ActionScript 3.0 :: Count The Variables Added To The Stage?
Feb 24, 2012
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.

1) I want to count the number of movieclips(in different class) added. That is, may be I have 10 clicks, how many bigfish and smallfish are created. What function is suitable to call for doing this.
2) I have a problem on the hittest, it comes out "no hit" only but I still can see the movieclips overlap. And if I want to modify that only check whether smallfish is overlap with bigfish, what should I do? Also, there are functions inside the movieclip itself to give motion.[code]

I have a PHP file that sends different amounts of variables back to flash depending on what the user has done.
I was wondering if there was a way of counting these variables in the event.target.data so I could make a for loop?

I am having problems passing even numbered variables! I have downloaded the improved version of page flip from [URL] (its a digimag). And I want to add a function so that the user can type into a input text box which page they want to go to and it will take them there. So, I have a Input text box with the variable 'page' assigned to it.
Then, I have a button containing the following code:
on (press) {
Pages.flipTo(page);
}
This is working, only on odd numbers, but if I want to go to an even number, it adds a 0 on the end. So, if I type in 4 it takes me to 40! Why is it adding a zero? Incidentally, if I replace 'page' in the button on my code with an even number, it works! So something is happening in the passing of the variable!

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?

'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 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.

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'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.

The following code ist a very simple animation. I added an object to the stage by dragging it from the library. Then I applied code generated by "Copy motion as AS 3" and the animation works fine.However, if i add another object by instating it in AS, add it to the stage by stage.addChild(...), and try to animate it by adding it as a target to the AnimatorFactory nothing happens.(Probably I made a simple newbi mistake.)[code]...

I am trying to add children to a dynamically added swf file, using AS3, before I add it to stage
Here is the code I have thus far,

mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler_one);
mLoader.load(mRequest);

Inside the vid_1 swf there is a movie clip called box_one, I would like to append a image to box_one, and only have the swf added to stage after the image file has been added to box_one.

I am currently having problems referencing a MovieClip child which I add to the Stage from the Document Class. Basically when the MovieClip child is added to the Stage from the Document Class, I want a certain MovieClip already on the Stage to reference it once it is on the Stage.
Also, if it is possible, I don't want the MovieClip referencing the child being added to the Stage to have parameters linking it with the Document Class, because I plan on nesting this MovieClip within another MovieClip later on in the future.
Here is the code for the MovieClip class which is referencing the child once it is added to the Stage:
package com.gameEngine.assetHolders
{
import com.gameEngine.documentClass.*;
import com.gameEngine.assetHolders.*;

[code]This is called as part of the die() function I've created for an enemy in the small game I'm making.The idea being that when the enemy dies, it attaches a movieclip of an XP orb.And it does this perfectly well.The issue is in the last bit of the code.I'm attempting to call the setType() function within the class that the XP orb is in.However, it isn't setting the type to 100.
