ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Data Objects Onto The Stage?
Feb 19, 2007
I am building an application in flex builder 2 using AS3 and for some reason I cannot instantiate 2 custom controls that i have made. the first control extends the TileList and the second extends the ComboBox. I was able to get them on the stage if I make my default application a mxml file but when I try to instantiate them with an as file as my default application i get nothing at all(not even an error). From what ive read hear I guess these are Non-DisplayObject classes but I cant figure out how to get them on the stage.

I have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.

I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.

I am creating a program and have some objects that animate from off the stage to on the stage. When I run the program in the flash player the objects that are off stage are visible. Is there anyway to stop this from happening. I suppose I could create a layer with a frame in it that could cover the off stage objects, but I am just wondering if there is a better way.

Almost finished constructing a web site (my first) now suddenly, in all the files, none of the objects are appearing on the stage only their registration points(the white circles right?). If I isolate the object it appears.

how would I go about creating a flash application that has the ability of extending beyond its object width and height on a page? I've seen those crazy flash ads which beg you to hover over them only to have it take over 3/4 of the page you are viewing. How are they doing that? Is it a combination of Javascript and Flash? Or, is it actually a really big stage that is somehow hidden in the HTML? Or (better yet) is there a magic way of pushing flash objects beyond the stage and out into the HTML?

how to add completely new data to XML data I'm holding in a var.
I'm importing XML data into an editor I'm creating. The XML looks like this:
<itemList_120>
<mediaFile order="1" playTime='2' transIn='1' transOut='9'>gif.gif</mediaFile> <mediaFile order="2" playTime='1' transIn='6' transOut='8'>jpg.jpg</mediaFile>
[Code]....
Rather than change existing XML data, how do I add completely new data? ie, if the above var held two "mediaFile" lines of XML, how do I add or insert a third?

I'm studying the code for a vertical shooter game that is given in the book "ActionScript Design Patterns 3.0." The author is explaining the factory pattern and so covers just that aspect of the code -- doesn't cover hit testing. I would like to figure out how to do hit testing for this example because it's similar to something I am planning.
The code for the game consists of 12 classes, abstract and concrete creator classes, abstract and concrete product classes and a Main class. These classes instantiate the ship and weapon objects at various points in their execution. I made a separate Collision class and I'm trying to find all the objects on the stage using this Collision class so I can hit test them with each other. Here's my code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Is there a way to fix this code so I can access objects on the stage? Am I missing a cast somewhere? Or do I need a different approach to find objects on the stage in a multiclass game?

I have a problem with this code:[code]There are two overlapping objects on my stage: character_mc and vanish_mc. As soon as i start the scene [Ctrl+Enter] vanish_mc is VISUALLY removed. But the code still sees a collision somehow. How can i Entirely remove the object vanish_mc?

I'd like to be able to access some objects which are on the stage before compile time (e.g. in my .fla file). I can do this fine from the document class using the names I've assigned to them, but I need to be able to do this from other classes (instantiated at runtime) too.
What is the best way to go about this? Can I use the stage variable (this isn't looking likely from what I've read so far) somehow? Or do I need to pass in references to these objects from my document class when I create the instances of the class that needs to access them?

I'm having an issue accessing items on the stage from some imported code. I found this topic that discusses the same issue... [URL]
I'm not sure I totally understand how to go about this. I don't understand how to make the object global so I can access it from any class. (I have the same problem with an array I'm working with).

I am using Flash CS4 and need to resize my Flash stage and all objects therein.
To do that I activated onion skin tool, selected all objects and all frames and resized by using the transform tool.
However, masks and some motion paths are not scaled proportionally.Is it yet another bug in CS4? Here is a video illustrating the [URL]...

I have exported a page from InDesign to FLA that contains an InDesign multi-state object (MSO) and when I bring it into Flash and export as a SWF, the MSP just cycles through all the contained images. There's an Adobe KB that states that this is a known issue and that ActionScript can be used to stop the MSO from cycling. Does anyone know the ActionScript used to stop this?

I increased the size of my stage to 1280 x 1024 and now objects on the periphery have disappeared. When I zoom in they appear, but when I zoom out or export the movie the objects in the center are there but the objects around the edge do not appear. If I add an object and drag it to the edge I can watch it disappear as I am dragging it, but when I zoom in it is there. I have no masks and I need to create the video at the higher resolution, so I cannot resize the stage smaller.

We are making a simple Flash game intended for mobile phones via Flash 5.5 using ActionScript 3.0.We are animating an array of objects vertically until they hit another object at the top of the stage.We instantiate each element of the array with one of 10 MovieClip animations.Each object has two event listeners; one to animate vertically and another to listen for a mouse click(which removes the object from the stage).We run into an issue when more than 10 objects are on the stage at one time.The issue is that the objects disappear sporadically and without explanation. We assume the problem is due to some type of memory/ garbage collection issue.Below is a snippit of our code that dispatches the MovieClip instances onto the stage.[code]What can we do in order for the MovieClips to not disappear?

Ok. So there are serveral methods to implement Collision detection like R-trees, Quadtrees, BSP trees Recursive Dimensional Clustering (RDC). Or maybe more.My problem is that I have about 6-8 enemies on stage, some of them moving some of them static and also I have the Hero who is shooting with three types of missiles at same time. So I get about 70-100 objects on stage at a time.My question is, which algorithm to use for this type of problem, and which is the common practice? Also which is the most efficient?I was thinking of implementing Quad trees but I read that thy can be slow, or I am wrong?

I have an object created visually. How should I refer to it from classes of other objects? MovieClip(this.root).someObj or stage.someObj or MovieClip(this.root).stage.someObj? And moreover, if I want to see which frame is current on the main timeline, why I cannot just check stage.currentFrame? Why there is no such property of the stage, currentFrame? It has timeline, right?

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 align objects to the stage, so that after the browser window is resized, the objects/MC's are still in the same places (top middle, right middle and so on...).[code]But this has to be loaded from an external .as file as far as i'm aware.I need the above code to work on frame one of the flash file. How can this be done? i'm sure it's something easy like replacing the "public" parts of the code... Also does the obj part of the code refer to the MC name?

I have a MovieClip MainGame that is associated with my external AS File where all the code lies. Everything works really well but.. I place an object inside the MainGame movieclip and give it an instance name . Now when I try to access it from the .as it says "Access of undefined property xy.."
I tried it with textboxes and movieclips, all the same.. I know it worked 20 times exactly like this and I have even compared an older Game where I accessed it just like this.... I really don't know what Flash is playing on me..

I wonder if there is away to move all objects currently on the stage at the same time without addressing each of them and regardless what obects which are on the Stage. Something along with Stage.y=-50 I know this wont work but is there a way?

I'm writing a mock backend service for my flex application. Because I will likely need to add/edit/modify the mock data over time, I'd prefer not to generate the data in code like this:
var mockData = new Array();
mockData.push(new Foo(1, "abc", "xyz"));
mockData.push(new Foo(2, "def", "xyz"));
...
Rather I'd like to store the data in a file in some format that it can be easily serialized into my strongly-typed value objects (i.e. Foo above). Ideally I'd like to create the data in a self-describing format(i.e. what data type each field is, what class it represents, etc)
