ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Non-display List Parent Object?
Jul 12, 2009I need to access a non-display list top-level (Parent? Ancestor? What's the correct term?) object from a display list object, and I don't know how.
In my code, ResultX is an instance of my custom class Result. Card is a sprite, a visual representation of the ResultX object, defined inside the Result class and attached (or removed) to the stage via a separate function inside the result class as needed.
I want to refer to the correct Result object when the user clicks on the corresponding card to call a function there. In accessing the sprite manually, ResultX.card works fine, but I don't know how to go upwards trough the path - card.parent (or actually target.parent, since it's done via event) just returns Main, of course.
Actionscript 3 :: Get Unrotated Display Object Width/height Of A Rotated Display Object?
Jan 31, 2010If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Listening For Custom Event Dispatched From Parent Object In Child Object?
May 25, 2010I want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:

So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Display 1 Display Object Many Times?
Aug 14, 2009Can you make one Bitmap Object (I'm using an external jpg) or something similar, and then display it many times simultaneously without creating a separate object each time?
Also, would they be easily removed or hidden?
I've got a little checkmark jpg graphic loaded here, but I'm not sure how to go about using it in many places at once.. I can only display it in the one place at any one time...
I'm thinking there might be a way to load the picture once, then use its bitmapData elsewhere in new display objects somehow, without needing to reload the image over and over?

Feb 5, 2010[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

View 1 RepliesEffects - Parent One Object To Another?
Oct 21, 2010I'm coming to Flash from a mixed graphic design / 3D animation / motion graphics background. In any of the animation programs I've used before, including After Effects, parenting is a simple operation. ...But it seems that in flash, it's more complex. So far, I am beginning to understand that it has to do with nested scenes, or nested time lines (which may be the same thing?)... So my question is... What is the easiest way to parent one object to another?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Parent Variable From Object?
Apr 1, 2011I've got an external class and make like 20 objects with it. If I e.g. hover my mouse above them, the objects themselves know that, the parent clip however does not. Now I want a global boolean to be set to true, if one of those objects is focused. So in other words I want to set a parent variable from inside of an object that I created with a class.
I could make myself an enter-frame-loop and check all of the objects all of the time, but that doesn't sound like a good solution.
I could also add 20 change-listeners to the parent clip, but I'm not sure about the performance of that. And I have listeners inside the objects anyway, so those should be somehow able to take care of that, or isn't that possible?
