I get the error: Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 11 1119: Access of possibly undefined property spriteTwo through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite. I can control child movieclips on the stage this way, so why can't I control sprites made in AS3 this way?
I have a sprite in which I have added other sprites. Something like:
var sp_main:Sprite = new Sprite();
var sp_group:Sprite = new Sprite();
for(i:int = 0; i < 10; i++)

If I change some value for a parent sprite, the same value will affect all of its children. So if I set alpha or width on the parent, the child will automaticly get the same value.
View 4 RepliesI've few movieclip from library that will add to stage, inside of the movieclip have some mc that I want to control it, here is my script.
if (selectDiffText.text == "Collection 1 Easy")
{
var c1_easy:cartoonEasy = new cartoonEasy();
[Code]......
let say if c1_medium is added to stage, c1_medium will also randomly added 1 of the movieclip from library on it.
inside of the playGame mc, I've mouseTarget.alpha = 0;...how can I control it from root level? c1_easy also have the mouseTarget.alpha=0 too.
I am making SWFs that an interface will load and control (pause, re-start, stop, etc.).When the interface is paused, the main movie clip will pause but not it's children movie clip.Note that I didn't write the interface AS3 code. I am supplying the SWFs that are loading into the interface. The developer of the interface won't allow me to use animated movie clips in my SWFs since he can't control them with the interface. So all my animation need to be on the main timeline.Can I provide him with some AS3 code to allow the developer to control the child movie clips or is there an Event Listener scheme I could include in the child movie clips that would pause, stop, restart, etc when the main movie clip changes?
Also...in the meantime...since I currently do not have a fix at this time and since all my animations are on the main timeline, is there a way to select multiple tweened objects (movie clips and graphic on difference layers) and move or resize them across multiple keyframes?
So I'm working on a Flash version of the old "Robots!" game. In case you're not familiar: the game lays out a number of robots on a grid (number varies by level), and drops the player in the middle. As the player moves around the grid, the robots all move towards the player one grid space per player move. The object is to destroy all the robots by making them run into each other (or the rubble left from previous collisions) without letting a robot run into you.
Anyway, my robot hordes are being created on the stage through a "for" loop, and each icon is a child of variable "evilBot" which references a library item with the class name "enemy."
ActionScript Code:
function placeBots():void{
for (var c = 0; c < numBots; c++){
evilBot = new enemy;
[Code]....
I've run a trace on "evilBot.name" and verified that the children are being given instance names of "evilBot0, evilBot1 ..." and so on. But no matter what I try, I can't issue instructions (regarding movement, orientation, etc) to individual children.
Using a for loop and "this["evilBot" + x]" returns a "term is undefined" error.
If I store the instance names in an array (named "botName") and use "evilBot.name[botName[x]]", I get the error "Property evilBot0 not found on String and there is no default value."
Intended idea: User is able to set a beat speed for a music making program.
I'm trying to use for (var i:Number = 0; i < (variable); i++) {"addChild" to duplicate movie clips to visibly show where the beat is and then move the movie clips at a constant rate to the left to get it out of the way and then eventually remove the child.
Problem: The movie clip isn't moving. Once it's spawned and in it's position as defined by the function, no outside function can control it.
Code:
stop();
var yesorno:Boolean;
var numba:int;
var origbeat:MovieClip;

In this game attached I need the old Children (rats) to hurt the character when he walks into them, however only the most recently added Child is active in that way... also the rats seem to appear above the character instead of below, is there any way to resolve these issues??
View 4 RepliesI have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:

In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
I want to have a rollover effect of a movieclip (mo1) inside a movieclip (mo) of another movieclip (popup1).Is it possible to do that? I try calling it using this code in the frame 1 of my flash, am i doing wrongly?

popup1.mo.mo1.onRollOver = function() {

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

for some reason STORAGE[0].getChildAt(0) works whereas liner.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0) does not. STORAGE is a movieclip and a child of liner. the error is something about not being able to use getChildAt on a display object. what's wrong? is there any other approach i could use? PS: liner.getChildAt(0) works and does indeed seem to refer to STORAGE[0]
View 2 RepliesIf I am to import an image and I wish to use it as a sprite or something like that; How do I remove the white areas? For example, if I was going to create a custom cursor or something like that, an I was to use this image: Image - how would I remove the white areas, so that they are transparent. I would also like to know if it is possible to set where the center of rotation in an image is?I do all my image work on Photoshop, if that is of any significance.

View 2 RepliesSo created a Sprite to which I add other Sprites which are game tiles. Each tile is 60 x 60 px big. In result I've the Sprite with about 200 childs (those tiles).When I try to startDrag() the container sprite the lag when moving it is very noticeable..
Is there a way like to join the tile Sprites so the container would have only 1 child Sprite instead of 200? Because it lags so much probably cause it needs to move (change the x and y) all those 200 tiles.. Am I correct?In this case I can't use the cacheAsBitmap property, cause user can zoom in or zoom out the map..
I'm currently building a slideshow application using the MVC pattern, as it stands the application works by going to the next picture by clicking the photo or controlling the slides with a next/prev button.
i am trying to add additional navigation so that there are thumbnails of the images loaded with XML so the user can click the image and go straight to the image clicked on.
thats easy enough i could add buttons manually with thumbnails in them but it would tedious to update the photography or artwork when it comes to increasing or reducing the number of photos.
so what i plan is that ,when the application loads it reads and counts the images Thumnails in the XML file,then the AS3 generates thumbnail icons according to the amount of images counted in the XML File, then places them on the stage in a sequence next to each on the stage. as a sequence of thumnails with can then be used to navigate around the library with more control and is easy to update simply by changing the XML file.[code]...
How can insert sprites from the IDE? When I press f8 the only options are MovieClip, Buttons and Shapes. If I export to ActionScript I can change the class to Sprite, but I want to insert a Sprite directly from the IDE.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a picture gallery. I have a thumbnail container, which contains a mask and a dynamically generated mc called "thumbnail_mc". Thumbnail_mc contains all the sprites of the thumbnails.When I click on a thumbnail, the thumbnail get's a glow filter added to it.

View 3 RepliesI'm creating visual effects using TweenLite, which currently only manages the tweens for me, can I also attach a sprite at a specific time? (using "delay")
Basically I want to use TweenLite to attach/remove sprites apart from just tweening existing objects.
I have a function that adds a player to a sprite containerwhen that player is clicked a hit test is done on the tiles surrounding that player that it can move to and put into an array.all that works fine.my problem is after I add more than one player to the stage I can only move the latest addition when I use MapInfo.player.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;I thought if I used getChildByName I might get around making a custom event.but I get an Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. when I use the code below
trace(MapInfo.getPlayer);// =MapInfo.player.name
var targetisplayObject = MapInfo.player.getChildByName(MapInfo.getPlayer);
target.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;

What I am basically trying to do is Like,the yellow boxes are dynamically made,with Actionscript Code: new Sprite(); inside that red and blue are also made with new sprite(); with instance names yellow1(red1,blue10),yellow2(red2,blue2) etc... How can I refer to yellow1.red1?Like,these are dynamically made,and i dont know the limit,like say it adds on with each click,It will make Actionscript Code: 'yellow'+i and red+i etc... How can I refer to the ith sprite when the user clicks?Suppose the user clicks yellow5,I want a reusable code that will refer to yellow5.red5
