ActionScript 3.0 :: Populate AddChild In A Function?
Jul 19, 2009
I would like to create a function that adds a child to whatever mc i choose like this where targetMc is the mc that i want the child (libraryMc) to be added to
PHP Code:
functionName(targetMc,libraryMc);
so right now my function looks like this
PHP Code:
function functionName(targetMc:MovieClip,libraryMc:MovieClip):void
{
var libContent:libraryMc = new libraryMc();
targetMc.addChild(libContent);
}
i know this is wrong as new libraryMc() is also being replaced with the libraryMc:MovieClip and that is probably why it's not working.

I am using a gallery written in AS3.0 called SlicedCubeGallery. It used Flex to publish the gallery.I can edit the functions for the SlicedCubeGallery, and the one I am targeting is the one that swaps the images (which I have running on a timer).I am loading the whole gallery SWF onto my stage using this code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("slicedCubeGallery.swf");
cubeGallery_mc.load(request);
addChild(cubeGallery_mc);

Code:
var rockSpawn:rock;
function doCollision():void
{
trace("collision detected at "+collisionLoc+", Time: "+flash.utils.getTimer());
rockSpawn = new rock;
[code]....
This function spawns a rock object from the library at a given location, and then moves it to the right every frame until it reaches the edge of the screen, at which point it's deleted. The problem: when a rock is spawned, it moves to the right, but when a new rock is spawned, the previous one stops dead. Each rock moves progressively faster, as if each rockSpawn.x++ is stacking to make the object move 1 pixel faster each time the function is called.
How would I modify this code to spawn separate instances of a projectile that behave the same? Also, how would I reference them for say, collision detection? That is:
Code:
if (a rockSpawn instance collides with the movieClip ship)
{
do stuff;
}

Does anyone know how to addChild(aMovieClip) to stage by using a static function, like:
public static var player
public static function LoadPlayer()
{
GameEngine.player = new Player
stage.addChild(player)
}
(Or better yet tell me how to run functions in different class without creating instances of them or using static function )

I'm using the addChild function to a movieclip to load up another section on the site. However,everything behind that loaded SWF is still running,meaning sections are constantly stacking and it slows down the more sections you access.I've been trying to think of ways to resolve this and have yet to come up with a decent solution. I've thought of removing the previous swf,but that would would take the swf with it that was loaded as a child.Here's the important bit of my code you should see:
ActionScript Code:var section2Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Tracks.swf");var section2Loader:Loader = new Loader ();tracks_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tracksPage);function tracksPage(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]......

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:

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

I have the followings:
_p:Player (which is a MC)
a1:Animation1 (which is a MC)
_p.addChild(a1); //doesn't display anything
_p.stage.addChild(a1); //displays a1
Why won't the MC display a child without using his stage?

I'm trying to resolve an issue that reared it's ugly head yesterday.Frame one of main timeline I have the following code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]....
The newMC doesn't show up.If I add 'parent.' in front of the addChild then it appears.mc_LibItem has a base class of "flash.display.MovieClip" and is exporting for ActionScript and on frame one.For grins I created a new .fla and began messing around with the same addChild idea and it worked.

Page.addChild(attachedMC);

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

If I have a ComboBox component on stage and it has 11 options in it, is it possible to populate a dynamic text field with text based on which one of the 11 options are selected?ComboBox has instance name of 'age' and has 11 options to choose from (Opt1, Opt2, Opt3, Opt4, Opt5, etc.).There are also 11 dynamic text fields (instance and variable names of c1, c2, c3, etc.). I want the text fields to be blank unless the corresponding option is chosen. So, if Opt1 is selected from ComboBox 'age' then populate 'c1' with the number 1, if 'Opt2' is selected populate 'c2' with 2 and so on, otherwise the text fields stay blank.

I've been looking at this for four days and not getting to a solution. I've got an xml file with patent data, and a .fla that needs to populate a dynamic array of buttons. I've got a trace statement that shows that the xml is loading, and the first button appears, so I know the linkage and naming are correct. But for some reason I don't understand the button labels don't populate with the xml data.
