IDE :: Sound Object Parent Reference?
Jun 8, 2009I'm creating a bunch of movieclips, associating a sound object with them, and then updating them with a progress bar, like so:
var theClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
theClip.track = new Sound;
[load sound from URL pseudocode here]
theClip.track.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
function onLoadProgress (erogressEvent):void {
How do I reference the movieClip the sound is a child of? e.target refers to the sound object; e.target.parent returns an error. And you can't assign properties to sound objects.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference A Timer's Parent Object?
Jul 16, 2009I'm trying to create a timer object within a movieclip, which, due to the dynamic nature of the movieclips, works well. However, when a timed function is kicked off I'm having trouble referencing the 'parent' movieclip.I'm trying the code below but the'Evt.currentTarget.parent' line throws an error. Anyone know how to make that reference work?
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.transitionTimer = new Timer(30, 0);
mc.transitionTimer.addEventListener("timer", stepTransition);

ActionScript 1/2 :: Reference Parent Without Using Parent Or Root?
Mar 16, 2010I cannot use the following in my ActionScript due to conflicts with the host application:
_level0
_root
_parent references
On a pop-up box I have a close button with an absolute reference: closeBtn.onRelease = function{ unloadMovie("_level0.Page_1.holderBox");} Is there another way to make this work without using _level0 or _parent? I've read that it is possible to use a global variable on the main timeline and ref that, but cannot get that to work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference Child/parent Movie Clips With Event Handlers?
Jan 13, 2010I am wondering how to correctly reference child/parent movie clips when creating event handlers? I have a button within a movie clip, which is within a movie clip.This is what my handler looks like right now:
this.DropMenus.DMSeats.ButtonSeats.addEventListener("click",SeatsOver) ;
The button instance name is ButtonSeats Problem is, I get this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Also, if I were to move the vent listener directly into the movie clip where the button is located, how could I reference the parent/ parent timeline(the main timeline)? Am I correct to understand that .this refers only to the current clip?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC
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]

Effects - 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?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 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?
