I have the following scenarios.

how can I change the txtField.text without using the addChild function in the main class?? because the Content Class is already visible when you compile it.. and when I remove the that addChild function, the txtField.text is still in its default value which is "Lorem Ipsum"
i want to add to stage a movieclip in another class not the .as file as the same name of .fla file how can i get this.When i run same code in main.as i get the result but in another class it runs but no result.
View 2 Repliesi only want to make an addChild on the "root" ( or stage? as3 is really different from 2, im really confused)
the MAIN class:
ActionScript Code:
package com.website

I have a main package that adds the background image to the project, from here on im trying to have seperate classes that add objects to the background as a parent and control these objects.my code in the main package:

I am trying to pull a funtion that adds a child to a container. This function gets pulled in another class. All the traces do work by the child doesn't show.

How do I listen from the main class to a sub class for a variable change?
package {
import flash.events.*
public class DataBase extends MovieClip {
[Code].....
This is what I have so far for the sub class but I can't seem to figure out how to listen to this variable change from Main() or even if I am dispatching the event properly.
I have imported libary of flash "flash.text.TextField". I have have set x and y position and height and width of text file . Now I need to know all the available attribute of flash.text. For example flash.text.border=true. etc. Is there any document about flash.text ?
View 3 RepliesI'm not sure that I'm on the right track here. I've got what is essentially a 'gateway' movieclip and depending on the CLICK a corresponding movieclip (form) is loaded -- these all being in their own AS file. There are multiple corresponding pages that will all load/close in their own fashion but the 'gateway' will reload in it's own function-- consequently, I have this function on the main_AS. Can I trigger this function from the sub class or do I need to move the 'reload' function to a 'reload' class.
View 2 RepliesI have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
My first experience is build an aquarium with a lot of fish swimming, and they can be clicked. When one of them is clicked we should receive a trace message saying ("I�m a Fish!"). To do this, I thought that the best way will be:
1- create a document class, named Main.as
2- create a base class, named Clicked.as
2- create a movie clip with a fish.
3- export the movieclip to actionscript. In the mc properties set Class as "fish" and Base Class as "Clicked".
i have a game that i want to put load screen on, which i created a separate class for. first the main class is initialized and in the constructor function, it does an addChild(loadScreen) which places an instance of the loadScreen MC on the stage. within the loadScreen is a "Play Button" that when a user presses this button i want it to continue startGame in the Main class. the way i tried it was Main.startGame from the loadScreen class, but that obviously does not work. is it possible to call a function from a different class.i have three files:
Main.fla
Main.as
loadScreen.as
the Main.as file:
Code:
package
{
import flash.text.*;
import flash.display.*;

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?
View 8 RepliesI 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:

I have a main.swf that loads in an external swf called home.swf. I want to be able to call a function in main.swf's doc class from the loaded swf:
Code:
function loadArtist():void { // my function }
in the main timeline of home.swf I'm calling it this way:
Code:
function timeToGo(m:MouseEvent):void {
trace("button pressed");
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).loadArtist(); }
the home.swf compiles fine but when loaded in the main.swf & the button is pressed i get this error:
TypeError: Error #1006: loadArtist is not a function.
at home_fla::MainTimeline/timeToGo()
It seems that it thinks loadArtist is a property. Ack. I've got 3 objects loaded dynamically using addChildAt(mc, 0) ...
Does anyone know of a way to have something in a class, run a function in the main .fla? I have a class that creates a drop down menu and I would like that when a btn is clicked, a function is run.....but it is important that this function is in the main .fla and not in the class.

View 2 RepliesI have a main movie with thumb movieclips that load new children and stops the main movie's animation. Within the child there is a close buttion that removes itself. I also wanted the close button to start the animation of the main movie again once it removed the child. Since I am using a document class to load everything for the main move, how can the close button from the loaded swf use a function from the main document class?

View 4 RepliesI've got a main.as that loads SWF to the stage. the loaded SWF seppoused to pass a link to the main.as and trigger a javascript function to popUp that photo from that link.
I know there are two ways:
((root as MovieClip).parent.parent as Object).somefunction(parameters);
and to dispatch an event. inorder to pass parameters throug the event i need to extend it with another class.
isnt the (root as... ) more efficient if all i need is to pass a link?

I have some functions defined at the main timeline, and I need to call them from a class, how can I do this?
I've tried object(parent).function();
and object(root).function();
but didn't worked
those functions need to be on the main timeline because they removeChild() of the class
Im making different quizes and small games. I always use a Document Class when coding, and usually i call this Main.as. Usually the Main.as contains pointers to different classes like:
private var _menu:Menu;
private var _messageBoard:MessageBoard;
etc..
My question/scenario is this: In for example _menu, i have a button that has an event listener on it (example: "Start" button). When this event is triggered (ie user hits "Start") I want to trigger a function in Main.as. How is the most elegant way of doing it? The solution i use now, is that i send a reference pointer of Main.as to each new class i make. ie in Main I would do something like this:

I have a timer which times how long the game takes and I made a highscore function: if highscore < timer - newhighscore(); This all works fine. My problem is that I want to have the words "Your highscore" flash up on the screen if a highscore has been acheived or to just stay still if a highscore has not been achieved.
ActionScript Code:
private function getScore() {
trace(timer);
[code]...
I have text on my game over screen saying "Your highscore:" I exported them to a movieclip where they turn red and get bigger, the smaller. Frame 1 is plain stop(); Frame 2 to the last frame and the animation Last frame gotoAndPlay(2); These words will normally be plain but I want to be able to, from the newhighscore() function, play the animation for the MovieClip.
i am getting a "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property beginTargetLock not found on AimCursor and there is no default value."

I'm having some trouble finishing an interface i'm working on,the function indica() adds a menu listing of items (indicadores) inside a mask because its too large, and i added a scrollbar that allows to scroll through the items but now i need to add the buttons inside the movie clip indicative,i can add symbols and buttons, but i'm having trouble having them call functions inside the same class that the function indica() is running.[code]
