ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference A MovieClip On Root Timeline From Document Class?
Sep 28, 2009
So I have a MovieClip symbol created in the Flash IDE with a baseClass of flash.display.MovieClip and Class name of "Square". I have placed it on the timeline of my fla at frame 30 and given it an instance name of "square". How can I control that MovieClip from my DocumentClass? I have an ENTER_FRAME listener listening for the arrival of frame 30. At that time I want to simply do something to the "square" MovieClip. But I keep getting a compile-time error of "1119: Access of possibly undefined property square through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.".

Is there a way to get an instance reference to the document class to call a method of it from the stage's timeline?I see that here's a possible solution: using a singletonOther solution I though of is using stage.getChildAt( 0 ) but it's not very nice.Is there an 'official' instance reference? because the document class is obviously instantiated at startup, but is that instance accessible in any way without having to use a custom solution like the ones mentioned?

Is there a way to refer to a Movieclip on the stage from a class file of the document class
Lets say I have 3 MovieClips on the stage(a Circle, a Square and a Triangle)
I have the document class which calls another class that controls the MC on the stage
Example
ActionScript Code:
package {
public class Example extends Sprite {
//Create the instance of the class being called

How do you tell the root timeline to root.gotoAndStop(2); from the timeline of a movieClip added using addChild?In the maintime line I have
addChild(fade_eng);
and in fade_eng I have the following on frame 20
root.gotoAndStop(2);
this.gotoAndStop(1);
But I am getting 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.

How do I reference MovieClips or Sprites created in the Document class from a custom class?[code]But I have a lot objects I want to reference so using the above method would take to long.I know I can do this to reference a MovieClip on the main stage from a custom class.[code]Would referencing the sprite created in the document class be similar?

I'm trying to reference the document class from inside a MovieClip that's dynamically added to the stage. I'm using this script:
Code:
documentClass(root).someVar;
Where "documentClass" is the name of my class (duh).
This works fine, however -- when I move the class file into a folder (and make all the necessary revisions to point to the file) this doesn't work (everything else still does). I get a "not found, possibly undefined method" error. The class name is technically com.documentClass now, how do I point to that? The file is an Adobe Air file.

I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.

I have a function defined in my document class that I want to call on a framescript of a movieclip placed on a timeline. Of course, left to itself it's "undefined", and I can't figure out how to reference parent/root/document class.

I'm loading a lightbox as an image gallery, but I'm working on changing it to full flash. My site is structured with external swfs. I ran into a barrier, because I'll need to load the images (and reference the stage size) in the root timeline, but I don't know how. MovieClip(root) only references the smaller loaded swf's main timeline.

How are they related?
Are they the same?
Is using "MovieClip(root)." from anywhere actually equivalent to coding in the document class?
What's different in their effect on the display list?

Anyways, I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time.Let's say I have my document class. I'm guessing the document class can correspond to the first thing that gets run? (such as the "main" function in most C++/low level languages).If I set a variable in it:var myNumber:Number = 10;how would Iaccess: "myNumber" from other objects in my stage?Like a movieclip on my stage for example.If I go inside that movieclip into the movieclip's first frame, how would I say:trace(TheDocumentClass.myNumber);Another similar question is, what about the actual stage frame?If I click on frame 1 of my stage, set a variable:var aNumber:Number = 5;how would I access it from other objects?In my movieclip's first frame, what would I put?trace(root.aNumber); ?trace(stage.aNumber); ?

Alright, I am pulling my hair out on this one. Got this problem at around 9 last night and was up until 5 trying to fix it, and then all day so far (it's already about 9 PM again) trying to fix it. I've tried everything I can think of.Alright, so I'm trying to reference the document object from various classes in my class library. Everything seemed to be going peachy until I started getting this random, weird error. I thought maybe it was Flash acting up all of a sudden but I tried it on my Mac as well and I get the same error.Basically no matter WHAT I do, I am getting the error:
> 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible
> method getSessionHandler through a
> reference with static type pim:PClient

I made this class and I put it in the same package of Timeline.as (the Document Class):
package {
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
public class Counter2 extends Timer {
public function Counter2(delay:Number, repeatCount:int=0) {

