For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:

View 6 RepliesI have a really peculiar problem that relates to the old question of how to best access the instance of the document class from a different class. I usually add a 'this' as parameter when I create an instance of another class inside the document class. Then I save this 'this' in a class property of the type 'Object'. It usually works just fine but lately I have encountered a really bizzarr error.
When my movie first starts I have to load 2 xml-Files. I do that in another class - that calls upon the document class instance when it is finished. I use 4 methods for that, each calling the other, when it is finished.
(like one doing loader.load(urlRequest),
then loader.addEventListener
(Event.Complete, nexthandler) and so on
Now, when I call back to my document class from the last of these 4 methods it works just fine. But when I try skipping the first two methods (since I now need only one xml-File) - my try/catch-statement suddenly complains: TypeError: Error #1010! Like it needed more time to establish the instance of the document class or something similar strange.
I have a main document class with another class instanciated (mouse follower.as) within it. I want the mouse follower class to access a stage instance. How is this done?
View 1 Repliesaccess one instance of a MovieClip on the stage (blue_mc) from within the class file of another MovieClip (red_mc).e.g. One instance of "Blue" on the stage called "blue_mc", and one instance of "Red" on the stage called "red_mc". Both symbols are linked to class files (Blue.as and Red.as).In Red.as, I set up a function to listen for a mouse down event. When this is triggered, I want to move the instance blue_mc. At the moment, though, I can't seem to get a reference to blue_mc.I've looked into the new stage and root properties, but even though blue_mc is on the stage, it cannot be accessed using stage.getChildByName( "blue_mc" ) either.
Code for Red.as:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have created some (TextInput, ComboBox, CheckBox) Component instances (created as a public objects) in a Document class and added them to the stage.
Now I have created a custom class for a movieclip in library and instantiated it in the document class (also a public instance).
I need to access the component instances in the custom class. How to do this ?
Also, Is it a good practice to use ENTER_FRAME event frequently ? because if I can't access the above components instances in the custom class then I will be left with no choice but to use ENTER_FRAME event in the document class every time I need to change some value in the components...
I'm with a doubt that is crashing my project over here.
Example: I have my class....
Code:
package {
public class SoundPlayer extends CheckVersion{
public static var saveId:Object = {};
public function SoundPlayer($url, $vars):void{
trace(saveId[$url]) // here the class return to me the first call
[Code] .....
If I access SoundPlayer.Init(), I pass my URL and my variables, I got the first access, but for example, when I save this variables on my constructor and want to access again with a different call, the flash output returns like "null", like... SoundPlayer.PlayInit("myId");
take a look bellow
Code:
public static function PlayInit($url :String):SoundPlayer {
trace(SoundPlayer.saveId[$url] as SoundPlayer);
return SoundPlayer.saveId[$url] as SoundPlayer;
}
How I can access this variables in second time?
Currently I have two classes which are "bullet" and "enemy".There are two instances of the enemy class.Code from an ENTER_FRAME event in the Bullet Class:
ActionScript Code:
try
{
for(var k:int=0; k<getEnemys.length; k++)

The Enemy Class has a private variable called "hits".What do I have to do in order to reduce the hits of the instance of the enemy that was hit by the bullet?
I have a stage with instances of bauble_mcs on it that are attached by the document class of the main timeline (can someone tell me what the right term is here? I don't know what I call the main time line in AS3).I then have instances of snow_mc attached by the same class. Inside the snow_mc I want to test to see if it is hitting any bauble_mcs but I don't know how!
inside snow_mc I am trying:
PHP Code:
if(this.hitTestObject(this.parent.bauble_mc)){
}
to which flash says:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property bauble_mc through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I have an xml and it has items, you can trace the items in Flash, but how do I call them to allow me to identify that object getting clicked on the stage?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<menus>
<menu id="1">

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've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me.[code]

1.I have a MovieClip in the Library. There is a named and dynamic text box in the MovieClip. In Frame 1 of the .fla, I construct the MovieClip from the class StatusBoard and add it to the stage. There is one setStatus method in the class to set the text. This works fine.[code]

3. In lay terms, I used addChild to add a MovieClip with a dynamic TextField to the stagw and I want MovieClip buttons created from an .as class to be able to change the text on a rollover.What I can't seem to do is actually reference the billboard that I added using addChild from the .fla.The buttons work and trace the desired text, I can't seem to send that text to the billboard.
