ActionScript 3.0 :: Get AddChild In Class Files?
Sep 25, 2009
I have this class called AD. Its attached to my stage. AD then calls a class file called setupBoxes.
setupBoxes sets up a box using box2d (which has nothing to do with my question so dont stop reading here), attaches a movieclip to it, and attempts to "addChild". No errors, but no results.The thing is, in setupBoxes i even tryed using this code which i found on another forum.
PHP Code:
improt AD;
//creation of class and brakets and things.
public static var ad:AD;
//long box2d and setup process and more brackets...
ad.addChild(container);

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?

I 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:
[Code]...
Symbol 'buttons', Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 41061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type Class.

I have an FLA in which there are a number of MovieClips in its library. I also have a document class for this FLA, which I will refer to as Body.as from here out.From Body.as, I call other classes designed to put stuff together and allow for organization due to large amount of MCs I have to use in the FLA. For reference, these classes are called as such: Head.as, Chest.as, Arms.as, etc etc.Now, where Body.as is the document class, and is therefore functioning to operate all areas in the FLA, I wanted to use these additional class files to be used to manage anything related to them, including any MCs I have. I'll use Head.as for explaining. To that end, I have four MCs, each named as follows:hat1hat2hathat4s part of trying to organize it all, I want to be able to call a singular function in Head.as that will retrieve these MovieClips and add them to the stage (Or, as I hope to do once I get a bit further in, add them to a larger MC that will then be added to the stage).

I've got 2 classes:
Main.as
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
When I do this there are no errors, but the 'addChild' function is not working. if I put the addChild function in the Main.as then everything works just fine. So my question is: How can I Let the addChild function work from another class then the main class.

I may be losing my mind. I am simply trying to add a textfield and addchild to that textfield.
Here is the textfield class
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.TextField;
[code]...
Works great until I try to addChild to that textField from either Frame 1 or the class itself. I can trace it perfectly, trace the class, trace the functions, trace everything in the functions but I can not addChild.

For a school assignment I'm making a panorama version of my own room using a cube with 6 pictures in it. It created the panorama, it works great.But now I want to add clickable objects in it. One of the requirements is that my code is OOP focused. So that's what I am trying right now.
Currently I got two classes
- Main.as (Here i make the panorama cube as the room)
- photoWall.as (Here I want to create my first clickable object)
Now my problem is: I want to addChild a clickable object from photoWall.as to my panorama room. But he doesn't show it? I think it has something to do with the scenes. I use a new scene in Main.as and in photoWall.as. No errors or warnings are reported This is the piece in photoWall.as were I want to addChild my object (photoList):
private function portret():void
{
//defining my material for the clickable portret
var material : BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial('images/room.jpg');

I am trying to add an object to my main stage via the addChild() method. Normally, when working within the FLA itself, using addChild(myObject) works just fine. However, it does not work within an external AS class.
All of the other tutorials I have found showed me how to do something like this, which is not what I need:
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myMovieClip.addChild(myObject); // Works great, but not what I need

I have some files in my src directory, some are .class files (Java class files) and some are .properties files, when I create the Adobe air native installer these files are not included. Why is that? How can I work around that?
Also it excludes .mxml files, but that's good. I'm sure that's related, how to change what it includes or excludes?

I have an array of a custom class. The class includes 3 movieclips that all share the same position. I have 5 items in the array, and in the document constructor I fill them as such:
ActionScript Code:
glassArray[0] = new glasses(spot, beam1, glasses2, "index/nav/aboutus", new Point(156, 400));(different string and point for each of the 5 items)
Here's the glasses constructor:
ActionScript Code:
public class glasses extends MovieClip{ //I am the Constructor.
public var spot:MovieClip;
public var beam:MovieClip;
public var glass:MovieClip;
protected var target:String;
[Code] .....
It then goes on to fill each of those mclips with properties based on the point received. How to addchild from the class, I've got a simple for loop in the document constructor that adds them all in. Everything works, except what I'm seeing is that as each item in the array is added in, it overwrites the previous items' properties. In effect, I can create 5 items and give them each a different position, but when I go to addChild I see that all of them have taken on the position of the 5th one.!

