May 7, 2010
"How to control a movieclip which is 'introduced' by the AddChild property in a other movieclip (for example PageContainer).
For my website, I use the this code:
Actionscript Code:
var p1:page1 = new page1;var currentpage:String;pageContainer.addChild(p1); currentpage="home";stop();function button1Over(event:MouseEvent):void {button1.gotoAndPlay(2); // Mouse-over animation begin}function
[code]...
Quote:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
"How to set the statement to a good one, so I can start the closing animation in the Page1-MC which is in PageContainer by the AddChild-property?

What's the difference between selectedChild property and selectedIndex property? I read the documentation, both seems to be setting currect active accordion. selectedChild can be only used in actionscript, but other than this, what's the difference?

I am using this method to create a slider to control frames in a movie clip.
[Code]...
The slider works well when I'm in the scene that contains the slider. When I go to a scene that does not include the slider, I get the following output error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. How can I stop the stage.add.EventListener when I navigate to other scenes that don't include the slider. This is my first as3 project. The project functions as it should but I don't know if the output error will cause problems later.

does that make sense at all? here's what i'm trying to do, the code is below. i'm building a touchscreen interface for a tradeshow, which mainly is a slideshow, with three buttons, one of which, when clicked, needs to load the company's webpage. i need to keep the webpage "inside" my environment and keep the navigation buttons on screen, so the user can touch the other two buttons for the rest of the content. so far, i've got an image on the stage, then call a button with addchild. i've got that loading a movieclip via addchild, also, which then calls the url, then i lose my nav button. is it possible to somehow load a url, and control it's depth index? or, accomplish the desired result in a different way?
var button_1:btn1 = new btn1();
button_1.x = 196;
button_1.y = 860;

I have this code:

In which I am trying to create a variable to reference another class I have already created, but when I try to use the addChild method, i get an error that says it is an undefined property. Looking through other posts, I saw that maybe adding "stage." in front of addChild(blueTarget).

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

my_mediafile.load(new URLRequest("PMP2.jpg"));
//trace ("my_mediafile "+my_mediafile);
trace(mc_pmp.gfx_pmp)
mc_pmp.addChild(my_mediafile);
i have a movie clip(called gfx_pmp) inside of my movieclip (called mc_pmp) and i wanted to add a child to that movieclip gfx_pmp
thought i could use this code
mc_pmp.gfx_pmp.addChild(my_mediafile)
but it doesn't seem to work. when i ran a trace on mc_pmp.gfx_pmp it returned null as a value
trace(mc_pmp.gfx_pmp)
//returns null
i dont see what the issue is here, or why the trace on that is returning null
[object mc_pmp_43]
1st trace gfx_pmp [object MovieClip]
2ndtrace gfx_pmp [object MovieClip]

On my stage I have a movie clip called 'm1'. I also have a variable 'i' which is equal to 1. if I load in a bitmap (called 'bmp') and then use: this["m"+i].addChild(bmp) it attaches the bitmap to the movie clip - no problem. However, if I have a second movie clip WITHIN 'm1' (let's say this second movie clip is called 'mm1') - I can't figure out how to dynamically attach the bitmap to the second movie clip. this["m"+i].this["mm"+1].addChild(bmp) doesn't work....

I have multiple tab loops, where I enable/disable the loops as needed to control the tabbing experience. I'm attempting to set control the tabbing with the tabChildren property on the Movieclip or Sprite containers I have by setting their tabChildren property to true/false. I am trying to set up tabbing that has three distinct tab loops (three different containers), each with their own internal Sprites/Movieclips that have their tabIndex properties set as needed. I am able to properly set tabChildren to false, and back to true. But with the component, once I set it to false, I can't set it to true again.
Tab loop 1: main content (a loaded SWF file)
Tab loop 2: nav bar (previous & back buttons to load different SWFS, and a Help button)
Tab loop 3: a help pop-up window (a Sprite container) with a scrollPane component used to show scrolling content
Things seem to work fine without the ScrollPane component involved in the mix.Have others experienced this inability to control tabChildren like this? And with regards to using components? I am not using the FocusManager class in any capacity, and believe that it only applies to the components (unless I created my own components and implemented IFocusManager, which I haven't).