I'm using a PreLoader as a parent SWF that loads the actual website as a child SWF. In the website SWF, the child SWF, will MovieClip(root) still work and refer to it's own root, or the PreLoader's root? And would I still access the websitite's document class (the child's document class), through MovieClip(root)? What if both files have a document class?So my main question is how do document classes and MovieClip(root) behave in the scenario when you have:
Parent SWF - document class, MovieClip(root)
|
Child SWF (loaded by parent) - document class, MovieClip(root)

Using Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)

Is there a way to link to a class file from the timeline rather than using the Document Class? (I tried using the document class but it messed up because of the nested movie clips and stuff like that... so I need another way)

This is probably ueber basic, but I don't know how to do it. I am importing tweenlite on the root timeline like this: import gs.TweenLite;
I now want animate things in other MCs. I tried something like this, but it did not seem to work.parent.TweenLite.to(text1, 3, {_alpha:100, overwrite:0});

I've been trying to switch from AS2 to AS3 by forcing myself to use AS3 on every project and never revert to AS2 no matter what the problem may be. Doing this, I've learned a lot so far, and it has shown me that AS3 has the potential to be much more logical and easier to manage, but every once in a while I run into a problem in which research doesn't prevail.
At the moment I'm working on a project that uses the Union Platform. My goal is to make all control over User1's "Reactor" API managed by a single class.
Anyways, I've ran into a very limiting problem that I can't seem to get by. I can't figure out a way to call the root object and be able to call it's functions from a class!
Here's one of the methods that I've tried (No errors were reported, but it did not work) -
main.as:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import net.user1.reactor.Reactor;
[Code]...
As you can see, I tried to pass "this" as a MovieClip in hopes that I would be able to use the MovieClip's class functions. (Which is most likely very nooby and completely wrong since it's probably not considered a MovieClip reference, but what do I know?) Everything is fine, except the swf does not go to frame 2 when readyListener() is called. No errors are outputted either.

What I'm looking for is a way to reference the document class instance, to be able to access functions and variables that other classes need. I'm currently doing it with this little piece of code I found on some blog or forum.
Code: Select all// This is in the document class
private static var _instance:DocClass; // I have tried setting this to public and accessing it directly as well
public static function get instance():DocClass { return _instance; }
[code]....
This seems to work as it should in Flash CS4, but when I try to run the same code in CS5 I get the following error message:
Code: Select allC:UsersImpenDocumentsMy DropboxFlash Project\_SPELTankGameMenuShop.as, Line 238 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method globalFunction through a reference with static type DocClass.

I have a movielclip, nav_mc, inside which contains my navigation buttons. Lets say I want to effect the time timeline. Before in AS 2.0 I could simply go
jan1_mc.onRelease = function() {
_root.january_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
}
Now in AS 3.0, nothing works.
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, doIt);
function doIt(evt:MouseEvent):void {
_root.january.gotoAndStop(2);
}
That doesn't work. Returns this in errors:
Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported. This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..
Neither does
root.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or
stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
(1119: Access of possibly undefined property ball_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.)
or
_stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or anything!
How do we do this very simple thing now in AS 3.0
TLDR;
How do I reference the _root timeline in AS 3.0 since _root. no longer works in 3.0

My stage is empty except for an MC with a simple animation and an AS 2 layer. There is not a button or user interaction that engages the MC. I want the MC to play when the timeline reaches the frame with the AS. My MC has an instance name of 'blueMC' and here's the AS I've tried:
blueMC.play();
_root.blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
on(load){
blueMC.play();
} onClipEvent(load) {
blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
}
Shouldn't it just be this?:
MCinstanceNmae.gotoAndPlay("Frame# or label");

I'm trying to reference objects on the stage in the current frame from a document class in Actionscript 3 in Flash CS3. In this example, I'm trying to get at a dynamic text field with the instance name "question_txt", but there are also buttons and other things I'll need to get at to put event listeners on and such.
I have "Automatically Declare Stage Instances" checked in the publish settings, so the references should be there -- in fact, if I try to declare them in the class, I get errors about a conflict with the name -- but when I try to reference these objects (in any of several ways I've now tried!) I always get Null.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.text.TextField;

This is probably something basic, but I was wondering how you can access the document class and its children through a frame on movie clip's timeline.
I tried root.<object I am looking for> and stage.<object I am looking for> but neither seem to work.