I can't do many simple things in AS3 that take 1 second to do in AS2,
All I want to do is attach a movieclip to the stage via a .as file that ISNT the document class.
So for examples sake lets say I have Main.swf - Main swf file with a movieclip called "PreloaderGUI". Main.as - The document class, this loads Preloader.as. Preloader.as - This preloads the movie and attaches PreloaderGUI.

I'm working on a Flash Lite 3.0 application using AS2 and I've created a class that extends MovieClip. The problem is that I'd like to dynamically add Child Movieclips using the addChild method... but it doesn't work, it gives me the following compiler error: "There is no method with the name 'addChild'". But I can call other MovieClip specific methods such as this.getNextHighestDepth()
heres a reduced version of my class:
class com.sck.DragList extends MovieClip {
//Declarations
private var placeHolder:MovieClip;
private var listMask:MovieClip;

What I describe here is not correct. My full code had some other things in it that was the reason I couln't see mc2. The code described under is actually working!
I have custom class (MyContainer) that extends Sprite. Then:
Code:
var mycon:MyContainer = new MyContainer();
var mc1:Sprite = new Ball(); // Ball is a sprite in my library
var mc2:Sprite = new Ball();
[Code]....
it works, but I dont want that, as MyContainer has custom variables and functions I use. A simple: if (mycon is DisplayObjectContainer) evaluates to true.

I believe this should be a very simple fix, but I cannot for the life of me get this working, and i've been playing with it all day. Basically I am trying to start working with classes, I want to attach a movieclip to a flash movie, from my class [its for a card game style thing]. But when I attach a movie clip, it does not appear on the screen,. It exists, I can trace its .x position etc.
Code:
Select allpackage arrayTrial{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Deck extends MovieClip{
private var totalCards = -1;

I have a 20 frame MovieClip in the library with a Class attached to it. There is nothing in the Class except the usual stuff pertaining to MovieClips with a Class (import display.movieClip and so on). The first frame in the movieClip timeline is a stop() command. I only want the clip to play sometimes. So in the main document timeline, I add the clip from the library as such:
Code:
var testClip:SampleClass = new SampleClass();
addChild(testClip);
But with this instance, I also want it to begin playing. However the following is not working:
Code:
MovieClip(testClip).play();// doesn't work?
testClip.play();// also doesn't work?
But, if I delay things a bit it DOES work - like this:
Code:
Tweener.addTween(testClip, {y:0, time:.5, onComplete:function() {testClip.play()}});
// works fine, clip begins playing
Why delaying the play command works, but telling it to play on instantiating doesn't?

I need to know when an element is added to the stage (using main document class). So i use :
Code:
public override function addChild(__child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject{
super.addChild(__child);
trace("child added");
return __child;
}
Which works fine. I also use a static class, to which i pass the stage using :
Code:
public static function setStage(__stage:Stage):void{
_stage = __stage;
}
But if i add to the stage (_stage) a MovieClip from the static class, my "real" stage doesn't seem to get that something was added. So i guess _stage !== stage.
So why is this happening, why is _stage not getting the methods of stage ?

I've got an external .as file in the same folder as my flash file. In the process of writing the code, whenever I make a change and then test the movie, the flash movie is obviously still looking at the OLD information. I tried using the "Delete ASO Files" on the menu, to no avail.I can' find these ASO files anywhere on mycomputer.Aha! I tried something else. I quit flash,restarted and ran the same script with no changes. It returned the data correctly, but then gave me this unpleasant message:256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.There are no loops of any kind in the code, which is below.
//This is the Person.as file:
class Person { public var HomName:String = "unknown"; public var HomEmail:String = "unknown"; public var HomPhone:String = "unknown"; public var HomSaveFreq:Number = 0;
