visible and they run fine. I even do a check to see if the visible property is set to true, and it is, but not object is on my screen. Code for this process.
//custom event carries the name of the page aka display object. this is a string
dispatchEvent(new MenuEvent(MenuEvent.CHANGE_VIEW_STATE, event.payload));
//When the event is heard, the following condinial is run

OK, I'm new to AS3, and this is the biggest thing I've tried to do. I'm simply at a loss for the right path to take to accomplish what I want to do. In a nutshell, here's what the end result will look like: The stage will contain a large (on X size) movieclip with a scrollbar (not important to this discussion). This movieclip is created using AS3. The large movieclip is populated with many smaller movieclips created from a template in the library. This template contains some dynamic text fields (let's call them text1_MC and text2_MC). The dynamic text for each smaller movieclip is provided from an XML file containing the text1 and text 2 data.

I have this slight problem with the event ADDED_TO_STAGE. The listener is launched twice so I figured the event is dispatched twice.
Here is my .fla code :
var section:SectionStructure = new SectionStructure("xml/list.xml")
addChild(section)
The Section Structure code :
[...]
mainHolder = new MovieClip;
mainHolder.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, displayObjects);
addChild(mainHolder);
} private function displayObjects(pEvent:Event):void {
mainHolder.addChild(sectionMenu);
}
[Code] .....
The output panel displays "test A" once and "test B" twice. I fixed the problem by adding this little line on the opening of the function createButtons :
menuHolder.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, createButtons);
I read here and there that the event ADDED_TO_STAGE is dispatched when children are added but my problem remains even when I comment everything below this line :
trace("test B");

I'd like to make a counter in AS3.0, in a document class file, for a Flash project, whereby the counter counts the number of movie clips added to the stage.The current document class is set up with a number of timers, an "ouber"timer, which activates three additional timers every 500000 milisecs, while the additional timers add different movie clips to the stage, each adds a different amount and at a different rate.And, i'd like to add some code to this AS file, to tell flash to count how many mcies and if 20 is the sum of the mcies on the stage, stop the timers and remove the mcies.

I'm going to start by saying that i am very new to flash and the concept of Stage is still very new to me.
I have the following problem: at a given time i have:
var foo:MyClass() = new Class();
stage.addChild(foo);
...
foo = new myClass();
stage.addChild(object);
so now i have two or more foo objects on stage. my variable is for one foo, and i need to remove them all from the stage.

Is it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.

Basically, I have to call a function on a loaded module. This function should only be called after all the module's children have been added to the stage.[code]...
