Mar 13, 2009
I have buils a flash movie using a document class, all works fine. When I load the movie using a preloader all reference to the stage as in stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; or stage.stageHeight throws a TypeError: Error #1009: I think i undrestand the problem, I am no longer accessing the stage properties. How do i access stage properties from the document class once loaded into the prelaoder?

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'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?

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

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?

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;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;

how to make a dynamic unfilled and filled circle. that will take input from a slider to dertermine how much of the circle is drawn. I wanted to use this for a preloader. Unlike the author I would like to use it inside of a document class. I am getting 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method createEmptyMovieClip through a reference with static type document. and 1120: Access of undefined property circ1. The second is caused from the first. How would I get this to work in my document class?
//original code
// x: circles center x, y: circles center y
// a1: first angle, a2: angle to draw to, r: radius
// dir: direction; 1 for clockwise -1 for counter clockwise

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?)

I have built a basic preloader that runs in my document class. I'm having trouble with it.I'm guessing its due to what a class can and can not access from the stage?theres 2 problems. the first is that I cant change the keyframe the stage is on from the class. the second is im getting an error 1009 if I comment that out.

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.

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 am making a website where one main swf loads several other swf components into it, and the first step is for the loadbar swf to be loaded in.
Code:
package{

import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class MainClass extends MovieClip {

I am getting the following errors:

Source:
loadbar.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.C OMPLETE, addLoadBar);
loadBar_mc is an empty movie clip on the main.fla stage which I am using just to position the loadbar.

I have created 1,5mb swf file and I need preloader for it. I don't have any timeline code in it. All written in OOP, based on document class. I grabbed a preloader from my previous projects but this one doesn't work. The output is: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at myDocumentClass()"Basically I want to load large swf in my preloader swf or whatever will work. I tried add loaderInfo to my document class but complete event triggered only when everything is loaded, and nothing appear before that. Just a blank screen.

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.".

I have a file, "fish_stages.swf". It works in my browser and flash player.I am trying to preload it with a preloader.swf with a short timeline code:
Code:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("fish_stages.swf"));
[code]...
However, when I run the preloader.swf file I am getting all sort of reference error #1065 messages. My fish_stages.swf file uses several classes...I checked all of them and they are public.I unchecked "automatically declare stage instances" but every instance I have in my movieclips I declared using the following format:
public myInstanceOnStage:LinkedMovieClipName = new LinkedMovieClipName();

I'm running into an instance where I am trying to load a file 'main.swf' using the Loader class and the content of the 'evt.currentTarget.content' points to '[ object Main__Preloader__ ]'. When attemting to trace the content of the loader, I would expect the trace would show similar to '[object Main ]' since the document class for the main.swf is 'Main'. In Safari I can get the file to load and play properly (admitting through a work around) however, on Firefox for mac all that displays is some sort of 'preloader' (which I can assure you I did not create) which looks like so:
Here's the animated sequence:
oooooooooo
I will mention I am using CS5 on a mac and this file works fine when published from CS4 to FP9. I will also mention that the main.swf does contain imported assets from a RSL.

How to access a display object on the stage in a class which is not a document class?
I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve passing the stage as a parameter to the class.
One solution i always come across is using "TopLevel.as". Is it a good method because as far as I have heard using global variables is not recommended because it might cause some problems while working on big projects.

I've got a document class (EgoGame.as) and another class (Ball.as) which has been duplicated to deal with several different video pieces. Inside the document class is a list of 'if' statements which decide which video should be played. At the moment I'm doing it the old fashioned way whereby if the condition is true....it tells the relevant Ball class to gotoAndPlay a certain frame within the linked movieclip...

I am trying to code a flash app entirely in the document class. I am using GestureWorks with a touch screen. When a user essentially presses a button it calls a method that should hide a specific graphic but not the graphic they touched.
Essentially I need a way to refer to a graphic on the screen using a method besides 'e.target'.
I am receiving this error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
[Code]...
It can access photo1Sprite as 'e.target' when the button click happens on the photo1Sprite. The problem happens when to click one button (not photo1Sprite) and have it effect photo1Sprite. So I can make photo1Sprite react if my method is attached to it directly using 'e.target' but not if I am trying to call it from a method that was called from another element on the screen.

I am currently working with a contractor company that is hosting a flex based website. They are putting the swf files that I have developed into their flex site.The issue that I am having is that within my swf file I need to reference the stage.I do this by "MovieClip(parent).stage"... I do not use the keyword "root", I just reference my swf's root through however many "parent"s i need. It works fine when I publish on my own, outside of their flex site. When it is used in the flex site, they are getting an error that they cannot reference the stage/ stage is null. It is vital that I am able to reference the stage of my swf.
