I just started programming OOP and I'm running into a scope problem. In the following project, I have a masterClass called App. The App-class has Screens:Screen-class and a Navigation-class as it's children. From the navigation class I want to control which screens will be displayed. I don't know how to do this.

Ok im rather new to flash so ill do best i can to describe this. I have a HealthBar movie clip with 3 layers, bottom layer is just a red rectangle, middle layer is a green rectangle that is a movie clip, and the top layer is just a border. the green rectangle movie clip has an instance name of bar. i put my HealthBar on my stage with an instance name of healthBar and i change it when the players health goes down by calling _root.healthBar.bar._xscale = health where health is 0-100.
this works all fine and dandy. now i have a movie clip of MiniBoss with an instance name of miniBoss# where # is a number of the layer depth when it is created. in the MiniBoss movie clip i have an instance of the HealthBar with an instance name of bossHealthBar. i tried to call from within the MiniBoss class bossHealthBar.bar._xscale = health but i get an error that there is no property of bossHealthBar.bar._xscale. how do i access the bar in the HealthBar in the MiniBoss clip from the MiniBoss class in its onEnterFrame() method?
Look at this example [code]...

When I add a TextInput to the stage I can access it with instanceName.text. this works. Now I have one Movieclip with one TextInput inside (the textinput's instance name is testetxt). This MovieClip has a corresponding class and its code is the following:
class com.sck.testeT extends MovieClip
{
public var testetxt:MovieClip;
[Code]....
The textinput gets transparent but the text isn't changed... I realized it was because the textinput wasn't initialized yet. so I have to wait a while, but how can I know that it was initialized and I can set the initial text by code?
i've got an inheritance chain of AS2 classes set up where i have an array in the 'child' class that i'd like to be able to access from the 'parent' class:
bottomClass.as -'parent'
topClass.as -'child'
my question/dilemma is: how can the parent access the properties of a child class...is this even possible, or am i just looking at it wrong?

I 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]...
In actions in my .fla file I create a new object of a class (addChild) which is in an separate .as file. Now, in my .as file I want to call a function in the .fla file. This should be the parent right? So, I try parent.correct(); which does not work. I get the error #1061 (call to a possibly undefined method). However, when I do this:
var par:* = parent;
par.correct();
Everything works. Why is this?
I have a child class that is loaded into the parent class when the swf begins, like so: var myvar = 'hello'; public function Parent() { this.child = new Child(); }; How can I retrieve the variable 'myvar' from within child?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.
View 9 Repliesi am trying to create a simple quiz in school. I have one test question which requires the answer to be -1.I have created Input text and assigned the variable answer for this question.I have a button with the following AS2 script:
on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if(answer eq "-1" or answer eq "minus 1"
or answer eq "Minus 1" or answer eq "Minus one" or answer eq "minus one")
[Code]....
Firstly whatever you type the numerical keys are immobilised on the keyboard when the .SWF file is builtSecondly I cannot enter the correct answer!! If I type in Minus 1 etc it goes to frame 3.I have tried flags rather than frame numbers - same problem.i have tried remaking the quiz as a separate file.using CS4 and CS5 flash - windows 7 PC.
I think this is a pretty simply problem but I do not seem to be able to pull it off. Basically I have a parent class A, and a child class B.Class A instantiates class B with addChild.There is a shared object which is being updated from a java server (red5) that has an event listener attached to it in class A.I have a function in class A which will pass certain, specific updates from this shared object to class B.The problem occurs is that when class B is instantiated, the event listener from class A doesn't work anymore. I have not removed the event listener from A.?

Well- actually, my problem is a bit more abstract than this thread's title suggests..ere's the setup:I have a parent function (called "Game") with a couple of subfunctions.There is one subfunction ("Game.prototype.spawnBonus") that, as the name suggests, spawns a Bonus Item by duplicating a movieclip.The duplicate movieclip is created on "_root"-level and has an onEnterFrame attached to it that checks whether a certain stage is met (all this works).Now the problem is, when the case is met, I need to access a subfunction of "Game" and pass it the MC's ID to fade out the Bonus Item. Like so:[AS]Game.prototype.fadeBonus =
function(number) {
// just some stuff to fade out the MC with the number
// passed through the value "number". This works well,

I have a container with text and a button and an image.
When i Mouse over the button i want to be able to tell the text inside the container to change its TextFormat to another.
How do i tell the text to do so, i though it would be something within the MouseEvent like,
event.target.parent (someway to access other child).setTextFormat()
is their a simple way to access another child from within the same parent?