I am trying to:
1) create a dynamic property
2) bind that property to a label
This works great for "sealed properties", but for dynamic properties there doesn't appear to be any event triggered. Are dynamic properties implicityly not bindable?
var myObj:MyType = new MyType(); // MyType is dynamic
myObj["myDynamicPropertyName"] = "initialized";
BindingUtils.bindProperty(myLabel, "data", myObj, repeatedLabel.name);
// myLabel now displays "initialized"
myObj["myDynamicPropertyName"] = "changed";
// myLabel still displays "initialized", it should say "changed" !!!

I am having ongoing issue with using addChild(). Everything else works. The code below now loads all thirty five images and the addChild command is used directly on the Bitmap in initHandler in the ButtonClass.as excerpt below. Now I commented out the line that I was going to use to add these Bitmaps as children of the MovieClip in placeThumbnail function in the FLA. So I believe the only problem I have left is finding a way to get the Bitmaps to be children of the correct MC //This code excerpt is from ButtonClass.as
public function imgLoad(buttonMC:MovieClip) {
imgLoader = new Loader();
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finished_loading);
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
var link=buttonMC.entry_thumbnail;

The think is that i want to reuse that movieclip, how can i clean it?

I have a movieclip in the library with Linkage "Holder". The movieclip has 40 blank keyframes I add it at runtime using var timeline_mc:MovieClip = new Holder(); I want to add a loaded image content to each blank keyframe like this:
function loadImages():void
{
addChild(timeline_mc);
timeline_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, testCycle);
[code]....
This adds the images but not to the currentFrame, it adds them all to the first frame. Is there a way to add to the frame the movieclip is currently at?

Im having a problem adding a child to a nested movieclip.the main movieclip is instanced when the user clicks on the create gallery button.the code then proceeds to create x movieclips(productFrames) with nested movieclips(imageFrame) with instance name:imageFrame1 & dynamic text frames(title & genus) & then add text to those frames & an image to one of the nested mcs
the problem seems to be with
productFrame.imageFrame1.addChild(imageLoader);
productFrame.genus.text="Loaded "+kbLoaded+" of "+kbTotal+" KB";

i have a UILoader that loads an image from an xml list when you click its thumbnail ( in its thumbnails mc on mainstage aswell) thing is, i have another UILoader on the layer above that loads in a swf ( a slideshow that fades in and out the pictures when they change to the next, with all the coding on frame 1, frame 2 only has a stop and some code for when the mouse is idle for 5 secs it goes back to frame 1) so when you go to "portraits" it takes you to frame "x" where the slideshow ( loaded external swf ) starts playing automaticly right, if i click any thumbnail the slideshow goes to frame 2 ( wich is perfect and the mouse idle thing i wanted works great ) the ONLY THING IS
after the slideshow runs by default for the first time ( i enter the category portraits ) and i click any thumbnail ( moving slideshow swf to frame 2 enabling mouse idle event ) and the mouse is idle ( so it does the event and starts playing the slideshow again ( goes back to frame 1 ) ) I CANT MAKE THE UILOADER OF THE THUMBS IMAGE TO DISSAPPEAR!

I have a movie clip in the library which is an animation of some 72 frames.
When I add it using addChild it loops, I would like it to play once then stop.
A stop() in the last frame of the movieclip does not seem to be executed.

I need to remove all the instances of a movieclip that I am adding to the stage using addChild.I use a loop to add several copies of the same movieclip onto the stage. Is there a way to remove all these movieclips at once.I've tried several things but nothing seems to work.Below are the for loops that I am using to add and remove the children from the stage. Note that the initial for loop adds a number of instances of the movieclip "colorbox2" based on the contents of textboxes. This works fine, however when I trace(colbox.numChildren) it just shows "1" regardless of how many instances it adds to the stage. Shouldn't it reflect the number of instances it added to the stage? The 2nd loop removes one instance of the movieclip from the stage, but I can't get it to remove all the instances of the "colorbox2".[code]

I have a dummy clip in my Flash application where I want to load the final content to.Now everything seemd to work. When I do a addChild() on the complete event, the addedToStage event is triggerd, I can do a gotoAndStop but it isn't visible. Just when I do a tage.addChild() or a root.addChild() I can see it. Even "root.myClip_mc.addChild()" doesn't work. The clip where I want to add it is at position 0,0.

How do I make sure that a movie clip that starts on the stage has a higher zindex then when I addChild and add a linked movieClip from the library.
Really my code is pretty simple
background_image = new Sprite();
main_container.addChild (background_image);
But I have a movieClip "message_box" that I dragged onto the main timeline. When i add the background_image which is the full size of the stage it overlays the "message_box"
I know you can set the childs index but how do I set the "message_box" index?
