I have a dynamic text field on my stage, instance name: "lives_txt"
I want to populate this field from my Document class "Ball.as"
So in my Ball.as class I have tried: parent.lives_txt.text = String (lives);
where: public var lives:int = 3;
I get an error: access of possibily undefined property lives_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.
i have a text field on stage called "txt" that i would like to access from a sub class but i get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property txt.

I'm trying to access a text input that I've already placed on the stage (inside a movie clip) but with no luck.I've defined an instance name for this dynamic text field which is currentUserCount.I've got something like this set up in the document class actionscript file:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;[code].......
What am I missing? When I run this I get:
1120: Access of undefined property currentUserCount.
1120: Access of undefined property movieClipName.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property movieClipName through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
1120: Access of undefined property currentUserCount.
i have several instances of the same class on stage every time i change the text in the text field of one of the instances, they all change i would like to have different text in each instance?
View 5 RepliesI have one movieclip object with a custom class.
That class has a loop that creates / instantiates a number of copies of another movieclip from the library. This second movieclip has a textfield child in it. When I convert this textfield to a movieclip I can access the properties of it fine, but just as a dynamic textbox I can't access it.
This is the custom class of the second movieclip that gets instatiated a few times by the first custom class...
This custom class relates to a movieclip that has a child MC called recent_text (which I can access ok) and in that child is another child (a dynamic text field called "aDynamicTextBox", which I can't access)[code]...
Everything with my PurePDF project is in place I just need to be able to take user input and put it into the PDF document that is created.
If I have a text input field on the stage called inp_Name, how would I access the text the user puts into that from my document class which creates the PDF file and put that information into a variable in my document class?
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 was wondering how do you access the stage property from a different class that's not the principal class tied to the fla? Essentially, I have main.as which calls another class menu.as, and I can't seem to be able to use the stage.stageWidth property from menu.as. What's the proper way to be able to use the stage property from any class? Do I have to import it separately each time?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to access a text field lying on the movie clip filmBar. I tried all kinds of things but nothing really happens, apart form the cursor turning into a text marker.This is how it looks at the moment:
ActionScript Code:
for (var j:int = 0; j<4; j++)
{
var film_btn:FilmButton = new FilmButton;

Edit: I've come to realize the main problem I'm facing is that I want a text field that already exists in a movieclip or on the stage to take the string from a flashvar. For some reason it will not do that. How do I make a pre-existing text field change to match the flashvar text?

I have a movie clip instance on the stage called textContainer_mc.
On frame 25 in this mc I have a dynamic text field with an instance name of infoText_txt.
Im trying to access the text field via my actions frame on the root timeline like this;
HTML Code:
textContainer_mc.infoText_txt.text="welcome";
The problem is if I put the text field on frame 1 of the textContainer_mc the text field shows but if its on frame 25 it doesnt.
I need it on frame 25 because I want the text to show up after an animation has played.In other words I want the textfield to stall from showing until the animation inside textContainer_mc has finished playing which takes 25frames.
I have a MC, instance name "jez_mc" this is inside an MC, instance name "container_mc". container_mc on on the stage.I then have an MC dynamically added to the stage. In this MCs timeline I want to access a variable stored in the class that is linked to jez_mc. This var that I want is named "score"So i figured in my timeline I could use something like:
var _jez_mc:MovieClip;
_jez_mc = MovieClip(root).container_mc.jez_mc;
trace("_jez_mc.score");

I'm trying to access a MovieClip created within the authoring tool from an ActionScript class. Here is my code:
PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class MoreVideos extends Sprite {
[Code].....
I also tried changing that to [stage.moreVideosBox.visible = false;], but I then got "1119: Access of possibly undefined property moreVideosBox through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage."
Is it possible to directly alter items in the authoring tool from a class? If I move 'moreVideosBox.visible = false;' outside of the class, in the main .as file, it works fine.
i have textfield myTxt on stage, and i have Room.as class file.

This is for AIR: My document class imports a separate class "ConnMonitor" and uses it to constantly monitor the network connection. It's at the very end of that class where it's supposed to update a textfield on the stage as the connection changes, but the class can't access the textfield.

I can't able to access the my_mc(placed in FLA) movieclip. How do I access?
I have a document class called Main, and a class called DispatchEventExample. In DispatchEventExample, I'm trying to add an event listener to the stage but get an 1120 error, access of undefined property stage.
If I understand things correctly, even though I create an instance of DispatchEventExample in Main, it's not added to the display list & therefore cannot access stage.

Also, can I pass the MovieClip from the Document Class to another custom Class?

I have a simple dynamic text field inside a button object. This text field has the name of txt_title.

The string representing the function name will be read from xml @ run time.
var combo:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
